I think I could live with myself if I killed a person. I could not rape a baby nor live with it.



Its like I could kick most people but I could never kick (nearly) any dog.



As a parent perhaps my perception is biased. Babies and animals are innocent, and its truly disturbing and frightening to me seeing depictions of violence towards them. Don't get me wrong, I plan on watching this movie within the next couple of days and a baby rape is not going to make judge it. Knowing that in real life people could commit such acts is truly "horror".

Ya the pusher series..

But this whole discussion comes up again for me... Does the the end justify the means? I guess I ask this because I have such a tough time with exploitation films...

Yeah I definally think its worth watching - its well made and not completely mindless though its not half as clever as it thinks it is. At the end of the day its an exploitation film and not a political satire and as such it does its job nicely..

Unfortunally at this stage its hard for you to watch with preconceptions, so already the film is over hyped/under hyped etc etc..

On a side note, I loved the sound track too.

I'm hosting a screening of this film on the 16th of April for a few close friends. I'll be cooking all day & making a trip to the liquor store. This is a "black tie" event, too & for the ladies: dress/skirt or something comparable.

We shall see how the reactions are post-film. I, myself am a huge fan & am looking forward to sharing this wonderful piece of art/cinema with those I feel will not only "get" it, but appreciate it, too.

Only time will tell I suppose!

Dammit, Ferox!!! :mad:

Just finished watching this on a "friends" recommendation. Wow. It's just fucked from the start, isn't it. Now that you've said it about the "fucked from birth" metaphor, I kinda see the point of that scene. But yeah, this director clearly has...odd thoughts.

LOL - glad you 'enjoyed' it...

I've literally just finished watching it, I saw this thread 100-ish minutes ago and decided to put it on.

I don't really know what to think.

It was a good film in that, unlike most exploitation films I've seen, I actually cared for the main characters in this. The main narrative of trying to gradually work out what has happened and it being so much worse than anything you could've imagined was something different and in light of the more horrific scenes you find yourself desensitized to some other scenes in the film (tooth pulling?).

The dick in the eye was silly. The pure anger was lost in that scene. I can only compare it to a similar part of 28 days later, but the use of his cock just made it ridiculous. I'm sure the director was trying to make a not-too-subtle point but in that moment, Milos wouldn't be too concerned with irony - I'd imagine.

I knew enough about the film before watching to not be sure whether I wanted to see it but had forgotten most of what I'd heard about it. The end is just the roughest thing I've ever seen in a film and that is why I can't say I enjoyed it. I'm still a little stunned and sickened so it's difficult to praise any cinematography that may very well deserve praise right now.

LOL If that's not tongue in cheek then it's the funniest thing I've read on HDC, hands down (I know you're being ironic Sym).

I'm with Sistina on this one. It's the cruelty to vulnerable/helpless victims who are without sin. I can watch any violence to any adult in a movie but kids and animals just gets me eg. the most disturbing scene in American Psycho is the dog getting stomped!

Ps. Having a one year old, there's no f**king way I'm watching a movie with a baby rape in it. Albeit an 'artistic' baby rape.
