LE GRAND DEPART

A 1972 French film shown almost entirely in negative exposure, which in itself makes it worth a watch

THANATOMORPHOSE

The spirit of David Cronenberg is evident in this profoundly disquieting art-horror film about a young woman’s body decaying from the inside out

TAXIDERMIA

This Hungarian freak-out isn’t really a horror movie, yet I believe it will be best appreciated by horror fans

RED AND ROSY

This ultra-kinetic sensory assault is a one-of-a-kind achievement, and certainly the only drag racing monster movie you’ll ever need to see

RAT PFINK A BOO BOO

Take three murderous scumbags, two cut-rate superheroes, several rock and roll music numbers, some dumb-assed slapstick, a seemingly never-ending chase through the streets of LA, a guy in a cheesy gorilla suit and a final showdown in Topanga Canyon (whose scenery the director couldn’t resist) and you’ve got RAT PFINK A BOO BOO

THE RAPE AFTER

One of the wildest Hong Kong horror fests from the eighties, which believe you me is saying A LOT!

DENTI

This indescribably tripped-out concoction is an unholy mess, but it’s also arrestingly weird

DARK AT NOON

Some serious weirdness from the late Raul Ruiz, who delivered a wildly inventive satire about the walking dead, soul transference, prosthetic limbs, miracles and magic paintings
