Our weekly look at what’s weird in theaters, on hot-off-the-presses DVDs and Blu-rays (and hot off the server VODs), and on more distant horizons…

Trailers of new release movies are generally available at the official site links.

IN THEATERS (WIDE RELEASE):

Thriller – A Cruel Picture (1973): Vinegar Syndrome has released this explicit, one-eyed rape/revenge picture in multiple editions this year—special editions, standard editions—but here’s the most lavish of all, as a separate 4K disc joins the Blu-ray presentation and a second Blu of special features. Buy Thriller – A Cruel Picture. Also available on a solo Blu-ray.

CANONICALLY WEIRD (AND OTHER) REPERTORY SCREENINGS:

This section will no longer be updated regularly. Instead, we direct you to our new “Repertory Cinemas Near You” page. We will continue to mention exceptional events in this space from time to time, however.

WHAT’S IN THE PIPELINE:

Voting proceeds for our next Weird Watch Party, scheduled for Saturday August 6 at 10:15 PM Et. Currently, Modern Vampires on Amazon Prime is headed for a consensus choice, but that could change if you join the discussion, which will remain open through the weekend.

Next week, Giles Edwards will continue rolling out reviews (and interviews) as Fantasia Festival 2022 wraps up its final week. You can definitely look forward to Resurrection (see limited release, above) and Inu-Oh, which won the festival’s Satoshi Kon Prize for Excellence in Animation. Meanwhile, Gregory J. Smalley plans to check out the French black comedy Bloody Oranges. Onward and weirdward!

What are you looking forward to? If you have any weird movie leads that we have overlooked, feel free to leave them in the COMMENTS section.

Nice to see some new faces (uh, icons) at the MFKZ screening last night. Hopefully ya’ll will come back (and help us to determine our next screening).

We will schedule August’s first Weird Watch Party for Saturday, July 23 at 10:15 PM (unless someone requests an afternoon screening instead, in which case, majority decides).

Currently, we can only confidently stream movies from subscription sites Netflix, Amazon Prime, or, (technically) Hulu for our watch parties.

If you’d like to attend our watch party, then the important thing is to RSVP in the comments, where you can make a screening suggestion, or just say you plan to be there. When making your nomination, simply comment with “I think we should watch Weird Movie on Netflix” or “How about Weird Movie 2: Electric Boogaloo on Prime?” You can also pitch in as to whether you prefer the afternoon or evening time slot.

When the party is set to begin we’ll announce it in three places:

• On this site (if you’ve signed up for regular email alerts via the sidebar you’ll also get a notice that way)
• On our Facebook page
• On Twitter

Make your nominations and/or RSVP in the comments below.

Add your input in the comments, please.

This month’s Netflix Weird Watch Party—the underground French anime MFKZ (2017)— starts in fifteen minutes.

You’ll need to be a Netflix member to participate, and have the teleparty extension installed.

IN DEVELOPMENT:

The Cool Tenor (2023?): Fresh off his surreal music biopic Country Gold (review coming soon), prolific Oklahoma auteur Mickey Reece will reportedly work with his biggest budget for his next offering, The Cool Tenor. The brief description makes it sound like a thriller (with Reece’s usual comic touches) set in a “vaguely dystopian feature,” most likely with a jazz motif. Promising quote about the film: “People will have to get cool about some weird shit real quick for me to get into [A-list] festivals.” Read more at Variety.

NEW ON HOME VIDEO:

God Told Me To (1976): Read Pamela de Graff’s List Candidate review. Larry Cohen‘s gonzo mass serial killer thriller unexpectedly gets a deluxe release from Blue Underground, with a 4K Ultra HD disc and a Blu-ray, each hosting a throng of special features. Buy God Told Me To.

Requiem for a Village (1975): A graveyard caretaker sees bodies rising from the grave and recalls old stories from his village. A directorial effort from David Gladwell, Lindsay Anderson‘s preferred editor, this sounds like a discovery that would have fit in perfectly on the “All the Haunts Be Ours” folk horror box set. A short feature supplemented on Blu-ray with a number of Gladwell shorts. Buy Requiem for a Village.

CANONICALLY WEIRD (AND OTHER) REPERTORY SCREENINGS:

This section will no longer be updated regularly. Instead, we direct you to our new “Repertory Cinemas Near You” page. We will continue to mention exceptional events in this space from time to time, however. We are adding a new venue this week: Lexington, Kentucky’s Kentucky Theater, which is hosting a screening of Repo Man (1984) tonight.

FREE ONLINE WEIRD MOVIES ON TUBI.TV:

Enemy (2013): Read the Canonically weird entry! Professor Jake Gyllenhaal meets his exact double in a spider-haunted Toronto. Now listed as “leaving soon.” Watch Enemy free on Tubi.tv.

WHAT’S IN THE PIPELINE:

A busy week at 366 kicks off with our latest Weird Watch Party, MFKZ (2017), on Netflix tomorrow. As always, the link to join will drop here, on Facebook, and on Twitter around 10 PM.

Meanwhile, Giles Edwards will continue his frequent-but-irregularly-scheduled dispatches from Fantasia Festival 2022; in fact, his next review, for Mickey Reece‘s Country Gold (see “In Development,” above), will be out soon. In between those, Gregory J. Smalley will try to fit in one from the reader-suggested review queue, the 2009 low-budget demon-summoning flick Lo. Next week will also see Alfred Eaker pop up from hibernation with a Summer blockbuster appreciation of Elvis.  Onward and weirdward!

IN THEATERS (LIMITED RELEASE):

Earwig (2021):  Lucile Hadzihalilovic‘s first offering since 2015’s Evolution is about a mysterious girl with teeth made of ice, and the man tasked to take care of her. The distributor says it’s releasing this week, but we could not locate any theaters or streaming offers. Keep your eyes out. Earwig official site.

CANONICALLY WEIRD (AND OTHER) REPERTORY SCREENINGS:

This section will no longer be updated regularly. Instead, we direct you to our new “Repertory Cinemas Near You” page. This week we do have a new venue to add: the Arcata Theater Lounge in Arcata, CA, who will be screening Twelve Monkeys (1995) this Wednesday, July 20; later in the month they’ll bring in Fight Club (1999), and in early August they’ll put up It’s Such a Beautiful Day (2011). Offbeat selections for a theater that’s not in a major metro area (it is a college town, though).

FREE ONLINE WEIRD MOVIES ON TUBI.TV:

Under the Skin (2013): Read the Canonical entry! Scarlett Johansson is an alien who uses her sex appeal to hunt men for a bizarre ritual, but picks up the wrong guy (it isn’t what you think). Now listed as “leaving soon.” Watch Under the Skin free on Tubi.

WHAT’S IN THE PIPELINE:

Our Weird Watch Party for July 23 will likely be the (Japanese-style) French animation MFKZ (2017) on Netflix. We’ll leave the discussion up through the weekend before deciding, though.

All next week (and for the next three weeks), Giles Edwards will be filing unscheduled (but likely frequent, if past years are any indication) reports from the 2022 edition of the Fantasia Film Festival. In fact, we should have his first dispatch up later today. In addition to that, Gregory J. Smalley plans on digesting Peter Strickland‘s latest, Flux Gourmet (currently in theaters and on VOD) for your reading pleasure. Onward and weirdward!
