He said it was sick.
Worse than human centipede.

once you got over the unpleasant concept, the actual film was rubbish.

Even if it's just to see how far you can push yourself. Plus, the concept looks interesting.
Or I'm just a freak trying to justify myself.

it's like with Saw. After the third movie I stopped watching them, it just became weirdly intense

than a really sick idea which he turned into a film. The director of a Serbian Film actually thinks you can use allegory in films.

Just had a joke with his mates about how paedophiles should have their mouths grafted tp the arses of obese truckers. And thus, a classic was born...

The Hollywood ones are about gore over substance. The foreign ones tend to be ultraviolent to make a point.

It is not a political allegory, it is just an excuse for a very grotesque film. Allegory doesn't work on film, no matter what the director says.

I read the synopsis and it was awful. I couldn't spot any meaning to it at all. Suggestion is sometimes more powerful than exactly the same tripe that Saw 261 gives us.
Edit: in fact trying to give it a reason makes it worse. It's a perverse kind of justification. Pretty much the point that Al made above I guess

But I know I don't like Saw films. I don't know I don't like this until I see it.
It could just be that I want to see if I can handle watching it.*
I realise these are shit arguments but I've been smoking and watching Peep Show in bed all afternoon/evening. My brain is not working at the moment.

I ended up hiding for most of it and trying to crawl in to my friends lap for some of the more gruesome parts. Admittedly I fancied him rotten at the time but I really just do not have the stomach for gruesome stuff. Which is strange, given that I've helped out with a post mortem and seen actual real gore.
