Mad Heidi & One Cut of the Dead

Jul 27, 2023

Craving some midnight indie insanity? We've got you covered. The world's first "Swissploitation" flick, Mad Heidi (Switzerland, 2022), dunks every grindhouse trope in cheese with gleeful side references to Starship Troopers, Gladiator and more movies than we could count. Then, zom-com One Cut of the Dead (Japan, 2017) hits turbo mode with a killer tracking shot and plenty of surprises. Also, is the biggest horror release of the year an Australian film dropping this week?
