A friend and I had been discussing movies and he mentioned a horror movie I have not heard of before so stupid me googled the sypnosis on Wikipedia and I now feel very sick!

I won't go into it and won't mention the movie incase anyone else feels the need to google (if you are nosey like me [blush)) but like I say I have actually thrown up twice and my mind keeps wandering back to it, he was laughing saying well I should've warned you about that but it's only a movie.

I guess he's right but surely I'm not the only one who gets disturbed by what I can only describe as horrific movies?!

Oh god YADNBU!
My friend watched it and it's haunted her ever since.
I'm a massive horror movie fan but googling that film was enough for me.
Is it even legal?
Ive heard about the human centipede too (from same friend!) but surely it can't be that bad as it was shown on tv a few weeks back?

If it is the one referred to up the thread I did google. Ugh, I think it is best to think of those gruesome films like that as DEEPLY STUPID as opposed to upsetting. Laughably adolescent. Laughably!!! Its like a teenager was trying to shock his parents by swearing or a kid was trying to make a chilli sandwich for his brother - ok rubbish analogies maybe, but it is designed to provoke you so don't let it.

If you find yourself dwelling on it just sternly tell yourself it is DEEPLY STUPID not scary or horrible. It doesn't deserve your upset, it's a STUPID SILLY film about RIDICULOUS happenstances.

Am I helping here? Wink

I wish I wasn't so nosy and hadn't looked :( what sick twisted person would a,make that film and b,watch it?! I like scary films but really cant see anything in the synopsis that suggests it is an 'entertaining' film. I don't know anyone that would want to watch it.

thelittlefriend · 07/06/2011 21:30

oh fuck I just did what you said not to do. fucking google

Rainydaze · 07/06/2011 21:32

Oh, I know exactly what you mean about A Serbian Film. I only read the Wiki entry and felt physically sick. That's never happened to me before.

I don't understand why anyone would want to be in the production crew, let alone act in a film like that.

YADEFINITLYNOTBU!

exoticfruits · 07/06/2011 21:32

You are not over sensitive-I never watch any horror movies.

proudfoot · 07/06/2011 21:33

YANBU I don't even know what films you are talking about but feel somewhat slightly sickened just from this thread!!

Don't understand why anyone would be into horror films at all tbh, shan't google this "human centipede" whatever it is Hmm :S Shock

DreamingOfABump · 07/06/2011 21:34

god, now i want to google! but know it will scar my little yellow bellied brain. will resist.

DingleDangleDiva · 07/06/2011 21:34

Have reported my post with the name in, scared someone even more sensitive to the case matter may read about it.

Okay yes I realise I do sound a bit of a loon but atleast I am not the only one who gets affected like this!

I just assumed because he was 19 and childless that maybe he was'nt as sensitive to the subject as me but no I am just over sensitive. I hold my hands up :o

what is the name of the film tho Confused

lovetheoneyourewith · 07/06/2011 21:36

Well, I read the synopsis for a Serbian film and thought it was vile, but it's only some people's sick IMAGINATION, if that makes you feel any better?

A facebook friend linked to a video about DR Congo and the mass rapes there. A woman was talking about what was done to her husband and her. It was horrifically disturbing, and that was REAL.

Serbian film (ok, I know about the atrocities there) but the film itself, it's not real. It's not worth you wasting your horrors over, in the nicest possible way.

(though why anyone would want to watch any of those kinds of films I dont know)

DingleDangleDiva · 07/06/2011 21:38

Proudfoot I was intrigued by the human centipede but am a wuss (as you can tell) so I googled Human centipede images.

Some of them are actually mildly amusing... 3 people crawling on a lawn in what appears to be adult nappies with a flap for mouths on the back and bandages on their knees.

ooohyouareawfulbutilikeyou · 07/06/2011 21:39

why didnt you stop reading the second it seemed horrible

you sound a bit nutty tbh :)

GypsyMoth · 07/06/2011 21:39

oh i see!!

diggingintheribs · 07/06/2011 21:39

YANBU

what annoys me most is that the director wants us to believe it is all an arty way of showing the brutality of the Serbian regime

er, no it's not, it's a sick freaks imaginings

as lovetheoneyourwith said - truth is far worse than fiction, there is no need to make these vile movies

katvond · 07/06/2011 21:40

Why did I google that? I feel very upset now
How can something like this be made? It's vile

DingleDangleDiva · 07/06/2011 21:44

Oohyouareawful - Worse has been said of me... and yes guilty as charged. I am extremely nosey curious and assumed that it was all somehow going to work out but apparently not Hmm

I am feeling better now I have spoken about it and hopefully my dreams won't be relaying it to me.

Lovetheoneyourwith - Agree truth is so much worse but I think I was more shocked than anything else that people may pay to watch this shit!

And to see it being portrayed as 'art' is sickening.

OP posts:
katvond · 07/06/2011 21:45

It's called Serbian film folks.
I read the plot on wiki as I'm a nosy so and so and I wish I had not, awful snuff type movie involving children how fucking sick.
Thanks OP for bringing it to our attention NOT

But why start a thread about it OP your talking to mothers here not a film club. You knew we'd google it.

wubblybubbly · 07/06/2011 21:48

Neither.

There was a thread about this a while ago and I did google, I wish I hadn't. It's sick and I don't understand why anyone would watch it.

Beer I thought it would he a horror film, horror I can take, necrophilia and peodophillia I can not.
I honestly didn't think id be reading that.
Some sick bastards out there

DingleDangleDiva · 07/06/2011 21:49

Katvond - Yes we know and I did say not to google but you were the first person to ask for the name Confused

Beertricks - I know like I said I did'nt realise they made movies like that, he mentioned it in passing and I don't mind monster horror but that was not expected. So yes I agree.
