Swiss Army Man Certified Weird Universally known as the Daniel Radcliffe farting corpse movie, Swiss Army Man came out of nowhere to stun unprepared. Ponyo was released in the U. S. and Canada on August 14, 2009 by Walt Disney Pictures and The KennedyMarshall Company, opening at a wide release at 927 theaters. Reviews focused on creating a list of the 366 weirdest movies ever made. WEIRDEST MOVIES OF 2. Merriam Webster anointed surreal the Word of the Year for 2. Old hands like Giorgos Lanthimos and Peter Greenaway were joined by a promising crop of often bloody new blood Daniels, Jim Hosking, and Anna Biller. Pregnant druggies, greasy stranglers, and hooty tooty disco cuties paraded across screens, while castaways rode corpses to freedom and Muppets assisted at the birth of Satanic alien spawn. We had no problem filling out our list of ten weird ones for you to check out, and thats not even counting the revival of 1. Belladonna of Sadness, the softcore psychedelic witchcraft rape revenge anime that was so unseen it basically could count as a new release in 2. Were also leaving off a trio of features seen only at film festivals the Polish mermaid musical The Lure Psychonauts The Forgotten Children, the feature length expansion of the hit Spanish short film Birdboy and Shes Allergic to Cats, the undergroundavant garde romantic comedy filled with grimy video art montages exploring the struggles of an L. A. dog groomer who wants to make a version of Carrie starring cats. Download The New Shrek 2 Movie on this page. Plus the dialogue free pharmaceutical horror Atmo Horro. X which, while not a favorite, beat everything in 2. Any of those films would have made the list had they received actual distribution hopefully, all of them will show up on next years list. As for the choice of movies, I personally pick them using a secret proprietary formula that accounts for cinematic craftsmanship, the level of surrealismweirdness, and the perceived prestige in the weird movie community based on buzz and reader feedback, then I rank them in whatever arbitrary order I momentarily feel like without regard to any of that. As always, we list the films in random orderthe weirdest of orders. The Brand New Testament God is alive and living in Brussels, and hes a jerk. His 1. 0 year old daughter hacks his computer and leaks humanitys death dates, then goes to Earth to write a new Gospel. Literate and genially blasphemous comedy with bizarre touches, like Catherine Deneuve sleeping with a gorilla. Also 6 on our 2. Director Jaco Van Dormael is already represented twice on the List of the 3. Weirdest Movies of All Time. The Lobster Certified Weird Dogtooths Giorgos Lanthimos strikes weird gold again with this utterly absurd parable about a future dystopia where being single is a crime. Those caught without a partner are shipped to a hotel where they either find their match or are transformed into an animal of their choosing in their spare time, they hunt the bachelors and bachelorettes hiding out in the woods. An impressive lineup of Colin Farrell, Rachel Weisz, La Seydoux, and John C. Reilly joined Lanthimos regular Aggeliki Papoulia for his highly anticipated English language dbut featuring donkey assassination and a psychopath killing a dog to test her partners romantic suitability. The style represents one of my favorite types of weird movies one that takes the world we know, changes one or two of the basic rules, and then runs all the way with its premise to a bizarre conclusion dictated by its worlds rejigged logic. Swiss Army Man Certified Weird Universally known as the Daniel Radcliffe farting corpse movie, Swiss Army Man came out of nowhere to stun unprepared viewers at the Sundance Film Festival and earn a theatrical release courtesy of daring distributors A2. The first feature film of music video directors Daniels Dan Kwan and Daniel Scheinert stars Paul Dano as a suicidal castaway who re learns the art of being human thanks to a very useful dead body that comes back to a semblance of life. As the song goes, Rescued, I thought I was rescuedBut youre just a dead dude If thats not enough, theres a powerful homoerotic chemistry between the man and his new dead best friend. Alex Kittle opined that perhaps the weirdest thing of all is the films complete sincerity, which despite all its high concept groundwork makes its audience care deeply about its central characters. The Love Witch A California witch who casts magic spells to seek out her true love finds that her lovers keep dying in this tribute to 1. Technicolor spectacles. Samantha Robinson is enchanting, and this mixture of period camp melodrama, perverse witchcraft rites that could have been lifted from a Jess Franco film, and a bubbling feminist subtext makes this witchs brew the most unexpectedly spellbinding surprise of 2. This also came in at 4 on our overall top 1. Is it weird, or just amazingly uniqueAny movie where a witch kills her lover with passion and a draught of belladonna then leaves him a tribute of a used tampon in a jar of urine is playing by a different set of rules, thats for sure. It wont win mainstream awards, but director Anna Biller received a gratifying level of critical praise for this campy feminist statement dressed in Satanic sexploitation robes. The Neon Demon An ethereally beautiful 1. Los Angeles to become a model shes an immediate hit, but not everyone in town wishes her success. Nicholas Winding Refns slow, surreal and saturated take on the horror genre makes for a beautiful movie, the kind you want to show off to friends, but the Hollywood feeds on beauty message is too shallow to commit to. Beauty isnt the only thing, but it does count for a lot. Watch for the Illuminati catwalk, eyeball eating, a scumbag Keanu Reeves, and a scene in a morgue that sent more than one sensitive soul rushing for the exit. Obviously intended as Elle Fannings breakthrough adult role, although Jena Malone and the cinematography steal the show. Elle will have other chances. High Rise Residents of a self sufficient high rise tower descend into anarchy when power outages and food shortages spark class warfare between the ground floor proles and the penthouse dwellers. Adapted from J. G. Ballards 1. 97. 5 satirical novel. If you can buy into screenwriter Amy Jump and director Ben Wheatleys bold choicessetting the movie in the swinging 1. Ballard fan El Rob Hubbard called it an extremely faithfuland blackly funnyadaptation of the novel. Antibirth A hard living party girl finds herself pregnant, without remembering how. A druggy update of Rosemarys Baby with a bit of surrealism and body horror thrown in. Natasha Lyonne is good, though not likeable, as the aging party girl inflicted with a fetal virus. We first met director Danny Perez with 2. Oddsac, the psychedelic, feature length visual album for freak folkers Animal Collective. Its something of a surprise that he had to wait six years before giving birth to his first feature hopefully, we wont have to wait as long for his next. The Muppet birthing center is a highlight. Eisenstein in Guanajuato Certified weird Imaginary biopic in which famous and flamboyant Soviet director Sergei Eisenstein gives in to his repressed homosexual urges while in Mexico to shoot a film. Peter Greenaway directs like hes been possessed by the spirit of Ken Russell, whos now obsessed with split screens and desperate to come out as gay, while Elmer Bck hops around like a manic concoction of Yakov Smirnoff, Oscar Wilde, and Larry Fine. Its something to behold, particularly when Palomino plants his flag. The Greasy Strangler Certified WeirdA repulsive old man and his son run a rip off disco tour in LA the grease obsessed father is secretly a killer known as the Greasy Strangler, and when his son falls for a nice lady, he feels the need to take her for himself. This sicko comedy is grotesque, off putting, and totally amoral. Its hard to recommend to general audiences, even to those with a taste for the weirder side of cinema but what it does, it does with unapologetic greasy verve. If you want to see a John Waters movie done with Tim and Erics sense of humor, this is your only choice. A good movie to seduce the adventurous college aged movie fan into plunging deeper into the strange possibilities of reality bending cinema.
