Unlike many horrors, that trigger discomfort and fear, this movie has left viewers downright disturbed.
Discussing it on social media, one person writes: “There is NOTHING more disturbing than this film. It makes The Human Centipede look PG.”
Another adds: “That’s still embedded in my brain. I wish I’d not watched it.”
A third viewer warns: “Please don’t watch, it has explicit scenes that will haunt you forever. Traumatizing.
In agreement, a fourth says: “If you haven’t seen it, do yourself a favor and never watch it.”
Directed by Srđan Spasojević, the movie follows a semi-retired adult star named Miloš who accepts an offer to star in an art film.
Before he can reconsider, Miloš discovers he’s committed to a brutal film filled with extreme s**ual content and other elements too horrific to describe.
Upon its release in 2010, the film sparked widespread controversy and significant edits had to be made – in the United Kingdom, 49 individual cuts were required, across 11 scenes, as per the BBFC.
Of the 46 countries that have banned the film, major markets include Australia, Spain, and Malaysia.
