Synopsis: HE’S A MAN OF PEACE IN A SAVAGE LAND… SUBURBIA.
The films of director Joe Dante have taken us to some strange places – a mysterious Chinatown antique store in Gremlins; a secluded resort populated by werewolves in The Howling; even deep inside the human body in Innerspace. But now he takes us to the strangest place of all – surburbia!

Family man Ray Peterson (Tom Hanks) is looking forward to a week of putting his feet up at home in the quiet, leafy cul-de-sac of Mayfield Place. But his plans are scuppered by the arrival of new next-door neighbours, The Klopeks, whose behaviour and habits are more than just a little kooky. But things go from kooky to downright sinister when local old boy Walter disappears, leading Ray and his buddies to suspect their new neighbours of killing and eating him! Sure, the Klopeks are a strange bunch what with their digging up the backyard in the middle of the night – but they’re not devil-worshipping cannibal killers… are they?

If you’re looking for a knowing slice of tongue-in-cheek terror then look no further than The ’Burbs. A standout horror comedy from a director who has given us more than his fair share of fun frighteners, The ’Burbs assembles a superb cast including Tom Hanks, Bruce Dern, Carrie Fisher and Corey Feldman in a tall tale of small-town terror. You’ll never look at those eccentric neighbours in the same way again!

Personally I think everyone (who can) should support Arrow by buying directly from them. A bit like the GB's here.

It could be the difference between them continuing on these great titles in the future or not.

I agree, their ordering system used to be terrible and would put you off using the site, you weren't even able to view order history. But now it's improved a lot, and I will definitely be using it more.

Yes in the Past there website was not the best and no order history was not good
I sent them a message last year requesting better website store and to have the ability to see your order history

Just before Christmas they Launched there new online website shop
Big improvement over the previous online store
You now can see your order history

What was a big very welcomed surprise was their Reward Points System
Its brilliant and you can save lot of money on future purchases

Arrow Video are in my opinion the best studio at releasing fantastic extras with there releases there simply the best in that department
They put lot of effort into Blu-ray releases
They give you great Artwork and Films you probably would not see get released by the mainstream studios

Remember Arrow Video and Arrow Films are from the same Company
Lot of their releases are also released by Scream Factory in USA but Arrow do the same releases much better and nearly always have better extras

They have recently released some fantastic Releases
Usually there Cult Films and Horror Films but some recently have been
Mainstream releases
They recently won studio of the year and steelbook release of the year awards

There Releases are Quality Releases that put other studios to shame
You can Buy Arrow releases Direct or from most retailers like Amazon/Zavvi/Hmv etc

They also for a limited period on Pre Orders releases have them at a cheaper price to encourage early Pre Orders customers (Arrow Website online shop)
Also check out their Facebook Site Arrow Films & Video and Arrow Films great for new release information and to ask questions

Can't wait to see what extras they'll come up with. I'll definitely be getting this, not sure from who though. I just don't like the idea of paying up front for something I won't receive for months, especially when you don't know what Amazon's price will drop to.
 
I would, but I simply don't like the idea of paying up front for something I won't receive for months. If they took the money when it was dispatched then I'd definitely buy direct.

I agree and this is why I haven't pre-ordered anything from Arrow directly.

I bet you both have credit cards though?! It's Ok to buy stuff when you don't have credit but if the process is reversed it becomes a problem?! :p

Personally it doesn't bother me. Pay now or when it's despatched, I'll still have to pay. At least when the bills add up in a few months I know this is already covered and I don't have to go looking to see if I can squeeze it in to my (already stretched) budget ;)

**URGENT EARLY BIRD PRICE UPDATE**
We will be ending our early bird special offers on all Q2 titles earlier than originally anticipated. All early bird prices will now end at 9.30am tomorrow morning. We are really sorry for the short notice but unfortunately this is something that is beyond our control.

If you are intending to take advantage of our special pre-order offers we would advise that you act swiftly to avoid missing out.

Thanks in advance for your understanding and support.

Strange. Don't they normally have it up to a month before the release date?

Apparently it was out of their control and they apologised for the short notice - pressured by Amazon?! :wtf:

I'm trying to place an order, have set-up an account but can't work out how to get my 100 reward points for registering to be used against the order... Can anyone help?! :emb: :thumbs:

They are asking a lot for people to fork out the cash 3 months in advance. Who do they think they are, Blufans?

All orders placed with Arrow direct is in advance that always been that way

Payment for pre-order items will be collected now for despatch on the release date


If you don't want to pay up front use Amazon or Zavvi

As soon as your register it will show 100 Reward points Balance in your account details and when you go to shopping basket its will show how many reward points you have to spend


You only get 100 Reward points when your register a new account
After that you get reward points with every order you place and then these reward points can be used with future orders
