Not really lesser-known, but I was bored last week and watched Jennifer's Body one night. I watched it because I heard it had been positively re-evaluated for some of its themes. I did like the ideas in it, but overall it just wasn't very good. Megan Fox is not a great lead actress, and the friendship with her (popular girl) and Amanda Seyfried (glasses-wearing bookworm) did not seem believable.

For appreciators of extreme filmmaking this German anthology featuring three tales should do the job.

I rewatched this about a year or two ago and I liked it more than when it was new for sure. Still not amazing, but solid.

A dark comedy in which a grieving widower agrees to let a mentally unstable Texan with an ill-fitting wig and ridiculous accent cannibalize him. All of the comedy didn't land for me but the gruesome content sure did. Lots of wincing. Laughed a couple times.

While I feel like this might be an April Fool's joke?
I am still sort of interested.

Speaking of German Angst, has anyone seen Angst? What a fucked up film.

I've recently just heard of it and it's on my watchlist.
Not too scary or nothin' but it does have a couple of creepy moments, a truckload of fantastic practical gloopy effects, and a bit of humor. Kinda like a Body Snatchery-Thingy-Splintery road movie. Not too long ago I watched Viejos made by the same directing team. Both are good!
