This is a classic example of a mundane event turned into an extreme nightmare scenario. One of the few truly memorable cinematic black comedy shorts...recommended.
David Lynch's most effed up work to date. Realities within realities within effed up realities. Hard to watch and follow. Laura Dern gives performance of her life-truly disturbing/stunning.
Also my favourite film of his. Have seen it 3 times and am only just beginning to link the it all together.
That one was blown entirely out of proportion when the BBFC banned it. It's relentlessly gory, but no more so than some other horrors that the BBFC have passed at 18, and it was clearly done on a shoestring budget because it all looked really fake. The excuse that it was the sexual violence is a load of shite when Antichrist featured
a man having his penis crushed and then ejaculating blood as he was unconsciously masturbated.
but that's okay, because it's "arty"
I prefer to think that the BBFC banned it because it was a pathetic film.
It's English title is 'Inside'. I didn't find that one particularly disturbing if i'm honest, the gore was so outrageously OTT and unrealistic that it kind of negated how disturbing it could have been. I really liked the film though, probably one of the best horror/slashers i've seen recently. The first half while the woman is being stalked is incredibly tense. When you watch it a second time you suddenly see the stalker in scenes that you never even noticed her in before, hidden in the background. Very creepy.
In reagrRAB to 'Salo', I'd take JCR and Carlito's advice. I watched it purely out of morbid curiosity and it was really nasty, and if i'm honest it's not even a particularly good film. The 'Circle of Shit' and 'Circle of Blood' chapters feature some of most horrible images in cinema, and like JCR said you really don't want them in your head.
Also, i feel that i should mention that just because 'Martyrs' has been mentioned in this thread that people shouldn't avoid it. Quite the contrary, i wholeheartedly reccommend the film if you like horror movies. It's one of the best horrors i've seen in years. You do need a strong stomach though!
I didn't find Salo beautiful. I found it boring. Nothing much happens except some old prossies singing about wee and the shit-eating that just looks like chocolate, which I believe it was.
One film I boycott is Cannibal Holocaust because of the real animal killings. There is no excuse for that.
A British film called Mum and Dad...I think it was a horror but just the thought of it makes me feel sick. I dont even know if it came out at the cinema. Relly disturbing film.
