Ero Guro
The Japanese sub-genre of horror and pink films, Ero Guro, combines the erotic (ero) and the grotesque (guro) to deviant, decadent and unforgettable effect.
ARROW’s Ero Guro collection features the unholy trinity of core Ero Guro films, Teruo Ishii's Shogun's Joy of Torture and Horrors of Malformed Men and Yasuzo Masumura's Blind Beast, plus plenty more exciting, explicit and enticingly depraved delights to delve into.
