my favourite cult movies of 2018
Yes it’s time once again for making “best of” lists. I haven’t seen enough cult movies in the past year to do a proper top ten list so I’ve contented myself with a top half-dozen, rank by year of release not quality.
Here’s the list, with links to my reviews.
Yambaó - Cry of the Bewitched (Alfredo B. Crevenna, 1957)
The Monster That Challenged the World (Arnold Laven, 1957)
The Frozen Dead (Herbert J. Leder, 1966)
The Fog (John Carpenter, 1980)
Escape from New York (John Carpenter, 1981)
The Thing (John Carpenter, 1982)
I'm going to give an honourable mention to The Time Travelers (Alexander Singer, 1976), an interesting TV-movie which was actually a pilot for a projected TV series that never eventuated.
Yes the list is mostly John Carpenter movies! That’s because my cult movie watching in the past year has been mostly limited to - John Carpenter movies.
Those John Carpenter movies are all great, but they were all already known to me. The Monster That Challenged The World was fantastic, and a real joy - thanks for the heads-up!
