PARASITE EVE
A film that falls into every conceivable trap, turning its memorable source novel into a silly and misconceived muddle
THE QUIET FAMILY
Pitch-dark comedy horror from South Korea about a family who can’t seem to keep from killing the guests of their rural lodge
UNDO
There’s never been a love story quite like this 47 minute Japanese drama about insanity and obsessive knot-tying
UNDERTOW
Not to be confused with the many, many other films called UNDERTOW, this is a 1996 made-for-Showtime thriller. The best I can say for it, I’m afraid, is that it had promise
THE UGLY
Pretty good nineties horror from New Zealand, with style, decent acting and gore a ‘plenty!
JUDGE
More old school manga madness from Japan. This film is too short and rather cheesy, but it’s also interesting and imaginative
JACK FROST
Not to be confused with the 1979 Rankin/Bass TV movie or 1998 Michael Keaton feature of the same name, JACK FROST is a fairly recent (1996) Yuletide slasher flick
JACK BE NIMBLE
One of the best genre items of recent years, this 1994 New Zealand release is that rarity of rarities: A truly original horror film
A GUN FOR JENNIFER
A reasonably potent 1996 addition to the female revenge movie subgenre that was never commercially released in the U.S
GUMMO
Arguably the magnum opus of filmmaker Harmony Korine, GUMMO is one of the most freakish and disturbing films you’ll ever see
