I bet the crew has seen some of my choices, but just didn’t get to them this time around. They come from across the globe and were made with extremely varying budgets. I’m hoping the crew and I get a chance to share more – so you can share them with unsuspecting friends on your next movie night.
Rubber
The story a sentient tire that kills things with its mind. Need I say more?
Enter the Void
Director Gaspar Noé takes the audience on a tour of life after death from the first-person point of view. Oscar, a drug dealer living in Tokyo, is shot and killed by police. The rest of the movie is a psychedelic head trip that follows Oscar’s post-death journey across his past, present, and future. He sees his parents, his sister, and his own autopsy. Not for folks that have issues with flashing lights or disorienting cinematography.
Riget aka The Kingdom
This Lars Von Trier-led mini-series is many things – a medical drama, a black comedy, and a mystery. All existing within a supernatural horror with some body horror worthy of Cronenberg. It aired on Danish starting in 1994 and tells the odd tales of the neurosurgical ward of Copenhagen’s Rigshospitalet. There are ghosts living in specimen jars, doctors selling things on the black market, a demon baby played by Udo Kier, and much much more. There are three seasons available.
Save the Green Planet!
A man is convinced his boss is an alien from Andromeda, kidnaps him, and interrogates and tortures him in ever more bizarre and violent ways. All in hopes that he’ll get the supposed alien to confess his crimes to humanity and stop the planned destruction of earth before it’s too late. The underlying story is that the exec’s company killed the guy’s mom in a pharmaceutical test, so this is all psychosis. Or not. It constantly wavers from “this guy is nuts” to “this guy is actually an alien” in a way that will have you questioning.
