SURRENDER DOROTHY
A dark, twisted no-budgeter about a disturbed young man who attempts to turn his hetero-male roommate into Dorothy, the perfect woman
SUPER XUXA VERSUS SATAN
The Brazilian kid show hostess Xuxa is the headliner of his beyond-ridiculous, utterly inappropriate kids’ film whose title adequately sums up its so-called charms
SUICIDE CULT
This ultra-obscure train wreck of a movie is a colossal embarrassment, but it is undeniably fascinating to watch the film’s hideously confused storyline—which somehow mixes astrology, mass suicide, CIA intrigue, mind control and the Second Coming—unfold
STRANGLER VERSUS STRANGLER
There’s no other movie quite like this loony comedy-chiller from Serbia, which never takes an expected turn and has a cheesy yet curiously elegant style that’s very much its own
SOUL VENGEANCE
This “blaxploitation” movie is infamous for a one-minute scene near the end involving a homicidal penis…which is indeed an eye-opener, but the rest of the film is pretty crappy
SONNY BOY
The 1990s were filled with independent films marketed, most often misleadingly, as “bizarre”, “shocking”, “subversive” and other similarly enticing adjectives. For a nineties indie that really is all those things go directly to SONNY BOY
SMALL WHITE HOUSE
One of the key underground films of the nineties, a beyond-strange Tijuana-set reverie on the JFK assassination that freely incorporates pornography and scatology.
SKINNER
If the purpose of a horror movie is to startle then this one must be counted as a success, particularly in some unforgettable gross-out moments. That doesn’t change the fact, however, that it’s standard-issue nineties straight-to-video trashola in nearly every other respect
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
SANTA SANGRE
A truly amazing 1989 film by Alejandro Jodorowsky–bold, violent, surreal and completely irresistible, it’s one of the decade’s finest films
