Singapore Sling (1990 film)

Singapore Sling: The Man Who Loved a Corpse (Greek: Singapore Sling: Ο Άνθρωπος που Αγάπησε ένα Πτώμα, tr. Singapore Sling: O Ánthropos pou Agápise éna Ptóma) is a 1990 Greek black and white horror underground art film directed by Nikos Nikolaidis and regarded as his magnum opus. Considered a difficult film to label while still managing to develop something of a cult following throughout the years nonetheless, it was shot in a bizarre manner somewhat resembling film noir or neo-noir and black comedy as well as the exploitation, thriller, and crime genres mixed with some elements of eroticism and horror with sex being used as a power game. It received a theatrical release in Greece on 6 December 1990.

Although Nikolaidis had worked as a film director in his home country since the early 1960s, he was almost entirely unknown outside Greece. It was only with this film, which immediately achieved cult status, that international fame came to him; it remains the film for which he is best known. In March 2024, Vinegar Syndrome released the film on Blu-ray. The film was officially selected for screening at the Rimini Film Festival.
