A Serbian Film

[ShankS]

Couldn't see another thread for this...

have a read about this Serbian horror, sounds cranky

He returns to the set and finds a number of tapes. He learns that he was drugged, made to rape, beat and brutally murder a woman and eat a mans' genitals.

A friend just gave me a copy of this today. Probably be Sunday before I can watch it.
Sounds like it's gonna be rough.

This one does push it in a couple of scenes. I cringe at one everytime I think about it... one squirt of blood just made it really vile.

It's more than just a shock for shock's sake flick (but maybe I'm just kidding myself).

One of the better character studies since the Pusher trilogy.

I've been wanting to see this since I read about it....but as the time draws near, I'm a little nervous, lol.
We'll see what's up Sunday.

You were the dude after harsh shit a few threads back right?

;)Milos is a former porn star who is down on his luck financially. When he receives a call from his long-time movie actress partner, Layla, he welcomes her call. Apparently shes heard that a new film director wants to hire Milos to star in his "artistically designed" porn film for a very generous price. He is easily lured form his semi-retirement by the lucrative offer, agreeing to meet the director in an isolated mansion.

Yeah. And I can't wait to see it. I just hope it does it for me. I don't necessarily need to see a newborn violated, but I want something that shocks me.
I read the description of the film to my wife and she's already said flat out she's not watching any of it.

Just got Martyrs today from NetFlix, so it looks like Sunday will be a double feature day.

A Serbian film sucked to me. Didn't shock in the least. My wife watched it with me, and if she can watch it, it's not....scary or upsetting at all.
The "baby" scene was ridiculous and the fact that some are saying it is so well shot, footage wise....I don't get it.
Just my opinion, but it seemed like another average film that promises to disturb and shock, and doesn't deliver.
Meh, maybe what is disturbing nowadays isn't the same meaning for me.

Off to watch Martyrs now. I hope that's good at least.

I hoped you enjoyed it. If you have time get copies of Ma Mere and Funny Games. Ma Mere is IMO one of the most distrssing films I have seen. Funny Games is not a walk in the park either. If you have seen them what did you think of them?

I haven't seen those two, but I will certainly check them out. Thanks!!
