Arrow Video has announced its July 2026 slate, and while the month is stacked with cult thrillers, dystopian sci-fi, crime classics and Japanese exploitation, horror fans will probably want to head straight for Hush. Mike Flanagan’s lean home invasion chiller arrives on Limited Edition 4K UHD on July 13, bringing one of the sharpest modern suspense films to premium physical media.
Released in 2016, Hush was directed by Flanagan and co-written by Flanagan and Kate Siegel, who also stars as Maddie, a deaf novelist living alone in the woods. Her isolation is shattered when a masked killer appears outside her home, turning her quiet retreat into a brutal fight for survival. The genius of the film lies in its simplicity. It does not need an army of monsters, ten timelines, or a haunted Victorian child whispering in Latin. It just needs one woman, one killer, one house, and the horrible realisation that nobody is coming to help.
The film became an important early showcase for Flanagan’s gift for character-driven tension before his later work on The Haunting of Hill House, Doctor Sleep, Midnight Mass and The Fall of the House of Usher. Hush works because the suspense is built around Maddie’s specific experience, with silence becoming both her greatest vulnerability and a tool she can use against her attacker. It is clever, controlled, and deeply stressful, which is exactly what you want from a film designed to make you check every window in the house afterwards.
Arrow’s edition looks like a strong one. The release includes the Shush Cut, a black and white version with an alternative audio mix, alongside a feature-length Q&A with Flanagan, a brand new visual essay, and interviews with the cast and crew. For fans of Flanagan, Siegel, or home invasion horror in general, this is easily the July title to beat. It is also the sort of release that makes you grateful Arrow exists, because otherwise a film like Hush could easily remain trapped in the streaming void forever, rattling the door handle and wondering where its special features went.
Also arriving in July from Arrow Video is Joel Schumacher’s Falling Down, released on Limited Edition 4K UHD and Limited Edition Blu-ray on July 20. Starring Michael Douglas and Robert Duvall, the 1993 thriller follows D-Fens, a man who abandons his car in Los Angeles traffic and begins a violent walk across the city as his frustrations spiral into increasingly dangerous confrontations. Robert Duvall plays the veteran cop trying to track him down on his final day before retirement. Arrow’s release features a 4K restoration, an audio commentary with Schumacher, Douglas and others, new interviews and a collector’s booklet.
William Friedkin’s To Live and Die in L.A. lands on Limited Edition 4K UHD on July 6. The 1985 thriller stars William Petersen and Willem Dafoe in a stylish Secret Service story about obsession, counterfeiting and revenge. Shot by Robby Müller and scored by Wang Chung, the film remains one of Friedkin’s great later works, following an already towering career that included The French Connection, The Exorcist and Sorcerer. The Arrow Video edition includes a 4K restoration from the original camera negative, a commentary from Friedkin, new artwork, reversible sleeve and collector’s booklet.
For fans who like their horror a little more sunburnt and existential, Soylent Green arrives on Limited Edition 4K UHD and Limited Edition Blu-ray on July 27. Directed by Richard Fleischer and starring Charlton Heston, the 1973 dystopian sci-fi classic imagines a future of overpopulation, ecological collapse and food scarcity. Heston plays Detective Robert Thorn, whose investigation into a murder connected to the Soylent Corporation leads to one of cinema’s most famous revelations. Arrow’s release features a new 4K restoration from the original 35mm materials, two audio commentaries, onstage interviews, vintage featurettes, new artwork and a collector’s booklet.
Crime fans also get The Outfit on Limited Edition Blu-ray on July 27. Directed by John Flynn and based on a novel by Richard Stark, the film stars Robert Duvall as Earl Macklin, a professional thief recently released from prison who goes to war with a criminal syndicate after his brother is killed. Karen Black and Joe Don Baker co-star, with a strong supporting line-up including Robert Ryan, Timothy Carey, Richard Jaeckel and Bill McKinney. Arrow Video edition includes a new commentary, new appreciations, a new featurette, booklet and reversible sleeve.
Then there is the Sex and Fury / Female Yakuza Tale double bill, released on Limited Edition Blu-ray on July 6. These 1970s Japanese exploitation titles showcase the lurid, violent world of Toei genre cinema, with Reiko Ike starring as Ocho Inoshika. Sex and Fury was directed by Norifumi Suzuki, while Female Yakuza Tale was directed by Teruo Ishii, best known to cult fans for Horrors of Malformed Men. Expect revenge, yakuza sleaze, psychedelia and enough exploitation madness to make your nan quietly leave the room.
July is Paked for Arrow Video
So yes, July is a packed month for Arrow Video. But for Stalk & Slash readers, Hush is the crown jewel. A minimalist horror masterclass, finally given a serious 4K edition with extras that actually matter. Silence has rarely sounded this good.
