IN THEATERS (LIMITED RELEASE):

Possum (2018): A puppeteer returns home to face his stepfather and secrets from his past. The script is from a short story the director originally wrote for an anthology exploring Freud’s notion of the uncanny. Unfortunately, Possum appears to be playing in the U.K. only, for the time being. Possum official site.

12 Monkeys [Twelve Monkeys] (1995): Read the Certified Weird review! We’ve been waiting on Arrow’s “Collector’s Edition” Blu-ray for a while; it is newly restored, although there seems to be little else on offer that’s new besides the commemorative booklet available on first pressing only. Buy 12 Monkeys.

2001: A Space Odyssey (1968): Read the Certified Weird review! This 50th anniversary release is a spectacular: the 4K restoration, on three Blu-rays (one housing the 4K version, another with a standard HD transfer of the film, and a third for extra features), a booklet, postcards, and more. We don’t have the hardware capable of doing this release justice, but if you have a 4K player and a huge screen HD TV and audiophile sound system, there’s hardly a worthier film to play on it. Buy 2001: A Space Odyssey [4K].

Mandy (2018): Read Giles Edwards’ List Candidate review! Cool Panos Cosmatos and hot Nicolas Cage team up for the revenge-movie-on-acid hit of the year; if you missed it in theaters, now’s your chance to see the movie all your weirdo friends have been gushing about. On DVD, Blu-ray, and VOD. Buy Mandy.

Metropolis (2001): A Japanese detective and his nephew search for a criminal scientist in the city of Metropolis, and discover instead a naive robot intended for use as a weapon of mass destruction. Inspired (loosely) by the 1927 classic this is one of the best looking animes of all time: Fritz Lang‘s city remade glorious shades of neon. A steelbook DVD/Blu-ray combo from Mill Creek. Buy Metropolis.

FILM FESTIVALS – Ithaca Fantastik Fest (Ithaca, NY,  10/26-11/4):

For a film festival that’s held in the middle of nowhere—apologies to Cornell grads if that sounds like a slight—Ithaka Fantastik has assembled a fine slate of arty genre films. There are no significant debuting films; most of the lineup is second-runs from Fantasia or Fantastic Fest (with a few from Sundance and even Cannes sprinkled in). This year’s roster includes Cam; Samuel Benchetrit’s French black comedy about a man who thinks he’s turning into the titular Dog; a feature-length expansion of one of our previous Saturday Short picks, “Prospect“; the insane “geki-mation” of Violence Voyager; Aaron Schimberg‘s Freaks “update,” Chained for Life; Portugal’s surreal soccer-based satire Diamantino; the supernatural police procedural Luz; Joel Potrykus‘ filmed Pac-Man marathon Relaxer; the apocalyptic Starfish; Seven Stages to Achieve Eternal Bliss By Passing Through the Gateway Chosen By the Holy Storsh, presumptive front-runner for 2018’s “longest title in a cult comedy “award; New Zealand’s comic Mega Time Squad. Even if there’s nothing new or exclusive, it’s a late-season treat for locals, and serves as a kind of “best of” compilation of the year’s oddball festival offerings. And this year only, don’t miss a special Halloween screening of The Tingler, in PerceptoVision!

NEW ON HOME VIDEO:

Night of the Demons (1988): Read our review. This ridiculously absurd haunted house supernatural slasher makes perfect Halloween fare. Now out in a newly restored, limited edition steelbook Blu-ray with a new commentary track from the director and cast, with the previous two commentary tracks carried over along with a host of other extras—Citizen Kane didn’t get this kind of Blu-ray treatment. Buy Night of the Demons.

Sorry to Bother You (2018): Read our List Candidate review! Directed by rapper Boots Riley from way out of left field, Sorry is an absurdist racial satire set in the ultracapitalist world of telemarketing. Already out on VOD, it’s now on DVD and Blu-ray, with a commentary by Riley and other treats. Buy Sorry To Bother You.

IN THEATERS (LIMITED RELEASE):

Caniba (2017): An experimental documentary about notorious cannibal Issei Sagawa (told largely in his own words). We should have a review of this relatively soon. Caniba official site.

