SUPER XUXA VERSUS SATAN
The Brazilian kid show hostess Xuxa is the headliner of his beyond-ridiculous, utterly inappropriate kids’ film whose title adequately sums up its so-called charms
SUICIDE CULT
This ultra-obscure train wreck of a movie is a colossal embarrassment, but it is undeniably fascinating to watch the film’s hideously confused storyline—which somehow mixes astrology, mass suicide, CIA intrigue, mind control and the Second Coming—unfold
STREET TRASH
Another eighties-era gorefest that adds up to very little conceptually but excels in manic inspiration. It’s about bums who get a hold of flesh-melting hooch—plenty of grue ensues!
STRANGLER VERSUS STRANGLER
There’s no other movie quite like this loony comedy-chiller from Serbia, which never takes an expected turn and has a cheesy yet curiously elegant style that’s very much its own
SONNY BOY
The 1990s were filled with independent films marketed, most often misleadingly, as “bizarre”, “shocking”, “subversive” and other similarly enticing adjectives. For a nineties indie that really is all those things go directly to SONNY BOY
SNAKES ON A PLANE
Years from now this 2006 movie, and the brief phenomenon it inspired, will be looked upon as one of the most unique products of its time
SKINNER
If the purpose of a horror movie is to startle then this one must be counted as a success, particularly in some unforgettable gross-out moments. That doesn’t change the fact, however, that it’s standard-issue nineties straight-to-video trashola in nearly every other respect
SIX DAYS, SIX NIGHTS
It’s time for a trip to the art house. SIX DAYS SIX NIGHTS, imported from France, is an art film with lots of heavy talk about the nature of love. But it’s also a thriller of sorts, one with enough outright macabre touches to categorize it as psychological horror
SEYTAN
You won’t believe this film, a Turkish made rip-off of THE EXORCIST
SAURIANS
Perhaps the most ridiculous of the many early nineties dinosaur flicks, a shot on video monster mash from 1994 that appears to have been made for the cost of a day’s catering on JURASSIC PARK
