With humans,it's 100% acting,gauranteed,but in some cases with animals,it's done for real.

Yes, non-simulated animal killings are unforgivable.

I thought this had been outlawed.
I cant watch animals being killed on camera,, knowing its real, I am a member of Peta- let the verbal start! And defy anyone who has watched any of their campaign films to watch a film knowing animals were being killed for fun and not feel sickened.
This is why I have never watched Apocalypse Now.

I'm sure it's been outlawed in the U.S. and the U.K., but I don't know about other countries. Men Behind The Sun was made in Hong Kong and they probably didn't have any laws against it at the time (1987 or 1988).

Watched men behind the sun recently- found it a very very sad film which made me cry and haunted me. The scene with the cat was horrible, but the part which I found most disturbing was the little mute chinese boy. T found the whole film very well put together and stark, but that does not mean I enjoyed it. Certainly not on the level of other Asian films. I couldn't tell myself 'its only a film',, because the reality it was based on was evil beyond imagination.

I was so disturbed by the scene where the Chinese boy met his fate I didn't even want to talk about it.

Don't Peta kill animals too?

Yeh it's pretty fucked. A lot of animals lost out at the expense of their advertising budget.

PETA is all fashionable activism really.

I think "Inside" is the most taboo horror film I've seen. Someone attacking a pregnant woman with the intention of stealing her baby is pretty disturbing and the shots showing the baby reacting to various blows made it even more intense.

Inside was hard to watch and I loved it for that... My husband won't even watch it; the synopsis bothers him too much!
