PSYCHOTRONIC
PSYCHOTRONIC is a collection of far-out films all listed in Michael Weldon's cult guide to the wildest movies ever made, and the film guide that Quentin Tarantino swears by, 'The Psychotronic Encyclopaedia of Film'. Described by Weldon as "[films] traditionally ignored or ridiculed by mainstream critics at the time of their release: horror, exploitation, action, science fiction, and movies that used to play in drive-ins or inner city grindhouses", this is where you will find all our wildest, coolest stuff.
From the slightly offbeat to the outlandishly bizarre, PSYCHOTRONIC is a collection of outrageous films ranging from sincere social commentary to degrading trash, but all united by the fact that they are all full of mucho weirdness and massive fun! So, sit back and prepare yourself for a journey into a dimension of Cult film that can only be described as PSYCHOTRONIC.
