So what is this about?

it is about a haunted house that a bunch of teenage girls go to stay for summer holiday and ends up killing them. pretty much the prototype for the horror genre.

the story was written by the director's young daughter. he was tasked to come up with a movie with a one-word title like "JAWS" that could be a big hit. so he asked her for ideas and she gave him a lot of the scenes, like the piano eating the student.

You talking the film starring Val Kilmer? Have you seen the documentary on the making of the film? Amazing stuff!
Yup that one. I have not seen the making of, but I am semi aware of the strange shit that happened during filming from like Wikipedia or something.

I believe it was on Netflix, and it is bizarre the shit that happened during the making of this film.

Eraserhead. Watched it because Pixies covered the theme tune. Well, it was an experience.

Naked Lunch. I'd read the book and Junky so I quite enjoyed it but I pity anyone going in blind.

Jacob's Ladder. I had to watch this film so many times before I finally got my head around it.

Possession (1981) by Zulowski. I can't say what genre it is. I think it's a horror film in the truest sense. Apparently Isabel Adjani tried to kill herself after she saw it. She's amazing in it. Gruelling.
 
There's a movie I can't remember the name of that was like from the 80s or late 70s and was about a guy who ends up leading a bunch of people up a mountain to find God or something and was just bizarre as hell. I will try to google it

This is it, I first heard about it from RedLetterMedia, then watched it

Trailer potentially NSFW

Meet the Feebles

It´s just crazy. A bunch of Broadway musical puppets wreaking havoc in the most disgusting and violent way ever imagined. Peter Jackson must have smoked some bomb kush when he made this.

Other weird flicks I have seen is Ichi the Killer and Visitor Q by Takashi Miike and it was like WTF! is this. Not sure if they were good or just repulsive, maybe a bit of both, but the movies sure were strange.
 
Recently I watched a fairly bad sci fi film. It involved a guy that had to oversee an interstellar mission by himself on a giant ship. The corporation he works for gives him a sex android to keep him company and to ensure he does not go insane from boredom. He sexes the robot, raping it repeatedly. Eventually he falls in love with sex android, and unplugs her from the corporate network to allow her to develop her own personality. She develops extreme hatred toward her rapist and abuser. She tries to commit suicide. He risks his life to save her. She saves him in turn. Then they have more sex and live happily ever after I presume.

The moral of the story was 'rape your designer sex slave until it warms up to you'. I suppose.

Reads like a porn version of 2001 Space Odyssey/Her.

Inland Empire by David Lynch.

lol i agree. i actually took a date to this movie. we met up before at the bar next door and she told me she was sick and had never heard of any David Lynch before. last time i ever saw her lol.

Yoko Ono and John Lennon made a lot of cool & controversial movies together. "Fly" is a film featuring only a naked woman and several flies moving around on her (they had smeared honey on her skin). it's pretty cool and interesting how the person becomes a landscape. Warning, NSFW:



Harry Smith is my favorite of the abstract filmmakers, he was also responsible for recording & compiling the Folk Anthology that was issued in the 60's that inspired that whole scene & people like Bob Dylan. i like his "Heaven and Earth Magic", a very long film, with sound, in black and white, of Monty Python-style cut-outs in stop motion, done way before Gilliam's work. a lot of his work is based on kabbalah magic & the tarot and that influence is felt here.



at one point he was going to make a 3 hour long version of "The Wizard of Oz".

Like what the fuck is this.

They couldn't do an adaptation of the book so Cronenberg decided to make a movie about the creation of it instead. It wasn't a film for the casual viewer. You had to know a lot about Burroughs to get what was going on in there.

I always thought Burrough's life was much more interesting than his books. I'd recommend reading Literary Outlaw or The Letters of William Burroughs. They'll give you a real good insight into all the shit he went through.

I thought the best thing about it was seeing the mugwump. That was pretty cool.

Anyway, the strangest movie I saw recently was this sci fi one called Under the skin. It had Scarlett Johanson as an alien going around killing guys. She gets naked in it too so it gets a thumbs up for that

And I saw that as well. It very strange haha
 
Saw 'Mother' recently. Weird movie and it became clear closer to the ending that it was some kind of nightmare. The transistion of different segments just didn't make any sense.

Imaginaerum, it is a really bizarre movie about an old man dying of dementia that goes inside his broken mind to try and retrieve memories. It's not amazing by any means but kept me entertained and it's scored by Nightwish (and directed) so the soundtrack was great.

When I was a kid, I had the biggest crush on Debbie Harry, so Videodrome really screwed me up as a kid

But I would go with Marebito. It's a very odd Japanese horror movie vaguely inspired by Richard Shaver's mythos, but not only the idea

BTW I would also include The Adventures of Buckaroo Banzai because although it's called a "cult classic", when I watched it I was totally confused as to what the movie was trying to be. Was it meant to be taken seriously? Or is it satire? An in-joke? I was just confused instead of entertained. It's one of those movies I just don't "get".

My buddy and I used to rent obscure movies from blockbuster back in the day...

There was one where starring a standard small family (mom, son, father) and their holistic male friend...

The father adopted a psycic rat, and by the end of the film the son had a gay relationship with the holy friend, only for his mother to bring him back to God by an incestuous affair between her and her son.

Meanwhile the father was being ignored and going crazy, the mother wouldn't sleep with him (she was now hot for the son)

He eats the rat!?!?

Becomes a giant rat himself!?!

They (son,mom,friend) kill the human sized husband rat and the son gets back with the gay holy man...the mother is happier for some reason...

Strangest part is despite all of that, it was played very straight, it was surprisingly dull lol

THE END
