- DirectorPier Paolo PasoliniStarsPaolo BonacelliGiorgio CataldiUberto Paolo QuintavalleIn World War II Italy, four fascist libertines round up nine adolescent boys and girls and subject them to 120 days of physical, mental, and sexual torture.One of the most simultaneously beautiful and ugly films ever made, it's a searing, repulsive, borderline homo-erotic condemnation of facism, based on the notorious tome by The Marquis De Sade.
- DirectorJerami CruiseKilljoyMichael Todd SchneiderStarsCristie WhilesFred VogelMichael Todd SchneiderTwo friends bring along a newcomer to go on a killing spree.The epitome of repugnance. Seething, the film sucks you into a black hole and spits you back out, battered and breathless. The atrocities witnessed in this faux-snuff epic will be burned into your memory. It's like the critic on the poster raves: "I don't reccomend you see this film, I fucking dare you."
- DirectorTakashi MiikeStarsKen'ichi EndôShungiku UchidaKazushi WatanabeA troubled and perverted family find their lives intruded by a mysterious stranger who seems to help find a balance in their disturbing natures.Takashi Miike's ultra-absurd send-up of family reality shows has not lost an ounce of it's ability to disturb. It presents every taboo imaginable: incest, necrophilia, domestic abuse, just to name a few. Seeing Visitor Q is an experience, not soon forgotten.
- DirectorRoger WatkinsStarsRoger WatkinsKen FisherBill SchlageterAfter being released from prison, a young gangster with a chip on his shoulder decides to punish society by making snuff films.One of the most hateful films of it's time, it's also one of the greatest faux-snuff films of all time. Everything comes to a crescendo of graphic mutilation that's just every bit as nihilistic as you might have heard. Truly has to be seen to be beleived.
- DirectorRuggero DeodatoStarsRobert KermanFrancesca CiardiPerry PirkanenDuring a rescue mission into the Amazon rainforest, a professor stumbles across lost film shot by a missing documentary crew.This is the one that will cement itself forever in the annals of confrontational cinema. A seething and spiteful view of the media, western "civilization" and the inhumane nature "documentaries" of the sixties and seventies.
- DirectorMeir ZarchiStarsCamille KeatonEron TaborRichard PaceAn aspiring writer is repeatedly assaulted, humiliated, and left for dead by four men she systematically hunts down to seek revenge.The ultimate rape/revenge movie, equalled only by Irreversible, no matter who you are, I defy you to try to question the actions of the female protagonist.
- DirectorNick PalumboStarsSven GarrettCerina VincentTony ToddA fashion photographer exposes his demented childhood and zooms his evil lens on the oldest profession under the moon, in quite possibly the most notorious serial killer film ever made.Aside from horrible acting and hackneyed plot, the actual acts of violence and degredation present in this film are enough reason to be here on this list.
- DirectorJohn McNaughtonStarsMichael RookerTracy ArnoldTom TowlesArriving in Chicago, Henry moves in with ex-con acquaintance Otis and starts schooling him in the ways of the serial killer.A hauntingly human portrayal of a murderous psychopath, we are forced to follow him amd him alone as we slowly but surely recontimplate our perception of good and evil. This film never fails to leave the viewer shocked, without anything really overtly graphic.
- DirectorGaspar NoéStarsMonica BellucciVincent CasselAlbert DupontelEvents over the course of one traumatic night in Paris unfold in reverse-chronological order as the beautiful Alex is brutally raped and beaten by a stranger in an underpass tunnel.On this list, not simply for it's infamous exhastingly long rape scene, but also for the overall tone of the film. it's unrepentantly nasty, with shots that go on forever, it puts you right there with the characters in the film, every step of the way.
- DirectorDouglas BuckStarsJared BarskyGary BetsworthRay BlandFrom acclaimed director Douglas Buck comes an unflinching, disturbingly beautiful look at the underbelly of American family. Three separate narratives (including the shocking film festival favorite "Cutting Moments" as well as "Home" and "Prologue") combine to create a unique trilogy of life today that will leave you devastating... and begging for more.Douglas Buck's three, incredibly controversial short films paint a nihilistic, grotesque, and unbeleivably tragic portrait of american family life that will never, ever be forgotten. Will have you nearly in tears by it's conclusion.
