- White Lightnin’ : A gas-huffing redneck tap-dancer biopic that gets in your head like a neurotoxin. “Intensely imagined and vividly directed, White Lightnin’ is a raw, rabid, howling hillbilly hell trip that doesn’t let up.” —Electric Sheep Magazine
- House(Hausu) : The revival hit of the year, a long-forgotten Japanese mind-rush featuring schoolgirls eaten by pianos. “My language cannot do justice to madman Nobuhiko Obayashi’s delirious 1977 Japanese horror-fantasy…You’d have to imagine Pee-wee’s Playhouse with a witch that eats schoolgirls, only amped up by a factor of 100.” —David Edelstein, New York Magazine
- In a Lonely Place : Humphrey Bogart will slap you silly in this newly restored print. “Hollywood atmosphere, existential malaise, and political subtext combine to inform a sensational love story, played on the edge of the void.” —J. Hoberman, The Village Voice
- Sonicsgate : The horror story of how Seattle lost its NBA team. “The Sonics should not be gone. That is bullshit, and it's sad, and Sonicsgate's thorough play-by-play of just how that hoodwinker went down… is a useful document for sure.” —Lindy West, The Stranger
- The Human Centipede : We frankly cannot believe this movie exists. “Almost any tale told after surviving a screening of this film will fail to do it's depravity adequate justice.” —Cinematical
