Titane (2021) — For car fetishists and David Cronenberg lovers and possibly no one else (and if you like it, also watch Crash!) Tetsuo the Iron Man (1989) — Short and relentless little stop motion movie. I made the critical mistake of eating rice during my first watch (do not do this!!!) Knife + Heart (2018) — neo-giallo + just so so good
the unflinching type of depravity you expect to see in 480p on effedupmovies.com, not in a chain theatre, yet made me want to be much kinder to myself watch if you like: cronenberg, troma, having physical reactions to art, being a gorgeous woman in a tiny glittery dress i also recommend fargeat’s other film revenge (2017) which is similarly gnarly.. one thing i love about her style is when her brain cooks up something uniquely gruesome she wants her audience to see every bit of it, not a single cut away in either movie
Julia Ducournau really making some freak ass little movies! I went into this one blind when it came out and there are scenes that still stick with me, incredible performances, premise, setting, vibe. A really viscerally full movie with lots to um, chew on. Won’t be watching again.
The film that kick started the cannibal pop-culture craze. A perfect horror film. Also shout out to Brand New Cherry Flavour, the unhinged Netflix body horror magical realism show that I never see anyone talk about. It’s mad and I loved it.
