THE DARK
A disappointment. This 2004 film is plenty weird, yes, and fairly well made, but also clumsy and misconceived
DANTE’S INFERNO (1924)
This is a middling silent drama from 1924, of interest because it contains scenes set in a Hell that, as the title promises, is straight out of Dante
DANGEROUS ENCOUNTERS OF THE FIRST KIND
This relentless exercise in nihilistic violence is a stunner, being the bleakest and most psychotic film ever made by Hong Kong’s Tsui Hark
DAGON
This H.P. Lovecraft adaptation by Stuart Gordon didn’t look particularly promising, but I’m pleased to say I quite enjoyed it
THE CURSE (1987)
This undistinguished 1987 grue fest is of interest for one reason: the name “Louis Fulci,” credited as Associate Producer—actually Italy’s Lucio Fulci
CURE
The artful and disturbing CURE was the breakout film by Japan’s Kiyoshi Kurosawa, and is still arguably his finest work
CURDLED
A memorably twisted black comedy from the nineties, executive produced by Quentin Tarantino and starring the shamefully underrated Angela Jones
CUBE (1997)
One of the most interesting genre films of the nineties, and certainly one of the most audacious, the 1997 CUBE is a breathtaking display of low budget ingenuity
THE CUBE
A fascinating made-for-TV experiment by the late Jim Henson, proving his talents extended far beyond the Muppets
CRIMETIME
A strikingly weird British made entry in the media satire craze of the 1990s, though not a very successful one!
