Since their 2012 release of Zombie Flesh Eaters, Arrow Video has been supplying genre fans with some of the best physical media on the market. While more and more studios launch streaming services, giving you only the films they want you to see, Arrow has continued to rummage through the discarded heaps of horror films from yesteryear thought to be long lost. Early indications suggest 2020 will be no different.

In just about two weeks, on January 28th, Arrow will release Edge of the Axe from Spanish exploitation stud, José Ramón Larraz. This gnarly slasher about a masked killer running amuck in a small town in Northern California made its way to VHS in the last ’80s and then just sort of puttered out, never to be heard from again. That is, until now. 

Arrow’s release will include the English and Spanish versions of the film, sporting a brand-new 2K restoration using the original camera negatives. The new restoration looks gorgeous and Bloody Disgusting has an exclusive look at the HD-trailer to prove it!

Long lost slashers have never looked this good.

This new Arrow Blu-ray release will also include the following:

• Original uncompressed mono audio
• Optional English subtitles for the deaf and hard of hearing for the English soundtrack
• Newly translated English subtitles for the Spanish soundtrack
• Brand new audio commentary with actor Barton Faulks
• Brand new audio commentary with The Hysteria Continues
