I know its not a sickening film, but 8mm takes me into a world I dont wanna be in but takes me safely out again , a bit to quickly to be harrowing imo.
Had the director keep the viewer in the wold of smut peddlers and extreme porn for the whole film I think it would have been one of the most horrowing films ever made. As we know that world we're being brought into is part of our world. |
If you liked (were disturbed by)
8mm, then I'd highly recommend seeking out the Spanish film
Tesis. Another film about the making of snuff flicks and is very harrowing stuff - well worth tracking down a copy, if you can.
Mute Witness was also another film that took a stab at this subject matter, but it tended to descend into a formulaic stalk and slash flick - but the opening scenes are terrific.
