A Serbian Film

I recently found out that a new "uncut" version of this sick, twisted, and totally brilliant film had been released. There have been a few "Uncut" versions of this film on DVD and all of those versions have, in fact, been cut heavily... despite the releases being named "A Serbian Film - (Uncut)". But when I saw that the running time on this new version was 104 minutes, I decided to roll the dice and ordered it so that I could finally own a decent copy, and for all intents and purposes, this new version is the best one available so far. Here's what you should know:1.) The film is uncut. That's the main point.... The official release date on the one I ordered was May of 2012, and THAT'S the one you need to buy if you want the truly uncut version of this disturbing film.2.) If you do order this new version, the film will satisfy you (provided that you are a fan...), but you WILL be disappointed with the packaging. I didn't read anything about the packaging before I bought it, and was certainly skeptical when the DVD arrived in a slimline CD jewel case, attached to a DVD-sized piece of cardboard.... When I say "DVD-sized", I mean the horizontal and vertical measurements, NOT the width, which is about half the width of a normal DVD case, made from a cut piece of cardboard.... seriously. The picture on Amazon looks like a normal type of cover if you just glance at it from a distance, but the only art to be found in the packaging is a typical plot description, like the backside of a DVD cover. But the plot description is in fact smaller than a DVD cover, and is merely pasted onto one side of the cardboard cutout. The packaging has all the makings of a bootleg, BUT, at this point, I'm happy to finally have an uncut version on official DVD media.3.) Despite the "bootleg-type packaging", the quality of the film print is impeccable. Quality of the DVD itself is totally good, so don't worry about that.4.) This version of the film is uncut, but the DVD has NO special features whatsoever. You can obtain a digital copy, but you must have or set-up a FlixFling account, then you enter the promo code in the DVD package during the checkout process, and you do NOT have to enter credit card information.5.) I do not understand why Amazon hasn't split the reviews of the various versions of this film into separate review pages.... If ever separate review pages were needed, it would be for fans of this film... so I specifically urge you to buy the same version that I did... the release date of the DVD was in May of 2012.6.) If you have not seen this movie, you need to read some things about it or ask a friend who has seen it to describe some of the content contained in the film. Because, quite frankly, this is probably the most twisted, sick, messed-up (can't use curse words here on Amazon, but I mean, MESSED UP with an "F" word in the place of "Messed") and disturbing film ever made.... The only two films that I've ever seen that rival the graphically sadistic and disturbing content of this film would be "Salo: 120 Days of Sodom" or "Human Centipede 2"...Maybe "Cannibal Holocaust" or "Martyrs", but I digress. In other words, if you are easily and deeply affected by sadistic, offensive, sick, nasty, vulgar and disturbingly shocking films in a major way, you NEED to read about this film before watching it... Then again, I could provide SOME brief insight with no spoilers, which is key if you are going to enjoy to the film. A shocking film can't shock if you can't be surprised by the shocking parts. So, without much detail, this film contains every kind of depravity that has ever been conceived by humankind when it comes to sex. It's not just explicit sex that you might catch in "Boogie Nights" or "American Psycho" or some films like those. The plot centers around pornography, and the film in its uncut form pretty much IS a porno film. Quite literally from the opening scene till the end. So much explicit sex is in this film that that fact alone will make some people call it "garbage". But, it's not just pornographic sex we're talking about here. Total graphic nudity. The most extreme rape scenes you will ever see. In many scenes, children play a key part in the FILMING of the pornography. We also have LOADS of gruesome violence that goes more over the top that any film I've seen, MAYBE other than "Human Centipede II". Maybe. But, this violence will affect your brain more than your stomach. In short, this film should probably not even be viewed by anyone under the age of 25. FOR GOD'S SAKES, DON'T LET THIS FILM FALL INTO THE HANDS OF A CHILD. I think it would be considered by the police to be "contributing to the delinquency of a minor." Speaking of delinquency to minors, the kids in this film witness sex, violence, drugs, and yes, pornography. That's as far as I'll go, but believe me, words can't really describe the explicitness of the content of this film. As close to a pornographic snuff film that you'll ever see. Only this film actually has production values. The film does however have sociopolitical undertones about life in Serbia. This will not be easy to see for 1st time viewers. You may think I'm nuts if you watch this film after reading my statement there. But, it's true upon subsequent viewings. There IS subtext, but the film is dominated by the shock value.7.) Despite the bootleg-type packaging and complete lack of special features, I am totally satisfied with this purchase. I'm a gore-hound sometimes in my horror film tastes, and I've never understood why this film was so hard to distribute in "uncut" format when films like Human Centipede 1 & 2 are sold in Target and everywhere else. Without the scenes that were chopped in earlier releases of the film on home media, the film loses SOME of it's shock value, but either way, it's still pretty darn disturbing. For my money, if you are going to enjoy a film like this, then the Uncut version released in May of 2012 is the way to go if you like this film.8.) Enjoy! It's just a movie.... most people will hate it, some will love it, but the film is one that you can't "unwatch" even if you only view it once. But, my advice, grow a pair and have the moxie to take the whole horrific film in, then you'll have an experience seared into your memory for life, for better or worse.9.) Please give me a "helpful" vote if this review was informative. I'm no professional, but Amazon reviews are an occasional hobby of mine, so it's kinda fun racking up some "thumbs up" type of votes. What can I say? I'm a dork obviously, but in my defense I don't play video games or Facebook games often, if ever, due to my workload. Like I said, this is a part-time hobby of mine. I may not be a professional, but I do really try to only help with items that I am very familiar with and like personally.A Serbian Film - Uncut, finally.... the entire 104 minutes. It's only version to watch if you're going to watch it. Get sick and twisted one night, and brace yourself for a very shocking and disturbing, yet brilliant film. Peace.P.S. - I just read a really nice review that you should check out as well here on Amazon for this film. Read "Life Of a Victim" by Dante Golio, a customer review as good as any professional summation of the general overview of the themes and plot of "A Serbian Film", very nicely written. Peace.

