02
The Happiness of the Katakuris
Why this pick
Miike’s wildly tonal family musical-horror has the same anything-can-happen confidence: artificial sets, grotesque humor, eruptions of violence, and exuberant genre collision.
03
Big Man Japan
Why this pick
This absurdist kaiju satire pairs a bizarre invented mythology with dry comic detachment, offering a similarly off-kilter Japanese vision of spectacle and decay.
04
964 Pinocchio
Why this pick
For Ghostland’s punkest side: a raw cyberpunk nightmare driven by body horror, urban ruin, and aggressively disorienting audiovisual energy.
