Welcome to Arrow Beach is a 1974 American horror film starring and directed by Laurence Harvey.
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". He later called the film a thriller "which makes no comment on anything."
Filming began in February 1973. Harvey was very ill during the shoot from cancer. Harvey died in late 1973 before the film's release.
A hippie girl wandering on a California beach is taken in by a Korean War veteran who lives in a nearby mansion with his sister. The girl soon begins to suspect that the mansion is home to some very strange goings-on.
The film took three years to be released. The Los Angeles Times called the film "a dreary, tedious tale".
