Our curation dives deep into the underground, featuring everything from mind-bending anime to psychological horror. Here's your escape plan:
REDLINE (2009)
Remember when anime studios poured everything into their art? That's exactly what happened with this hand-drawn masterpiece. Seven years of production, 100,000 frames of pure visual insanity, and zero compromises. This high-octane fever dream is what happens when street racing culture collides with neo-Tokyo aesthetics. Currently available in its full glory on YouTube - this is your chance to witness why it became a cult classic.
THE BACKROOMS
Kane Pixels took the internet's favourite liminal space nightmare and turned it into something beautifully terrifying. This found footage series dives deep into the mythology of endless yellow rooms and fluorescent lights, creating a universe that feels uncomfortably familiar. The production quality rivals big-budget horror films, yet it's completely free to dive into this rabbit hole.
THE OLDEST VIEW
Another psychological gem from Kane Pixels that proves sometimes the best horror comes from familiar places. Using the same found footage style that made The Backrooms a hit, this series adds another layer to the creep factor. Perfect for when you're already feeling isolated during the storm.
DETACHMENT
Adrien Brody delivers what might be his most powerful performance in this emotional rollercoaster. Playing a substitute teacher navigating a broken educational system, Brody's raw portrayal hits harder than any storm. This isn't just another school drama - it's a brutal look at systemic failure and human resilience. Currently streaming free on YouTube, this one will stay with you long after the cyclone passes.
THE MANDELA CATALOGUE
Alex Kister proves you don't need a Hollywood budget to create genuine horror. This analog horror series strips away cheap jump scares and CGI, leaving you with something far more disturbing - your own imagination. The series plays with format and expectations in ways that'll have you questioning those late-night YouTube sessions.
