Buzz, Film

This August, experience the unique, pitch-black comedy Heathers in a new 4K restoration via ARROW. This acerbic satire of the sugar coated high school movies of the 1980s, directed by Michael Lehmann, pushed the teen comedy into dark and nightmarish territory.

Widely acknowledged as a true cult classic of modern American cinema, it is distinguished by the career defining central performances of its stars Winona Ryder (Stranger Things) and Christian Slater (True Romance).

SYNOPSIS: At Westerburg High School, an elite clique of snobby girls known as “Heathers” reign supreme. Smart and popular, Veronica (Winona Ryder, Stranger Things) is a reluctant member of the gang and disapproves of the other girls’ cruel behaviour. When Veronica and her mysterious new boyfriend, J.D. (Christian Slater, True Romance), play a trick on the clique leader, Heather Chandler (Kim Walker), and accidentally poison her, they make it appear a suicide. But it soon becomes clear to Veronica that J.D. is a sociopath intent on vengefully killing the school’s popular students. She races to stop J.D., clashing with the clique’s new leader, Heather Duke (Shannen Doherty), and leading to an explosive final confrontation with her troubled former lover.

HEATHERS is available on Limited Edition 4K UHD and ARROW from 5th August.
