DREAD
There are some good things in this gorier-than-average Clive Barker adaptation, but it’s a confused and mediocre movie overall
THE DREAM-QUEST OF UNKNOWN KADATH
A primitive but impressive animated rendering of H.P. Lovecraft’s surreal novel THE DREAM-QUEST OF UKNOWN KADATH that captures the dreamy ambiance of the text with uncanny fidelity
DREAMS THAT MONEY CAN BUY
Perhaps the ultimate surreal film, an anthology feature with segments designed by the renowned surrealists Max Ernst, Fernand Leger, Man Ray, Marcel Duchamp and Alexander Calder, and directed by the avant-garde film specialist Hans Richter
THE DUKE OF BURGUNDY
An impressive exercise in erotic delirium by England’s Peter Strickland, who takes quite a few elements common to grade-B auteurs like Jess Franco and Walerian Borowczyk and creates a tightly controlled fever dream of a movie
DUMPLINGS
You probably know this film in truncated form as part one of the THREE…EXTREMES anthology. At its full 90-minute length the film has a real sense of style, not to mention a fair amount of gut-level grotesquerie
THE DUNWICH HORROR
A dumber-than-average H.P. Lovecraft adaptation from 1970, courtesy of American International Pictures, who naturally attempted to juice up Lovecraft’s writing with late sixties psychadelia and gratuitous sex appeal
DUST BOX
Creepy and unnerving art-horror from Sweden’s Ronny Carlsson, whose talent for surreal apprehension is put to unforgettable use
DUST DEVIL
Richard Stanley more than made good on the early promise of HARDWARE with DUST DEVIL, a veritable epic of gore and magic set in the deserts of Namibia, Africa
THE RUINS
Most US moviegoers ignored this slickly mounted, hard-R rated big studio product. Their loss, methinks!
RUBY
One of the last notable films made by the late Curtis Harrington, RUBY is an eccentric EXORCIST wannabe starring Piper Laurie
