ROOM
Give this no-budgeter a try: it’s frustrating and inconclusive, but also brilliantly filmed and arrestingly weird
DEMENTIA 13
It’s an article of faith among many film buffs that the top filmmakers of the so-called movie brat generation (Scorsese, Spielberg, Lucas, etc) all had “monumental” debuts
DEMENTIA
This dialogue-free oddity can be viewed as the ERASERHEAD of the fifties
DEJA VU
An interesting Yugoslavian thriller that uses the traditional first-person psychofilm framework to make political points
DEATH LAID AN EGG
Here’s one for fans of late sixties cinematic self-indulgence, of which this film stands as a particularly outrageous example
DEATH GAME
A happily married man unwisely lets two hot chicks into his house, only to have them turn into psycho bitches from Hell the next day in DEATH GAME, one of the most hopelessly inept yet curiously stylish and unnerving psychofilms ever made
DEADLY RUN
A lackluster French thriller notable for its intriguing premise, bequeathed by Marc Behm’s stunning source novel, and an unforgettable performance by Isabelle Adjani
DARK CORNERS
An above-average British-made mind-bender starring the terrific Thora Birch (AMERICAN BEAUTY, GHOST WORLD)
CLEOPATRA’S SECOND HUSBAND
In my view this is the film SEX, LIES AND VIDEOTAPE should have been, an irresistibly demented indie about seduction and obsession among a quartet of thirtysomethings
IN THE WALL
A 26-minute short film marked by plentiful gore, skillfully wrought suspense and a nifty double-twist
