SIMILAR PICKS / A PERSONAL CONNECTION

If you loved Relaxer, try these.

The Alchemist Cookbook poster 01

Movie / 2016 / Drama / Horror

The Alchemist Cookbook

Why this pick

A one-man, DIY descent into obsessive ritual and squalid survival, matching Relaxer’s lo-fi texture, claustrophobic focus, absurdist humour, and steadily more hallucinatory pressure.

Kuso poster 02

Movie / 2017 / Horror / Comedy / Drama / Fantasy / Animation

Kuso

Why this pick

Its aggressively grotesque practical effects, fractured underground-comedy logic, and apocalyptic sensory overload make it a strong fit for Relaxer’s committed bad-taste surrealism.

The Greasy Strangler poster 03

Movie / 2016 / Comedy / Horror / Thriller

The Greasy Strangler

Why this pick

This shares Relaxer’s filthy retro aesthetic, deliberately awkward performances, repetitive comic rhythms, and willingness to push a ludicrous premise into a strangely hypnotic nightmare.

Trash Humpers poster 04

Movie / 2009 / Horror / Drama / Comedy

Trash Humpers

Why this pick

A fake-found-footage endurance prank with abrasive sound, degraded imagery, and gleefully antisocial humour; it channels a similarly confrontational DIY spirit rather than conventional narrative comfort.

Bad Boy Bubby poster 05

Movie / 1993 / Crime / Drama / Comedy

Bad Boy Bubby

Why this pick

Its extreme confinement, deranged comic cruelty, and outsider protagonist create an unnerving absurdist ordeal that rhymes with Relaxer’s escalating challenge-based isolation.
