A knock-down drag-out road movie from some of the key players behind V/H/S that puts the pedal to the metal as it speeds down a lost highway to hell with five separate but neatly connected stories of terror and menace that will take you on a wild ride you won’t soon forget.

Bernard Rose’s retelling of Mary Shelley’s immortal tale has been updated to present-day Los Angeles but retains much of its source material’s key story elements and sentiments as the seemingly perfect artificial creation by two married scientists is violently cast out into the world with tragic and wholly disturbing results.

Just as 15-year-old Faith learns that her sick father has only a few months to live, her new hockey coach reveals that she’s the leader of a coven of witches and has the power to cure her dad if she agrees to bear a very special child for her—a proposition that sets in motion Faith’s nightmarish downward spiral.

Employing impressive old-school effects, this intense, folklore-steeped monster-movie tour de force follows a scientist and his family deep into the Irish forest on assignment.

Featuring a smorgasbord of slug-on-human violence, mid-coitus slug sneak attacks, explosive greenhouses, geysers of blood, and demented dialogue, Slugs is a rare and forgotten gem of the nature-gone-wild variety, in which public officials battle carnivorous gastropods that chew their way through a New England town.

More graphic than Psycho following the relaxed censorship of the ’70s, Hitchcock returned to England to have morbid fun with a cast of character actors and the story of a sex killer at large, deploying his iconic The Wrong Man plot last time one last time.
