400 DAYS (Matt Osterman, 2015)

January 14, 2017

400 Days is a true classic of the eerie, it makes it easily into my top 10 of the last years. I consider that it carries and brings to fruition the unspoken space program preparation doom of such Cold War era classics as Outer Limits or Twilight Zone. The weird is palpable – oozing, leaking…

A young woman is followed by an unknown supernatural force after getting involved in a sexual encounter. With an awesome soundtrack by Disasterpeace (the same person responsible for Fez OST and other great indie games soundtracks)
GOD TOLD ME TO [Larry Cohen 1976]

File under: paleoastronautic xenotheological space oddity, police procedural meets occult cosmic drama, paranormal conspiracy mind control epic, contemporary demonology docu-horror. Fuck labels, this film is truly hard to pin down, but what comes of it is a brooding, eerie masterpiece! The last two movies I’ve tried to review have been kindly suggested by Felix Petrescu/Makunouchi…
FAULTS [Riley Stearns 2014]

April 17, 2015 Respond

File under: impeccable retro eerie black comedy, weird motel theophany, hypnosis binds us all, exit counsellor discovering the fierce truth about himself. This is definitely one of those movies I fear I will keep watching for decades to come again and again. It is a movie that thrives in a twilight region of deprogramming and…
À Meia-Noite Levarei Sua Alma (José Mojica Marins, Brazil 1963)

March 8, 2015 Respond

I discovered the cursed oeuvre of José Mojica Marins (born 1936) in an Italian horror fanzine I got hold of in 1997 from Rome. They dedicated a lot of pages to an incredible Brazilian phenomenon: a costumed hero like none other – a bizarre magician-like figure with black cape&high hat sporting long, grotesquely curved nails.…
Love Eternal (2013)

February 9, 2015 Respond

one day, a cloistered young man decides that he doesn’t want to live anymore and he starts researching various suicide methods. tens, hundreds of them. but funnily enough, it’s precisely his obsession with death that keeps him alive. accessing a particular side of “love” that most people are willing to sweep right under the rug,…
The Ruling Class (1972)

January 26, 2015 Respond

let’s revisit a cult classic for a little bit: the ruling class directed by peter medak, an acidic satire that targets the english class system and leaves no room for subtlety when doing so. it simply goes for absurd lines, bizarre moments and justly schizophrenic acts instead. with one of a hell performance delivered by…
