Our weekly look at what’s weird in theaters, on hot-off-the-presses DVDs, and on more distant horizons…
Trailers of new release movies are generally available on the official site links.
IN THEATERS (LIMITED RELEASE):
Holy Motors: A mysterious man named Monsieur Oscar drives through Paris one night, cycling through various personas. From too-infrequently seen director Leos Carax, and with an exciting cast mixing fresh faces with weird movie vets: Denis Lavant, Edith Scob, Michel Piccoli, Eva Mendes… Holy Motors Facebook page.
NEW ON DVD:
Excision (2012): Horror film about a spooky, morbid teen girl who decides to lose her virginity and then, per the synopsis, “the weirdness really begins.” Check out the cast list: Traci Lords, John Waters, Malcolm McDowell, Ray Wise… Buy Excision
Nina Conti: Her Master’s Voice (2012): This strikes us as an odd documentary subject: a master British ventriloquist takes the dummy of her dead mentor to “Venthaven,” a “graveyard for puppets of dead ventriloquists” in Kentucky. Christopher Campbell of Movies.com thought it was “kind of weird.” Buy Nina Conti: Her Master’s Voice
Nobody Else But You [Poupoupido] (2011): A crime writer investigates the cold case death of a local model who believed herself to be the reincarnation of Marilyn Monroe. This French thriller may be a stretch for “weird,” but we’re encouraged that The Hollywood Reporter described it as “A hint of Twin Peaks and a large helping of the Coen Brothers!” Buy Nobody Else But You 
Orlok the Vampire (1922): Somebody took F.W. Murnau’s silent vampire classic Nosfeatu and restored it—in 3D. Seriously, this is Nosferatu in 3D. Red-blue glasses included. Buy Orlok The Vampire
FREE (LEGITIMATE RELEASE) MOVIES ON YOUTUBE:
Dark Places (2005): A drug-addicted prostitute accidentally kills a john and then seeks shelter in a house with two sadists. The reality bends, at least as much as the tiny budget will allow. Watch Dark Places free on YouTube.
