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):
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!
