New on 4K Ultra HD: Abel Ferrara's MS. 45 (1981) - Arrow Standard Edition

Product Description: IT WILL NEVER HAPPEN AGAIN! From Abel Ferrara, director of The Driller Killer and King of New York, comes a terrifying revenge-thriller in the tradition of Death Wish and Taxi Driver... Ms .45 (aka Angel of Vengeance) will blow you away. New York, 1980. Raped at gunpoint on her way home from work, mute seamstress Thana returns to the safety of her apartment only to be assaulted again by a burglar; but this time she fights back. Bludgeoning her assailant with an iron, she takes his gun and begins to dispose of the body piece by piece. Fuelled by her trauma, Thana sees that sexual threat is everywhere in the city and decides to bring a .45 calibre solution to the problem. A devastating depiction of sexual violence and female rage, with a stunning central performance from Zoë Lund (credited as Zoë Tamerlis), Ms .45 arrives on 4K UHD in a stunning restoration that gives an extraordinary glimpse into the grimy glamour of New York in the 80s and with all its controversial power intact.
