Mouth of Madness

Coffin Homes

The satire couldn’t be clearer about Hong Kong’s housing problems, its high prices and the conditions it puts those without means. Hence the “coffin houses” that give its name to this black comedy, which winks at the insufficiency of square meters, as well as at this fictional predicament regarding people who assent to live in haunted houses. Full of exacerbated violence, an anthological film with several stories to tell.

Flux Gourmet

What is sonic cooking? The type of art practiced in this story, glued with pastiche and dead-pan humour, which takes place in a house in the bucolic English countryside, in a residence where artists work extracting different and disturbing sounds from various foods. But the productivity of the stay will be threatened by an art collective that is jealous and ready for revenge.

Night of the Living Dicks

There’s no room for subtle metaphors when you can be so blissfully direct. A tribute film to other classics, including John Carpenter’s They Live, about misogyny and gender dynamics. It all starts when Venla discovers a pair of glasses with very special characteristics.

She Will

With Dario Argento as executive producer, this film brings together actors such as Rupert Everett and Malcolm McDowell, with Alice Krige in the lead role. Veronica Ghent leaves for an atmospheric Scotland to recover from a double mastectomy. A film about revenge, but with a dose of nasty humor. Are scars evidence of past trauma or indicative of its subsequent healing?

Spider

A film that starts by quoting something that every parent, in the history of the world, will have said or thought: it’s all fun and games, until someone loses an eye.

Mouth of Madness

Strawberry Mansion

A lifetime of dreams stored on VHS cassettes. It’s time for an audit, because in this dystopian world not even our dreams are free from the monster of capitalism. But that doesn’t mean there isn’t a bit of hope, and a possibility of escape, hidden somewhere in an oneiric landscape. When government agent James Preble (Kentucker Audley) meets artist Arabella “Bella” Isadora (Penny Fuller), that’s exactly what happens: when you open the door to the dream world, a thousand possibilities open up.
