I agree with Spoorloos, it is a superb movie and quite disturbing with a wonderful downbeat ending; but The Vanishing was just an empty shell to me with none of the forboding of the original.

The Shocking Asia, Men Behind The Sun, Cannibal type movies I tend to steer clear of as they are just in your face gore with few, if any, redeeming features. I also hate any movie that includes actual cruelty to animals to get a few extra cheap thrills.

Audition.

Don't ask,I don't want to think about it.

Audition had its share of audience walk-outs. When shown at the 2000 Rotterdam Film Festival, one enraged female viewer confronted Miike by shouting at him: "You're evil!"[2] During uncensored members-only shows at the Irish Film Institute in Dublin in 2001, some patrons collapsed in apparent shock. One audience member was rushed to the St. James's Hospital but later discharged himself.[3]

I had the misfortune to see a bit of Animal Farm. And I don't mean Orwell's fable.

Yep, I usually don't care for remakes or son of return of moviename II, III, IV, they often cut corners trying to capitalize on the success of an original.

I did get a kick out of both Alien and Aliens, though! That's it man, game over man, game over! I thought III, AVP and Resurrection were lousy.

Except for Winona.

120 days of Sodom
Emmanuelle in America (the unrated scenes are absolutely hard stuff)
Viva la muerte (Arrabal)
Nekromantik 2
Guinea Pig Series

This is a compelling and superbly acted film set in the midst of the horrible Bosnian war of 1991-1995, horrible even by the standards of warfare, and the film pulls no punches in representing the stark brutality of all sides in this disgusting conflict. Dennis Quaid was outstanding in his portrayal of 'Guy', a man driven mad and homicidal by the murder of his wife in an Islamic terrorist bombing who wages his own dreadful personal war against Muslims until, as the film unfolds, he starts to realise that his Bosnian Serb co-belligerents are every bit as criminal as the murderers of his wife, and that he himself is just as bad as either.

The awful turning point in the film is when Guy's Bosnian Serb comrade, a vile creature called Goran, very well played by Sergei Trifunivic, blames a Serb girl (Natasha Kinski) for having been raped and impregnated by the Muslim enemy, savagely beats her to induce premature labour, then, horrendously, takes up a firing position to execute her baby as it is being born. Quaid watches this incredible display with a deadly calm face, then, as the baby is being born, he turns Goran into mincemeat with a full clip of machinegun fire by way of expressing his opinion. By a most ghastly chain of events, he is now the baby's saviour and has also started to turn back into a human being just as the rest of the world has become hopelessly depraved.

The message of then film is utterly bleak, yet not entirely without hope. Nearly all the decent people die, but Guy's story is a strange one of redemption. At the end, he is heartbroken, contemplating the ruins of his own life which he himself has crashed beyond recall. Only death or life in prison without parole can lie ahead of him. But he has saved the baby, and the comfort of this is real.

Saviour is sad and savage and a first class war movie, emphasising the inhumanity of man against man. It shocked the hell out of me.

I actually watched this again last night and it is indeed a powerful and compelling film that fully displays the atrocity of war and the senseless hate that man can be capable of. A very good film and certainly in the top bracket where such material is displayed 'warts and all'.

Next on the list is 'Martyrs' which I haven't seen yet but have been reliably informed that it's an intelligent although utterly disturbing experience to watch. I must be a masochist...

There are two movies that made my skin crawl: Defiance of Good (X) and Irreversible: The most disturbing movie ever made, hands down. The shocker at the climax of the opening segment made my jaw hit the floor. As for the rest I can watch the majority of the films listed over and over again. Personally, I prefer SCHRAMM to Henry, although the latter is a fun view.
