NOTHING
It’s a rare event when a film arrives with a genuinely bold and unique concept, and even rarer when said film actually lives up to it. NOTHING, directed by Canada’s Vincenzo Natali, handily accomplishes both feats
NOSFERATU THE VAMPYRE
One of the small handful of movie remakes that actually surpass the original, this is German filmmaker Werner Herzog’s stunning redo of F.W. Murnau’s legendary NOSFERATU
NORMAL LIFE
Those who claim HENRY: PORTRAIT OF SERIAL KILLER’S John McNaughton is a one-trick pony need to check out NORMAL LIFE, a hard-hitting and exciting true crime saga
NO MERCY, NO FUTURE
From Germany, a bleak and unforgiving portrayal of madness, notable for its uncompromising realism and a stunning lead performance by Elisabeth Stepanek
NINJA III: THE DOMINATION
I just can’t get enough eighties cheese, and this Cannon production is about as cheesy as they come
THE NIGHT STALKER
One of the most popular TV movies of all time, and still a witty and enjoyable, if extremely dated, 1972 film
NIGHTWATCH
This 1994 Danish chiller remains a potent and atmospheric exercise in unease
NEAR DARK
One of the great vampire movies, and in my view the best-ever film by director Kathryn Bigelow
NADJA
The “masterpiece” of American indie film darling Michael Almereyda, a highly evocative and idiosyncratic (read: pretentious) black and white reverie set in mid-1990s NYC
HUMANOIDS FROM THE DEEP
More eighties trashola from Roger Corman, with plenty of gore, slime, cheesy sea monsters, gratuitous T&A and one of the cinema’s better mutant birth scenes
