Bizarre | The Bedlam Files

ROOM

Give this no-budgeter a try: it’s frustrating and inconclusive, but also brilliantly filmed and arrestingly weird

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

This ultra-kinetic sensory assault is a one-of-a-kind achievement, and certainly the only drag racing monster movie you’ll ever need to see

A stunningly photographed, powerfully atmospheric modern silent that’s about as gross, unsettling and plain weird as they come

This isn’t the first book about the English cinema’s premiere enfant terrible Ken Russell, but it is very likely the best

This indescribably tripped-out concoction is an unholy mess, but it’s also arrestingly weird

This dialogue-free oddity can be viewed as the ERASERHEAD of the fifties

Here’s one for fans of late sixties cinematic self-indulgence, of which this film stands as a particularly outrageous example

A strange, strange seventies horror flick about a carnivorous bed presided over by the spirit of Aubrey Beardsley(!)

This 2010 Norwegian chiller looks and often feels like a run-of-the-mill slasher, but branches out in some weird and provocative directions
