obscura@treasurehiding.com About
The purpose of this community is to discuss, review, and shed light on some of the more bizarre, fantastic, and obscure films that are floating around out there.
B-movies are included in this category, but are not the only type of film relevant to this community.
Big budget films are typically irrelevant. For example, although Lost Highway was atypical of modern day big budget Hollywood filmmaking, it still does not qualify as obscure.
Use common sense. If you are still unsure if the film you have in mind is relevant, I suggest doing a little background investigation into the films history.
Simply put: the more obscure, the better.
Photos/screenshots are highly encouraged and appreciated!
