THE STRANGERS
A vastly overpraised novel, but one that imparts a powerful sense of near-otherworldly strangeness
PIGGY
Cinema du Brute, which has given us CARRIE, EVILSPEAK and MAY, gets a 2022 airing in PIGGY, a slickly made Spanish import
TWO
A Spanish made Netflixer about a man and a woman who awaken in a strange room with their stomachs stitched together
AMIGO
A two-hander featuring a real-life Spanish comic team going slowly bonkers
SOY LEYENDA
This 1967 adaptation of I AM LEGEND is interesting enough to at least warrant some attention
THE PLATFORM
This Spanish language science fiction mindbender is very much in the tradition of Vincenzo Natali’s CUBE
1986: The Year in Bedlam
Fact: anyone who says the eighties were a “golden age” for film is wrong, wrong, wrong, as the year 1986 proves quite amply
2019: The Year in Bedlam
What is there to say about 2019? A lot, albeit not on the movie screens
THE DAY OF THE BEAST
A Christmas movie we can all get behind!
AOOM
A weirder-than-average 1970 feature by Spain’s Gonzalo Suarez that marks a worthy addition to a distinguished filmography
