There is absolutely NO reasonable excuse, and it borders on actual paedophilia.

No reasonable excuse for what?
You sound a bit critical to be honest...actually a lot of you folks do, it's almost as if a person has watched this film and not immediately declared their undying hatred for it, they're considered to be some kind of sick individual.
Personally I take a little offense to this.
It's not as though I went out and desperately searched to get myself a proper copy as soon as I'd seen it.
I saw it. I didn't think it was a bad film.
I would go so far as to say it was well made and effective because through the exposure it gives to these concepts, it did actually evoke certain reactions and feelings - regardless of how negative those feelings may have been, it was an accomplished mission to make the audience feel something.
It doesn't border on anything really...no more does Friday the 13th border on actual murders. It's something depicted in a movie.
Scenes depicting it, yes. Actual, no.
Like, it's either one or the other.
Though obviously that is what it's depicting, and the reason it hasn't had a huge international release - there are laws against depiction of these kinds of things too.
However, it being on the film, does not pedophilia make.
Having watched it and not wanted to protest against the movie and those who made it, does not mean that I feel that these concepts are in any way normal, or alright, or that I would like to see more of the same.
I would, however, watch another movie from the same director out of interest...to see if it's a one-trick kind've deal or thay're actually capable of putting something different together.
There are some things I have a pretty negative reaction to in film.
Joking about rape/murder/abuse, actual animal deaths (which I find much worse than anything in this movie) for the purpose of entertainment, making fun of things like abortion and terminal illness etc.
Obviously people have had a pretty negative reaction to this movie on account of its content.
Though for me a big part of it is the presentation - the subject matter here was treated as dark, disgusting horrible stuff done by antagonists of zero moral compass, and unthinkable things done by a person out of their mind.
It's a poisonous act of villainy - This is the horror that humans can visit upon each other, which in my mind is a pretty scary thing.
Now, I don't really think I've made these points on the basis of intellectual grounds, pseudo or otherwise, nor is it trying to get you convinced that it's actually a great film and you should cut it a break.
It's simply saying what I thought and why, while being mindful enough of the things I say, so that I don't inadvertently attack anyone for their difference of opinion.

I checked out a few scenes from the movie cause I heard lots of people mentioning it to me, and I regretted it. It disturbed me, not a movie for me in the least.

So you've watched evidently the worst scenes in the film, probably two in particular I can think about - and judged the entire movie based on that...unusual, because the really "bad" things on this movie make up perhaps 5% or less.
I mean unless you're under the impression that it's a movie solely about continual baby-rape, incest and sexualised violence...then to be honest, having exposed yourself to the more negative scenes, you've already seen as bad as it gets right?
Each to their own and all, but I'd personally be like "Hm, ok may as well check the rest out", but that's me...I wouldn't want to have to think about it...I don't like unfinished things.
Though, I will say I find it a little bit strange that you would seek these scenes out and only watch those.
Careful, it might get implied that you're not right in the head around these parts.
