Slashdance (1989)

No trailer available, so this will have to do. Epically bad late 80's slasher but somehow manages to be watchable while drunk.



Directed by James Shyman

Starring Cindy Ferda, James Carroll Jordan and John Bluto.

Terror on Tape (1983)

Terror On Tape was a 1983 release that consisted of various clips of horror movies like The Slayer, Nightmare City and Deadly Spawn among others, hosted by B-Movie star Cameron Mitchell playing a video store clerk who shows gory scenes to his customers. It's all a bit daft and moronic, but a lot of fun. Here's a short excerpt:

Society (1989)

Directed by Brian Yuzna. Starring Billy Warlock. IMDB Yuzna's surrealistic film is one of the best "Rich People Are Actually Monsters" movies out there.

I still have no idea what he was thinking during the truly bizarre last half hour of the movie but it's memorable and entertaining all the same.

Yuzna is probably more famous as being the producer of Re-Animator but I actually like the ones he directed, including 2005's "Beneath Still Waters" which got universally panned by the horror community. His stuff is so singularly weird and atmospheric, even if the plots are kind of whacked. A little like Argento if you think about it.

The Day of the Locust (1975)

Directed by John Schlesinger.

Starring Karen Black, Donald Sutherland, Burgess Meredith and William Atherton.

IMDB

A truly bizarre and somewhat disturbing film, surprisingly a product of mainstream Hollywood.

Some will find this movie (and the trailer) a tad slow but the payoff is worth it.

The ending is as unforgettable as it is brutal.
