The Best of IndieWire After Dark: 13 of the Best Fringe Films & Midnight Movies

"Our weekly midnight movie series — exploring the funkiest fringe cinema from any time or place in film — was made for weirdo cinephiles. We take a feature-length beat to discuss an unapologetically bold movie falling through the cracks in the streaming age. From boundary-pushing new works to insane misfires of yesteryear, this rewatch club exists to remind genre obsessives everywhere that, yes, there is always, always, always something you haven't seen before. The idea of a "midnight film" is still cool but anachronistic. It's ripped from back when the movie monoculture drew a sharper distinction between what was and wasn't acceptable storytelling for mainstream society. Our definition of fringe cinema encompasses a variety of genres, from masterful avant-garde works made by arthouse directors to bloated studio disasters some execs would prefer forgotten. Keep reading for our 13 best midnight movie recommendations, carefully ranked but not really comparable." - indiewire.com
