SWIMMING POOL
One of the signature films of France’s Francois Ozon, who’s turned in a sexy and absorbing psychological chiller
SURRENDER DOROTHY
A dark, twisted no-budgeter about a disturbed young man who attempts to turn his hetero-male roommate into Dorothy, the perfect woman
SHIVERS
The first feature by David Cronenberg, 1975’s SHIVERS pretty much set the stage for what was to come from “Dave Deprave.”
SEEDING OF A GHOST
If you can get past this film’s lousy opening minutes you’ll experience one of the wildest of all Hong Kong horror movies—and considering the unfettered nature of most such films, that’s no faint praise
ASYLUM (2005)
This British production seems destined to be remembered best for its troubled production history. It’s a solid work, though, a compelling romantic chiller with a first-rate performance by the late Natasha Richardson
PRIVATE PARTS (1972)
Perverse is the word for this freaky 1972 film, the first by the late Paul Bartel
PLAY MISTY FOR ME
The directorial debut of Clint Eastwood, and the uncredited inspiration for FATAL ATTRACTION, was 1971’s seminal girlfriend-from-Hell chiller PLAY MISTY FOR ME
X,Y
This digitally lensed mind roaster is among the darkest depictions of male-female dynamics you’ll ever experience
LOVE RITES
From the great Walerian Borowczyk, a uniquely spare and poetic erotic reverie with extremely dark overtones that erupt in the horrific final scenes
FATAL ATTRACTION
It seems hard to believe that this very silly movie was taken as seriously as it was back in the late 1980s
