Does anyone know if it is possible to cancel pre-orders placed via the Arrow Films site?

I'm sure you'll have to email customer service

Sent them an email. Hopefully the can credit back points too.

I posted in the dedicated thread as well. Caps-a-holic has caps up for both the Arrow and Shout releases of Raising Cain.

Mosin-Nagant · 01-22-2017, 07:13 PM

Raising Cain Arrow : Average Bitrate 29979 kbps / 30002 kbps ( Re-Cut )
Raising Cain Shout : Average Bitrate 35000 kbps on both...
Am I missing something here ?

Yeah they should do. Arrow are really good to deal with as a customer, you'll get the cash back and I've no doubt the points as well.
Only thing I'd be mindful of is if you used points in the sale and they're doubled. I think you'd just get back the original value....which seems obvious to me.

Don't recall anyone having issues with the SF releases quality and that's not always the case. Could be theirs is better then Arrows

I don't mind the bitrate as much as that Arrow's appears to be much brighter than the Shout, but darker than the DVD. I don't know which is more accurate. I have the Arrow version preordered, but I am not sure what I want to do now. If anyone can save me the trouble, how do the extras compare beteeen the two releases?

Wow! Already received a reply about my order cancellation AND my full refund WITH points! And on a Sunday!

Incredible customer service, Arrow!

That higher bitrate doesn't auto-equal better transfer?

Pretty much. Especially looking at the type of AVB used.

They've just posted on Facebook that The Thing will be coming later this year.

***50,000 LIKES SURPRISE TITLE ANNOUNCEMENT!***

The Thing is coming to Arrow Video!

That's right folks, John Carpenter's 80's classic will be joining the Arrow Video line later this year! We are still in the early stages of this release so can't share any specific info in relation to extras just yet but do make sure to tuned as we have some exciting things planned!

We also want to take this opportunity to say a HUGE thanks to every single one of you for supporting Arrow Video and helping us reach 50k likes today - we really couldn't have done it without all of you.

Thanks for being awesome!

Team Arrow.

Can't imagine what they could pull out of the bag to top the SF release at this point beyond deluxe packaging.

If they manage something, great, but just duplicating the SF would make a lot of people very happy - remember the majority of buyers aren't region free (the fools!)

painiac · 01-23-2017, 07:29 PM

as an american, this was a let down (i have the SF release and i usually prefer to have R1 discs anyways), but it's a good thing that this flick gets a good release in another region.

Mostly picture-related. SF is from an IP which has baked in ringing along with digital sharpening artifacts and purple homogenization issues. If Arrow are able to do a new scan from the negative then that should remedy all issues with the SF disc and give us the definitive presentation.

BarnDoor · 01-23-2017, 07:41 PM

Have Arrow been able to restore any Universal titles aside from The 'Burbs? Hopefully they're able to go one step better than Scream with The Thing.

Moreover, if Universal are willing to licence out The Thing over here, I'm quite certain they'd be willing to play ball on Candyman (Arrow's previous dealings with Clive Barker would surely help), The Running Man and maybe even American Werewolf in London.

I predict Arrow screws everyone over:

Brand new 4K release, on 4K blu ray! From the Negative!

Bonus Features:
Trailer!
