To kick things off, here are some films making the rounds already this year that not many people will ever hear about.
Baikonur
Absurd?
Yes.
Interesting?
Absolutely!
Despicable Dick and Righteous Richard
This documentary follows a crass and uncouth man on his road to reconciliation with all who he wronged in the past. Is Richard still a dick or has he actually turned his life around?
DREILEBEN - One Minute of Darkness
DREILEBEN - One Minute of Darkness
Is Molesch the crazed killer the police pursuing him think he is?
Who is this young companion he has been sighted with?
This thought-provoking documentary takes an in depth look at the history of female musicians over the years. Their struggles, accomplishments, and sheer lack of exposure before now make this film a must see in my opinion.
A horror comedy about a mute 88 year old grandmother who escapes her nursing home, seeking vengeance!
Starting your own business can be a terrifying ordeal. Helena's dreams of running her own store are complicated when her husband loses his job...and what is that black ooze that keeps bubbling up from the floor? Who is this disturbing stranger with the sledgehammer? Hard Labor is part sociological study in economical role reversal and part high-tension psycho-drama, sprinkle some horror on top and you have this little gem!
Based on a true story comes the tale of a wealthy man searching for the men who kidnapped and tortured him. The actual kidnappers from the real life incident took legal action to keep this film from being released, but their efforts were in vain.
You need to watch this trailer. Now. Terror and visual restraint go hand in hand. Beautiful.
If you have not seen the first two [*REC] films, you need to immediately. They are, to date, two of my favorite films of all time. This new entry looks mega-camp, but still fun enough to warrant a view!
A near-genocide is averted by a compassionate doctor who will, in the long run, have to pay a very steep price for his kindness.
Having nothing to do with the popular super-villain, The Sandman tells the tall tale of a man who finds himself leaking sand. When those around him smell the sand, they fall into a deep sleep thus complicating our hero's life a great deal. The film is both quirky (that's popular nowadays right?) and funny.
Two comedians use the wrong audience member to make fun of during a comedy tour of Canada. The infuriated member of the crowd turns out to be a serial killer who traps the duo with the intention of slowly killing them for humiliating him. Can these bumbling smooth-talkers save themselves with the power of speech? Despite the dark subject matter, this film looks hilarious!
Any little known films being released soon or running the independent circuit that you are interested in?
