this is what i mean by exceptions. i think cannibal holocaust falls into this too. disturbing films that actually leave you with something to think about and have some sort of intellectual depth whatsoever (for me both of those films do). instead of just intellectually devoid garbage shocking hyper fetishized gore and violence and snuff porn bullshit where its just like anyone who had anything to do with this film deserves to be shot in the face. |

Really? I understand that the book is influential/a source of fascination for many but it's largely just the ramblings of a mentally ill pedophile.
The film uses the book as inspiration to advance what to me is a sophisticated critique of fascism, and thus has at least some merit. |

10.16.16 | "Never got the appeal of watching really disturbing movies, but to each their own."
Potsy put it best when it comes to a good disturbing film. It's one that makes you think and leaves you with a lot of train of thought after viewing the film. I remember watching Incendies and one part that is burned in my brain is the torture scene but what's amazing is nothing is shown. All you hear is the screaming in the background and let me tell you, that is much more disturbing and puts way more mental pictures and lets your brain run wild thinking instead of it being shown straight to you. I've watched plenty of gory films but when it comes to the idea of a good disturbing film, potsy nails what a good one should be without just being straight gore/porn because that shit is stupid. I'm not saying shock value and gore can't work but taken to the extreme it's just ridiculous and does nothing at that point. A little here and there isn't too bad if not taken over the top and done right. Anti-christ is a good example of some shock and gore without going to the extreme and really disturbing the viewers. |
TVC15
10.16.16 | Oh Happiness was definitely a very well done movie, it's just hard for me to really absorb everything that I saw. Reminds me of Tarantino in how he was able to balance humor and heaviness |

Irreversible was ok. The Human Centipede series is a joke tbh, when not taken seriously and watched with mates, it can be a pretty fun time.
