    EXistenZ - The final question “Are we still in the game?” really summarized the first watch experience. You have no clue what’s going on anymore by that point. Same goes for Total Recall by the way - that movie also has you guessing what’s real and what isn’t throughout 90% of the runtime.

      It’s based on Robert Heinleins - All You Zombies. I think.

        And I’d say is one of the more faithful adaptations of a short sf story to film. There are a couple of additions, but in general is extremely close.

    Spun

    Films super wild, also Brittany Murphy’s last role as well.

    Edit: Altered States is another WTF movie.

      The book is better IMO (other than no Portman :-) and one of the most disturbing things I’ve ever read. Highly recommended.

              You missed out on some good episodes. They don’t all relate to each other either, it’s like the Twilight zone you can pick up and just watch one.

    Crash. It was the first and only movie I nearly walked out on.

    Beau is Afraid is absolutely mental. I had no idea what to expect when we went to see it, and I’m so thankful the cinema was empty so we could audibly talk about wtf was going on throughout. It’s definitely a movie I want people to watch but with the caveat that I’m not recommending it.

      I absolutely loved Beau is Afraid, but yeah that last act was a trip. It reminded me of “Men”. The ending of that is just pure WTF.

        The penis monster haunts my dreams! The whole movie was a trip and I absolutely loved the insanity of the first act, but the last 30 odd minutes were just mental
