Brain Damage is a horror comedy heavy handed on campy schlock, gorey practical effects, stop motion and slime.
Brian, a young man suffering from strange hallucinations realizes he has become the host of a parasite called “Aylmer” who repeatedly injects him with a psychoactive fluid that turns him into a incoherent, zombified vessel compelled to bring the parasite to new victims with tasty brains to feast upon.
As much as it is what you’d expect of such a film it surprisingly has some level of darker complexity I wasn’t expecting and it touches on themes of drug addiction and sexuality throughout.
In my opinion as an enjoyer of low budget films with bad taste, it is one of Henenlotter’s best and brightest.

I couldn't stop myself from mentioning it in my answer even though it's a pretty basic recommendation. But this movie fits the bill perfectly plus it's in my ultimate top 3.
If you enjoy dream-like pacing, unsettling atmosphere that feels very off and almost stressful, characters and events that at first don't seem to make sense yet keep you glued to the screen, then you have to watch it.
It's also beautifully shot - even if you don't like the movie you will appreciate the Silencio scene on its own. Angelo Badalamenti absolutely nailed the whole soundtrack as always.
Mulholland Drive is not a riddle so it can't be "solved". But you will think about this movie for at least next few days - connecting different points, noticing specific things. It's just like waking up from a particularly vivid and intense dream, and keeping it in the back of your head for the rest of the day.
Still can't believe David Lynch is gone
