Arrow Video Plays ‘DEADLY GAMES’ in February.
Arrow Video has a couple of releases for the month of February but one stands out for the DTB crowd and better yet, most of you may not have seen the film. I’m talking about the slasher, Deadly Games. It’s a film that I remember when I perused the VHS boxes in the horror section in the 80s and 90s. It had killer art but I’m not sure if I ever took a chance on it. I’m excited to give it a spin when it makes its Blu-Ray debut next month. It even stars Colleen Camp, who some of you may have just seen on the big screen if you attended Late Nite Grindhouse’s presentation of Death Game this past weekend.
From the Press Release
Director Scott Mansfield’s oft-overlooked slasher, Deadly Games, makes its disc-debut on February 22. In a small American town, women fall victim to an unhinged masked maniac with a fondness for board games. Each time the dice is rolled, another victim meets a grisly end. Jo Ann Harris stars as a woman that gets caught up in the killer’s sadistic games after she returns home to mourn the murder of her sister. Sam Groom and Steve Railsback co-star. Made in 1980 but not released until 1982, Deadly Games has languished in relative obscurity for the last forty years. Arrow hopes to introduce Deadly Games to a new fan base by shining a new light on this unique oddity of early ’80s horror. This release includes a brand-new 2K restoration from the original camera negative, new interviews with actor Jere Rae-Mansfield and special effects and stunt co-ordinator John Eggett. The first pressing includes a fully-illustrated collector’s booklet featuring new writing by film historian/author Amanda Reyes.
