What a movie!I agree it's disturbing for someone who's never watched gore,sick movies and I watch them all.So I actually didn't find all these scenes soo disturbing because at the end it's just movie,very sad movie specially the ending.I liked the story and. Usually i will recommend but this time don't watch if you don't have long,long history of watching sick movies or if you are to sensitive. I read reviews before watching it e.g.on scenes like raping new born(they actually didn't show baby on that scene just the guy),paedophilia etc.but to be honest like I said it's just a movie,nothing is real and those scenes are just for shock so I didn't see problem..

Its idea is simple - to enact a metaphor of being screwed from birth until past your grave. But movie is so much more than this - it challenges the viewer's complacency in fetishization of human suffering, it shows the destruction of family by powers that be; movie works on many levels but it is above all a middle finger of the filmmaker to not so much Serbian authorities, but to Serbian film establishment that is often guilty of self bashing for profit, and corrupt with nepotism and other ills that plague Serbia and many other countries. This will go over the heads of many western viewers, but this is in fact one very serious FU sent. Some of the best Serbian actors decided to take part in this, realizing the true importance of this project. Others, invariably corrupt members of the Serbian film establishment, were offended but not for the reasons you might imagine. Often misunderstood (the point of the film is not to show Serbs in bad light, there is irony that goes over heads of many such critics), the movie's seriously good cinematography, acting and other elements are in stark contrast with a seemingly exploitative but effective surface plot. But there is much more going on. That the movie managed to become one of the most notorious and even cult like Serbian movies of the new millennium, and remains popular in the West, is its enormous success, and in more ways than meet the eye. This movie is ironic revenge at its best, and one mighty piece of HIGH art at that.

View MoreI saw this movie years ago, it stuck with me for days like no other film had done before, I literally felt dirty for even watching this film, I knew going into it that it was tooted as the most extreme Horror / Thriller film ever created, It was that for sure and probably worse, Although this isn't the kind of film that you would recommend to people and trust when I say, people could even judge your character due to it's sheer brutality and Taboo stumping content, And I'm not talking about the whole "Newborn Porn!" thing, I'm talking about the final setup shoot that just haunts me to this day, It's possibly the worst of the worst thing that could possibly happen to a family man, It's Graphic and Unflinching and definitely not for those of weak constitution, I thought going in I was a hardened Extreme Content Films Experienced viewer and for the most part that would be true, with films under my belt like The Guinea Pig Collection just to use as a reference, I was not prepared for this film, As I said previously it changed me for days, I was noticeably more quiet and people around me kept asking me what's wrong, so in addition to the conditions that may afflict you mentioned above, If you suffer from Psychological Disorders then you make want to skip this one altogether, All that aside, this Film is incredibly well crafted and the pacing is a constant increase in tension and temperature to a boil, it does not end well and it's Horrific in every sense of the word, but this Director along with the Actors and everyone really who worked on this film have created a very realistic yet twisted world that I can only hope exists only in our Darkest of Nightmares, And for that I have to praise them for their work, Although I van only give them in good conscience an 8 out of 10 because to give them more, I'd probably burn in Hell, lol
... View MoreThe film interested me at the start; but as the film wore on too its excruciating finally, I kept thinking..surely it cannot get any more depraved? But it keeps getting sicker and sicker with every scene. You have been warned! You cannot "unsee" what you have seen!
