Set in Orange County, California, in an age where America has lost its ‘war on drugs', a reluctant undercover cop is ordered to start spying on his friends, the consequence of which is a paranoid journey into the absurd, where identities and loyalties are impossible to decode and even your own motives become unclear. Scanner Darkly is a cautionary tale of drug use based on the novel by Philip K Dick and born of his own experiences. Like a graphic novel come to life, the film uses live action pho find out more...

Brian's just a normal guy until he meets Elmer, a foul, slimy, phallic-shaped creature who can live in a hole in the back of your neck and make everything seem really groovy, like you strayed from a '60s acid movie. Basically he feeds you an addictive narcotic, which you rather like, in exchange for your help in obtaining his food, human brains. Disquieting black humour!! Disgusting!! find out more...

From the boys that brought us South Park and Team America comes a riotous musical horror that tells the story of Alferd Packer, a prospector who leads a group of fellow 'diggers' into the Rocky Mountains in search of gold only to be accused of murder and cannibalism when the bodies of his companions are discovered partially eaten and mutilated. A tale of comradeship, evil 'trappers' ('Rip their fur, cut their eyes out with my knife. Yo-ho'), Native Indians with a distinctly Japanese flavour and find out more...

The highly eccentric and totally brilliant Alexandro Jodorowsky doesn't make films like anybody else. Directed, written by and starring the man himself "El Topo" is a violent, surreal, quasi-religious Western, if that makes sense (which like the film it doesn't). AJ plays the nomadic lone gunslinger of the title, mostly shooting people for the first half, before being reincarnated as the comedian-cum-holyman protector of a community of deformed outcasts. No doubt some would attempt to read all s find out more...

Terry Gilliam's ambitious adaptation of Hunter S. Thompson's insane, cult novel is certainly faithful, but whether it hits the spot or not is another matter. Johnny Depp, as Hunter's journalist alter-ego Raoul Duke, has the guy down to a T in every way, while Benicio Del Toro is suitably deranged as his lawyer and partner-in-crime Dr Gonzo. But the pair's 1971 working trip to Las Vegas, which rapidly becomes a drug-crazed, three day odyssey of utter madness, is so relentlessly weird that this is find out more...

Welcome to the 21st Century Colliseum. Many scores have past since we, as a species, enjoyed a little human suffering as entertainment. Johnny Knoxville find out more...

Lazy stoner Dale Denton has only one reason to visit his equally lazy dealer Saul Silver; to purchase weed, specifically, a rare new strain called Pineapple Express. find out more...

Eat your heart out David Lynch! This movie has it all - sex, mutilation, religion, obsession, revenge and a circus which makes Archaos look like a branch of the Young Conservatives. The plot defies description, suffice to say it is perversely funny, grotesquely bizarre and definitely not family viewing. find out more...

The nearest you'll ever get to a psychedelic experience without having to crawl around fields picking poison fungi or buying dodgy stuff at festivals. Still a brilliant cartoon after all these years, a trip through the design styles of the 60s - the soundtrack's not bad either! find out more...

A tour de force of twisted weirdness, gonzo journalism and mutated nastiness, plus a bit of fear and loathing. Based on the writings and real life exploits of 60s journalist Hunter S Thompson. It's all here, the copious drink, the superhuman drug intake, and the wind-ups shot at whatever symbol of authority Thompson considers as fair game. Excellent. find out more...
