A Serbian Film. 2010.

A Serbian Film (Serbian: Српски филм / Srpski film) is a 2010 Serbian horror film and the first feature film directed by Srđan Spasojević. It tells the story of a down-on-his-luck porn star who agrees to participate in an “art film”, only to discover that he has been drafted into a snuff film. (wiki)

Well I finally decided to watch the much hyped gore-fest that is A Serbian film. Was I shocked, disgusted, surprised, depressed, troubled, confused and nauseated? In a word, Yes. The film explores the seedy and soul-less underworld of the hardcore pornography industry, from a Serbian perspective. I know that sounds like a film that everyone would want to watch right? Wrong. There is a lot a of tough subject matter portrayed in the film and I think all but the most serious fans of hardcore shock horror will find it rather offensive. A Serbian Film is loaded with full frontal nudity, explicit sexual scenes, extreme gore and brutal violence. Total shock and awe! There are images contained in the flick that I don’t think I will ever forget for the rest of my life. Seriously. Watch this nasty nasty film at your own peril. You’ve been warned.

I have read alot of comics in my day, usually along the extreme/strange line. This brings me to the Crossed series; absolute and complete violent madness and brutality here! It is described as an adult entertainment comic not to be confused with pornography at all, though there are alot of sexual scenes. I have read all of the Crossed series numerous times and am still shocked as I turn each blood soaked page. For fans of brutal horror whether in print or on film this is a definite must read. I would recommend starting with Ennis’ original Crossed story line but it doesn’t really matter which series to start with. A free web series of Crossed is available here courtesy of Avatar Press.
