The funniest, sexiest and most stylish Dracula film ever! Made by Andy Warhol's sidekick, Blood for Dracula follows the tortured, vegetarian Count as he and his menacing manservant set forth for Italy in the early 19th century, complete with coffin on roof-rack, searching for juicy Catholic virgins. Visually stunning and deliciously deadpan. find out more...

It's sick, it's weird, it's spooky, but it's compulsive viewing. Forget Brat Packs and Rambo, this is the dark side to America. Beneath the squeaky clean surface lurk neuroses and perversions, degradation and despair. Brilliantly done, this film will haunt you. find out more...

Brian's just a normal guy until he meets Elmer, a foul, slimy, phallic-shaped creature who can live in a hole in the back of your neck and make everything seem really groovy, like you strayed from a '60s acid movie. Basically he feeds you an addictive narcotic, which you rather like, in exchange for your help in obtaining his food, human brains. Disquieting black humour!! Disgusting!! find out more...

The man that brought you the funny but stomach-churning 'Bad Taste' and the epic 'Lord of the Rings' trilogy made another film of gross proportions! Lionel lives with his nagging mother, but when she is bitten by a vicious Sumatran Rat monkey, she degenerates into a flesh eating zombie who has to be kept in the cellar.

James and Catherine have an open relationship, proudly regaling each other with the ice-cold details of their latest extra-marital exploits, but a head-on crash involving Holly Hunter provides the catalyst for James's erotic obsession with auto accidents and, after hooking up with Vaughan, who re-stages celebrity car crashes, and his lover, who wears l find out more...

The highly eccentric and totally brilliant Alexandro Jodorowsky doesn't make films like anybody else. Directed, written by and starring the man himself "El Topo" is a violent, surreal, quasi-religious Western, if that makes sense (which like the film it doesn't). AJ plays the nomadic lone gunslinger of the title, mostly shooting people for the first half, before being reincarnated as the comedian-cum-holyman protector of a community of deformed outcasts. No doubt some would attempt to read all s find out more...

The most perverse Frankenstein flick ever. While the Baron's sister/wife gives the village stud a good going over in her boudoir, the man himself is carving up the locals to create two perfect zombies to spawn a master race. Incest, necrophilia and yards of technicolour entrails. Stomach-churning! find out more...
