American Werewolf in London

The title alone makes it sound like a cheesy 80s goofy movie...and it kinda is. But the practical effects are right up there with The Thing. It makes you invested in the characters and the main conflict is really tough. It's more dark and gritty than you would expect, especially near the end. The werewolf transformation scene has some of the best practical effects in film. It's stomach churning.

Not sure if this exactly fits the assignment, but most people think Silent Hill (first one) was a garbage movie that made no sense. And it was if you never played the games. If you did play the games though, you can see the movie is incredibly faithful to the atmosphere. They used a lot of the OST by Akira Yamaoka too, which is an amazing soundtrack. I really liked the acting as well (except for the little kid, but it’s rare to find convincing child actors anyway). Monster design was great. I think they combined cg and practical effects so it made some things a lot more convincing.

The Man Who Killed Hitler and Then The Bigfoot.

Dumbest movie title ever, but the best thing I've ever seen Sam Elliott do.

Triangle looks like a generic "slasher on a ship" horror movie at first, but is actually a lot more twisted and clever than that. >!It's actually about a time loop.!<

Teknolust (2002)

CW: y2k aesthetic, Tilda Swinton in multiple roles.

Do not read wikipedia's synopsis of it first unless you want to spoil it. you can find it here on archive.org.

Keanu Reeves holds two places on my list; Bill & Teds Excellent Adventure and Johnny Mnemonic.

Bunraku is one of those movies that has a stellar cast, but no one's ever heard of it. It's a revenge movie but it's over-the-top cheesy and edgy, but in all the good ways. Seriously give it a chance. It's not a good movie, but it is a fun one.

Oh man I had forgotten this one. It definitely fits the bill. Just so much fun to look at.
