BLUE VELVET (1986)
Certification18 Our Rating
It's sick, it's weird, it's spooky, but it's compulsive viewing. Forget Brat Packs and Rambo, this is the dark side to America. Beneath the squeaky clean surface lurk neuroses and perversions, degradation and despair. Brilliantly done, this film will haunt you.

STRAW DOGS (1971)
Certification18 Our Rating
An unusual departure (if you exclude the violence) for Peckinpah, though the key elements of mans' inhumanity to man and his ultimate emotional expression through aggression are very much present. An American mathematician and his English wife escape the hostility of New York for the apparent tranquillity of Cornwall, only to find themselves in great peril and finally discovering the overwhelming desire for retribution. Straw Dogs was banned due to its explicit violence, but bar the uneasy feeli
