10 Movies You Can Never Finish
2. A Serbian Film
A Serbian Film is undoubtedly the most controversial and heavily debated entry into the torture porn genre.
It's a deeply upsetting exploitation film in which a porn star, Milos (Srđan Todorović), agrees to one last job, where he'll be paid a large sum to participate in an "art film," provided he ask no questions about the assignment.
On one hand, A Serbian Film is a shameless piece of schlock posing as art: after all, it features a scene where Milos stabs a man in the eye with his erect penis.
But most of the film's violent scenes aren't, in fact, played for laughs - not intentional ones, anyway - and frequently tow an extremely discomforting line, given how often the violence is intermingled with sex.
Yet if seeing a woman decapitated mid-coitus isn't enough to make you nope out, the scene where a newborn baby is raped, after which a pornographer proudly shouts, "Newborn porn!," surely will be.
This isn't a long sit by any means, but it sure as hell feels like it, and needless to say, only the hardiest, edgiest film buffs even bothered sticking around for the entirety.
