Top 5 Freaks of the Year

The following movies are amongst the most successful dropouts, delinquents, wackadoos and one-offs from the roll-call of 2016.

“Antibirth“

The most unsanitary film I ever saw. For Fans Of: David Cronenberg

“The Love Witch“

A formal joke of great integrity. FFO: Danger 5

“Bleak Street“

Ripstein re everything Buñuel taught him. FFO: Eraserhead

“The Mermaid“

Risible in a good way. FFO: hard to say… Edgar Wright?

“The VVitch“

Not as audaciously freakish as other films on this list, but a more curious and disquieting film you could never hope to see. FFO: almost impossible to say… Herzog?
