5 Foreign Films That Will Seriously Mess You Up

First off, let me just say this: I am not encouraging or challenging you to watch any of these films. This list is not some contest to see who can endure the most brutal cinema and still have the capacity to sleep at night. No, I am simply writing this list because it needs to exist somewhere. There are certain horror movies from certain foreign countries that just take horror and the concept of terror to whole new levels.

A Serbian Film

Ah, the ever-so infamous A Serbian Film. A movie SO fucked up that there tend to be only two schools of people who see this movie: the people who walk away from it wishing they could bleach their eyes, and the people who sing its praises. For me personally, I am in the first category.

To call this movie anything other than a vile film would be too dishonest. It is a vile film, through and through. Yes, I know this is the part where I am supposed to tell you that the whole movie was made as an allegory for all the awful things the Serbian government allows and perpetrates on its own people, but the truth is, I don’t care. Keep your (thinly) veiled allegories for someone who is into watching a baby get raped. Thankfully, as sick as I am, I am not one of those people.

For those who don’t know, A Serbian Film is about a retired porn star who gets called in and offered a very lucrative amount of money for one final film, so he decides to do it, as he as his family are suffering under hard financial strain. Flash forward a bit and it is a snuff film with all the horrible things you could ever imagine being stuffed into a snuff film (baby rape, incest, and other things that I can’t even write about here). It is the kind of horror movie that turns people off from the genre when they see it.

This is a pretty nasty movie, and unless you are into some sick and deplorable shit, you should walk away from it very fucked up.
