Rodriguez spins a fun anti-authority teen drive-in movie for the grunge era with a sly – but not cynical – edge. Barry’s striking production design and Donen’s love of vivid colors crash together spectacularly in this bizarre, dreamlike, horror movie about sexual envy and a psycho-killer robot that looks like the Pixar lamp took steroids from Hell.

With a movie like Uzumaki, describing the plot feels a little pointless. It chronicles an unexplainable incident of a small Japanese town caught under an increasingly hypnotic fascination with spirals. Their reality quickly dissolving into a waking nightmare of grotesque suicides and transformations. It’s exuberant, uncanny and very creative. You can have a lot of fun watching Uzumaki provided that you don’t go into it expecting answers.

Beyond the Black Rainbow’s evocation of the past isn’t a cheap gimmick. The production design, grand psychedelic rock music and perfectly grainy 35mm cinematography are painstakingly constructed to create a movie that truly could pass as a lost gem from the 1980s. Its overlying plot is, sadly, a little unsatisfyingly laid out in the first act.
