LOST HIGHWAY
Weird, creepy and uncompromisingly elliptic, it’s one of the most outright Lynchian films David Lynch has ever crafted
LONG TWILIGHT
One of the finest unknown horror films of the nineties, an effectively subdued and surreal Hungarian adaptation of a Shirley Jackson story
LETTERS FROM A DEAD MAN
From pre-Glasnost Russia, a profoundly grim and depressing look at the aftermath of a nuclear war that’s also a supremely lyrical, poetic piece of filmmaking
LEMORA: A CHILD’S TALE OF THE SUPERNATURAL
A dreamlike and often spellbinding early seventies low-budgeter that’s much beloved by horror cultists the world over
L’ANGE
A stunningly visualized, wordless exercise in dreamlike strangeness that’s an altogether remarkable example of impressionistic razzle-dazzle
IMAGES
I find this REPULSION-esque Robert Altman ppsychodrama pretty silly overall, yet it does have a haunting and intriguing aura
THE DREAM-QUEST OF UNKNOWN KADATH
A primitive but impressive animated rendering of H.P. Lovecraft’s surreal novel THE DREAM-QUEST OF UKNOWN KADATH that captures the dreamy ambiance of the text with uncanny fidelity
DEATH BED
A strange, strange seventies horror flick about a carnivorous bed presided over by the spirit of Aubrey Beardsley(!)
INLAND EMPIRE
A David Lynch movie that makes his previous puzzlers LOST HIGHWAY and MULHOLLAND DRIVE seem downright coherent
INFERNO
This, the second entry in Dario Argento’s Three Mothers trilogy, is the most overtly nightmarish film Argento has ever made
