BLUE VELVET (1986)

Certification18 Our Rating

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...

BRAIN DAMAGE (1987)

Certification18 Our Rating

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...

BRAINDEAD (1992)

Certification18 Our Rating

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. A slapstick comedy with blood and guts instead of custard pies. Horrific fun. find out more...
