Anyone seen this? I think it's german. My German teacher said it was bizzare but good and we might watch it in class.

Oh hell yes.


~Spoiler~

The part where he picks up the remote and rewinds the movie had my eyes as big as they could get.

~End Spoiler~

Awesomely fucked up movie.

Possible spoilers, but I doubt it:

Well, let me say this film is not...NOT for everyone. But it is very fucked up if you like that sort of thing. Also, be prepared to get frustrated b/c there is a 15 minute stretch where all is quiet and nothing happens. It's unnerving. But it's worth a rent just to see some of the most outlandish filmmaking ever. There are some stunning sequences that absolutely floored me.

I believe it was in german, but there are subtitles.

okay, this movie is really special
it's some disturbing violance, but the thing is, you don't see it happen
it's allot of insinuated violence, like you see a golfclub swinging an hitting someone outside the screen, that stuff, but it's cool
about 2 guys molesting a family ion holliday, it's cool
and yes, it's in german, but I saw it with subtitles off course, but I live in belgium so....

just saw this. Fan-fucking-tastic. That 15 minute take (no cuts at all!) was messed up. The guy who played Peter/Jerry/Beavis was great.

I love how it didn't go for the easy visual shocks (nudity, gore, etc) and that there was no payoff. It's hard as shit to have no payoff in a good way.

AWESOME movie. One of those flix where you find yourself cheering on the villians...and this movie had some awesome villians...Yes, the rewinding scene was great but there was also one of the most disturbing games of hot and cold I've ever seen.

Sounds like an awesome flick. I will keep my eyes open

[EXTR3MIST]

It's grim and without redemption, mind - in the vein of Henry and the awesome Schizophrenia (a.k.a. Angst).

Fucking hell, it's nearly Christmas.

yes, the wink is great, too. We all know what she's going to find, Paul knows we know what she's going to find, it's a really unique (and blatant) way of building tension.
