I agree with that, when I saw the link on HIMclub, I though it was fake so I didn't even watched the link.
Poison Girl, Poison Heart and now Poison Arrow

it's gonna be released on October 17th. i reckon it could be one of them dvd biography things. (see: Fear Of A Satanic Planet - Marilyn Manson). its like Maximum but on a dvd.

but that's just what i think.

-the people over on the official messageboard are all jumping to conclusions and stuff. some guy just said "ok so we all know it's not a HIM dvd" ok how? they drive me crazy.

BUT THEY KNOW EVERYTHING! they have ville valo on speeddial..  ::)
they don't know shit 95% of them could drown to death in an empty bucket.
fuckin' tards.

It doesn't sound like a proper title, It may just be a working title till they have given it a proper name.
who knows? even if it is called "Poison arrow" I could think of worse things to name it...
play.com aren't the most reliable source for info on upcoming dvds/cds.

Title: Re: Poison Arrow
Post by: Jambo on September 14, 2005, 01:12:54 PM
If it is a HIM dvd, and real, i think it will be the WOAB making of, possibly even a Dark Light making of.

HIM are going to try and cash in whilst they can, so releasing loadsa DVDs is all good.

(this picture was taken a while ago!)


so far it's only on UK sites. but on DVD.co.uk it says it is R0 and on Play it says R2 and on B'sW it has no regional information.

i still believe it to be a biographical dvd. as you can see by the cover, it is

Release Dates & Available from the following online stores

Play: 17/10/2005

Tesco's: 17/10/2005

DVD.co.uk: 24/10/2005

Benson's Word: 24/10/2005


Review (PLAY)
Finland's most successful Rock band ever, HIM first gained cult status with their cover of Chris Isaak's Wicked Game. Since then they've carved their own niche with their unique brand of Folk inspired Gothic Meta and have sold millions of albums in the process. This DVD documentary charts their lives and career, showing how they first conquered Finland and went on to build a massive fan base across the rest of the world. With the release of their new album Dark Light this month and the first single Behind The Crimson Door the band look set to increase their massive appeal even further.

So yeah, it's an unofficial Biographical DVD, most likely from the same people that released "Fear of a satanic planet - Marilyn manson" and those kinda dvd's, if i am right then it'll be from the same company that make the MAXIMUM cds.

To keep up to date on other sites that will be supplying this dvd click the link: http://films.kelkoo.co.uk/ctl/do/compare?from=shopbot&catPath=uk%2Ffilm&catId=149201&DVD=checked&title=poison+arrow&actor=&zone=I&x=26&y=5 (http://films.kelkoo.co.uk/ctl/do/compare?from=shopbot&catPath=uk%2Ffilm&catId=149201&DVD=checked&title=poison+arrow&actor=&zone=I&x=26&y=5)

Post by: robertzombie on September 18, 2005, 05:48:17 AM
lol. i'll probably end up buying it. but it's annoying though cause they won't be able to have official music on it, they'll probably get some band like Overdream to do the background music.
Title: Re: Poison Arrow
Post by: anemic on October 10, 2005, 03:46:49 PM
according Seppo that documentary is total rip-off. there is no any HIM interviews (even no any new stuff) only just interviews of some backround guys.. so don't waste your money.

sorry my english

Ya that board is gay.  Somebody created a thread for your least favorite HIM song and somebody locked the thread because they said no true HIM fan should make a thread like that and they got angry all kinds.  Fuckers...lol

It's OK for an unofficial DVD. It has interviews with people connected to the band and the story behind all of their albums. It covers all of their CD's (Including 666WTL and DL) and it also has some brief info on pre-1996 demos and performances. Unfortunately it's only 1 hour long. I rate it 6/10.
Title: Re: Poison Arrow
Post by: Harker on October 20, 2005, 10:36:09 AM
Does the contains rare material of have you seen of that videos before?
Do you see the band or only the people that were interviewed?



