Review of Begotten (1991) by Brett C — 07 Aug 2007

This is quite possibly the most disgusting, disturbing thing I have ever watched. It's also quite possibly one of the most wretched things I've ever watched. Despite only being a little over an hour in length, it still drags on too damn long with no dialogue or music and very little sound, and yet, due to the stark, bleak, black and white visuals with the contrast jacked up, and because of the shocking things that happen, you just can't look away! I'm not even going to attempt to make sense of it.

It's like a slow, violent, almost Biblical nightmare burned straight from a horribly drugged mind onto film. I think a piece of my brain fell off...
