PANIC IN YEAR ZERO!
This 1962 classic is a stark and disquieting look at a socio-economic breakdown in the wake of a nuclear attack
X,Y
This digitally lensed mind roaster is among the darkest depictions of male-female dynamics you’ll ever experience
X: THE MAN WITH THE X-RAY EYES
Here’s a film that should be remade, an early sixties Roger Corman potboiler with an unusually imaginative script that utilizes ominous Lovecraftian overtones
A QUIET PLACE IN THE COUNTRY
Baffling Euro-nuttiness from the late sixties. This film probably won’t appeal to most viewers, but for those of you who (like me) enjoy psychedelic weirdness it’s a must
THE QUIET FAMILY
Pitch-dark comedy horror from South Korea about a family who can’t seem to keep from killing the guests of their rural lodge
QUEENS OF EVIL
An Italian counterculture howler that will appeal to devotees of surreal baloney. It’s a colorful and flamboyant film to be sure, and even fairly enjoyable in its own loopy manner
THE QUEEN OF BLACK MAGIC
More nutty Indonesian horror, and far from the best example of such. Still, THE QUEEN OF BLACK MAGIC definitely has moments, and was one of the first films of its kind to make any kind of impact in the USA
QUATERMASS AND THE PIT
The highlight of the Nigel Kneale scripted Quatermass film series, a triumph of intelligence and imagination that juxtaposes Lovecraftian horror, alien invasion, telekinesis, astral projection and mass psychosis
Q: THE WINGED SERPENT
A quirkier-than-average monster mash from writer/producer/director Larry Cohen, one of the genre’s most singular talents
UPSTREAM COLOR
Imagine a collaboration between David Cronenberg and Terrence Malick and you’ll have the essence of this downright maddening film, which must nonetheless be counted as one of 2013’s most important releases
