Cannes's weirdest movies: from Moomins 3D to Zombie Ass: Toilet of the Dead – in pictures

Serious critics might pooh-pooh a movie about an ‘unknown parasite which gain entrance to human body from ass and turned zombie!’ [sic] but audiences know what they want, and it turns out that’s attractive Japanese schoolgirls fighting off a hoard of anal-parasite-infested zombies. Photograph: PR

Almost certainly the first alien invasion movie to be set in Derby, UFO features Sean Brosnan (son of Pierce), Bianca Bree (daughter of Jean-Claude Van Damme) and – in a canny bit of nepotistic casting – a small appearance from Van Damme himself. Photograph: James McCauley

Daryl Hannah and Claire Forlani both star in Amazing Racer, yet another entry in the inexplicably enduring Miraculous Horse subgenre. Present and correct: a tragic death, an emotionally anthropomorphised animal and even a pantomime villain in the form of Eric Roberts. Photograph: James McCauley

Oddly, this bears little resemblance to the Horne & Corden classic Lesbian Vampire Killers. The sales agents remain guarded when I ask if their film has any connection to the Brit-com, which may explain why – when I return next day – the poster has been replaced with one for Lesbian Vampire Warriors.

Shot more than ten years ago but still doing the rounds on the festival circuit, this sixty-minute opus sees a reanimated prostitute roaming the streets of Seoul in search of the paedophile teacher who had her killed. Just another day at the office for director Nam Gee-woong. Photograph: PR

Star of this year’s marché is the biggest Moomin project ever. The voice cast includes both Skarsgårds, while the soundtrack has original music from Moomin fangirl Björk, who apparently admires the series for its “anti-authority” convictions. Max von Sydow narrates. Photograph: James McCauley
