10. The Lords Of Salem

Love him, or hate him, there's no denying Rob Zombie's eye for bombastic visuals, and The Lords of Salem is pure eye-candy for horror-nuts.

After a mysterious package from 'The Lords of Salem' arrives at a local radio station, its resident DJ and recovering heroine-addict Heidi soon finds herself at the centre of an age-old plan for revenge. This naturally leads to all manner of vivid dream sequences, spooky hauntings, and shocking WTF moments that make this an unforgettably strange film.

Zombie pays homage to the likes of Dario Argento and Ken Russell with this film's striking visuals but also embodies their penchant for having relatively thin narratives that prioritise luscious visuals over telling a fully realised story.

Those looking for a deep-dive into the psychology behind addiction, or an accurate depiction of the suffering of alleged witches during The Trials should look elsewhere, but for the rest of us, The Lords of Salem is a beautifully twisted nightmare that definitely deserves a lot more love.
