Jed Shepherd Selects
Jed Shepherd – writer/director/producer – Host, Dashcam, Scare Package II: Rad Chad’s Revenge
“When ARROW asked me to choose my Selects, I was instantly overcome with a wall of indecision. How the hell do I choose from this expertly curated bunch of absolute bangers? So think of these as my favourite films on ARROW right now, because I know in a week I’ll have 20 new choices. ARROW player is simply the best streaming service for genre films and beyond. In the dark times in which we live, ARROW is the lighthouse, guiding us horror fiends to dry land.”
