Baron Mynd's Nasty Finds - "The Cook, The Thief, His Wife & Her Lover"

[sral]

The Machinist


This film wasn't very high ranking in my mind, admittedly. I've owned it nine months or more and not looked twice at it. Saw it recommended in a few most disturbing/sickening lists but as it was a 15, I didn't have high hopes. I wish now I had checked for it sooner.

Bale plays Trevor Reznik, an insomniac who hasn't slept in over a year. His appearance is something of a manorexic early on. Skeleton thin and heroin junkie looking. There's not a great deal to gross you out but there's a good scene where a fellow machinist gets his hand chewed off by a machine and the lower half of the amputated arm remains trapped, spinning around wildly that I liked somewhat.

This film isn't so much disturbing in the gore hound sense, but pretty gripping in a psychological one. I pretty much guessed it was himself writing the notes, you see the marker pen earlier on as he's searching for a pencil. I didn't realise it was him who was the hit and run driver, but I'd half-guessed what was going on early in with the toothy guy that kept reappearing.

It's a brilliant ride though, hugely recommended, and I'm glad I gave it a chance. It doesn't rate so highly on my most disturbing list as others because I own some FUCKED UP shit, to be frank haha! But this is a genuinely great movie, not to be missed!

[Mr. J]

I was on this route but as soon as my laptop crapped out I been less enthused..
but I did watch a bunch of movies before I did


CH, Irreversible, A Serbian Film, Mulholland Drive, Human Centipede, Eraserhead..
idk what else..CH & ASF have stuck with me :/

[sral]

Yeah man, those two are right the way up there... those and August Underground are pretty much my top three. The order may change depending on my mood, entirely diff films in some respects but all have merit to the throne.

I've got Mulholland Drive (haven't watched) but i'm looking for a version with like these postcards or some shit inside? once i've got that version i'll watch.

I got a new copy of Eraserhead just this week, been had HC and HC2 - i'll wait on HC3 though until an uncut versions released. I dont think 3 will be anywhere near as bad as 2 was from what i've read from other horror heads.

You seen Headless? thats meant to be a good one, i'll be checking that out

http://foundmovie.net/found/found-sp...gth-gore-fest/

theres a couple collectors online that have copies/bootlegs for sale of a lot of the old banned or unreleased shit, uncut versions, the worktracks etc

my guy has a Dawn of The Dead with extended Mall scenes etc that i want hold of (purely for completist reasons, really)

there's a lot of dope shit out there

i'll post some more pics when i get them delievered, there's about 16-20 ive still to be delivered atm

[sral]

got Kill Bill: the whole bloody affair which is fucking DOPE

Differences in this version in comparison to the separate Vol. 1 and Vol. 2 versions include the "old Klingon proverb" shown at the beginning of Vol. 1 is not present, although a dedication to filmmaker Kinji Fukasaku is in its place; the anime sequence is slightly longer with more gore; The House of Blue Leaves battle is in color (it had been toned down to black and white for the USA release of Vol. 1 only)[citation needed]; Sofie Fatale loses both of her arms; the revelation that The Bride's daughter is alive at the end of Vol. 1 is not present, nor is the short black and white scene at the beginning of Vol. 2 where The Bride is driving and sums up the action to that point; in its place is a small musical intermission that leads straight into Chapter 6.

the house of blue leaves fight in colour is fucking awesome

[Mr. J]

Seeing this thread makes me want to collect some movies again..
I need to peep that Kill Bill. that Dawn Of The Dead sounds great too

Headless looks interesting.

[Geno]

ive read all of this and know about all these movies also. i have a discgusting mind -just like you.

so your youtube thingy... nah -dont know how well it would work man. im sure its been done for all these movies. ive seen more than one writeup about each one and read 6-7 lists just like yours about what movies are the worst tand most horrific to watch for whatever reason. cool shit though -i just find it odd that we think alike in this area

[sral]

I don't even intend doing it for the views etc, just a hobby seeing as I love this shit and have bought/watched more than most

There's a great youtube reviewer called Horrible Reviews if you're interested in this kinda thing

Tras El Cristal (In A Glass Cage)

This one gives little away on the cover, but it's a Spanish horror with English subtitles. I've got the Cult Epics unrated/uncensored/special edition version (figured I'd start stating the version as a lot of these have cut versions with a lot of the violence etc omitted)

The story follows an ex-Nazi doctor who was posted up in concentration camps. Due to his position of authority, he's able to commit sex crimes on little boys. Eventually after the war, he goes to Spain where no one knows him, gives into his warped peado sexual fantasies, and out of shame for his action attempts to kill himself by jumping from a roof...

