DR. LAMB

One of the most notorious films to emerge from the Category III cycle of nineties-era Hong Kong cinema

DUST DEVIL

Richard Stanley more than made good on the early promise of HARDWARE with DUST DEVIL, a veritable epic of gore and magic set in the deserts of Namibia, Africa

RINGU

Forget about SCREAM or THE BLAIR WITCH PROJECT—RINGU is the state of the art in nineties-era horror

THE REFLECTING SKIN

A gorgeously scenic yet profoundly grim and disturbing 1990 film that, in direct contrast to most movies of the period, has improved with age

RAAT

An above-average 1992 Bollywood horror movie. It’s a mite overly self-conscious and derivative for my tastes, but definitely has its moments

THE DEATHMAKER

This is one of the nastiest, most unflinching depictions of madness and murder you’ll ever experience, despite the fact that THE DEATHMAKER doesn’t contain a single act of onscreen violence

DEADLY MARIA

The first feature by Tom Tykwer was this stunningly lensed exercise in surreal oppression. It’s quite grim, but also absorbing, thought-provoking and deserving of wider exposure

DEAD LEAVES

This no-budgeter is uniquely stark and creepy but also excessively drawn out and monotonous, essentially a promising short stretched to feature length
