SISTER MY SISTER
A terrific British film about the notorious Papin sisters, French maids who in 1933 murdered their female employer and her daughter while carrying on a torrid incestuous relationship
SINGLE WHITE FEMALE
2017 marks the 25th anniversary of this nineties thriller, one of the key entries in the “girlfriend/neighbor/cop/nanny/roommate from Hell” subgenre so popular at the time
SINGAPORE SLING
SINGAPORE SLING contains nearly everything we’ve come to expect in “cult” cinema: mind-boggling weirdness, unapologetic perversion and a steadfast refusal to play by any rules
SHALLOW GRAVE
The timeworn concept of normal folks finding a suitcase full of money is given a wicked dose of mid-nineties cynicism in this memorably twisted British import, the directorial debut of Danny Boyle
SERIAL MOM
In my view John Waters’ best film, a funny and subversive comedy about serial killer worship starring a never-better Kathleen Turner
THE SECT
This horror opus from Italy’s Michele Soavi is long winded, incoherent and overly derivative of the films of its producer and co-writer Dario Argento, but excels nonetheless in arrestingly grotesque, hallucinatory imagery
SEANCE
Kiyoshi Kurosawa is one of the most distinctive talents in the J-horror field. SÉANCE, a loose remake of the sixties classic SÉANCE ON A WET AFTERNOON, is not one of his better films, but it definitely has moments
SAURIANS
Perhaps the most ridiculous of the many early nineties dinosaur flicks, a shot on video monster mash from 1994 that appears to have been made for the cost of a day’s catering on JURASSIC PARK
SAFE
One of the most remarkable films of the nineties, and easily the best film David Cronenberg never made
KISSED
A powerful, if seriously flawed, study of necrophilia, KISSED is a daring and exciting film that deserves a wider audience
