Cría Cuervos - 1976 - Carlos Saura

A childhood tale set in 1970s Spain, Cría Cuervos is seen through the eyes of a disturbed little girl (Ana Torrent), who, seamlessly switching between reality and her morbid imagination, looks at the world around her as one of decay (a terminally ill regime) and death. Franco wouldn’t have liked this film. Sabine Wolf

Feast - 2005 - John Gulager

Though gory and violent, this is one of the funniest and most enjoyable films in the tradition of From Dusk Till Dawn. A fantastic combination of horror (or what I call “un-horror” of which you can see too much on the screen these days) and comedy. But its “last scare” sucks! Omid Nikfarjam
