All in Weird
Jonathan Glazer’s UNDER THE SKIN
It’s like no place on earth I’ve ever seen.
Tae-kyung Kim's MUOI: THE LEGEND OF A PORTRAIT
This atmospheric and competent horror film follows a young Korean author as she travels to Vietnam to investigate the legend of a haunted portrait.
Higuchinsky's UZUMAKI
Things in this town are so weird that we cannot take it seriously, yet they are familiar enough to generate a sense of foreboding.
Walter Salles' DARK WATER
While other reviewers (and the crew interviewed on the DVD’s bonus features) compare it with Rosemary’s Baby, I think it refers back much more to the classic — and disturbing — Don’t Look Now by Nicholas Roeg.
Carnival of Souls
This black and white gem from the early Kennedy administration era is a window into the past.
Lucky McKee's MAY
So don't just expect blood and guts with this movie. There's serious well-made weirdness going on here.
Guy Maddin's THE SADDEST MUSIC IN THE WORLD
This is my first Maddin film. What first came to mind as I was watching it, trying to figure out what to compare it to, was "This looks like what the residents of Nightmare Before Christmas's Halloween Town would have dreamed up had someone asked them to create a sensitive comedy about human sadness."