He fails, but his body is crippled.

He's then kept alive on a giant iron lung machine, unable to move. His wife and daughter minister him until one day a male nurse arrives to take care of the doctor. They develop a weird relationship, the nurse discovers the Nazi doctors diaries and starts reading them - later re-enacting the acts out back on the doctor.

This involves, among other weird shit, jacking off into the Nazi doctors face while his crippled body is help in an iron lung, unable to move. It's pretty fucking disturbing even if you don't 'see' that much on camera.

The male nurse almost relishes the opportunity of exerting this power, that the doctor once used to have, and he gets keen to kill himself. Between turning the doctors house into a Nazi war camp knock off, and killing the doctors wife by hanging her over a balcony, he starts acting like the doctor would have - dressing in his nazi uniform and later abducting young boys to kill via lethal injections of gas direct to the heart.

It's not an easy ride this one. The sound made by the pump on the iron lung machine pumping oxygen is used to great effect to build tension, I thought they utilised that brilliantly. This one doesn't rate so highly as some of the more graphic ones I have in the collection, but this is a great film none the less. The psychological horror and leaving bits up to the viewers imagination works well.

There's a part near the end where the male nurse forces the nazi doctor to suck his cock while being kept alive on the iron lung, and the doctor dies by choking on the nurses penis, eyes rolling back as sperm/saliva drips from his face. Brilliant, but not for everyone. Pretty disturbing though, as Spanish horrors tend to be. I've only seen this and The Skin I Live In so maybe I'm making that assumption a little early on about the Spanish, but yeah, from what I've seen their plot lines in horror films are WAY out there haha!

Check it out.

[El Muffin]

Holy shit. Lmao

Sounds like a good one. Gone @asphyxiation by cum gargling

Must see this. Sounds like it coukd be a little Salo -esque

Inside

I almost wanted to like this film before I'd even seen it. It was mentioned in a lot of the early Most Sickening/Disturbing film lists I read. It was French and they seem to try and push the envelope as far as horrors go. It was rated roughly a 7/10 on IMDB when I last looked, which is good going when you're as well versed as I am in art house and b-movie guff haha! I don't pay much attention to those ratings, personally, as a lot of what I collect isn't to everyone's taste - but all indications seemed positive.

This movie was pretty boring though truth be told, and I've sat through Salo/Guinea Pig/AU where there's little to no plot. The slow pace at the start really made it seem to drag for me, personally.

The premise is built around this pregnant chick who's involved in a car accident, the child's father dies, and the mother is bleeding thick dark vermillion clots from her mouth - making you think the worst for the child. Flash forward four months and she's still pregnant, about to conceive it.

There are several strange almost "premonitions" or things shown during her daydreaming that are a real mixed bag. Some effects are decently done, the CGI of the foetus in the room isn't too bad, which are good because you get an idea of the baby inside her being harmed. Theres a scene where she's projectile vomiting what looks like milk that looks terribly fake though, tbh. Literally so had I imagine I could recreate it to better effect in my own kitchen right now.

A strange woman comes to the house who wants to steal the baby, and will kill to get it. It quickly becomes apparent this is one for the gore hounds. There's bucket loads. And then some. Throats get cut and it leads to blood sprayed up the wall like a Pollack painting. The pregnant chicks own mom gets a stab to the neck on some Pandemikk shit LOL

A guy gets a pair of scissors/shears stabbed through his genitals, then the weapon gets twisted left and right just to exert more pain/blood.
The poor guy survives only to get a pillow put over his face and then stabbed again through the head. Must not have been his lucky day, eh?

So what else is there:-

The pregnant woman gets her hand stuck to the wall with the pair of giant scissors lanced through it.

A policeman gets a knitting needle to the eye, then has it struck through his skull sending him into some kind of nerve ending twitch even though he's dead.

His fellow officer gets half his face blown away by a close range shot from a gun.

There's some aerosol spray/home made flame thrower used at the end to kill off the sociopathic woman who is trying to steal the kid. The CGI lets it down again here though IMO. It looks cheap.

