Yeah, I always found the folks claiming it was some metaphorical bs full of their own hot air.

I honestly don't know how it got the spot on the list it did he was literally putting in the most disturbing things imaginable in it

It’s just plain fucking disgusting

@@sonicroachdoggjrraven3263 not to mention Serbian filmmakers allegedly complained the film actually made it harder for them to get to their films made. I don’t care what “merit” that film claims to have, sticking in what it did for shock value it makes so no one but weirdos actively want to watch it and degrades whatever “message” it had.

Not even close lol. It's not even the most disturbing Serbian film (although I found NEITHER even the slightest bit disturbing...I'd say The Life and Death of a Porno Gang" is maybe worse than A Serbian Film")

You don't have to worry, really, she only gets as far as like tier 3 in this video - the emotionally scarring stuff will be in the next video.

Not an iceberg KZfaqr but SpookyRice does a REALLY good job doing breakdowns of each disturbing movie individually

Glad to know I'm not the only one who was in love with it - May is truly wonderful for us weirdos ❤️

I mean, it's heavily based on truth. I don't know if I could call it propaganda at that point

@Chase Miller The stories of the different people involved matched up and remained consistent

@@loganpharis6747 so you're saying that dude who committed that murder was actually possessed and not just insane

@@zhitchcresttail3387 I was talking about the first Conjuring movie, I haven't looked into the claims of the most recent one

@@loganpharis6747 the second one is decently accurate if you ignore the Christian Avengers bullshittery around the Warrens since they were there for like a day. Otherwise it's pretty accurate to the experience of the family, or at least what the reported. But that was corroborated by paranormal experts, neighbors and a police officer.

LOL maybe it could be a thing like AN ANNABELLE? I can't stop thinking about this now.

"cEnSoReD".... Between cEnSoReD and CENSORED... Where's the line? And more importantly, who draws it? Well you can pretty much do away with 95% of the iceberg, and a lot, a lot, a lot of other sh!t... Violence in video games?! Consequences? So why is it acceptable in one art form and not another? Better jail everyone involved in all those films.. It's Elmo time for you buddy... Is this 1980s Satanic Panic Born Again Christian time or 2020 oKiE wOkiE o'clock? I've seen both and I can say... Surprisingly alike... You should be reporting this video rather than watching it, right? Help out society??.. Hold up though, im still watching it, i got distracted by this comment... So Tosh is smart and he's funny but he's towing the line to save his own skin, he's dick joke edgy. Probly scared an old girlfriend is gonna try to put him up on a MeToo for clout. He's been in show biz long enough to know what buttons he can push and which ones he can't. Entertainment is a job like any other, you gotta act right to get ahead, be a company man. I'll see your Tosh and I'll raise you a Lennon and a Hicks... "And you think you're so clever and classless and free, but you're still fu(king peasants as far as I can see." "I'm tired of this back slapping, 'Aren't humanity neat?' bullsh!t. We're a virus with shoes." Oh goodness... I'm sorry.... I got worked up... I'm need to snuggle with my social anxiety pig 🐖.... Oink! Everyone needs to die inside just a little bit, its part of LIFE... so you know what part is the real you and what parts are bullsh!t... So you have something to rise above... And so when you "eMpAtHiZe" with people you actually feel for them instead of just acting like you feel sorry for them. Censorship is not compassion. Censorship is willful and enforced ignorance. Open dialogue, communication, is intelligence, is compassionate. Censorship is suffocation, censorship is violence. Consequences right?... Like when MLK pissed off that guy and he went up and shot him? Or when JFK got assassinated?? "cOnSeQuEnCeS" When are people going to get over making life miserable for each other? I see no end in sight. My pig is lonely.

@@thegreatsiberianitch who tf are u lmao

personally even tho i find daniel tosh's humor pretty unfunny (not cuz its PrObLeMaTiC just dont find him funny) but generally it seems like his heart is in the right place. same for a lot of very edgy "insult" comedians too surprisingly enough

@@sawdustanddiamonds99 A Serpent 🐍, a Fire 🔥 and a Void!!! 💀

@@thegreatsiberianitch bro what are you on, you wrote this novel just to defend a man that doesn't give 2 shits abt u

At least MCU movies are only propaganda in the implicit sense, or when they’re given money and resources by the pentagon. The Conjuring franchise was written with the explicit intention of lionizing two abusive frauds, and getting people to turn to Jesus.

