Arrow Video Announces Packed November 2025 Line-Up: Horror, Comedy and Sci-Fi Classics Restored
Arrow Video has carved out a reputation as one of the leading boutique labels for cult, horror and classic cinema, and this November the company is delivering one of its most eclectic release schedules to date. From Wes Craven’s troubled 1980s chiller Deadly Friend to the wild comic book chaos of The Mask and the Oscar-winning brilliance of Billy Wilder’s The Apartment, collectors and genre fans are in for a treat. The line-up also includes the unsettling Danish shocker Speak No Evil, the misunderstood sci-fi adventure Red Planet and Peter Hyams’ underrated space thriller Outland.
This latest collection of discs once again highlights Arrow’s commitment to presenting films in the highest possible quality, often with brand new restorations, alongside hours of extras and collector-friendly packaging. Below is a full breakdown of November’s titles.
Wes Craven’s Deadly Friend
Arrow is revisiting a fascinating entry in Wes Craven’s career with a limited edition Blu-ray of Deadly Friend. Released shortly after A Nightmare on Elm Street, the film blends science fiction with suburban horror. Kristy Swanson plays Samantha, a teenager whose tragic fate prompts her young inventor neighbour (Matthew Laborteaux) to attempt the impossible: bringing her back to life. What begins as a story of young love and robotics spirals into violence, tragedy and Craven’s trademark suburban nightmares.
The disc is loaded with new and archival features, including multiple interviews, critical visual essays, trailers and a handsome booklet. For horror completists, this release finally does justice to one of Craven’s most overlooked works.
The Mask – Jim Carrey’s Breakthrough Role
Few films define 1990s comedy quite like The Mask. Arrow’s new 4K restoration arrives in both UHD and Blu-ray formats, fully approved by director Chuck Russell. Starring Jim Carrey at the peak of his manic powers and introducing Cameron Diaz to the world, the film remains a dazzling mix of slapstick, cartoon logic and cutting-edge effects.
The new release features hours of material, including fresh interviews, retrospective featurettes, commentary tracks and a fold-out poster. With its Looney Tunes-inspired energy, this edition is set to be the definitive release of one of the decade’s most iconic films.
Billy Wilder’s The Apartment
Arrow is also giving cinephiles something to cheer about with a 4K UHD release of Wilder’s 1960 masterpiece The Apartment. Starring Jack Lemmon, Shirley MacLaine and Fred MacMurray, the film remains a bittersweet romantic comedy with biting social commentary. Winner of five Academy Awards, it stands as one of Wilder’s finest achievements.
This edition includes new commentaries, essays, interviews and a suite of featurettes exploring Wilder’s career and Lemmon’s enduring legacy. Presented in Dolby Vision, this will be the best the film has ever looked outside of a cinema.
Christian Tafdrup’s Speak No Evil
One of the most shocking European horrors of the past decade, Speak No Evil stunned audiences at Sundance in 2022 and quickly developed a reputation as one of the most disturbing films in recent memory. Arrow’s limited edition Blu-ray marks the first time the film has received such an extensive home release.
Featuring new commentary from director Christian Tafdrup and co-writer Mads Tafdrup, along with deleted scenes and fresh essays, this edition ensures the original Danish version stands tall even as the Hollywood remake continues to gain attention.
Red Planet – A Misunderstood Sci-Fi Epic
Val Kilmer and Carrie-Anne Moss headline this 2000 release, which bombed on its original release but has since gained a small cult following. Now, with Arrow’s 4K UHD restoration, Red Planet is being reassessed as an ambitious, visually impressive sci-fi survival tale.
Alongside new interviews and a retrospective feature, the disc also includes deleted scenes and behind-the-scenes material. With its striking visuals and exploration of survival on Mars, this could be the film’s best chance at long-overdue recognition.
Outland – Connery in Space
Rounding out the November line-up is Peter Hyams’ Outland (1981). Starring Sean Connery, the film reimagines High Noon in space, with Connery playing a lawman on Jupiter’s moon Io investigating corruption and conspiracy at a mining colony. Long underappreciated, the film combines Hyams’ knack for tension with stunning production design and gritty performances.
Arrow’s new edition brings this film back into the spotlight, complete with extras that explore its influence on later sci-fi classics.
Conclusion
Arrow Video’s November 2025 line-up is a testament to the label’s versatility. From horror oddities to beloved comedies and ambitious science fiction, each release has been treated with care and attention, ensuring collectors and film lovers have plenty to add to their shelves. Whether you are a die-hard genre fan or a cinephile chasing pristine restorations of classics, this month has something to offer.
