10 Intense Movies That Dared You To Sit Through Them
6. PVT Chat
An erotic drama about an a down-on-his luck loser who becomes obsessed with a cam girl was always going to be intense, but even then the polarising PVT Chat still manages to be even more uncomfortable and explicit than many expected.
With shades of the Safdie brothers, we follow the aforementioned man, Jack, as his real life takes a back seat in favour of his devotion to this person he only knows through a screen. His already precarious job of "online blackjack player" starts to get him in bother with his landlord and friends he's promised to win money for, as he pays for more sessions with this woman, Scarlett.
This escalates however when he sees Scarlett - who says she lives in another state - in his neighbourhood in New York one night, completely fracturing the security of the screen that safeguards her sex work.
PVT is grotty, grimy and gives us far too much access to Jack's private time as we watch in explicit detail and length how far his kink goes.
