Most disturbing film

[MinionZombie]

I would agree that the comedic stuff is very out of place in LHOTL - it's the least part of the movie - but it's never really bothered me. If anything it makes the violent stuff all-the-more disturbing and unsettling. "Teeth" - yeah, a bit wince-inducing - although I can barely remember a single thing about it. There was a similar sort of scene in Piranha 3DD (which is an awful movie, a total wasted opportunity) where a Piranha latches onto a dude's business from inside Katrina Bowden. I know what you mean about shock value though MissJackson, some folks think it's just a grotty image and that's enough, but really that's just completely immature. Now, you can have grotty images work well when they make sense or are necessary to illustrate the results of the scenario presented to the audience. I've not seen A Serbian Film, and I never-ever want to either, but reading about it I can't fathom how the stuff in that movie relates in any way to social commentary about the plight of the Serbian people, as the Director claims. Even if that is intended, such ideas and images will completely get in the way of the message you're trying to convey.

I'd say that the director of 'A Serbian Film' took his cue from Passolini, who tried to pass of the same nonsense with 'Salo: 120 Days of Sodom', which puports to be about fascism in Italy, but is really just a set of deliberately disturbing imagery and scenaros, designed to shock. Either way, I have no desire to look at 'A Serbian Film' too.

Melancholie der Engel, AKA. The Angels' Melancholy. Supposedly makes Serbian Film, Salo and Human Centipede 2 looks like episodes of Goosebumps. Features torture scenes in which actors are physically wounded (presumably they knew what they were getting into), genuine coprophagia and urophilia ("matter" is shown in close-up leaving the correct orifice and entering incorrect ones with no cutaway), unsimulated sex (including some involving a colostomy bag), a cat apparently being killed for real (no one seems to be able to confirm whether or not it was fake), and so forth. And it's a real narrative film (not a shock video or porno) that goes on for three and a half hours, with lots and lots of talking between the horrors. Can't say I'll be ordering a copy.

I hadn't seen Deadgirl before so I gave it a look. It was challenging to watch and a potent/extreme commentary, for me it didn't pull any punches. Needless to say it didn't find it's way onto my re-watch movie list.

Hotel Rwanda. incredibly powerful, moving film. all the more disturbing because that actually happened in real life. i don't know that i can find something "disturbing" that is based entirely in fiction. I think that a lot of movies that use excessive gore in an attempt to freak people out border on obscenity. that is what i consider obscene: depictions of human torment, torture and mutilation used as "entertainment." it's disgusting, perverse, and totally shameful.

Agreed. Saw 'Hunger' the other day, the Steve McQueen film where Fassbender plays Bobby Sands. Seriously disturbing. Very good film.
