RABID DOGS

One of the final films directed by Italy’s great Mario Bava, and certainly his most radical and unprecedented work

RAAT

An above-average 1992 Bollywood horror movie. It’s a mite overly self-conscious and derivative for my tastes, but definitely has its moments

DER TODESKING

An authentically post-modern horror film from Germany’s wildest wild man Jorg Buttgereit

DENTI

This indescribably tripped-out concoction is an unholy mess, but it’s also arrestingly weird

DEMONS

Nothing too deep here: A Pastaland eighties classic with movie theater patrons getting turned into flesh eating demons

DEMON POND (1979)

A little known stunner by Japan’s Masahiro Shinoda, whose visual brilliance, audacity and fecund imagination are put to excellent use in this spectacular Kabuki-styled fantasy

THE DEMON IS ON THE ISAND

Medium-strength French horror from the eighties that’s rather trashy and overwrought, but not entirely unaffecting

DEMENTIA 13

It’s an article of faith among many film buffs that the top filmmakers of the so-called movie brat generation (Scorsese, Spielberg, Lucas, etc) all had “monumental” debuts