An Evening with Beverly Luff Linn (2018): An unhappily married woman (Aubrey Plaza) attends a performance put on by a man from her past entitled “An Evening With Beverly Luff Linn.” Greasy Jim Hosking tries to make a romantic comedy, without sacrificing his absurdist tendencies. If you can’t find it in theaters, it’s being released simultaneously on-demand. An Evening with Beverly Luff Lin official site.

Thunder Road (20187): Dramatic comedy about a cop who tries to rebuild his life after his mother’s death shocks him. Actually, it doesn’t look very weird; we feel compelled to mention it because we previously featured the awkward comic short (involving the main character’s karaoke eulogy) from which it was expanded. Thunder Road Facebook page.

NEW ON HOME VIDEO:

“Mamoru Hosoda Movie Collection: The Girl Who Leapt Through Time (2006)/ Summer Wars (2009) / Wolf Children (2012) / The Boy and the Beast (2015)“: The only one of Hosoda‘s movies we’ve reviewed is the virtual reality feature Summer Wars. By reputation, at least, the others are about the same: imaginative fantasies that come oh-so-close to turning into weird movies, but fall just short. This set contains four Blu-rays, all with supplemental interviews. Buy “Mamoru Hosoda Movie Collection”.

Twelve Monkeys (1995): Read the Certified Weird entry! Arrow Video’s “collector’s edition” release of Terry Gilliam‘s time-travel mindbender is remastered; all special features seem to be the same as previous releases, except that the first pressing of this one includes a commemorative booklet.

FILM FESTIVALS – New York Film Festival (New York City, NY, Sep.28 – Oct 14):

We’re a little late in reporting on the NYFF. There are not a lot of debuts here, and a number of films overlap with Sitges (covered in a bit more detail below). Notable weird-ish U.S. premieres include Giorgos Lanthimos‘ period piece, The Favourite, and Jean-Luc Godard’s The Image Book. 

New York Film Festival home page.

FILM FESTIVALS – Sitges Film Festival (Sitges, Spain, Oct. 4 – 14):

Although Sitges always offers an excellent slate of fantastic films, they’re more into quantity than exclusivity. We’ve seen many of the choicest offerings— France’s All the Gods in the Sky; Jim Hosking‘s An Evening with Beverly Luff Linn; Quentin Dupieux ‘s Keep an Eye Out; the documentary Blue Velvet Revisited; Cam, Gaspar Noé‘s LSD orgy Climax; the surreal soccer flick Diamantino and Italian arthouse weirdness Happy as Lazzaro (both also at the New York Film Festival this week); the anthology The Field Guide to Evil; Agnieszka Smoczynska‘s amneisac Fugue; Guy Maddin and Evan Johnson Vertigo tribute, The Green Fog; Peter Strickland’s fashion horror In Fabric; the Czech stop-motion Laika; the black metal doc Lords of Chaos; Luz; Mandy; the telepathy horror Murder Me, Monster; Masaaki Yuasa‘s Night is Short, Walk on Girl; Nina Paley‘s sacrilegious animation Seder-Masochism; Top Knot Detective, the 2017 mockumentary about a fake Japanese TV show; Under the Silver Lake; and the Suspiria remake—debuting at other film festivals (and some have even already had theatrical releases). This makes Sitges a kind of “best of” 2018 festival. Among the many revivals are screenings of the restored versions of 2001: A Space Odyssey on Oct. 13th and Hour of the Wolf  on Oct. 6. Skipping those, here are a couple of notable films and long shots we noticed:

• 10 Years Thailand – Four Thai directors, including Apichatpong Weerasethakul, imagine the future in this omnibus film screening on 10/8.
  
• Luciferina – A novice nun learns the secret behind her psychic powers. Oct. 10.

IN DEVELOPMENT:

“Pan’s Labyrinth: The Labyrinth of the Faun” (Jul 2019): Not a movie but a novelization of the Certified Weird classic, co-authored by Guillermo del Toro and fantasy author Cornelia Funke and illustrated by Allen Williams. Del Toro’s active participation ensures it will be canonical. Announced at the Bookseller.

