Seeing an actual snuff film is more disturbing than anything in this thread though. The most disturbing, even more than anything that has come out of the middle east, was one Russian decapitation from the Chechen Wars that I saw off of Kazaa. Maybe I think it's the worst because it was my first. It's probably the entire reason I watch all of these twisted films. Trying to get that level of just pure shock back.
All real videos are going to be worse then any fictional film you'll see, simply because you know the fictional films are staged, and you have that comfort level that people will by default fall back on (wow, this is bad, but I know it's not real). Watching those videos from the middle east offer no such comfort, you know you're watching the final moments of a human beings life, being stolen by another human being, you're watching the worst aspect of real life, and you know that it's taking place in this very world that we live in, not a fantasy projection of our world.
Also, just a little tidbit, those videos don't qualify as snuff, a snuff film is a film that shows the death of a person for monetary gain. There's actually never been a real snuff film ever found, or so they say.
Agreed, but the monetary gain part is a technicality for the Russuian snuff, they used to show them on prime time t.v...if no snuff film has ever been found, that's about as close as it will get.
Want to know something funny? I've never heard of a SINGLE one of those movies!
Are they foreign or just not popular enough to make it into theater or something?
All are also pretty old, except for August Underground, which was made a few years ago. Audition is a little less then 10 years old.
Plus, I don't think any of them had large theatrical releases when they were released.
Stil, all those he mentioned are among the quintessential of the video nasties, those are the worst of the worst, the baddest of the baddest, and the most depraved of the depraved.
Salo getting the honor of being banned the most I think, being banned in 6 countries at one point.
Italy, Australia, Finland, United Kingdom, New Zealand, Norway.
It's been unbanned since, but still. Impressive track history.
Also, I saw Henry: Portrait of a Serial Killer, and it's very good, but several other movies based on real serial killers are just as good. Gacy, Dahmer, Ted Bundy just to name a few. They've all been good.
I didn't think any of those were nearly as good as Henry. None were nearly as well made, disturbing, shocking, or believable as Henry. Plus Micheal Rooker was amazing in the film. Plus you gotta remember that Henry was made a full 20 years before those other films, that obviously borrowed a lot of elements from it.
The family murder scene is one of the most legendary, infamous and effective scenes in horror cinema.
Out of those that you mentioned, I thought Ted Bundy was the best, but still, no where near as strong as Henry, IMO.
ha, yea, I didn't realize it was made 20 years prior to those. That sets it at a different standard then. It's still such an effective movie 20 years later and just as good if not better than more recent serial killer movies.
And the family murder scene really was ****ed up 3 ways from Sunday.
Alrighty, just saw August Underground's Mordem. I'm glad I saw it for free. I wouldn't pay to see this movie. I guess that would go along with the whole 'home movie' theme. Who pays for home movies?
Anyway, it's...mediocre quality at best. It's sick, it's twisted, and it's disturbing...if you couldn't tell that it's fake at times.
There are scenes where the victims are supposed to be crying and you actually hear them laughing. I suppose because it's so ridiculously over the top that it's funny. The dialogue is laughable and gives it away.
However, if it didn't look so fake at certain points, it'd definitly be top 5 most disturbing film material. A+ for special effects though.
the crazy chick in it could be hot if the camera stayed still and she got rid of all the extra makeup and crappy 'goth' jewelery.
I hear the first August Underground is waaayy better though, much more real and a larger impact. I gotta find it.

Just saw a film called "Aftermath" by Nacho Cerda.
It's disgusting for the sake of being disgusting. It's about a mortitician who is also a necrophiliac.
So basically the plot is he cuts open a dead body, plays with the organs, then screws it in a huge bloody mess, takes pictures of everything, cleans up, feeds the heart to his dog.
Yeah If You're Really A Sick... Well You Know What Watch ºÚÌ«Ñô 731 It's Horrible, A Little Cat Gets Eaten By a Whole Bunch Of Rats And It Shows Autopsy Footage Of A Little Boy. Thats Gross With A Capital G In My Book. Eeeew
That doesn't look like Chinese. That looks like gibberish. I don't think the forum allows for Chinese characters.
It just confuses people and then when they look for the movie, they don't get anything because it looks like scribbles. Writing in English just makes things a whole lot easier.
