Three films by Spanish auteur Álex de la Iglesia make their UK 4K UHD bluray debut this month
with the release of Arrow Video's boxset 'Love, Death & Apocalypse: Three Films by Álex de la Iglesia'.
Produced by legendary provocateur Pedro Almodóvar, de la Iglesia's
debut feature Acción Mutante is a violent sci-fi black
comedy set in a post-apocalyptic world where attractive people hold all
the power and a terrorist group, who see themselves as mutants, take arms
to rid the world of their superficial oppressors.
With his second feature, The Day of the Beast (El día de la bestia) de la Iglesia delivered one of the greatest horror comedies of all time
as a Catholic priest joins forces with a heavy metal fan, and the host of
a popular occult TV show to kill the Antichrist on Christmas Eve.
A critical and commercial success around the world,
The Day of the Beast paved the way for gonzo
action-crime-horror Perdita Durango, (aka Dance with the Devil) a Spanish-US-Mexican co-production based on a novel by
Barry Gifford (author of Wild at Heart). Starring Rosie Perez, a then little known
Javier Bardem and James Gandolfini,
Perdita Durango is a twisted tale of love, guns, drugs,
voodoo ceremonies, and refrigerated foetuses...
'Love, Death & Apocalypse: Three Films by Álex de la Iglesia' is
released on September 23rd.
