10 Seriously Weird Sci-Fi Movies That Deserve Your Attention

10. Dark City (1998)

Dark City was released back in 1998, and it didn't receive a lot of attention while it was in theaters, which lead to a box office disappointment. When it moved over to home video, it found new life and quickly became a cult classic.

The film is as weird as it is brilliant, and it deserves a viewing or two if it escaped your attention when it was first released. Everything about the story leaves the viewer guessing, as the plot is confusing and difficult to follow, which suits the main character, who awakens with amnesia in a hotel room with a ritualistically murdered woman's body filling the room.

It's clear the man, whom we later learn is named John Murdoch, is the killer, but he has no memory of the crime and sets out to prove his innocence. Throughout this ordeal, he is hunted by enigmatic, pale bald men, who have strange powers and the ability to alter the world to suit their needs.

Over time, John acquires the same powers, and the film throws a curveball at the audience (and the characters) by changing the entire setting and story in a single scene. Describing it further would give away the twist, and that would be a disservice to anyone who has yet to see this incredibly unusual and amazing film.
