ATRAPADOS
ATRAPADOS (1981) is one of the world’s great unknown cult films, a shocking, nightmarish, mind-expanding apocalyptic parable
A ZED AND TWO NOUGHTS
I admittedly don’t know exactly what this film is, but can say for certain that A ZED AND TWO NOUGHTS is a morbid and fascinating oddity unlike anything else

A floating umbrella monster, a hairy three eyed critter with no arms, a guy with no face, a woman with a looooooong neck and a walking fish creature are just a few of the 100 monsters on display here

An interesting relic from the glory days of Film Threat Video, who back in the early 1990s put out some truly vital underground films
X,Y
This digitally lensed mind roaster is among the darkest depictions of male-female dynamics you’ll ever experience
UNDO
There’s never been a love story quite like this 47 minute Japanese drama about insanity and obsessive knot-tying
