366 Weird Movies may earn commissions from purchases made through product links.

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 (LIMITED RELEASE):

After Blue (Dirty Paradise): ‘s “erotic sci-fi acid western” is doubtlessly one of the weirder things that will grace American theaters this year. Playing at some Alamo Drafthouses and select art-house venues starting today. After Blue (Dirty Paradise) official site.

Crimes of the Future (2022): ‘s latest follows the adventures of a future performance artist who specializes in self-organ transformations, and a shadowy cabal aiming to influence human evolution. The newest flesh arrives today. Crimes of the Future official site.

Neptune Frost (2022): Read Gregory J. Smalley’s review. The afrosurrealist musical arrives in NYC and Dallas this week, expanding to select North American cities through mid-June. Neptune Frost official site.

NEW ON HOME VIDEO:

Big Gold Brick (2022): Read Giles Edwards’ review. In an unconventional move, this weird black comedy flop releases to DVD, but not Blu-ray (it was already on VOD). Buy Big Gold Brick.

“The Islands of Yann Gonzalez”/You and the Night (2013): Read Gregory J. Smalley’s review of You and the Night. Interestingly, the seven short films assembled here are considered the highlights of this Altered Innocence Blu-ray, with the erotic feature film pitched as a bonus item. Buy “The Islands of Yann Gonzalez”/You and the Night.

Love and Saucers (2017): Documentary about a man who claims to have lost his virginity to a space alien, and has been making paintings of his extraterrestrial encounters for more than 50 years. On Blu-ray or VOD. Buy Love and Saucers.

Mother Schmuckers (2021): Read Giles Edwards’ review. The extreme grossout Belgian comedy, previously on VOD, comes to Blu-ray. Buy Mother Schmuckers.

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.

FREE ONLINE WEIRD MOVIES ON TUBI.TV:

Gothic (1986): Read the Canonically Weird entry! Ken Russell‘s laudanum-hallucination account of the night Mary Shelley conceived “Frankenstein,” now listed as “leaving soon” on Tubi. Watch Gothic free on Tubi.tv.

WHAT’S IN THE PIPELINE:

We’re still in the planning stage June 11’s Weird Watch Party—currently, Netflix’s Land of Cards [Tasher Desh] (2013) is the leading screening candidate, but we’ll consider any other suggestions that come in this weekend. Discuss here.

For next week’s reviews, we’re planning on covering at least one major debut—Crimes of the Future (see above)—and one major preview (‘s descent into stop-motion hell Mad God, which we technically already previewed). Mad God hits Shudder June 16, so we’ll be ahead of the curve on that one. 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.
