Odin Lagbert dissects Takashi Miike's Audition: a surgical treatise where horror doesn't reside in the needle, but in male complicity.

Caye Casas delivers one of the most uncomfortable, cruel, and unbearable black comedies in the history of Spanish cinema—all thanks to a bad decorating decision.
Kim Hong-seon turns a prison riot at sea into a blood-soaked feast of cheap CGI, recycled Korean clichés, and self-inflicted creative drowning. Claqueta Ácida dissects this cinematic shipwreck with surgical spite.
Lars Damoiseaux serves up a low-budget zombie feast with plastic surgeons more sinister than a 1970s operating room. Cheap blood, unintentional laughs, and a script that reeks of expired formaldehyde.

Nicolas Cage embarks on a blood-soaked rampage in this psychedelic revenge fever dream.
Juanma Bajo Ulloa turns mayhem into art with this psychedelic road movie, where the A/C reeks of cheap whiskey and the celluloid sweats testosterone. A cult gem that time hasn’t been able to tarnish.

*Demian Rugna delivers a rural horror masterpiece about a demonic possession epidemic in the Argentine pampas that shatters every moral boundary in its path.*
*The most scathing, gut-wrenching takedown of *The Green Inferno*—a film that will make you question humanity (and your own gag reflex).*
Rodrigo Cortés delivers a prison thriller that reeks of mothballs and a screenwriting workshop script. Mario Casas shines, but not even he can save this self-help pamphlet with handcuffs.
A scathing takedown of David Cronenberg’s *Eastern Promises*—where the mafia gets the autopsy it deserves.
Stanley Kubrick dissects marriage like a corpse on an autopsy table: with a silver scalpel, candlelight, and a Tom Cruise more lost than a vampire in an IKEA. 159 minutes of icy hypnosis.
