Arrow Video has William Friedkin’s Cruising, Tobe Hooper’s TCM 2 and Lifeforce, and more arriiving in February.
Arrow Video has unveiled their February Blu-ray lineup, hitting some major titles that will find viewers cruising the streets of New York City, dining with the Sawyer family and fending off space vampires.
Arriving on February 25th from Arrow will be William Friedkin’s Cruising, which is being featured in a limited edition 4K release, notably restored from the original camera negative. While you’ll see some previously available special features, the set has some new extras. They include:
Brand new commentary featuring original musicians involved with the soundtrack
I Want to Be the Curator, a brand-new interview with actress Karen Allen
Walking the Line, a brand-new interview with actor, film consultant, and former police detective Randy Jurgensen
Breaking the Codes, a brand-new visual essay surrounding the hanky-codes featuring actor and writer David McGillivray
Cruising also comes with a 120-page perfect-bound collector’s book with photos, articles and essays, as well as a reversible sleeve featuring new artwork by Sister Hyde.
Arrow also has The Texas Chainsaw Massacre 2 arriving, with the sequel hitting shelves one week earlier on February 17th. Along with a 4K restoration from the original negative in 2160p, you can expect a lot of goodies, including special packaging, a booklet with new essays, postcards, and even a chili cook-off recipe. While the packaging is new (and incredible), those who dig the original artwork that spoofed The Breakfast Club will be happy to know that a reproduction is also included in the set. TCM 2 is a bit light on new special features, but does have some solid-sounding additions:
Are We Not Both the Living Dead?, new visual essay by Scout Tafoya
You’ve Got Good Taste: Cannibal Camp and Perverse Parody, new visual essay by Miranda Corcoran
Also arriving on February 17th is another Tobe Hooper essential, Lifeforce. Like TCM 2, Lifeforce is a bit light on new material but it does feature both the 116-minute International Cut and the 101-minute Theatrical Cut, immediately making it a must-own for fans. There, too, is new artwork and a collector’s booklet with writing on the movie.
Be sure to check out Arrow Video’s website for more details for in-depth details of the special features, technical specs and more, as well as other titles arriving in February.
