10 Great Sci-Fi Horror Movies (No One Ever Talks About)
9. Kuso
Released to critical shock and uncertainty in 2017, rap producer extraordinaire Flying Lotus’ feature film debut Kuso may be the grossest, as well as one of the creepiest, sci-fi anthologies ever made.
A gruesome but blackly comic anthology of odd, sickening tales, this surreal odyssey is set entirely in a post-apocalyptic LA, whose inhabitants seem like outcasts too gross even for a William S Burroughs story. With an unsettling spoken word wraparound between each short, this one feels more like an Adult Swim remix of the animated Heavy Metal than a less sci-fi influenced horror anthology like Creepshow.
The film's individual segments treat viewers to sights like a smoke-able mutant foetus, a concrete-chomping woman, and a parasitic bug which lives in one unfortunate character's, er, rear exit.
Filled with moments of bleak dark wit and fuelled by some druggy, trippy dream logic, this unique and uncompromising vision brings the horrorcore creepiness of its creator's musical output to life via a sci-fi horror story that few viewers will ever be able to forget.
