WHAT IS IT?
Q: What is the absolute WEIRDEST movie of the 00s? A: This ten-years-in-the-making cinemutation, the directorial debut of nutcase actor Crispin Glover
THE WATER SPIDER
This oddity, hailing from early 1970s France, is the only movie about a tiny water spider transforming into a full-sized woman that I know of
THE MYSTERY OF RAMPO
A strange and often puzzling fantasy about the late Edogawa Rampo (1894-1965), Japan’s foremost horror/mystery scribe
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
