Arrow Video restores classics from the video rental era with the output of Empire Pictures. In THE DUNGEONMASTER, a computer genius and his girlfriend must take battle a demonic wizard in a series of adventures. In DOLLS, travelers lost in a storm take shelter in the country house of a toy maker whose dolls have a deadly life of their own. In CELLAR DWELLER, a comic book artist discovers that the monstrous creation of her artist hero is all too real and very hungry. In ARENA, a short order cook on an intergalactic space station takes on aliens and robots in the ring. In ROBOT JOX, global war in the future is fought one on one by trained fighters piloting massive robots.
