IrreversibleIrreversible
Buy new: $18.49 / Used from: $8.95
The most artistic "rape" film ever made. You'll stare at the credits lost in thought for a few good minutes afterwards.
Audition (Uncut Special Edition)Audition (Uncut Special Edition)
Buy used from: $6.40
Begins like a hitchcock drama, does a swan dive into the stuff of nightmares, and ends like a Guinea Pig movie. This is another one that will F-ck with your head pretty severely, especially if you aren't accustomed to seeing people being tortured.
Sympathy for Mr. VengeanceSympathy for Mr. Vengeance
Buy new: $17.99 / Used from: $5.48
A revenge drama with an excellent sense of irony and plenty of gore, even for this type of film. Demonstrates the inverse relationship between wealth and morality.
Cannibal HolocaustCannibal Holocaust
Buy new: $26.99 / Used from: $13.49
One of the most gruesome movies ever made. The definitive Italian Exploitation film experience, in my opinion. A scathing criticism of sensationalist media.
Natural Born KillersNatural Born Killers
Buy used from: $0.47
The best thing Stone or Tarantino have ever done. Another precise satire of the mainstream media.
Jacob's LadderJacob's Ladder
Buy new: $8.49 / Used from: $2.16
If David Cronenberg had directed Forrest Gump, the result would be something like this. Parts of it actually scared me.
High Tension (Unrated Widescreen Edition)High Tension (Unrated Widescreen Edition)
Buy new: $10.49 / Used from: $1.95
Forget Friday the 13th, Last House on the Left, and The Texas Chainsaw Massacre. Here, the slasher formula has been utterly perfected.
Hostel (Director's Cut)Hostel (Director's Cut)
Buy new: $15.49 / Used from: $2.92
Severely underrated. It's sociopolitical satire mixed with classic horror homages and loads of sex and gore works perfectly.
