Late Night Bizarre (15)

October 1, 2013 by LIAF

Crazy, scary, confounding – just some of the adjectives we found best describe this years batch of the weirdest films at LIAF. So get ready for zombies, lion penises, bunny sex, psychedelic pussycats, the most intense plasticine Scott Walker music clip you’re ever likely to see, and even some pretty special ads for stuff you really don’t want – and that’s just for starters.
