1980 Cult Film ‘Arrebato’ Restored for First Ever Theatrical Release in the United States [Trailer]
Never before released theatrically in the States, Altered Innocence has restored the feverish cult film Arrebato (Rapture) and is bringing it to New York and Los Angeles theaters (among others) this October, Bloody Disgusting exclusively learned a few weeks back.
Check out the official trailer below, first shared by Indiewire earlier today, and we’re also exclusively debuting the 4K restoration’s poster art today. Find that underneath the trailer!
The poster comes courtesy of Sister Hyde Design.
“Arrebato, a dimension-shattering blend of heroin, sex, and Super-8, is the final word on cinemania,” hypes the press release. “This towering feat of counterculture was the final feature of Spanish cult filmmaker and movie poster designer Iván Zulueta.”

In the film…
“Horror movie director José is adrift in a sea of doubt and drugs. As his belated second feature nears completion, his reclusive bubble is popped by two events: a sudden reappearance from an ex-girlfriend and a package from past acquaintance Pedro: a reel of Super-8 film, an audiotape, and a door key. From there, the boundaries of time, space, and sexuality are erased as José is once more sucked into Pedro’s vampiric orbit. Together, they attempt the ultimate hallucinogenic catharsis through a moebius strip of filming and being filmed.”
Oscar winner Pedro Almodóvar (Talk to Her, Volver, The Skin I Live In) calls Arrebato a “total modern classic.”
Paramount is heading to Sleepy Hollow with a brand new feature film take on the classic Headless Horseman tale, with Lindsey Anderson Beer (Pet Sematary: Bloodlines) announced to direct the movie back in 2022. But is that project still happening, now two years later?
The Hollywood Reporter lets us know this afternoon that Paramount Pictures has renewed its first-look deal with Lindsey Anderson Beer, and one of the projects on the upcoming slate is the aforementioned Sleepy Hollow movie that was originally announced two years ago.
THR details, “Additional projects on the development slate include… Sleepy Hollow with Anderson Beer attached to write, direct, and produce alongside Todd Garner of Broken Road.”
You can learn more about the slate over on The Hollywood Reporter. It also includes a supernatural thriller titled Here Comes the Dark from the writers of Don’t Worry Darling.
The origin of all things Sleepy Hollow is of course Washington Irving’s story “The Legend of Sleepy Hollow,” which was first published in 1819. Tim Burton adapted the tale for the big screen in 1999, that film starring Johnny Depp as main character Ichabod Crane.
More recently, the FOX series “Sleepy Hollow” was also based on Washington Irving’s tale of Crane and the Headless Horseman. The series lasted four seasons, cancelled in 2017.
