AMERICA’S DEADLIEST HOME VIDEO
These days it’s difficult to recall just how fresh and innovative this shot on video feature was back in 1992. It was an early attempt at found footage moviemaking, and still holds up reasonably well.
AMER
A tribute to the giallos of Dario Argento and a remarkable piece of hallucinatory filmmaking in its own right, AMER is among the most impressive foreign imports of the past decade
AM1200
That title could use some work, but otherwise this 40 minute film is a top-notch exercise in Lovecraftian apprehension that’s gory, atmospheric and impressively cinematic
ALUCARDA
Both a guilty pleasure and a skilled work of transgression, this “nunsploitation” movie from Mexico blends artful visuals with pure sleaze
ALRAUNE (Film, 1928)
This German silent is the most famous of the many adaptations of Hanns Heinz Ewers’ ALRAUNE, and with good reason
ALLIGATOR
Surely the finest killer gator flick ever, and a clear triumph of inspiration and enthusiasm over a low budget
ALL THE BOYS LOVE MANDY LANE
A 2006 indie that’s garnered a lot of attention because it took over six years to be released in its native country
ALL CHEERLEADERS DIE (1999)

ALIEN 2: ON EARTH
This is the unauthorized Italian-made sequel to ALIEN that was withheld from American release for decades
ALIEN BLOOD
Terrifically entertaining, superbly filmed shot on video horror/sci fi madness that was released, believe it or not, by Troma