Insidious is terrifying if you get sleep paralysis 😬

@@JM-yx4ew Everything’s terrifying if you have sleep paralysis.

wow that is the most accurate thing ive heard in a while

@@theoneandonlymichaelmccormick so are Wan et al Christian??

Thank you for this! I was about to type out a similar explanation, so I appreciate you doing so.

Yes. I agree it needs to be a lot lower on the list as it's really more of a *"gets under your skin"* kind of scary because once you understand it, the movie might be more disturbing to the viewers who have been working through their own traumas.

Midori is super disturbing but it's also has a definite kind of humanity in my opinion. How Midori got attached to her terrible "found family" of carnies is the part that haunts me, personally, like that girl who abused her waving goodbye and seeming genuinely attached to Midori and vice versa. Like an abusive family or community is the best some people get... it made me sympathize a bit with all these monstrous assholes who were abusing Midori, because they were abused too (not that it made their actions right in any way). It's just very sad. I didn't know it was the director working through his trauma. That makes sense, thanks for mentioning that.

It needs to be higher up on the list because it's not bad at all

@@briantalbot7929 Even if you personally don't find it upsetting, which I suppose I can understand in theory, it's still definitely in the category of "things you're only likely to see if you're either really into weird anime or really into fucked up movies."

There are so many great movies that aren’t on the list at all so that they could make several tiers of like… violent pornos? Cool cool!

*gets to the end of Level 1* *removes Levels 2 and 3 from my Watch Next list*

It's an adaptation of a graphic novel by the infamous ero-guro artist Suehiro Maruo and on the series of kamishibai (paper play) melodramas from the '40s and '50s upon which that manga is based, as well as heavily informed by the director's own memories of being horribly bullied as a child. So it's a mix of various things, some clearly very heightened (Maruo's elegantly framed and deeply morbid neo-Surrealist artwork) and others much more grounded and tragic (Harada's own traumatic experiences during the postwar years). It's… a tough sit.

@Joey Van hellsing Partly, but like I said, it's influenced by different sources with different perspectives. There isn't one sole single meaning.

but.. thats what she said???

@@aidacelicaguilar7927 My response to this keeps getting filtered out for some reason, but that's not really what she said, she said something more about the film crew being stupid and blundering into danger rather than being dangerous themselves.

There are other exploitation movies ("mondo" movies) in lower tiers where she explains further how Cannibal Holocaust is a response/criticism to these, which are unarguably extremely racist. Basically everyone here is agreeing :P

@@simonbolivar6169 yes, I was happy to see the more proper processing and acknowledgment of its existence down there

@@aidacelicaguilar7927 I think, as prom says, that regardless of how racist the movie is, the western crew does not so much "stupidly bumble" as walk in, stage a ritual murder, rape people in the population, and get killed as revenge. The "they're just stupid, what did they think would happen" is what she says in this video, but it's nice to hear she talked more about it, and she does end on the main, boiled down version of proms reading: "what if the film crew are the real cannibals?"

The events of the film didn't actually happen though right

@@chumblewumble2422 It's fictional but based on events like it that were all too common. There's been a lot written about the film and its writer and I think it's very important to understand at the least. The film is really visceral and I don't know that I would recommend it if you don't want to watch it, but you should definitely read about it.

@@chumblewumble2422 Well, I'm pretty sure they've happened somewhere, sometime. If nothing else, allegedly some similar shit (no pun intended) was going on in a certain french aristocrat's castle. But about fascist italy, I don't know.

Fascism in Lega Nord?? Come on man 😂😂😂😂😂

What?!

Huhh

oddly enough random iceberg videos are how ive found a ton of smaller creators recently

Clockwork is a good normiecore movie, also super cool book. Loved the way he toyed with language as a vector of culture

They're also both dead so there's that. LOL. Still waiting on Pat 'disgusting piece of shit' Robertson & Joel 'vile ripoff scumbag' Osteen to join them. Benny Hinn & Jim Bakker can both go too.

Holy shit I must have dyslexia or something, I read “Pat Robertson” and was like “Oh no, what did Robert Pattinson do?? :( “

@@madeofmeats lol whew nope. He's fine.

It really bothered me too. Made me anxious for days.