Consider this not exactly as a review, but as a warning from a friend, in case you haven't seen this film yet and are curious about it. There are already many good reviews here dealing with the cinematographic, technical, cultural etc aspects of this film, so I won't add anything new there. This is not about the film, but about you, the potential viewer.As many other reviewers, I've seen a significant amount of "extreme" or strong horror movies. Fear and shock are powerful emotions, and films are a safe and entertaining way of experiencing them. Some of them left a deep impression in me, sometimes for a few days, but that eventually vanishes.With this film, it's a different story. It may leave permanent scars in your mind that will ruin some of the best experiences of your life, such as witnessing the birth of your child or lying in bed caressing a son's hair. Violent and obscene thoughts will keep intruding, and it's scary for me to think how much this can affect some people. If you think that you may belong to this group, don't risk it. There are many good films out there, and you may go on living without watching this one. Otherwise, go and watch it, but just remember that images can not be erased from your brain afterwards.This is why this is so different. The fear does not come during the movie. It comes after. And it is too real.

It took me a while to review because when I first watched this I felt convicted and bad, the very first one I watched was completely uncut and unrated from the DVD but decided to buy the Blu-ray after I realized this is just a film but there's meaning to it; the utter truth is there sick adulterous people out there and I believe the director exposed that in the film. The Blu-ray uncut version doesn't show the child's face revealed after being raped so I'm glad I choose the Blu-ray version. There’s a natural sexual instinct of nature when us men are driven to be animals in bed but the point of clarity in this film is don't be senseless and preserve your humanity with decency. This film was very tough to accept and watch at first sight because of all the sick sexology given but the plot and storyline was very good. Very well filmed. Very graphic in sexual matters! Honestly no other film can compare to sexual horror yet!Publicity makes it seem like the worst film in the world, but it's only exposing the sickness sadistic people that remain under the sheets; sometimes films are too close to home, that's what's fearsome to others sometimes.From 44 minutes and below of the film was not disturbing or bad but after approximately 45 minutes and above of the film, that is where suspense and sexual horror kick in. The final sexually graphic scene that begun approximately at 1hr23minutes to 1hr26minutes was at first seeming like a seduction of primitive behavior unfiltered for you'll see 2 individuals on bed with maroon sheets both with their bare bottom showing, while the director welcome Milos to penetrate freely both of them while the 2 individuals were masked. Then when the masked are removed, conviction will follow.This film I wouldn't say well worth buying but is worth trying, overall I thought it was a good film for Horror, Drama, and Suspense. But definitely not a romance film, the only romance part maybe the very beginning when Milos was having sex with his wife (this scene supported Erotic Rape Fantasy somewhat) and Milos sex tape at the beginning of the film; although the pornographic content of that scene where the boy was watching Milos tape is exposing parents don't apply parental discretion like they should which is clarifying the subversive actions of youths sexual impulses because it’s based on what’s viewed that gives the affirmation of acceptance. The film also demonstrated portrayed scenes of infidelity and unrestrictive sex in most seductive ways by man being worshipped from women in traditional dissensions and actions when shown a woman disguised as a secretary or teacher’s assistant performing willful fellatio in a private room while he’s married, when Milos was provoked to be receptive to allow himself to deflower an adolescent girl with parental acceptance and initiation from her grandmother, and wife giving permission for Milos to prostitute himself to other women for wealth (polygynous marriage). There was also realism of gluttony from Milos brother whom secretly desired Milos wife, even when he had a beautiful woman fellating him, his greed and jealous corrupted him and he didn’t appreciate what beauty he had; that scenario can also be reflected on life from a fellow kin, friend or associate.Even though the film I thought was good, I thought it would have been better if they didn't add that baby part, for that made me sick, I literally hated that scene. The drama was very good and understandable, Milos felt disgusted by the things the director put him through but fought back in the end. The director of Milos film kept ordering potent sexual aphrodisiacs injections that made him become a mindless sex