Arrow Video has finalized their March 2021 Blu-ray release calendar. It’s rather short; in fact, there are only two total titles coming to market. But don’t fret as there’s a lot of great fun packed into them.
The first is a Japanese double-feature on March 16th: The Invisible Man Appears (1949) & The Invisible Man Vs. The Human Fly (1957). Obvious riffs on Universal’s monster movies, these classic genre flicks aim to delight.

Bonus features include:
- Original lossless Japanese mono audio on both films
- Optional English subtitles for both films
- Transparent Terrors, a newly filmed interview with critic and genre scholar Kim Newman on the history of ”Invisible Man” in cinema
