A Serbian Film - Movie Review - "Newborn Porn?!?!?!" - SICKorSHIT - Dans Verdict

What films do you think of when I say the phrase "extreme cinema"? Ask the average film fan and he/she will say such titles as "The Human Centipede" or "The Last House On The Left". Ask a horror fan and they may say such titles as "Inside" or "Audition". But ask me, and I will say "A Serbian Film".


--- WARNING --- The content talked about is extremely disturbing!


Synopsis of A Serbian Film: In Serbia, the retired porn star Milos is married with his beloved wife Marija and they have a little son, Peter, that is their pride and joy. The family is facing financial difficulties, but out of the blue, Milos is contacted by the porn actress Lejla that offers him a job opportunity in an art film. Milos is introduced to the director Vukmir that offers a millionaire contract to Milos to act in a film. However, Vukmir neither show the screenplay nor tell the story to Milos. Milos discuss the proposal with Marija and he signs the contract. But sooner he finds that Vukmir and his crew are involved in sick snuff films of pedophilia, necrophilia and torture and there is no way back to him and maybe it is too late to protect his family.

On hearing about this sick twisted film I thought to myself "I must watch this!". After thinking that i then realized how disturbed I must be to want to watch a movie where a newborn baby is molested, i then proceeded to contemplate what my life had come to. After crying in my darkened room I then proceeded to attain the so called "Sickest film ever made" and shortly after sat down...waiting to be unsettled. 


Before I get into the gritty nastiness of this movie I'm just going to build the tension by talking about the acting and cinematography. The acting was fantastic, Srdjan Todorovic did a great job as Milos, I have a lot of respect  him to take on such a dark and powerful role and I believe it takes a great actor to make people feel sorry for a character doing these disgusting deeds. The film centered around Milos so other actors didn't get the chance to display their acting abilities but from what I saw, both Sergej Trifunovic and Jelena Gavrilovic did a brilliant job. 




For a film made for the soul purpose to shock, the film is shot beautifully, the film has a lot of atmosphere and has a beautiful sound track, the lighting and camera angles are amazing and almost puts you in a dream like state.


Now, here it comes, the ultimate question. Is this the most disturbing film ever made? My answer is .....most certainly...




Here is a run through of the 4 most graphic/disturbing scenes portrayed in this film...(here comes the funny part of this review)


Spoilers! Spoilers! Spoilers! Spoilers!


THE "NEWBORN BABY" SCENE = Bloody hell! This scene is bloody mental! This scene is definatly the most uncomfortable scene in movie history. We see a woman give birth to a young child, a cunt of a human being then proceeds to rape the baby. Simples!. Even though i felt completely disgusted i did chuckle when the man slaps the babies bottom with a cheeky look on his face....................yep, I'm going to hell.........


THE "UNDER THE BLANKET" SCENE = This scene really disturbed me. We witness Milos go into a room where we see two figures under white blankets (we do not know who are under these blankets). Milos and his brother then proceed to rape these to people. Milo then discovers its his very young son (who is approximately 5 years old) and his beloved wife! Milos is sodomizing his son! Milos's brother is raping his wife! You will not find a scene like this in an ordinary film! A Serbian Film is a truly extraordinary film! I don't know about you but the millisecond i realized i was raping my son i would withdraw my hopefully un-erect penis immediately! But Milos gives a few more thrusts then just stands there with his penis resting inside his son!!! WTF!!! I don't think Milos understood the  seriousness of the situation....to be fair....the past few days he had been up to his eyeballs on horse viagra. Shortly after comes the "cock in the eye socket scene"...
The Scene


THE "COCK IN THE EYE SOCKET" SCENE = This scene is fantastic, throughout the whole film we see poor Milos being pushed around by a complete wanker with one eye (serves him right!) and I thoroughly enjoyed seeing Milos putting his huge warm throbbing blood covered boner in this guys eye, destroying his brain. They should defiantly make a superhero comic about Milos, i cant think of a witty enough name to call him, but The Adventures Of Bonerman seems to fit the part. "The Adventures Of Bonerman" trademark SICKorSHIT 2012 


THE ENDING = This ending resembles such films as "The Strangers" or "The Mist" where it is extremely depressing (obviously this ending is the most extreme). Due to the not-so-happy ending, the family decide to all shoot themselves. Milos, his son and his wife (all dead) lay on a bed covered in blood, we see three men with a camera in the room with them, the next few words of dialogue literally made me scream out loud "Jesus Christ!".....the only way to find out what he says is to watch the film........only joking, I'm not that mean, he says..."Come on, start with the little one"...we then see one man unzip his trousers...YAY! 




