OK, alright ... I need a moment ... So ... What was Brandes motivation in allowing this!? Did Melwes get away w/ it??? Did they enjoy this??? Wow, talk about a snuff film! How did you take it??? Mind you, I was reading all about vestal virgin's executions yesterday, so ... Yeah, humans are SICK and PSYCHO!!! ... There is a real film, Meiwes filmed it- but it hasn't been released to the public. Meiwes was arrested in '02 after a college student phoned the police after seeing new advertisements for victims and details about the killing on the Internet. Investigators searched his home and found body parts and the videotaped killing. Butterfly: A Grimm Love Story did try to provide some insight, delving into Miewes' and Brandes' parallel traumatic childhoods. but Miewes sued (successfully) the filmmakers for slander, claiming that the film presented his side of the whole sad story in an unflattering light- amazing. "3rd March 2006: The state court in Kassel upheld a complaint from Meiwes, 44, against the film Rohtenburg(Butterfly: A Grimm Love Story), which was due for release in Germany on 9 March. The court ruled that Meiwes' rights as an individual outweighed artistic freedom and that he should not become the object of a horror film. On May 26 2009, Germany's highest civil court overturned the ban, ruling that freedom of the arts took precedence over Meiwes' personality rights. The court also ruled that because the film didn't distort the well-known facts of the case, Meiwes' rights were not violated. The film was finally released in German cinemas on June 18 2009. " - IMDB.com WOW ... See, truth never does stop bein' stranger than fiction ... That's why I hate horror, it is so talking place ... NOW!!! Woah, that is trainwreck kinda fascinating ... ... Wish I could take seeing either ... Or do I ... ... Scratch that, maybe some clips and the book ... I still don't get Brandes motivation, willingness ... So, does that mean 'Butterfly' is available, then? ... Kate runs to IMDB Keri Russell is in it, though I heard her part was useless to the movie as a whole.

Kids, Pink Flamingos, and Eyes Wide Shut Kids, excellent film. I still haven't seen Larry Clark's other film Ken Park. Clark's Bully is also good.

Let's see. 1. The Last House on the Left (original) (damaged me for life I think) 2. Mystic River (so tragic). 3. Jacob's Ladder

Traces Of Death- it's a mondo/shockumentary along the same lines as Faces of Death, but unlike Faces, Traces of Death is 100% real- there is no staged footage. I've only watched Traces once and have no desire to see it again.

The last one that really got to me was 13 Ghosts...I felt creepy when I went to the bathroom for months! Another was One Hour Photo...not that it was scary...just seeing Robin Williams play that part creeped me out a little.

My 3 most disturbing movies would have to be: 1) Cabin Fever (disease that makes peoples' skin fall off...ewww) 2) The Hills Have Eyes and Shutter (prolonged rape scenes in two otherwise good movies) 3) Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas (disturbing for different reasons, in that it seems directed at promoting and endorsing hard substance abuse; I watched less than thirty minutes of it, but that was all I needed to witness)

I just finished watching Imprint (Masters of Horror) and thought the torture scene there was pretty disturbing. From Wikipedia: Japanese director Takashi Miike was among the filmmakers chosen to create an episode for Masters of Horror. Considered to be a "deliberately and spectacularly transgressive director whose work is lionized by a substantial share of the young generation of Internet critics and horror film fans, while routinely rejected as repulsively sadistic by much of the mainstream media", Miike crafted "Imprint" based on a traditional Japanese story, "Bokkee Kyotee", by Shimako Iwai. He explained the reasons he chose the film: "It had a simplicity that I liked. Also, it had that kind of story I imagined the audience telling their friends after seeing the film. It's a story that could have been told before the horror genre existed -- it's more like a kaidan -- a traditional scary story. It included graphic depictions of violence and aborted fetuses, but Miike believed he was staying within the boundaries of acceptability: "I thought that I was right up to the limit of what American television would tolerate. As I was making the film I kept checking to make sure that I wasn't going over the line, but I evidently misestimated." After previewing the episode, Mick Garris, the series creator and executive producer, requested that it be edited to tone down the content, but, despite some changes being made, Showtime felt it was too disturbing to air on television. The episode, scheduled to air January 27, 2006, was canceled and became the only one of the series to remain unaired in the United States.

Imprint was probably the best episode of the entire series, IMO. I thought Masters of Horror was a huge letdown. There were only a few episodes I liked, the rest were mediocre to bad. All the directors were supposed to be "Masters of Horror" which there were a few, but some of the others definitely couldn't be considered that- Ernest Dickerson had nothing to do with horror, William Malone didn't direct any memorable horror films...and some true masters of the genre were missing- No Romero.
