"A Letter to Dad" with an updated ending shot 10 years later. I would not recommend.

To get a measure of obscurity, O went to IMDb and sorted by number of ratings, high to and these are the films, most obscure first:

  1. The Day the Earth Stopped (2010)
  2. Wan ling xing shi / Voyage of the Dead (1954)
  3. Ezra: Fear of a Faceless God (2009)
  4. The Naked Cosmos (2005)
  5. Samurai Bells of Death (1979)

It's kinda cheating relying on HK/Chinese films but I am surprised by Naked Cosmos - I am sure I have it on DVD.

I've seen quite a few via mystery science theater

Phone Booth

Of Unknown Origin (1983). A man becomes destructively obsessed with killing a dangerous rat, which has taken residence in his recently renovated house.

I remember watching Evil Bong (2006) because it was included in a 10-movie horror bundle in a Walmart bin. I don't know how niche it is, but none of my friends have ever seen it before showing it to them.

I can't say it's worth watching, but it certainly exists.

I'm a big indie movies watcher so I wouldn't even know where to start