Phew! Now that grulling experience is over i will now give the film a score! I am going to score this film on three separate levels:


- 10/10 - for gore and how much it disturbed me


- 7/10 - for the film in general


- 10/10 - the fact its pushing cinema into a new extreme


Overall this movie is SICK in every sense of the bloody word! Many people who are easily offended will defiantly say this film is SHIT but this film isn't for them.


If you like fucked up shit, defiantly check out this film!

Martyrs - Movie Review - Bloodily Brutally Sickening! - SICKorSHIT - Dans Verdict

After reviewing High Tension I (Daniel) decided to stick to the theme of French horror. Today I will be reviewing the abusive shocker by Pascal Lauger "Martyrs".


This is a film about revenge. A girl was abused for years as a minor and years later takes revenge. Her best friend (may be seen as lesbian lover) then has to dispose of the bodies and while doing so discovers a secret underground torture liar.

This film started off very slow with the horror elements in the background but then later came very apparent. The nature of this movie is highly disturbing and the movie has a very philisophical theme to it basing itself around "Martyrs".

 The scenes of abuse throughout this movie are very distressing from the beating of a very young child to the brutal  feeding of crap to older women, this is a nice seg-way to the gore. The gore in this film is fantastic with some nail-biting scenes and some full-on shocker moments such as a skinned woman!.



The acting was phenomenal, some of the greatest acting in foreign horror since 2007s REC, not to mention the two actresses are visually stunning without having an overly sexual appeal like most female actors in horror.



 Some people may be phased by this film being French, but in my opinion it doesn't matter as there is hardly any speech and when there is speech...it sounds fucking sexy in french!



The ending to this movie is amazing, I truly believe it to be a genius bit of film making. At first it seems like a simple ending but then when researched online I found the ending to be tremendous. (I will discuss what I found in the spoilers later)



This film gets a A- from me and I truly believe everyone should check it out, especially if you're a fan of modern foreign horror and you like a bit more thinking behind you're films. 




Check out the spoilers below and check us out on






SPOILERS SPOILERS SPOILERS!!!

At the end of the movie we witness Madamoiselle shoot herself. There are many explanations for this and I have found my favorite. I like this one because it encapsulates the meaning of the word "Martyrs" and really hits me hard and makes me appriate the work put into this gem of a film! Here it is..






"Anna knows, just like the viewer knows, that discovering the existence of the afterlife is Mademoiselle's life work, so important to her and the cult that they are willing to do anything.
The beauty of the movie (which some viewers have completely missed), is that when Anna whispers to Mademoiselle, we think Mademoiselle wins. We think Mademoiselle gets what she wants. We think Mademoiselle is going to tell the glorious news to the gathering cult. And we think Anna has been reduced to nothing more than a used, mindless, unthinking tool.
But then comes the twist: "Keep doubting...bang!"
And we realize we were wrong.
Anna purposely lied to Mademoiselle and said there was no afterlife, she saw nothing. It is the one and only thing that Anna could do that would destroy Mademoiselle. Despite her pain throughout the ruined shell of her body, she retained enough strength and humanity in her mind to use the one and only chance she had.
Anna was the first to speak, and what she spoke convinced Mademoiselle that there was nothing, that her entire life was a futile, evil quest for nothing. Mademoiselle gave up, overcome with guilt and worthlessness, and killed herself.
The cult departs, defeated. Anna wins, the Martyr sacrificed and not one other girl will ever be tortured. With a simple whisper she destroyed her captors, finally avenged her friend, and saved countless girls from falling into the same fate. There is some foreshadowing of this in the very beginning of the movie, when young Anna tells the doctors she knows she is there to help Lucie, and to find the bad people who hurt her.
It is this unexpected display of strength, loyalty, endurance and sacrifice of Anna, a true martyr, that elevates the movie to a level far above the horror genre."
