#1. A Serbian Film | 2010 | Serbia
Rated NC-17 for extreme aberrant sexual and violent content including explicit dialogue
In Serbia, the retired porn star Milos is married to 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 who offers him a job opportunity in an art film. Milos is introduced to the director Vukmir who offers a millionaire contract to Milos to act in a film.
However, Vukmir neither shows the screenplay nor tells the story to Milos. Milos discusses the proposal with Marija and he signs the contract. But soon he finds that Vukmir and his crew are involved in sick snuff films of paedophilia, necrophilia and torture and there is no way back for him and maybe it is too late to protect his family.
Wow.. that’s a lot to take in isn’t it? Upon its debut on the art film circuit, the film received substantial attention and controversy for its graphic violence and sexual content. The film has been banned in 46 countries including Spain, Australia, New Zealand, Malaysia, Singapore, and Norway, and was temporarily banned from screening in Brazil.
A Serbian Film is without a shadow of a doubt the most disturbing film I have ever viewed. If the synopsis doesn’t get you there, nothing will. This film is not shy about diving into very taboo and very controversial topics and even includes a scene of, I can’t believe I am typing this, the rape of a newborn baby and of a young boy. You got to think, the poorer European countries, are rife with crime, and money goes a long way.
So if you are having hard times and a massive money offer comes your way… How far would you go? This film.. just wow.. if you’re brave enough to watch this disturbing piece of ‘art’ then have at it. Me, I don’t think I will ever watch it again. It’s not a bad film acting wise and it is well shot, but it is just way too much for me.
Thank you for coming along on this trip into the most disturbing horror films I have ever had the..pleasure.. of viewing. Keep your eyes peeled for more horror film lists coming from me and my Friday Fright Fest series!
