Shredder Orpheus

Now, how about a strange, dark, American underground new wave/punk film that pulls heavily from Greek mythology and skateboarding, with a riveting post-punk soundtrack by Roland Barker?

Flash Gordon | Ming & Princess Aura

Flash Gordon

17 June 2019

A fun, camp and cult science film that bombed at the box office when it came out, it’s a hyper-stylised film with fashion and visuals that seem to be more aligned with hedonistic, high-fantasy disco than anything “science” related.

The Keep | Still 1

The Keep

31 January 2019

American director Michael Mann does a supernatural film with Nazis, and although with its flaws, it has amazing atmosphere, visuals and an incredible soundtrack by Tangerine Dream that make this one a cult favourite with a lot of fans, including myself.

So… a camp, stylized 80s musical film about a snooker match of which one of the players is a vampire you say? Billy The Kid and the Baize Green Vampire — the name alone draws up a lot of curiousity and that’s pretty much how I got around to watching it.

Let's Scare Jessica To Death | Masthead

Let’s Scare Jessica To Death

22 May 2016

An early 70’s subtle yet atmospheric psychological horror with added paranoia brought out by the film’s excellent synthesizer-based soundtrack.

Dr Caligari | Still 3

Dr. Caligari & Remote Control

1 June 2015

These two cult films are very stylised 80s films that play a lot of colour and quirky plots but also take inspiration from novelty science fiction films.
