i posted a thread about the greatest torture scenes of all time and somebody mentioned this movie. they compared it to guinea pig in terms of 'impact'. its supposed to be a fairly average movie with top quality gore. the person who posted about it was one of the aussies. manchestermorgue i think. ask him, he might be able to recommend some other obscure sick shit.

It's a movie by ToeTag, Fred Vogel's studio. They're also responsible for the FX in murder-set-pieces if you've seen it.

If it's "obscure sick shit" you want, the list usually goes (INPO)

Slaughtered Vomit Dolls
August Underground
Guinea Pig series
The Baby of Macon
Salo: or the 120 Days of Sodom
murder-set-pieces
Aftermath/Genesis
Family Portraits: A Trilogy of America
Irreversible
I Stand Alone
The Untold Story

I'm sure I'll think of more later.

I've seen it.

It's basically meant to the the home videos of a group of young killers. They film a few day to day events along with a lot of torture/killing. It is made to look like a poor quality home movie that has been dubbed numerous times - frame moves around alot (as if the camera is being held by hand) and the picture goes in and out of focus and is full of video artefacts/imperfections.

It doesn't have much more of a "story" than this.

It is full of many very nasty scenes of torture and depravity. One area where this film succeeds is that it truly makes you hate the protagonists.

The gore effects are very good. However sometimes it is hard to see them/what is going on because of the (intentionally) poor picture quality and camerawork. Vomiting also features somewhat throughout the film.

Some of the scenes (especially near the end) and very disturbing.

I can't say I really "liked" this film. It's not something that you would watch to "like". I felt bad just for watching it!

There is no real storyline, and I can't imagine much repeat viewing value. However it is certainly an experience.

Still, as far as scenes that have really disturbed me/been hard to watch, I think the top of my list is still the scenes of violence in the nightclub in Irreversible. I have watched those scenes a few times and still find it difficult.

Like Swiss Tony, I enjoyed masturbating over the movie - though like ManchestrMorgue, I felt quite bad about this afterwards.

:o

what is it about people attempting to deter you from watching horror on the basis that it is vile and putrid beyond belief that makes it more and more intriguing to the level where i find myself inevitably heading to play.com with my credit card details? okay manchester and anybody else with knowledge of the vilest of vile, if your life depended on your selecting the movie that i would find the most disturbing what would it be? ps. it has to be obscure, fuck cannibal holocaust or hostel. they're for nick jr.

According to this, you had a wank while you watched it - unless I'm reading things into your post that aren't really even there?

:confused:
