Before Star Wars made the universe feel safe, there were films that grabbed audiences somewhere much darker and wouldn't let go. Studios buried them. Critics called them obscene. Audiences walked out. One director pulled his own film from theaters for nearly three decades. Another couldn't find a U.S. distributor for three years.
In this video, we dig into 10 forgotten and suppressed sci-fi films that were too honest, too strange, or too disturbing for mainstream audiences and how almost every single one turned out to be right about what it was trying to say.
Films covered:
🪐 Fantastic Planet (1973)
⬜ THX 1138 (1971)
🤖 Demon Seed (1977)
🪞 Seconds (1966)
🧬 The Brood (1979)
🎩 A Clockwork Orange (1971)
💀 Society (1989)
👁️ Possession (1981)
📼 Eraserhead (1977)
📺 Videodrome (1983)
These weren't just provocations. They were confessions dressed up as genre films and the mainstream punished them for being too honest about what it means to be human.

I don't agree that Society, Eraserhead or The Brood are science fiction though.
