MOVIE NEWS: Arrow Films' Vincent Price bonanza for 2014...

Fans of the great Vincent Price are well catered for on UK Blu Ray this year, as Arrow Films have a line up of real classics scheduled between April and June - click on the images for a larger view...



First up will be 1973's Theatre Of Blood, in which Vincent puts the ham into Hamlet as a thespian who doesn't take too kindly to the drubbing he gets from the critics, and takes appropriately Shakespearian revenge on each of them... A fantastic supporting cast includes Diana Rigg and Ian Hendry in one of the greatest horror comedies of all - expected on April 28th...



Arrow follow up last year's definitive release of The Fall Of The House Of Usher with Price's next collaboration with director Roger Corman. They tackled Edgar Allen Poe's The Pit And The Pendulum in 1961, further developing their formula from the last outing. The gorgeous looking steelbook version will be the one to go for - expected on May 12th...



The following month, there's a double bill to look forward to: The Complete Dr. Phibes will pair up 1971's The Abominable Dr. Phibes and 1972 sequel Dr. Phibes Rises Again, as the titular villain picks off the surgeons he holds responsible for his wife's demise - Available on June 9th.



Details of extras are yet to be finalised at the time of writing, but if Arrow's previous releases are anything to go by, these new HD upgrades should be nothing short of definitive - find out more or place a pre-order by clicking the individual titles, or browse the Arrow Films online shop by clicking here. Meanwhile, I'm off to empty my piggy bank...
