How many here, have actually seen...?

A Serbian Film?

It's viewed as pretty controversial on account of some of the content, implied or otherwise - to the point there seems to be a large portion of people completely unwilling to even watch it.

I saw it a year or two back, downloaded - far as I know it's not available for purchase here.

Now, it's disturbing, a little sickening, but also quite chilling and gruesome in both the ideas raised, and the overall storyline and motivation of the "villains" and how/why they set things up.
I thought it was very atmospheric, and an actually horrific film, I actually don't see that very much.

The plot wasn't overly strong, but serviceable.
But yeah overall the mood, the score, the atmosphere, and the lasting impression this film left with me immediately after watching and even now a couple of years later, makes it a rather big accomplishment in my book. It made me feel icky.
It ticks all the boxes for me for what I want in horror quite well though.

For those that haven't seen it on account of the content they've heard about.
We all know what it was, no need to bring it up.
All I can say is that content is more implied that anything, with a very brief flash of something that looks quite unrealistic.
I feel like this scene was purely added for shock value and to be talked about...so they succeeded there, but maybe also turned a few people from their creation with it. I'll just say, they don't linger on the scene and it only really serves a feeling of malice towards the villains.
My suggestion is check the movie out all the same.
I say this, knowing that I haven't wanted to watch it since...very few movies effect me this way, but I feel like therein lies some of the value of the experience.


So how many people here have seen it? Your thoughts?
Thoughts from those who haven't/wont?

For my take, I find things like cannibal holocaust with the animal deaths etc a little more disturbing.
Both, but one more than the other.
