That's why I haven't submitted anything.

Although I just recently discovered my rating for Combat Shock is higher than any of my Letterboxd friends. So mabye I AM an edgelord after all?

I remember finding that one unexpectedly hilarious.*Was it intentional? Who cares.*

Honestly the only thing I've retained from it is the worst prosthetic baby in cinema history.

It's really less a prosthetic baby, than a face drawn onto a melted bit of plastic.

Also, a mouth hole convenient for any meagre flower arrangement.

Okay, I had to look up a picture of this baby and share it with all of you (EDIT: crumbsroom beat me to it, but the more, the merrier...right)?

My expression is exactly the same.

Y'all are forgetting the music that sounds like they ripped off "Low Rider". And the fact that the gang members all look like they're from different movies.

To be fair, his performance in Alien Autopsy was much better.

Just to clarify, I am not recommending any of the Rampage films. Just noting that they are disgusting, repulsive and wrong.

Ok. I'd mention :

1) The Taxi movies. Luc Besson bull**** at its worst (sexist, racist, trying oh so hard to look and sound cool, just embarrassing).

2) Salo, of course. No ill intent, but deliberately disturbing representations of dehumanizing sadism in context of fascism. It denounces what it presents though.

3) The whole torture porn genre (Cannibal Holocaust, Saw, Human Centipede, etc) which is a mere exploration of pain, both as an on-screen exorcism of latent fears ("yes ! this is exactly what is not happening to me !") and some juvenile sadistic glee ("hey what if, what if we did something even worse to someone, I have an idea for a film"). The viewer's position in those fantasies is ambiguous.

4) Nazi propaganda. Jud Süss, for instance, or the Leni Riefenstahl odes to fascist values (still fully embraced in various mainstream forms nowadays). By extension, you can decide to set by yourself the threshold of abjection on the vast continuum of propaganda movies debasing whichever minority or otherness to whichever extent, an axis starting from these historical extremes and going to the most accepted ones at the other extreme (the war or vigilante movies which racialist, xenophobic, homophobic or culturalist implications we now tend to forgive or consider hilariously cheesy). Where's the limit ? Somewhere in-between, I guess.

5) The killer inside me is an unsettling movie about an extreme case of manipulative violence and gender dominance. Features a few instances of "Yeah okay got it. The point, though ?".

6) Birth of a Nation, of course.

7) Various modern propaganda films presented as "journalistic" and "neutral", yet transparent platforms for extremist political groups, campaigns, conspiracy groups, religious fundamentalists or white supremacy authors (from D'Souza to Southern). Of course, beyond mere misinformation, evaluating the abjection of it may depend on your own worldview and ideology.

8) Snuff movies, were they a thing for real, or were they like iron maidens ? And if fake, but believed true by the public who enjoyed them, that's still something.

Not wrong, but definitely gets up close and personal with the lead actor in a way that most people would at least be extremely uncomfortable. Regardless of its graphic nature though, a fairly beautiful and sad movie beneath the grime.

Thanks for the recs. I've seen most of them, tho.

Any new recs?

Well, if we're really going to get into disgusting, revolting, and wrong, let's talk Lifetime Channel Originals.

Did you watch Kinjite yet?

Also, I’ll throw in a rec for Through the Looking Glass. Not as rough as the two Phil Prince movies I suggested earlier, and quite a bit more stylish, but still pretty queasy stuff. And I later learned it was funded by a church group!

Sorry, forbidden subjects...

DeadGirl (2008)

Beautiful film not disgusting at all

What's that
Bro, it's not. It's really not.
Watched the scene that was supposed to be wrong. It's very tame and boring stuff. Also, it's very short.

I've seen Through the Looking Glass. It's OK but I can't remember a single thing about it and I watched it in 2019.
