5 Cult Film Instagrams That Are Worth That Immediate Follow

1. The Distributor: @arrowvideo

Arrow Video is a godsent organization actually reviving celluloid in the 21st century, reincarnating classic B-Movies as handy-dandy DVDs and Blu-ray. Its Instagram bio professes a penchant for "classic, world, cult, horror" genres, and its account is a pure reflection of those tastes. Follow for screencaps of every b-movie you've skipped over because it was too hard to find.

2. The Art Collector: @buio_0mega

This account deals exclusively in the art and illustrations that adorn the VHS covers of, as they describe them, "Retro/Cult/Obscure/Underrated/Forgotten/Giallo/Horror Films." Do you need to know more? No way!



3. The Cinema: @anthologyfilmarchives

Like most theatre accounts, Anthology Film Archives' Instagram is a visual analog for its upcoming schedule, but it's unique in the artistry it manages to retain. An eye for angles and color, for showcasing its more obscure offerings, and for providing winky tidbits of information give AFA's account a boost that makes it eminently worth the follow.

4. The Dorm Room Wall: @popcultureinpictures

This account more than makes up for its incessant paid plugging of leggings with its investment in memorable cinematic screengrabs. Pop Culture In Pictures has an eye for those moments in a film you want to freeze in your mind forever, conveniently screencapped, uploaded to Instagram, and delivered to your feed for your daily pleasure.

5. The OG: @anti_cgi

Anti CGI is perhaps definitive film buff Instagram hub. With a focus on non-computerized special effects (though it often deviates from its stated purpose), the account is a glorious unearthing of old school gems, both well known (Scanners) and obscure (Meatball Machine, 2005). While you might not rush to download 'em all, you will certainly be scrolling within an inch of your sanity, caught up in Anti CGI's grotesque, tangled, exhilarating web.
