What we've done this past week:
A fairly backwards review of the classic
MEMENTO.
Pamela uncovers the "lost" giallo
THE HOUSE WITH LAUGHING WINDOWS: "...overall this gory film demands attention with its curious plot, steady, brooding pace, and consistently suspenseful, creepy feel."
ELEVATOR MOVIE is officially inducted as one of the weirdest movies ever made: "By mixing Sartre’s “No Exit” with an ultra-minimalist riff on Buñuel’s
The Exterminating Angel, garnished with large dollops of fantastical sexual depravity and a pinch of body horror, writer/director/star Zeb Haradon created one of the weirder underground movies of recent years."
Alfred covers another B-Western, the Tom Mix silent oater
THE LAST TRAIL.
And guest reviewer Alex Kittle of Film Forager gives us the skinny on the recently rediscovered Japanese midnight classic
HAUSU: "'Weird' doesn’t even begin to describe this movie. A floating head, a ravenous piano, sporadic animation, a laughing watermelon, a dancing skeleton, a glowing cat, gusts of wind that only affect one person, a host of aggressive, mobile objects, and a group of girls who REFUSE to acknowledge the weirdness: it defies explanation, really."
