It’s back. LIAF’s annual walk on the wild side featuring the most twisted films to emerge this year. We dug deep to find the best and this is what you find when you go down that far. The ever-popular Late Night Bizarre programme is a bunch of anti-classics guaranteed to be as far away from Disney as it’s possible to get. A dirty fistful of 15 of the weirdest, wildest, most demented films hand-picked from the 2,400 entered.
Animation is such an unbridled artform and it unleashes some of the most unleashable imaginations on the planet. The temptation to ‘go wide’ is played out time and time again by these animators as they bring to the screen barely imaginable scenarios, crazy battling juxtapositions and boil-your-eyes imagery.
Expect severed heads, parasitic worms, dead cats, vampires, a gay Jesus, pink hermaphroditic creatures, deranged biting things and a whole lot more.
