Suburbicon (2017)


As a 1950s suburban community self-destructs, a home invasion has sinister consequences for one seemingly normal family.

George Clooney's satire is clearly and successfully exploring Coen Bros territory, this time there's more darkness and dread than humour; the racism subplot, however, seems grafted and has hardly any reasonable connection to the main story.

Oumie Jammeh


Eraserhead (1977)


Henry Spencer tries to survive his industrial environment, his angry girlfriend, and the unbearable screams of his newly born mutant child.

Surreal masterpiece creates a nightmarish and doom-laden world, but interspersed with a very dark humour; the soundtrack alone is in itself a work of art.

Halliwell (no star): "Tediously elongated piece of schlock surrealism. At least Bunuel and Dali didn't take so long about their nonsense."

Maltin***: "Brooding experimental film full of repulsive imagery...Bona fide cult film is full of surreal, nightmarish tangents."
