This Night I Will Possess Your Corpse [Esta Noite Encarnarei no Teu Cadáver]
The high point of this one is when Coffin Joe is dragged by his hair into a grave whereupon the (previously black and white) film cuts to this garish technicolour, incredibly deranged, cinematic vision of hell complete with a chap who walks around systematically hammering a chisel into people's foreheads and a lot of breasts being whipped.
King.

Thirst [Bakjwi]
Chan-wook Park makes films that are the visual equivalent of trying to get the foil off An Easter egg without it tearing. In this one the foil is the idea of giving deeply amoral vampirism to the most moral person possible, and then sticking them in an illicit love triangle. Cue a great deal of meticulous studying and slow unfolding that will lead to a satisfying treat.

At Midnight I Will Take Your Soul [À Meia-Noite Levarei Sua Alma]
First Coffin Joe movie wherein the demented grave digger commits a series of acts which steadily move across a spectrum of evil with 'eating meat on a holy day' somewhere on the left and 'raping a woman thus causing her to involuntarily crush a live bird to death in her hands' somewhere on the right.
King.

Astro Boy
The cartoony CGI animation style is so at odds with the strong themes from the original manga that you tend to just spend the whole time thinking unhelpful, confused thoughts like "Who the hell makes a kids movie where a child is vaporised within the first 10 minutes?"
My Monster came out of the whole experience with a newly earned thousand yard stare.
