10 Movie Scenes That Went Completely Over The Top

9. Execution Via Penis - A Serbian Film

One can seemingly approach A Serbian Film one of two ways: as a rebuke of the state of Serbia post-Milosevic or as a grotesque, torture porn capitalizing on the trend. Most critics fell in the latter spectrum, with one critic calling its sort-of metaphor "specious lip service" in favour of shocking violence.

That said, even those who saw it in a positive light claimed they would never see it again. It's hard to pick a single scene that goes over the top, as this film throws the kitchen sink at the wall and hope it sticks, but the one that stands above others, as it's less offensive to write about, is the execution-via-penis.

After undergoing a series of gruesome trials, our hero, a retired porn star breaks free of his drug-induced torture and slaughters his captors, saving his member for the one-eyed thug. You can fill in the blanks what happens next, as he does.

It's a thoroughly unpleasant and unapologetic experience.

Kenny Hedges is carbon-based. So I suppose a simple top 5 in no order will do: Halloween, Crimes and Misdemeanors, L.A. Confidential, Billy Liar, Blow Out He has his own website - thefilmreal.com - and is always looking for new writers with differing views to broaden the discussion.
