An old obscure one that I happened to catch on IFC is my pick -- a Brazilian film called "The Strange Hostel of Naked Pleasures." It made "Manos the Hands of Fate" look like Hitchcock. I am not exaggerating. I would describe the film, but trying would warp the space-time continuum.
All I can say is that it is set in a hotel that takes in sinners who are subjected to gruesome and at times ironic fates, that ends up being actually a cemetary (in a sub-Twilight Zone reveal), and has some of the cheapest special effects (seriously, a scene of a guy shooting himself is accomplished by putting a sparkler next to the camera lens and then running red ink completely down it) ever committed. It was strange, it was a hostel, it did have nudity (the same three clips repeated over and over again) but was NOT a pleasure.
