The Astrologer - 1975

 "This has nothing to do with India," a random quote from this movie which does arguably have nothing to do with India, though Indian cults and other stuff are in it.

Amateur films are weird man, what can I say, and this is definitely one of the case in point examples.  I wish I could say I followed the plot of this extremely amateur low budget thriller but really, I did not follow it.  Something about a cult in India and something about killing people, its heavy on dialogue to the point where the director himself described it later as "interminable".

The Astrologer is certainly that.  Bequeathed with a very slight modern cult status, this obscure ass flick will really make you examine the concept of dialogue when a woman says her husbands name Alexei about, oh I dunno, 600 times in 3 minutes?  

This movie also has my favorite font of all time, the font of The Astrologer below:

It's just the very definition of "70s font"

This is one to watch, for a weird and confusing unique experience.  I give it 2.5 cause it is not a good movie.

Scanners III: The Takeover - 1992

 Duuuude.  The IMDB and the WIkipedia do disagree, but one of them says 1992 which was my exact guess. Okay dude, did you know there are 5 S...
