Welcome to Arrow Beach is a 1974 film.

Harvey said the film was "vaguely reminiscent of Suddenly Last Summer... it could be labeled a contemporary parable about innocence in a very sick world".[1] He later called the film a thriller "which makes no comment on anything."[2]

Filming began in February 1973. Harvey was very ill during the shoot from the cancer which would kill him.[3]

Reception

The film took three years to be released. The Los Angeles Times called the film "a dreary, tedious tale".[4]
