It had a cover that fascinated me as a kid, this bald woman screaming. Never heard of it since I used to stand trembling before it in Azad.

Brewster McCloud Posted October 14, 2018 Share Posted October 14, 2018 Excellent. Thanks, fellows! I'm glad its horribleness wasn't a false memory. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SuperBacon Posted October 14, 2018 Share Posted October 14, 2018 July 22 Harrowing to be honest. It's a good film, but I can't say I enjoyed it, as the scenes on Utoya are just horrible. The lad that plays gunshot victim Viljar is absolutely excellent. But yeah, harrowing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm glad its horribleness wasn't a false memory. It's been going on 30 years since I last watched it, but from memory it wasn't that bad a film. Well, not compared to some of the dross that was released direct to video at the time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thats one of them movies im gonna have to be in the right frame of mind to watch. I expect the same kind of emotions i got watching Elephant back in the day.

Keith Houchen Posted October 14, 2018 Share Posted October 14, 2018 The only emotion to be felt watching Elephant is disgust at yourself for watching one of the worst films ever made. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brewster McCloud Posted October 14, 2018 Share Posted October 14, 2018 If there's one word that'll put me off watching a film it's "harrowing". Unless it's something purposefully OTT like A Serbian Film. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brewster McCloud Posted October 14, 2018 Share Posted October 14, 2018 I can imagine Kermode's review: "I really liked it, although it's not without flaws and there are elements that could be considered problematic..." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brewster McCloud Posted October 14, 2018 Share Posted October 14, 2018 Brawl In Cell Block 99 is great. Vince Vaughn, playing against type as a double 'ard bastard with a shaved head, takes revenge and fights his way in prison up to the big baddie who happens to be Udo bloody Kier. It's noirish and the violence is quite brutal - snapped arms and whatnot. Great stuff, if you like films that harken back to the exploitation era and feature Udo Kier and Don Johnson.

Paul's motivation for making the film is morbidly fascinating - that Brevik's speech is now the everyday talk of the far-right. And to get it on Netflix so a younger audience can decide what kind of world they want to live in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
