From the chilling imagination of horror master Clive Barker (Hellraiser, Nightbreed) comes Candyman one of the greatest horror movies of the 90s, now newly restored on 4K UHD from Arrow Video. When grad student Helen Lyle (Virginia Madsen) begins working on a thesis about urban legends, she comes across the terrifying tale of the Candyman a vengeful, hook-handed spirit who can be summoned by saying his name five times in the mirror.

Raw, violent and shocking, Scum is a compelling story set in a contemporary Borstal.

One of the most controversial films ever made in the UK, and one which caused a furore when it was first screened on TV, 'Scum' stars Ray Winstone as Carlin, the one man prepared t...

Diehard supporters of everyone's favourite anti-Pope will want Demistifying the Devil, if only because Marilyn Manson is all things to all of them--cutting-edge nu-nasty rock theatre act or slacker anti-hero--you take your choice. However, this very unauthorised biography (there's no footage of young Brian himself or his immediate musical circle other than a few seconds of blurry concert material) is also informative viewing for the merely curious. Mostly consisting of anecdotes from people who were either associated with him before he became famous or who were ejected from his entourage, it soon becomes clear that MM was and remains a genuinely talented visionary. It also becomes clear that the best thing he ever did to further his career was to abandon the huddle of derivative no-marks who constituted the "scene" in his home town of Ft. Lauderdale, Florida and whose parochial ramblings dominate this unintentionally hilarious documentary. If you're a fan, you'll have your faith confirmed. If you're not, you'll still end up feeling strangely pleased that both Manson and those he left behind are getting the respective levels of attention they deserve. --Roger Thomas
