It’s that you can watch them and feel like you’re getting a piece of the filmmaker’s unfiltered consciousness - for better or worse. It’s not that any of these films share commonalities besides their rather dismal box office receipts and polarizing audience response. I’m talking about films like Southland Tales (2006), Grindhouse (2007), Jennifer’s Body (2009), Jupiter Ascending (2015), A Cure for Wellness (2016) and mother! (2017). Every once and a while, a genre film comes along that’s so off-the-wall, so against the grain of the current pop-culture zeitgeist, and so wholly the work of a filmmaker’s id and formative instincts that it’s difficult to believe any major studio would give it the green light.