Title: Re: Poison Arrow
Post by: robertzombie on October 20, 2005, 11:52:39 AM
It contains no HIM footage/music apart from a few second clips from an interview they done at HMV in 2004.
Title: Re: Poison Arrow
Post by: JetBlack944 on October 20, 2005, 12:27:21 PM
Hmm... 6/10, maybe I'll check it out. It looks like it says Region 0, so it'll play in my American players?

i bought this from MVC a few days ago for £11.99 and its ok, but theres not much interview footage with HIM, i havent watched all the bonus features yet, but the film is ok good bio on the band but not alot of ville and the band on there.

there are no "watchable" bonus features. Just a full discography and a quiz...

They should make a movie on Ville's life. From the interviews and bio's I have read...

It would be a kickass movie.

But who would play his part? Johnny Depp?
Title: Re: Poison Arrow
Post by: _DecayingBeauty on November 14, 2005, 09:48:34 PM
I'm going to be shunned for saying this, and I find it repulsing...but if there ever were a film of Ville's life, I see...::gags:: Bam jumping at the chance to be him. Even though, that would be kind of interesting.................

i have to seen again the poison arrow dvd to write a review, must be this week, i also have one extra to a contest on h-i-m666.com, i've seen a lot of oppinions about this dvd, some of ones really bad, but its just a documentary, very interesting and with correct info, and the most i like its how is filmed, good photography

one of the oppinions says that seppo says: "dont waste your money", but who knows if is true, the pic of seppo on this dvd is .... the worst from him, he looks like angry
Title: Re: Poison Arrow
Post by: xxPlasmaMulletxx on November 21, 2005, 05:11:41 PM
I picked it up at Hot Topic this previous weekend.

It's got some grand photography, I'll say. But for the most part, it seemed like a chopped up way to lure Americans into getting hooked onto HIM more (the ones who hand't heard of HIM before). I didn't see this as a "bad" DVD, just nothing impressive.

I got the DVD at FYE friday. Shelled out $20.00 for it.

I am VERY disspointed although I liked seeing Kari Valo talking about Ville and Mutti was cool to see too but there really was NOTHING in that DVD. You see small little tiny clips of Ville being interviewed with Mige in 2004 which is like.....3 seconds long......

I think this DVD is only good for hardcore collectors, other then that it was crap. The sad part is the back of the DVD linear notes mad eit sound like the best DVD in the world.  ;D

there isn't anything on it, not even their own songs.  its just interviews of people talking about the band, and like one clip where they're not even talking, just looping shit over it

but hey, i didn't pay for it, it was an xmas gift, so i watched it

Yeah, I got this a few weeks ago at Hot Topic....watched it right when I got home.....the only interesting things, as stated, were Mutti and Ville's dad. The narrator PISSED me off! Ahh! Stupid bitch not able to pronounce anything....::growls:: ANYWAY! Yeah.....still, it was okay, I guess........I hope they'll release an OFFICIAL dvd with propper information and music, and a narrator who can pronounce names correctly. ::laughs::
Yeah we could only be so lucky... I have the horrible feeling though that more crappy dvds and promos are gonna come out to lure americans into buying HIM stuff I am kinda mising the days when the Dvd's and concerts were new and exciting.

it doesnt.
this dvd sucks. they dont have permission to use their music or videos, so there may be some like rare pictures and stuff. Its like those Maximum *Insert Band Name* cd's put out. Its not good, maybe if your a hardcore collector, its nice to have, but in all honesty, its not good. i would look over this one.

OMG not is it only worthless to buy, it is also worthless to watch..all I can say is I want my 2 hours back!

The main person they "interviewed" (silke) was drunk off her ass the entire time...adn pretty much all she did is ramble on and on..the photos were...well think of just about the worse pics of Ville you have ever seen and then you have what these phots were..adn the exact same pictures ( I think there was about 5) were shown over and over through out the movie..and at one point they zoomed in so close you could see the buggers in villes nose..NOT COOL!!

Anyways..as a fan I would not buy it..it's unauthurised SH*T !
