BEYOND LOVE AND EVIL
The undoubted magnum opus of French exploiter Jacques Scandelari, this is an undeniably striking, if laughably pretentious, explosion of psychosexual weirdness
BEGOTTEN
A profoundly repellant yet strangely lyrical and poetic cinemutation, BEGOTTEN is a wordless black and white reverie in which God kills himself and begets Mother Earth, who in turn begets Mankind, who in turn endures all manner of abuse
BAXTER
An evil dog whose misanthropic thoughts are voiced on the soundtrack? A deranged kid obsessed with Adolph Hitler? This is by no means a perfect film, but it’s one you won’t soon forget!
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
EL TOPO
EL TOPO is the most famous film ever made by the incomparable Alejandro Jodorowsky, an early-seventies counterculture mainstay that retains much of its off-kilter brilliance
SUICIDE CULT
This ultra-obscure train wreck of a movie is a colossal embarrassment, but it is undeniably fascinating to watch the film’s hideously confused storyline—which somehow mixes astrology, mass suicide, CIA intrigue, mind control and the Second Coming—unfold
SUICIDE CIRCLE
This Japanese shocker has a compelling first hour that seems to portend great things…which makes it all the more frustrating when SUICIDE CIRCLE loses its hold in the final half hour
SPIDER BABY
Time hasn’t been kind to this loveable 1964 oddity, but it remains a memorable film with unforgettable performances
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
