20 Most Extreme Horror Films Of All Time

Have you ever sat through a film - usually after you've seen (but ignored) multiple red flags - and been almost as infuriated at yourself as you were by whoever was responsible for the film's creation? This is an example of one of those movies.

Grotesque begins with a sadist capturing a virginal couple on their first date. They awaken gagged, and tied to large sheets of metal. The psychopath tells the couple he wants them to fight to survive, because their will to endure his tortures basically gets him off. If their survival instinct is great enough for him to climax, he promises to let them go. After some nasty torture, he is satisfied, and begins to treat their wounds in a makeshift hospital. However, the experience is far from over, and more relentless suffering proceeds.

If you want brutality, then this movie is for you, but it comes at a cost. There is no character development nor is there even much narrative. Grotesque basically presents the audience with little more than in-your-face violence and exists solely for wallowing in sadism for sadism’s sake.
