[Gllug] need help deleting strange filename

I'm sure there must be a simple solution to this:

For some reason I've acquired a file called "--001.avi" or something
(begins with two hyphens anyway).
I've tried everything to "rm" it but of course it thinks the double
hyphen is for a switch to pass to rm.

How do I delete it? Can I delete it by inode number or something?
