We then fast-forward to the present, where Jennifer Garner and Paul Walter Hauser are set to stir the pot in "Fruitcake," and Neve Campbell's anticipated return in "Scream 7" promises to slash through our expectations. Join us as we explore the family ties that bind in Alejandro Jodorowsky's cinematic enigmas, "El Topo" and "Santa Sangre," and the extreme measures these films take to weave their unforgettable tales.

As we wrap up our cinematic soiree, we look ahead to the eclectic mix of fantasy, anime, and horror that awaits in our "Summer Slash" series. Meanwhile, we reflect on those movies that have left a mark so deep, they've become a part of us – a testament to the kind of bold cinema that has become a rare gem in today's industry.
