(2010) ****1/2
Procrastination has forced me to sell short the best piece of filmmaking I've come across in this year's contest. It's the last day to submit reviews and I don't have the time to churn out a polished review of A Serbian Film. I do want to put out a real review of this at some point, because I think it's worthy of review and discussion. It's not a film for the meek, and images of the film continue to plague me a month after I watched it. But it's a powerful movie, and unlike Cannibal Holocaust and either of the Human Centipede movies, it's rich in subtext. The subtext of A Serbian Film is as potent as any of the more appalling moments of the movie. There's more than just tawdriness going on here. I respected that, and I plan on writing more about why when I do a more thorough review later.
But for now, I just wanted to make sure I clocked the review before the buzzer. Anyone who sits through an entire screening of this deserves at least that much. Anyone here who has seen it would agree.
First rule of Horrorthon is: watch horror movies. Second rule of Horrorthon is: write about it. Warn us. Tempt us. The one who watches the most movies in 31 days wins. There is no prize.

I admit a very well made film, but the most disturbing movie ever...so far
I totally agree and I've sat through it twice.
Glad you clocked in with this at the last minute 50 and I do hope you elaborate further down the road.
Yeah, this one is so clearly a must-see.