Tetsuo: The Iron Man contains both significant violence and overtly sexual content.

@@theoneandonlymichaelmccormick With all the exploitation films I’ve been seeing, it brainwashes me into thinking that Tetsuo Iron Man is not particularly pornographic and gory. My mistake lolol

Yeah, I feel like ppl don't get that its drama/arthouse and not like a genre film aka horror... And it's become a bit of a novelty for so called "normies" even though its a straight pure cinema... Pasolini's other films are fucking great too specifically Arabians nights

I almost feel like disturbing films and horror/scary movies should be in different categories tbh I’ve been like disgusted and exhausted and moved by disturbing films but they don’t make me like check under my bed before I got to sleep, ya know? Like they aren’t regular scary they are more existential. Or frankly just gross lol

Yeah, I was so scared of watching this film and thought it would be a good idea to read the book first, but the book is out of this world way more fucked up than the movie tbh

Is there anyone who said it was scary?

@@danielvandam I think there was a weird misconception going around online specifically in film lists of so-called most disturbing films ever because I've seen lists with Salo and Cannibal Holocaust, they usually mix in a Serbian film into the bunch. Ppl misconstrued disturbing and horror as the same thing. These lists of films weren't usually created for educational purposes and they weren't aimed at cinephiles, but usually the hegemony, and because of that they were usually clickbait. So now you have all these ppl watching Salo just to say they saw it... and dare I say without really experienceing it as actual cinema. At least that's a partial reason.

Completely agree. And if I can add, as a male survivor of sexual assault, it is absolutely WONDERFUL when I see people dismiss the scene where the dude literally gets drugged, gang raped, and then runs away horrified after the fact as him just having sex. Just great. Cool. Cool cool cool.

Midsommar is mostly a "break up" movie, the director has said as much. So she is pretty much on the money about the movie.

@@simonbolivar6169 I think it’s a little more ambiguous than that, but I totally get that perspective. But I think it’s more about a breakup being taken advantage of by a cult, so a combination of the two. Like how Hereditary is a child death tragedy that gets taken advantage of by a demon and its worshippers. In Midsommar, I pick up much more on the cult theme partly because real cults do take advantage of trauma and relationship issues, making them worse while misguiding you into thinking it’s better, hence the protagonist’s joy in the end. But that’s just my interpretation of it. I just think it’s more nuanced than how May put it in this video, and she even clarifies it in the next one that she’s aware there’s more to it than that.

Christian was raped and she was just like "drugs made him want to have lotsa da sex." I loved the video but that part did not sit well with me...

@@Ergoperidot honestly, it's a take I've seen in most Midsommar reviews or discussions, where they minimize his rape or discount it entirely, so I'm not entirely surprised. It's just disappointing as hell to see May do the same thing.

I love them all. The Horror Geek is so friendly, I really appreciate that he takes the time to interact with so many commenters.

I hope they were careful with the brains and spine, because that's a surefire way to get prion diseases

@@ashergibson9969 relatively certain that they ate their human well done. Now the Fore tribe of Papua New Guinea specifically ate the brains and developed kuru, would die from it, and then the cycle would start over. Interestingly, there is currently research showing that members of this tribe may have developed some immunity to prions due to how long this practice was taking place. So to ammend my previous comment, cultural relativism should include space for being critical of practices that are clearly harmful within the practicing group, while understanding reasoning. Best example of taboo in one culture that could be either positive or negative depending on how it's practiced: cannibalism; Fore vs Wari.

lmfao

I can confirm both points. I tried to show it to a couple of friends, and we had to stop the film about 20 minutes in, since The Things That Happen Around The 20 Minute Mark was clearly too much for one of them. I have apologised to the friend in question ever since. (Tetsuo is a wild, violent and hyper-kinetic experience, and, demonstrably, not suitable for everyone. I'm personally fascinated with how the director, Shinya Tsukamoto, films movement - there's an angry, intensive, frenetic, unstoppable energy to the way he shoots Tetsuo, or the boxing scenes in Tokyo Fist, or the action in Bullet Ballet).

It's legit awesome, do recommend

I showed it to a friend of mine while they were high out of their mind, and I don’t think they’ve forgiven me since.

@Joey Van hellsing Fortunately, they only had weed. But they had a LOOOOOOOT of weed.
