It takes a lot to offend me and I did find it disturbing. In particular it's unnecessarily degrading towards women. It's definitely not for everyone. Watch it and draw your own conclusion.

Maybe it's only cause i was half paying attention but wtf was that about?

It looked like a girl who escaped her captors to go back and kill them (revenge flick) , then there were like mutated/zombie looking chicks (bio project/resident evil??)

I'm so confused... I'm going to have to watch this again and not just pay half attention. :rofl:

It is supposed to be degrading towards women, since the "boss lady" believes only woman under stress can be enlightened.

If i could go back in time and not watch this movie, i'd be a happier person today.

Well now i'm intrigued and have to watch this :(

If I could go back in time and unwatch a movie it would be August Underground's Mordum... only movie to ever make me want to throw up. I know it's fake and it's very poorly done but shit was that movie fucked up. Basically a movie that is supposed to look like serial killers killing people... it's been YEARS since i've seen it and didnt watch the full thing just skipped to different parts since i felt awkward watching it... main scene that impacted me and made me turn it off was when one of the guys is fucking a dead CHILD in a bathtub and the female serial killer pets the dead kids head and says "Now you never have to grow up"

Honestly shut it down there , said fuck this, and formatted my harddrive , not even kidding lol.

Seems like an addition to the latest movie trend of legal "snuff".

Didn't like it too much.

It wasn't exactly disturbing near the end but I was getting a bit uncomfortable. There are scenes in other movies that make me uncomfortable but sometimes the stories can keep me hanging in there. This movie didn't do it for me, it felt sort of unnecessary.

ya seen it on netflix a few months back.. this movie will make you cringe.. LoL

[finboy]

Shit movie imo

Personally, I thought it was really good. Definitely disturbing, but I enjoyed it.

That said, I don't want to watch it a second time.

The reason I watched it in the first place was because of this review I saw online somewhere


It's Rainbow Brite and the Attack of the Care Bears!
Pascal Laugier's masterpiece strips away the trite blood and gore of traditional horror films, or rather, uses them correctly, as metaphors for the darkest parts of humanity.
You will find no evil creatures skittering around in the cellar, no ghoulish demons creeping around in the dark, no bearded supernatural beings fluttering about in the sky, no cartoonish caricatures of the true demons and monsters: the humans all around us.
This fine French film, in the spirit of Mel Gibson's infamous torture-porn flick "The Passion of the Christ" - except with much cuter and more cuddly 'martyrs' - instead tells the riveting story of Anna (Rainbow) and pal Lucie (Moonglow), and the secret group of wayward christian Care Bear soldiers who help them realize that Hell is not only other people, but, fundamentally, Hell is being human, being trapped in this carnal realm we call 'reality.'
Like two adorable little baby seal pups, Anna and Lucie are indoctrinated by the Care Bears, quickly learning that our very humanity is a sin that traps us in our awkward, fleshy bodies, and that it must be purged, stripped away in order for one to be 'saved' and achieve glorious rapture.
For Lucie it is too late, for she has sinned too much, but Anna, under the caring tutelage of the Care Bears, embarks on an ascetic journey towards enlightenment. Bound by the chains of religion, swallowing the repulsive pabulum of her Savior, transmogrifying through her suffering and shedding her earthly skin, Anna strives to achieve the bliss of "The Passion," by enduring the cascading cruelty and pain only humans can provide, for it is only by transcending Hell that one can truly achieve enlightenment.
In this respect the film is also reminiscent of Carl Dreyer's "The Passion of Joan of Arc," but since the Care Bears are all, y'know, so 'caring' and stuff, Anna's 'martyrdom' is rather a travesty forced upon her, a divine, psychic, spiritual rape. Amen!
