20 Most Flawed Movie Theaters Ever
The trailer for Lamb , the upcoming insane horror psychodrama from A24 and directed by Valdimar Johannsson, came out yesterday, and if you’re on social media at all, there’s a good chance you’ve seen it, or at least met people in horror if they’re overwhelmed. reactions to it. Which makes sense when you looked at it:
The A24 has some reputation for strikingly atmospheric films that hit a sweet spot – films that tend to be a mixture of art, entertainment, commentary, and heck, something-I-just saw ?! Think of The Lighthouse , The Witch , The Killing of the Sacred Deer, and Midsummer (as well as the coming Green Knight ). Be that as it may, they are all completely unforgettable. This is the power of what we will call the Fucked-Up Film genre: good or bad, they will stay with you, maybe forever.
Sometimes a premise alone can haunt your dreams. Of course, there are films that I have never watched, but which deeply disturbed me. Even reading a plot description or catching a few moments from a trailer can be unsettling. Fucked-Up Films has this power and spans the gamut from art house award winners to trash exploitation. Here are 20 of our … favorites?
(Perhaps unsurprisingly, some famous films were not included here just because they are nowhere to be streamed – for example, Unknown , Faces of Death , Monkey Slaps , Happiness , Lard , Visitor Q “ and other infamous classics. Feel free to supplement our selection with titles from your own somewhat dubious DVD collection.)
