The Elk

Comedy fuses with science fiction in this quirky film about the chaos that ensues when an “elk” (in fact, a tall individual who wears a coat, does not speak, and has an elk’s head and antlers) emerges from the forest near a small town. Accepted by a family who interacts with him as if nothing is unusual, they initially shelter their guest from their neighbors. But not for long!

Mondo Trasho

Compilation of “Mondo” films, a documentary subgenre mixed with fiction from the 1960s, the most famous of which is Mondo Cane (1962). These documentaries largely exploited Western voyeurism with generally dubious commentary.
