A Serbian Film

Starting with a movie review.

My first Serbian movie. I already knew a bit about Serbians from Defense of the Ancients matches, and it seems that history has not been well for the country. As the director has said, this movie carries a message about the current status of Serbia. The movie's cinematography and camera work are surprisingly professional. The writing for this adult story is well done and interesting, and the buildup before all of the disturbance was tempting. I knew nothing of the details, thus increasing the effectiveness of the scenes. After the movie ended, I can safely say that out of my previous viewed shock movies such as Salò (1975) , Nekromantik (1987) or Men Behind the Sun (1988) that this is like an upgraded, renewed, heck, modernized new look at the dark topics of life.

Let me spoil you the disturbing parts eh? Aside from children watching porno and it being a semi pornography movie in general, we've got sodomy, newborn porn, bleed peeing, dick cutting, rough sexual violence, very fucking fast shock scenes, torture, extreme gore including a head sliced off the body, which let blood fly everywhere (And no, not in a ridiculous way like in Kill Bill, but in a creepy way) while the main character continues to be what seems to be the only thing that comes to mind; a fuck rage.

We've also got regurgitating, dick biting, black blood, drug abuse, gay rape, neck breaks, head banging, head smashing, eye rape, cannibalism, harassment, nightmares, child porn, morphing voices and family suicide. Wow, amazing, not to mention the high tension the music accompanies the movie, this has easily become the most shocking movie I have seen yet. And I mean that with full concrete persuasion. Considering the very extreme nature of this movie and the effect it had on me, I cannot justify such a horrific movie with just a passable rating of a 6. No sir, for an extraordinary controversial movie such as this, I am giving it an 8.

If you're one of the hardcore guys like me who have been searching for a truly shocking movie while at the same time not being poorly made such as August Underground's Mordum (2003) or a dull plot such as Aftermath (1994) , then this is it. This is a well made movie with buildup at the beginning, extreme nature with all the juicy details visible, suggestive or not and even a thoughtful plot that might go unnoticed for most viewers because of the vast amount of horror!

In conclusion, this is the ultimate quality shock movie I have seen yet, and I can recommend it to everyone who wants to have seen it all. For the rest of us, for your sanity, mark my words and never, ever see this movie if you are easily offended.

Rating 8.5
