This is known for being the most disturbing movie ever made, and for good reason.
I find it nearly impossible to review this film due to the fact that it is what it is, but is you want a disgusting film, here it is. The pinnacle of disturbing film-making.
I'll just describe it to you, as I can't do much more.
The film is about 9 teenage boys and 9 teenage girls that are kidnapped and taken to a castle in Italy. They are subjected to physical, mental and sexual torture throughout.
This involves: [sp] eating shit, eating a roll of bread with nails in it, getting molested and forced to enjoy it, forcing a woman to piss on a man's face, act like dogs (leashes and all), having tongues cut out, eyes cut out, nipples burnt to a crisp, scalping and more[/sp]
You might have a hard time finding this one, but let me tell you, it's quite the find. I don't know if I'd "suggest" this film as much as just say "watch it if you want something fucked up."
It was apparently so controversial upon release that the director was brutally murdered before it was released.
A truly horrifying and disturbing film. Watch it on Halloween.

Source?
Why are movies like this made?
It can't possibly be considered artistic and deep... can it?

the horror

Some of the greatest directors like Scorsese and Coppola praise it for its artistic merit.
Just because its beyond what people can comprehend doesn't make it bad.
EDIT: I put it down to close mindedness of the viewers who want to see it for how "fucked up" or how "gorey" they go.
Hint: Its not your movie so why don't you watch it with a bit more understanding?
How does this compare to A Serbian Film? That was all kinds of fucked up.
Ryu-Gi would love this.
Oh god, "I don't like corn anymore" That part was fucked up I only saw this part but um, I don't want to watch the rest.

Pretty much this
maybe I'll watch it if it's fucked up in a different way from A Serbian Film
I've only seen the Cinema Snob's review of the movie, which is pretty funny. Although the actual movie itself is something I really would not want to watch.

Apart from saying its fucked up. Give me ONE reason why its a bad movie?
And you are banned from saying anything related to "bad influence" or "uncomfortable to watch".

I could actually watch "A Serbian Film" without feeling awful.
This one is just horrifying. It shows what people can do when you give them power and how they can abuse it.
this isnt human centipede!!

Human Centipede doesn't hold a candle.
Speaking of holding candles, [sp] a candle is held under a teen's penis in this movie. [/sp] :ohdear:

i know it doesnt, dude. hence the "nah, seriously"
the director was a pedophile.
[QUOTE=backfoggen;25578232]the director was a pedophile.[/QUOTE]
so is roman polanski, still makes (made) great movies!
By my understanding, the entire movie is a metaphor over capitalism. That said, it's ultimately pretentious dribble, an 'artistic' snuff film that people only enjoy because it's 'artistic.'

I wouldn't really say that at all. It's more a film showing the dangers of giving people authority over others without supervision.
Think of it as Stanford Prison Experiment: The Movie. (But with no psychologists to terminate the expirement when it started to get out of hand)
it was a metaphor about fascism actually

That's not a metaphor: that's the literal story.
I couldn't remember if it was capitalism or fascism so I took a guess. The director was communist. I know the pooh-eating scene is meant to symbolize commercialism.
Fun fact: The book this movie is based on was written in [I]1785[/I].
booooooriiiiiing

I thought it was boring without subtitles because I had no idea what was going on, but now I don't think so. I saw it mostly in subs and I got it a lot more.
