The Andromeda Strain (1971)
Sci-fi thriller from director Robert Wise which is based on Michael Crichton’s 1969 novel of the same name. Starring Arthur Hill, James Olson & Kate Reid
Arrow have rightly gained a exceptional reputation for releasing fully restored films with many undergoing 2k restorations. However some titles get the 4K scan treatment such as this one.
The product description states:
“New restoration by Arrow Films from a 4K scan of the original camera negative.”
Def-Con 4 (1985)
Canadian Post-apocalyptic film. Directed by Paul Donovan / Starring Lenore Zann, Maury Chaykin & Kate Lynch
This one’s also been restored with Arrow stating
“Brand new 2K restoration from the original 35mm interpositive.”
Three astronauts survive World War III by being aboard a space station during the hostilities. However upon returning to earth they find a completely different world from the one they left.
The Sender (1982)
British horror film from director Roger Christian.
Starring Kathryn Harrold, Zeljko Ivanek, Shirley Knight & Paul Freeman
I’ve been prasing Arrow Video for their restorations but it seems fans of The Sender will only have a high definition transfer and will have to hope the image quality is pretty decent. Arrow simply state
“High Definition (1080p) Blu-Ray presentation.”
Double Face (1969)
Italian Thriller from director Riccardo Freda.
Arrow deserve a lot of credit for releasing restored versions of most of their releases and Double Face is no exception. Or as they put it
“Brand new 2K restoration of the full-length Italian version of the film from the original 35mm camera negative.”
American Horror Project Vol. 2 (Contains three horror films)
This one also states
“Brand new 2K restorations from original film elements.”
The films include are:
- Dream No Evil (1970) Directed by John Hayes
- Dark August (1976) Directed by Martin Goldman
- The Child (1977) Directed by Robert Voskanian

June appears to be a rather nice themed month with plenty of of horror and post-apocalyptic titles. I may review a couple of these such as The Andromeda Strain (1971) keep a look out for those. It should however be a very good Blu-ray release having undergone a 4k restoration.
