Arrow Video is the home video distribution arm of the United Kingdom-based film distribution company Arrow Films. Arrow Video releases collector-oriented Blu-ray and DVDs of independent, international, arthouse, cult, horror, and classic films. In 2018, it released all three entries of director Michio Yamamoto's Bloodthirsty Trilogy in a Blu-ray set in North America, the UK, and Japan. It also released a Gamera Blu-ray box set containing all 12 films, along with Dark Horse's Gamera comic miniseries and Matt Frank's prequel one-shot comic The Last Hope on August 18, 2020. Arrow has continued to release Daiei properties on Blu-ray ever since, notably the Daimajin trilogy and Yokai Monsters series. They also acquired the Hong Kong/Japanese co-production The Mighty Peking Man, due for release as part of a Shaw Brothers collection on December 6, 2021.

Selected releases

All of the titles that Arrow has released so far are also available to stream on the Arrow Video Channel, though the Gamera series is only in Japanese.
