A somewhat pretentious artsy film that won't make a lot of sense to you unless you're familiar with pagan symbolism…

Review of Begotten (1991)

By James A (583) on 04 Oct 2012

Does it get stranger than this? If so, let me know, I want to see it. The only film I have ever seen that is in the same league as Eraserhead…

Review of Begotten (1991)

By Hayden L (191) on 05 Dec 2018

Extremely disturbing, frightening, and almost unbearable to watch. True it isn't for all tastes, maybe it is a little weird and depressing…

Review of Begotten (1991)

By Brett H (1,346) on 22 Apr 2014

An experimental film to say the least, that features no dialogue and some of the grossest images/sounds I've ever heard on film…

Review of Begotten (1991)

By Betty S (50) on 02 Dec 2012

Very strange, a reviewer once said when the film came out that it was like a Rorschach test, and it certainly was…

Some legendary stuff right here, virtually no dialogue just pure fucking horror…

Review of Begotten (1991)

By Eriel B (22) on 05 Jan 2011

I had a hard time rating this as I didn't enjoy it and it felt as if it dragged on forever--but I must give it credit for being the very definition…

Review of Begotten (1991)

By Dominic T (42) on 03 Apr 2011

A tedious pseudo intellectual experiment that would have worked better as a short film…

Review of Extraterrestrial (2014)

By Kevin Maher (647) for Times (UK) (2,458) on 04 Dec 2014

There's nothing at all original, engaging, stimulating or thought-provoking (for all of these, see Invasion of the Body Snatchers) within its frames…

Review of Snakes on a Plane (2006)

Review of Cannibal Holocaust (1980)

By Eric Henderson (366) for Slant Magazine (8,298) on 13 Aug 2000

Even the most desensitized, ghoulishly amoral gleaners of deviant cinema can’t just stare down the nastiness on display in Cannibal Holocaust…
