10 Weirdest Cult Horror Movies You Need To See

10. Begotten

With acclaim from the likes of Marilyn Manson and Nicholas Cage, there should be no doubt in your mind that Begotten is an incredibly strange film; but one only need to look at the image above to see that.

An experimental art-piece that began life as a theatre production, Begotten is a horrific, avant-garde nightmare that plays it fast and loose with its narrative and opts to tell its story through visuals as opposed to words. It tackles heady themes such as religion, creationism and rebirth; as well as exploring philosophical ideas from the likes of Friedrich Nietzsche and Antonin Artaud.

There's very little exposition and viewers are invited along for a gruelling journey across a desolate world where everything is barren and hopeless. The events on display are cruel, violent and just baffling enough to infer multiple different readings.

With next to no dialogue, an intentionally harsh and abrasive visual style, as well as a plot that's completely open to interpretation, Begotten is certainly not for everyone. Its abstract and experimental nature will be off-putting to most, but for those who enjoy the works of Alejandro Jodorowsky and David Lynch, there's plenty here to satisfy your macabre interests.
