The films

WATCHobscure

Possum

A disgraced puppeteer returns to his childhood home carrying a bag he cannot get rid of.

WATCHcult

Huesera: The Bone Woman

Mexican, and the best pregnancy horror since Rosemary's Baby. The joint-cracking sound design is the thing.

WATCHcult

Night of the Bloody Apes

A luchadora, a heart transplant from a gorilla, and real open-heart surgery footage spliced in.

WATCHcult

Spring

A love story that happens to involve an immortal woman whose body is not stable. Benson and Moorhead again.

WATCHcult

Dumplings

An ageing actress buys rejuvenating dumplings from a woman in a housing estate. You know what is in them.

WATCHcult

The Void

Practical effects made on Kickstarter money, doing an unembarrassed Carpenter impression.

WATCHcult

Birth/Rebirth

A morgue technician and a grieving mother reinventing Frankenstein without any of the theatrics.

WATCHcult

The Perfection

Swerves three times and mostly earns them. Best watched knowing nothing at all.

WATCHcult

Contamination

An Alien knock-off with exploding chests and a Goblin score doing heavy lifting throughout.

WATCHcult

The Untamed

A Mexican film in which a creature from a crashed meteorite provides pleasure and death in equal measure.

cult

Cam

A camgirl finds an identical copy of herself has taken over her account and locked her out.

WATCHcult

Matango

Toho's mushroom people, made by the Godzilla team, and it is far bleaker than its reputation.

WATCHcult

Trouble Every Day

Claire Denis made a vampire film with no vampires, and it was booed at Cannes.

WATCHcult

Uzumaki

A town becomes obsessed with spirals. Junji Ito adapted before his manga had finished.

WATCHcult

Xtro

A British alien-abduction film so incoherent and disturbing it has never been fully explained, by anyone, including its director.

WATCHknown

The Stuff

A white dessert oozing from the ground becomes a national craze, and it is eating the people who eat it.

WATCHknown

Hatching

A Finnish girl raises a monster from an egg, and it is about a mother's Instagram-perfect lie.

WATCHknown

Society

A Beverly Hills teenager suspects his family are not human. The last twenty minutes prove it, wetly.

WATCHknown

Cronos

Del Toro's first film, and the vampire is a grandfather trying to stay with his granddaughter.

WATCHknown

Flesh for Frankenstein

Shot in 3D with Udo Kier and a spleen. Warhol's name on it, Paul Morrissey's film.

WATCHknown

May

A lonely young woman decides that if she cannot find a whole person to love, she will assemble one.

WATCHknown

Possessor

Brandon Cronenberg working the family seam without embarrassment. The practical effects are appalling in the right way.

WATCHknown

Basket Case

A young man carries his surgically-separated deformed twin in a wicker basket, and they are taking revenge.

WATCHknown

Rabid

Cronenberg's second feature, with an experimental skin graft, a stinger in an armpit, and a plague across Montreal.

WATCHknown

Tetsuo: The Iron Man

67 minutes of black and white industrial noise made over eighteen months by a crew that mostly quit.

WATCHknown

From Beyond

Stuart Gordon and Jeffrey Combs reunite after Re-Animator for a Lovecraft story about a machine that reveals what is always there.

WATCHknown

Inside

The most extreme film on this site. A pregnant woman, her house, and a woman with scissors.

WATCHknown

Men

Alex Garland being about as subtle as a church door. The final sequence is remarkable regardless.

WATCHknown

Shivers

Publicly funded, debated in the Canadian parliament, and filmed with complete clinical calm.

WATCHknown

The Brood

Cronenberg's divorce, filmed. The angriest thing he ever made and he has said so.

WATCHknown

Overlord

Nazi zombies with a real budget and a unusually good first act. Better than the premise deserves.

WATCHknown

Infinity Pool

Brandon Cronenberg again. Wealthy tourists, a legal loophole and Mia Goth having a wonderful time.

WATCHknown

The Autopsy of Jane Doe

Two coroners, one body, one basement. A masterclass in escalating a single location.

WATCHknown

Possession

A divorce film with a tentacle in it. Adjani's U-Bahn scene is the most extreme acting on this site.

WATCHknown

Bug

William Friedkin directing a two-hander in a motel room about shared delusion, and it is not what the trailer sold.

WATCHknown

Malignant

James Wan spending studio money on something deranged. The third act is one of the great swerves.
