I know that “A Clockwork Orange” isn’t what you would think of as being a classic horror movie but it is so creepy, so well written, so bizarre that in my world, it falls into horror.

Please do yourself a favor, if you have not watched this movie.. do so! But be mentally prepared. It is violent , it is weird.. it is pure Stanley Kubrick cinematic brilliance. Malcom McDowell is just A freaking + in this film.

• Stanley Kubrick‘s first solo screenplay.
• One of only two movies rated X on its original release to be nominated for Best Picture at the Academy Awards.
• Stanley Kubrick was afraid theatre owners would edit the movie. So every week, the reels would be exchanged for a clean, inspected copy.
