DEATH LAID AN EGG aka Plucked, A Curious Way to Love (1967) A very Godardian Giallo with a poultry farmer who breeds wingless and headless chickens. Murder and scandal pass through this film in true Italian style. Possibly the strangest Giallo out there.

THE INTRUDER (1977) This 1977 French jem has some truly creepy scenes. The antagonist can't seem to forget his ex-wife, so he believes she is riding around with him in his 1960's black English Ford, Thames Van as he follows and harasses his ex-wife's new husband and her son. The camera is in the van alot, and the chase scenes are shot very well.

WHITE OF THE EYE (1987) directed by Donald Cammel. This may be the strangest slasher film I've ever seen, mainly because it fits in the slasher genre by plot only, but the style and symbolism is biting. From the co-director of Performance comes this film about a married audio technician who kills young married women. I know, what's so special; it's amazing what Cammel did with this simple plot.
