SINGAPORE SLING
SINGAPORE SLING contains nearly everything we’ve come to expect in “cult” cinema: mind-boggling weirdness, unapologetic perversion and a steadfast refusal to play by any rules
THE SHOUT
Although it’s fallen into obscurity in recent years, this 1978 film marked something of a milestone in British horror with its unique narrative and unprecedented (for the time) use of sound
SHOCKER
Wes Craven put some interesting ideas into play in this film, but it doesn’t really work. Blame a fraught shoot, and the fact that Craven was attempting in vain to create a NIGHTMARE ON ELM STREET-like franchise
SHIVERS
The first feature by David Cronenberg, 1975’s SHIVERS pretty much set the stage for what was to come from “Dave Deprave.”
SHAKE, RATTLE & ROLL
Here it is, the 1984 three-parter that launched the phenomenally popular—in its native Philippines, at least—SHAKE, RATTLE & ROLL film series
SERIAL MOM
In my view John Waters’ best film, a funny and subversive comedy about serial killer worship starring a never-better Kathleen Turner
SEIZURE
You’d be hard-pressed to find many Oliver Stone trademarks in this, his 1974 debut. It’s not a great or even very good film, being amateurish and pretentious—a deadly combination
SEEDING OF A GHOST
If you can get past this film’s lousy opening minutes you’ll experience one of the wildest of all Hong Kong horror movies—and considering the unfettered nature of most such films, that’s no faint praise
SCANNERS
This David Cronenberg freak-out about warring telepaths contains one of the stand-out moments in horror cinema. As for the rest of the movie, it’s pretty good
SAVE THE GREEN PLANET
From Korea, a horror-sci fi-comedy that’s gross, funny and outrageous