machine, that's the horror but the thought of this aphrodisiac can be interesting; by revealing the harm it can inflict on others if you not sensible in what you do. Thereby, this reflected all those portrayed highly potent male sexual enhancement, by demonstrating how it can truly harm than do good.Another part was tragic reality that sometimes gluttony will provide the action of adultery and betrayal, this is what Milos was revealed when he notices his brother was having graphic anal sex with his wife, right beside him, when his mask was taken off. A terror that many of us men hope to not go through, for it's a terrible thing witness your brother to rape your wife.I normally don't write long reviews but this film needed it. People suggest this film is for sick, or sinful people but not true this film creates awareness on how sick the world can be. All the pornography out in the world I believe the director of the film blended the horrifying one's into a film of graphic violence to make awareness and horrify individuals on the negative impact of pornography can have on people.Not all of the film is sexual graphic violence because some is just kink or sexual nature but the majority is sexual graphic violence and sick sexology. That majority is about 90% sexually graphic violence and sick sexology. Brutality is given, even in the moments when you think it's interesting but you’re in suspense of happens next, then there a complete twist unto something unpleasant or disgusting.The odd thing about this film is that between The Human Centipede sequel and the A Serbian Film; many critics rave that A Serbian Film is worst but I completely disagree, for I think something cinematic-ally shown as mere reflections of reality is more important (referring to A Serbian Film) than some sick surgeons looking to alternate a devilish artistry of wiring a person’s mouth to another's butt (referring to The Human Centipede sequel). Personally, I find the opposite, and that opposite is The Human Centipede sequel is the film that's unbearable and nothing of interest to watch but something gruesome and failed cinema. While the A Serbian Film is a mere reflection of majority the bad of sexology and mere reflections of life so this makes it important to have, as a reminder of not to dehumanize ourselves. Media may classify this film as a misogynistic film, but that’s just a construction of making individuals feel they should hate misogyny and join feminism but truth is this film is not a misogynistic film but an awareness film based on philosophy, dissensions, realism, primitive sexual responses, drama, victimizing innocence (which is the emotional empathy and conviction portion) and violence.

Warning do not watch this film! Every time I close my eyes I see sick images and wish I hadn't watched it. It contains scenes were a woman is tied, her teeth ripped out and is orally raped till she chokes and dies. There's a scene where a man is injected with drugs and has to rape his own child while his brother rapes his wife beside him. There are other sick scenes that I don't dare write about.These images will be stuck in your head for a long time. Is it really worth watching?

As the title says this is based on the 3 disc Swedish uncut version and there was some issues as to what subtitles it contains. Well I am pleased to confirm THAT BOTH THE BLURAY AND DVD HAVE ENGLISH SUBTITLES However it is only the Bluray that is uncut which has a running time of 1hr 44mins. The dvd has a running time of 1hr 39mins. Great purchase but due to the nature and content of this movie it won't be for everyone.

Which, with a title like that, it never could be. A porn star in decline gets tempted back into the life with the promised of a huge cash payoff. As filming moves along, he is made aware that all is not right with the production. Necrophilia, pedophilia and cold hearted murder sets him off on a vengeful spree with no survivors.This is not a film for everyone and should you decide to watch it you must'nt take it as literal as it is shown. It's raw, disgusting and in your face, but there is a method to the madness and I recommend you watch the interview with its director for some understanding of why this movie came to be.

I bought it since I wanted to check out this infamous movie for myself.As a movie in itself (story acting so on ) it`s not the best (3 out of 5 ) but having seen so many of the most controversial movies made for me this is the sickest I seen and don`t know what can top it. So 4 stars for succeeding in taking the cake of disturbing and only reason I don`t give it 5 is couse this pushes a boundary that I dont want to give 5 stars to.Great copy of the movie.

Only got french or serbian subtitles. Was hoping for english but looks like the reviews are the same for different discs. Lucky there isnt much dialog and i know the storyline, but i had to explain it before watching with my boyfriend. We like shock films but can say if u get off on this film, there is something wrong with u :)
