Insights
Review Summary
Pros: oppressive, unsettling atmosphere; bold transgressive approach; striking visuals at times | Cons: extreme cruelty content; thin, confusing story; very long and tedious
Will You Like This?
You might like this if you seek boundary-pushing, nihilistic extreme horror more focused on decay and provocation than plot, similar to Cannibal or Metamorphosis; Not for you if explicit cruelty, sexual violence, or aimless pacing are dealbreakers.

This is what do you get when you've got a pretentious movie maker who wishes to cross every single taboo off the list in an attempt to make an edgy movie while being "artistic" and "profound". This movie has everything from actual animal abuse and killing to nudity, abuse, vomit, rape, scat, peeing, torture, mutilation, real sex, eating nasty stuff and even the stuff you thought they'd probably wouldn't do. Not everything is real of course but the killing of animals, sex, drugs and cutting of breasts apparently were. On top of all that it's boring, nonsensical and - I'll state it again - too much. Way, way, way too much. Not only in the depiction of depravity but by actually DOING some of IT and the excruciatingly long playtime. Spare yourself of this film and do something else with the 2h38 this movie takes to end. Knowing it exists is enough, no need to give it views to be honest.
the worst movie I've seen in my life
Boring as fuck. The story was written by a retarded wannabe artist. It’s just trying to be edgy for the sake of being edgy. Wouldn’t recommend watching

4/100 A group of people seclude themselves away in a deserted country castle to indulge in hedonistic perversions and misogynistic depravity. Activities include freely killing animals (non-simulated), surrounding themselves with carcasses, scat and other horrific and violent sexual acts, torturing a girl confined to a wheelchair, all while philosophizing the nature of true freedom. Pornographic, gory, perverse, disgusting, and sick, there are some that will admire this film (it won an award and does have a unique artistic flair) but I hope I never have to meet them. -- DrNostromo.com
