BOXING HELENA
Some people claim this notorious 1993 bomb is a misunderstood masterpiece. Don’t believe ‘em!
THE BORROWER
With this horror-sci fi gorefest, HENRY: PORTRAIT OF A SERIAL KILLER director John McNaughton proved he was not a one-trick pony, delivering a gross, funny and imaginative B-movie that plays like a darker, grittier variation on the eighties flick THE HIDDEN
BILL AND TED’S BOGUS JOURNEY
I’ve always liked this maligned sequel to BILL AND TED’S EXCELLENT ADVENTURE, which far outpaces that film in spectacle and invention
BATMAN: MASK OF THE PHANTASM
An animated feature from the nineties that’s highly revered by Batman fans, who rank it with Tim Burton’s 1989 BATMAN and the Christopher Nolan helmed DARK KNIGHT features. For a dissenting opinion read on…
BABY BLOOD
A pretty incredible 1990 French horrorfest boasting a highly respectable gore quotient, stylish direction and a strong lead performance by newcomer Emmanuelle Escourrou
THE ETERNAL
A nineties indie interesting for its experimental aspects and the way it slyly recalls the old dark castle horrors of old
EBOLA SYNDROME
We all knew this was coming: a completely over-the-top horror-exploitation movie about the Ebola virus!
SZAMANKA
SZAMANKA is frenzied, subversive and cinematically invigorating, at once a provocative art film and a lurid thriller
SYNGENOR
SYNGENOR begins with a topless babe getting attacked by the titular creature. Later a woman is genetically combined with the Syngenor to become a slimy two-headed what’s-it. Think what you will, but I’ll always have a soft spot for movies like this
SUTURE
An interesting but overly affected psycho thriller from the nineties. SUTURE has a definite charm, though it’s all-but buried under a veritable avalanche of arty pretension