BOOKS:

“True Indie: Life and Death in Filmmaking”: Three-time Certified Weird director Don Coscarelli reflects on his 30+ years as an independent filmmaker. Coscarelli is touring heavily to promote the book, often in conjunction with screenings of his cult films Phantasm or Bubba Ho-Tep, so be on the lookout for a book signing in your town (and check our repertory screenings list below). Buy “True Indie: Life and Death in Filmmaking.”

NEW ON HOME VIDEO:

Housewife (2017): A housewife with a disturbed past gets sucked into a cult called “the Umbrella of Love & Mind.” The sophomore film from Turkish horror upstart Can Evrenol, folks are using the “w word” to describe it. DVD or VOD. Buy Housewife.

FILM FESTIVALS – Beyond Fest (Los Angeles, 9/26-10/9):

LA’s Beyond Fest features revivals of classic genre fare (which we’ve listed in our “repertory screenings” section) mixed in with recent hits from other festivals like Anna and the Apocalypse, Jim Hosking‘s An Evening with Beverly Luff Linn, and Luz. Best of all, many screenings are free. Although they rarely land debuts, this year they do have one item of some interest:

• Best F(r)iends Vol. 2 – Tommy Wiseau and Greg Sestero reunite for a followup to The Room; Vol. 2 is said to be weirder than last year’s Vol. 1 (which we confess we still haven’t seen). The world debut is tonight, Friday 9/28, at 7:30 PST, so it’s probably too late to get out there, but we’ll continue keeping an eye out for it.
  

Beyond Fest homepage.

NEW ON HOME VIDEO:

The Baby (1973): Read our review. This drive-in style item about an adult baby kept as a pet is more popular with audiences then it was with us; thus, Arrow Video’s super-deluxe Blu-ray special edition with a commentary track and numerous featurettes. Buy The Baby.

Exorcist II: The Heretic (1977): Read our review. Trust the unpredictable John Boorman to make a truly absurd and deranged sequel to the original horror classic; Shout! Factory gives it a super-duper 2 Blu-ray release, with director’s and theatrical cuts each getting their own commentary tracks (from Boorman and “The Projection Booth”‘s Mike White, respectively). Buy Exorcist II: The Heretic.

Molly (2017): A pit-fighting gang hunts a girl with mysterious powers in a post-apocalytptic world. Probably a stretch for “weird,” but it’s piling up “good-considering-the-budget” reviews, and we have to admit we’re intrigued. It skipped theaters for a DVD/Blu-ray/VOD debut. Buy Molly.

Scarlet Diva (2000): Asia (daughter of Dario) Argento directs and stars as herself in this tawdry, self-indulgent, but “weirdly fascinating” (The New York Times) biopic about a lonely Italian actresses and her druggy sex life. There’s no longer any doubt that the rapist producer in the film is Harvey Weinstein, making this Blu-ray (with two Argento commentary tracks, from 2002 and 2018) a timely item. Buy Scarlet Diva.

Texas Chainsaw Massacre: The Next Generation (1994): Reboot/remake/rehash of the 1974 horror classic, but with Leatherface now a transvestite, and Illuminati connections. It has a poor reputation even among horror-comedy fans, but one Amazon reviewer does say it’s “soo damned weird that I find myself watching it every so often and enjoying it every time.” New to Blu-ray. Buy Texas Chainsaw Massacre: The Next Generation.

Welcome to the Dollhouse (1995): Black, black comedy about an obnoxious, bullied 7th grade girl. It’s in our reader-suggested review queue, and now on Blu-ray, too. Buy Welcome to the Dollhouse.

PODCASTS:

“What’s the Frequency?”: A fully-voiced “psychedelic noir” AM-radio-style audio drama set in 1940s Los Angeles, with new episodes once or twice a month. Creator James Oliva is a fan of ours, so we’re returning the favor. We recommend listening at podchaser, but you have lots of options to catch it. “What’s the Frequency? blog (with links and transcripts).
