"... a triumph of provocative film-making... using the lens of alternative relationships to expose the difficulty of dating in the 21st century..."--Pete Trbovich on "The Feeling That the Time for Doing Something Has Passed," the 4th entry in the "Pete's Perverted Pix" series

The Spanish adult animation "Decorado" (2025) "combines two seemingly out of place aesthetics--cute cartoons and psychodrama--but also uses an Orwellian dystopia as camouflage to discuss themes that are far more existential in nature."--Michael Diamades 366weirdmovies.com/apocrypha-ca...

"Explore the labyrinths of the unconscious in this ambiguous and terrifying psychological horror."--Gregory J. Smalley

"While 'The Degenerate' doesn’t go into full detail on every film, it makes for a solid introduction for anyone unfamiliar with [Andy] Milligan’s work, and may be more enjoyable than any of his actual movies..."--Enar Clarke on "The Degenerate: The Life and Films of Andy Milligan" (2025)

"'Secretary' may not be the weirdest depiction of the leather lover in the wild, but it is likely to be the most respectful and heart-warming one for many decades yet."--Pete Trbovich (@penguin-pete.bsky.social) on "Secretary" (2002), part of his "Pete's Perverted Pix" series

"Tragedy of Man" comes with my highest recommendation, especially for animation fans.

"...while 'Helter Skelter' is a beautifully crafted film, a certain sameness creeps in as the story seems to be building toward something cataclysmic, but never quite gets there."--Shane Wilson

"...two lessons to take away from any effort to dramatize the story of Faust: don’t sell your soul to the devil, and go big or go home. In this face-off, the edge goes to the 100-year-old silent film. It’s the one with the ambition to live up to the legend."--Shane Wilson (@shanewilson.bsky.social)

"A lone man and a pink shape-shifting parasite wander and reminisce in the aftermath of the Philadelphia Experiment... 'Interface' has a dreamy vibe from start to finish, uncanny and uneasy in the vein of David Lynch‘s works."--Michael Diamades 366weirdmovies.com/apocrypha-ca...

"Even though the ending provides a concrete answer for Gong’s surreal experiences, a profound uneasiness still lingers even after the outing’s over."--Enar Clarke on "Splendid Outing" (1978) 366weirdmovies.com/capsule-sple...

"He seems at times a childlike soul... He is also capable of the grossest barbarities, like the infamous act of bestiality mentioned whenever this movie is discussed."--Michael Diamedes on the rare and frequently-banned "Vase de Noces" (1974). The "Beware" rating on this one is no joke.

"...down-to-Earth dramedy meets high theological physics, with motorcade bunnies, a lusty ur-Mother, and a game show God amongst its otherworldly revelations."--Giles Edwards (@gilesforyou) on "Tony Odyssey" (2025) 366weirdmovies.com/slamdance-fi...

"...a simple but smart little piece of sci-fi horror, a worthy companion piece to other low-budget successes like 'Coherence' that pack a lot of ideas into a compact space."--Shane Wilson (@shanewilson.bsky.social) on Sweden's "LFO" (2013)

On February 15, 2003 (26 years after it was made), "Death Bed: The Bed That Eats" got it's theatrical premiere at San Francisco Indiefest. Today's Canonically Weird movie!

"Nothing is impossible in reality, but a build-up of eerie coincidences and uncanny repetitions create the slightly sinister atmosphere of a nightmare."--Enar Clarke on 'Traumnovelle' (2024) (based on the same source novel as 'Eyes Wide Shut') 366weirdmovies.com/capsule-trau...

"If you’re ever bemoaning the glut of seasonally themed entertainment, just remember that every show added to the marketplace is one more thing you could watch instead of this. Merry Christmas."--Shane "Grinch" Wilson (@shanewilson.bsky.social)

"No one in 'Citizen Dog' zigs when they could zag, and strangeness and silliness are very much the norm."--Shane Wilson (@shanewilson.bsky.social) on "Citizen Dog" (2004). Apocryphally weird (and very rare)!

"Christians wary of a blasphemous 'Jesus horror film' need not fear this mediocrity; worshipers at the altar of cinema, on the other hand, may call it sacrilege. I’d rather get a splinter in my finger than watch 'The Carpenter’s Son' again."--Gregory J. Smalley 366weirdmovies.com/capsule-the-...

Debuting on this day in 1989: Stephen Sayadian's certifiably insane softcore surrealist spectacle "Dr. Caligari." Dec. 1st's Canonically Weird selection.

Happy 52nd birthday, Nimrod Antal! "Kontroll," which follows ticket-enforcer Bulcsú as he literally navigates the underworld, mysteriously unable to leave the Budapest subway system, is our Canonically Weird movie for Nov. 30.

Happy Thanksgiving! Sorry about the nightmares. Blame @shanewilson.bsky.social. 366weirdmovies.com/apocrypha-ca...

Nov. 23 is Giorgoba, the Orthodox holy day celebrating the martyrdom of St. George, patron saint of Georgia. It's also the Canonically Weird day celebrating Sergei Parajanov's "The Legend of Suram Fortress." If you liked "Color of Pomegranates," you should definitely check out this sister film.

On this day in 2010, the Criterion Collection released Nobuhiko Obayashi's "House" ("Hausu"), bringing what was then little-known underground Japanese cult film to a wide audience. Schoolgirl-eating pianos would never be the same.

On this day in 1984, "The Company of Wolves" debuted at the Toronto International Film Festival.

"The meandering pace, repetitions, and lack of clear narrative may be off-putting to some viewers, but the films of the Brothers Quay have always been more about the experience of seeing than storytelling. For fans, this one is definitely a long-anticipated must-see."--Enar Clarke

"Multiple forms of animation and visual styles share space in a bouillabaisse of dread and visual overstimulation... sometimes eclectic, often cacophonous, and frequently intriguing."--Shane Wilson (@shanewilson.bsky.social) on "We Are the Strange" (2007) 366weirdmovies.com/63-we-are-th...
