20 Most Controversially Violent Films Ever Made

19. Stoic (2009)

20.02.2013stoic Uwe Boll in non video game adaptation shocker! In all seriousness, Stoic is an incredibly violent film that had me watching it behind my hands as the brutality escalates in to nearly unbearable proportions. A group of prisoners are playing poker. For a laugh one of them says the loser should eat a tube of toothpaste. The joke's on him as he loses. His cellmates take the wager dead seriously and force him to eat toothpaste. After that they gang up together on the beleaguered Prisoner (called Mitch) and force him to do every more degrading and disgusting things. They force him to drink urine and faeces filled water and when he vomits, force him to eat his own vomit. They throw urine over him. They kick seven shades of crap out of him. One of the prisoners - Jack - sodomises Mitch after he made a run for the emergency bell. Another prisoner, Harry, takes a broom handle and violently anally rapes Mitch with it, forcing the blood and faeces smeared pole into his face. This orgy of violence ends up with the men staging Mitch's suicide by hanging. They push the button and pretend to be shocked but during questioning the truth comes out and the men are appropriately punished. At least we get to see the men being punished. Watching Mitch's ordeal without any redemption would have been too bleak to bear. Horribly violent, the film follows in the controversial prison drama stakes such as Scum and Oz.

My first film watched was Carrie aged 2 on my dad's knee. Educated at The University of St Andrews and Trinity College Dublin. Fan of Arthouse, Exploitation, Horror, Euro Trash, Giallo, New French Extremism. Weaned at the bosom of a Russ Meyer starlet. The bleaker, artier or sleazier the better!
