Freaky films and why we freakin’ love ’em, by Linsay McCulloch and Garry Mulholland

    Marie Antoinette

    Sex and cake and rock'n'roll in Sofia Coppola's post-punk take on the pleasures and perils of being a queen in18th century France. Gorgeous to look at, and another of Kirsten Dunst's masterful performances, ably supported by almost everyone you can think of. Head off to watch this immediately.

    Bug (2006)

    What's bugging them? Mostly alone in a  desert motel room, Ashley Judd and Michael Shannon fall headlong into madness and paranoia. Are they under surveillance? Are insects living under their skin? Is any of it real? And where did that microscope come from?  A true one-off from director William Friedkin.

    The Appointment

    A ripe slice of British 80s horror - daddies, daughters, dogs, driving and a date with destiny. Don't miss it.

    Riders of Justice

    Mads Mikkelsen (army guy, taciturn and traumatised) meets three socially-awkward nerds (equally traumatised but far from taciturn) who persuade him they can help him get revenge for the death of his wife. Action/comedy/all the feels ensue.

    I Am a Fugitive From a Chain Gang

    "The bleakest film ever made" according to one critic. And he wasn't wrong. Wrongly accused of robbery, Jim Allen (Paul Muni) endures degradation and violence on a depression-era Southern chain gang. Escape offers brief hope but it can't last... Made in 1932 and still packing an enormous and brutal punch to the gut almost 100 years later.

    Sisters (1973)

    Director Brian de Palma is known for his understated pastoral films, evoking emotion through silence and the quiet passing of time  ....ha ha, just kidding, his films are crazy and this one's even more bonkers than the rest.  Margot Kidder brings her usual greatness playing twins Dominique and Danielle, and everyone else is fab too. There's copious nods to Hitchcock, maybe the best use of split-screen anywhere in cinema and lashings of 1970s movie splatter. One for all the family.

    Suddenly Last Summer

    It's got Elizabeth Taylor at her luminous best! It's got Katherine Hepburn being all hysterical!  Montgomery Clift referees, while providing cutting-edge mental health treatment (aka lobotomy) from the worst mental hospital in the world. Add in the  New Orleans lush sweatiness, and the secret of what exactly happened to Katherine's son Sebastian last summer (this is one of those films where actors say the title A LOT), and you have this ripe but delicious slice of Southern gothic. This one is a winner all year round.

    A Question of Silence

    Three women, strangers to each other, wordlessly agree to murder a man. Are they insane, or is a silent refusal to explain  a rational response when no-one is listening anyway? Marleen Gorris's 1982 Dutch feminist classic is a truly wonderful film. Pass it on.
