EXORCIST II: THE HERETIC
A true bad movie classic! A nominal sequel to THE EXORCIST, this is a staggeringly ambitious, globe-spanning vision of ancient evil and redemption that’s also colossally misguided.
THE EXORCIST
Here we come to perhaps the most famous and revered horror movie of our time–indeed maybe of all time
EXECUTIVE KOALA
Japanese director Minoru Kawasaki’s follow-up to his cult hit THE CALAMARI WRESTLER was this goofy 2005 psycho thriller about a businessman koala bear who may or may not be a murderer
EVILSPEAK
As a longtime Clint Howard fan I’ll always have a soft spot for EVILSPEAK, which marked Clint’s first-ever starring role—even if it is extremely dated and overall quite dumb
EVIL WORDS
Good mystery-horror from Quebec that mixes crime, detection, hallucination and the supernatural to satisfying effect
EVIL DEAD II
A film as influential to the horror genre as any of the biggies (DRACULA, THE EXORCIST, etc.), Sam Raimi’s EVIL DEAD II: DEAD BY DAWN introduced a near-revolutionary mix of slapstick and horror
EVENINGS ON A FARM NEAR DIKANKA
A comedic and fantastic Russian adaptation of Nikolai Gogol’s 1831 novella THE NIGHT BEFORE CHRISTMAS that, despite its “classic” status in some quarters, is too antic and overwrought by far
EVEN DWARFS STARTED SMALL
A strange, anarchic masterpiece from German filmmaker Werner Herzog, who was mining a vein similar to the films of David Lynch and Harmony Korine years before those guys came into vogue
THE EVE OF IVAN KUPALO
This 1968 Russian mind bender has sorcery, murder, tortured romance, mass hallucinations and bold, frenzied visuals worthy of Dario Argento or Alejandro Jodorowsky
ETOILE
A lame ballet-centered horror flick that was mercifully forgotten until the release of BLACK SWAN, with which it shares quite a few similarities
