APOCALYPSE
Evangelical silliness from the nineties that’s probably the best Christian end-of-the-world movie on the market
APARTMENT ZERO
I wasn’t terribly impressed with this Buenos Aires-set psychological thriller when it first played back in 1990, and it hasn’t improved a whole lot in the succeeding years
ANTIVIRAL
In which debuting writer-director Brandon Cronenberg boldly mines the biological horror trope invented by his father David
ANTICHRIST
Head bashing, perverted sex, stabbing, strangulation, testicle smashing, entrail eating, ankle skewering and vaginal mutilation are among the delicacies of this lacerating film, one of the most provocative and unrelenting cinematic offerings of recent years
ANGUISH
A fairly clever movie theater set splatter film, ANGUISH has some clever touches but suffers from the fact that the film-within-the-film is really lame
ANGST
An Austrian serial killer drama, similar in vain to classics like M and HENRY: PORTRAIT OF A SERIAL KILLER. Many respected critics have dubbed it a masterpiece. Not me!
ANGELS AND CHERUBS
The first and most famous feature directed by Mexico’s Rafael Corkidi, who seems destined to be known primarily as the cinematographer of EL TOPO and THE HOLY MOUNTAIN
THE ANGEL AND THE WOMAN
A Canadian art film from the seventies with supernatural overtones, pornographic interludes and a stern message about the downside of free will and the futility of violence…or something
ANATOMY
This is Germany’s answer to medical chillers like COMA, TERMINAL, EXTREME MEASURES, etc., and it’s every bit as silly and predictable as any of them
AN AMERICAN WEREWOLF IN LONDON
This werewolf classic, from writer/director John Landis, remains a groundbreaking combination of comedy and balls-out horror
