TIDELAND

A Terry Gilliam feature that showcases this vital talent at his free-wheeling best

THE TESTIMONY OF RANDOLPH CARTER

This 53-minute video production from the late eighties is notable as one of the first of a type of film that has become extremely popular in recent years: an amateur H.P. Lovecraft adaptation

TEETH

Solid (if minor) comedy-horror that takes the myth of the Vagina dentata (toothed vagina) and creates something unique and enjoyable

THE ROOST

This indie horror fest went largely unseen during its brief 2005 theatrical release, but is finding an appreciative audience on DVD

ROOM

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

RIVER’S EDGE

A good film, but overrated, RIVER’S EDGE, loosely based on a true story, is one of the most popular of the teens-from-Hell films of the eighties, and features quite a few then-upcoming stars

RIGHT AT YOUR DOOR

Let’s hope this bleak and alarming film, about terrorists who cripple L.A. by detonating “dirty bombs,” is far-fetched scaremongering—because if not then we’d best head for the fallout shelters ASAP!
