sharedogtooth & irreversible are big favourites of mine. man bites dog is definitely dark & twisted, but i've always found it a bit of a chore to get through.
the most messed up films i can think of off the top of my head:
sweet movie
salo
in the realm of the senses
i'm going out for a walk. if anything random pops into my head, i'll edit them in later...
A Serbian Film (2010)
The Girl Next Door (2007) - It may be the true story part of it that bothers me
Bloodsucking Freaks (1976) or Men Behind the Sun (1988)
All of your picks would be in my top ten
I still haven’t watched A Serbian Film and I’ve been told it’s best not to. 😳
Oh, and I don’t think I want to watch Men Behind the Sun either. I did a lot of reading on Unit 731 in the 2000’s. It’s horrible.
I saw A Serbian Film and I thought it was more comical and silly than anything, but I suppose it comes down to how desensitised you are to stuff.
Cannibal Holocaust on the other hand is something that bothered me and a film I'd not watch again due to the animal cruelty.
It’s like the mondo films of the day meshed with the Italian cannibal and jungle adventure genres. Strange times indeed.
shareWhen I watched A Serbian Film the first time, it was at the end of a binge of the most disturbing movies I could find, and it was just too much. The subject matter is disturbing and it is relentless. It stuck with me most than some of the others. I've since revisited it and had no reaction to it, but I think that what one finds disturbing can vary greatly on one's mood at the time.
shareI wouldn't recommend either of them. I went through a phase where I sought out the most disturbing films I could find. I don't recommend doing that either, and especially not during a short period of time.
shareA Serbian Film is good to watch if you're interested to see a film really walk the line of obscene.
shareYou're sick. Just kidding, I've seen them too.
