31 Horror Movies You Must Watch This October 2022
4. Flux Gourmet
Peter Strickland (Berberian Sound Studio) is one of the most singular horror filmmakers working today, a fact further confirmed by his most recent effort, Flux Gourmet.
A genre-bending black comedy with a genuinely horrific fringe, Strickland's latest follows a group of experimental performance artists during their stay at a remote art institution, where nothing is as it first seems.
A tough-to-categorise piece of work but one that's continually unnerving through its sheer strangeness, Flux Gourmet pinballs from dry hilarity to anxious tension at a moment's notice.
Beyond Strickland's patient direction and some truly first-rate sound design, it's the performances from the ensemble cast - led by Asa Butterfield and Gwendoline Christie - that really make this sing.
