MOONLIGHT BOY
Poetic, bizarre and altogether impressive nineties-era horror from Taiwan that can be viewed as Asia’s answer to THE SIXTH SENSE
MESSIAH OF EVIL
Amid the innumerable NIGHT OF THE LIVING DEAD wannabes that appeared in the seventies the no budget MESSIAH OF EVIL stands out
MESHES OF THE AFTERNOON
This 1943 experimental short is by no means a traditional horror movie, but it is among the most vital and influential such films
THE MANSION OF MADNESS
This phantasmagoric spectacle, loosely based on Edgar Allen Poe’s story “The System of Doctor Tarr and Professor Fether,” remains a landmark of Mexican horror/fantasy
MALPERTUIS
A surreal gem from 1972, finally unearthed after years of obscurity in a newly restored director’s cut
MAGIC OF THE UNIVERSE
Believe it or not, this Filipino freak-out was intended as a children’s film. That’s despite brain eating, a beheading, a fight to the death and an exploding forehead
THE MAGIC HUNTER
Certainly the only movie you’ll find that features suicidal sharpshooters, magic bullets, living paintings, time tripping rabbits, the Virgin Mary and the Devil, THE MAGIC HUNTER may not be perfect, but it is required viewing for cult movie buffs
VERA
This “transcendental journey of the soul” mixes Mayan mysticism with CGI and elegantly lensed live action into a head-scratching whole that must be counted as one of the most profoundly bizarre Mexican films since the heyday of Alejandro Jodorowsky
VALERIE AND HER WEEK OF WONDERS (Film)
Fascinating Czech surrealism from the seventies. Beautifully filmed, affectionately macabre and totally unique, it’s precisely the type of film They Just Don’t Make Anymore.
THE BOXER’S OMEN
Quite simply: you’ll have a difficult time finding such a mind-roasting mélange of rapid-fire insanity anywhere in or outside Hong Kong