Mom of the year pierces her own oesophagus with a knitting needle and blood gushes out from her throat. Strangely, she then uses duct tape to try and hold the wound to neck together immediately afterwards. She arms herself with some extended spear/sheath blade looking contraption and goes hunting down the would-be kidnapper with the now-melted face.

Finding the melted-face weirdo woman, MFWW decides to now reveal she lost her baby in the car crash right at the start of the movie. Lame, but I suppose there had to be some motive, right? There's a great/horrible scene saved for near the end where the pregnant mom gets hit to the stomach with a police officers nightstick and no end of slime/placenta looking slop drops from her stomach onto the floor. It's pretty gross/lulzy.

The would-be child abducter/serial killer with the melted face then happens to find her maternal side and tries to help deliver the baby! Surely a master stroke in the script writing department there. Good lord.

But baby needs delivering - and who better? So melted face child abducting woman cuts away and the soon-to-be mum's clothing, before then taking her trusty giant set of scissors and literally CUTTING OPEN THE MOTHERS STOMACH with them to get the baby out. This is no c-section, folks. The belly is cut upwards, from the belly button, with a pair of scissors... then torn open with bare hands to get out the baby. Cue masses of dark red liquid pouring down the staircase. Pretty grim viewing, tbh.

Mom dies. Melted faced creepy weirdo child thief cradles baby in her arms and rocks him to sleep, replacing the dead child she lost in the car accident. Everyone lives unhappily ever after.

The end.




This one really didn't disturb me at all, I could imagine maybe if you were a chick or your girl was pregnant or something maybe it would be a little more disturbing? It's certainly dark subject matter but some of the effects with the baby in the womb took away from it for me. Sure, I haven't seen that done previously, but I don't doubt it could be done better. The blood looks very real an there's a lot of it for the gore fans, but there's not a whole lot more to offer here besides that. It's a blood feast. It was pretty short clocking in at around 80 mins I think? This rates under stuff like The Butcher by Noe - for me at least - and that's not even one of his more "known" flicks tbh. Not too disturbing, I could maybe see why people would think it sickening so I do give it some leeway I guess.

Watch the goriest scenes and skip the film, honestly, you're not missing much. There's way better out there.

[El Muffin]

lol I know Mr j said muholland drive

But dONT review that craPfest

I'll peep/review this for you though because I've never seen it before.

I've sat and watched Freaks (1932), Kids (?), and Anti Christ (2009) tonight. Did a bit of a marathon - reviews need writing but AC is nowhere near the likes of AU, CH or ASF by my reckoning. It's way below. Seriously. Brilliant shot and the visuals are gorgeous, but not the most disturbing by a long shot...

[sral]

I watched the Korean horror "The Butcher" too, haven't reviewed that but that was another to add to the torture porn list. A bit of a slow starter but once it got going it was non-stop slaughter, fairly short film too in all honesty. One for the gore hounds and sadists but not a great deal else for the rest of you.

I picked up a copy of Meat Grinder that seemed pretty promising, more torture porn from the look of the cover, but Google has it's running time at like 2hrs 50 mins or some shit?! LOL

There's not enough hours in the day for me to watch some of these. I'll get to some reviews tomorrow if I've time!

[El Muffin]

Salo is #1

I will never forget

The Guy randomly face planting into ass cheeks during the "banquet" had me like "hahn"

I thought the whole premise was,incredibly creepy

The old bitches who went thru the same process yet survived n somehow Enjoy Waht is happening?

Christ

[Mr. J]

How was Freaks? I'd watch that but I feel like it would turn my stomach
I saw that they used actually Carney folk. I think that's what puts me off
plus dude crawling underneath the carriage. I dislike grainy films it feels weird to me
but I survived Eraserhead and that shit still sticks in my head.

Is that Kids with Rosario Dawson. I used to have that.
someone left it at my house once and it became a part of the collection
I think I got rid of that though

Salo isn't even top three to me. It's pretty depraved in storyline, but in terms of what you physically see I don't honestly think it's that bad. A lot of scenes like the dogfood with nails in just look so cheap and badly done, by today's standards, that they've lost a lot of their shock value.

The likes of the turtle soup scene in CH are still shocking today, that holds more merit for me, personally.


Freaks is a REALLY odd one, the audios bad in parts as its from the 1930s and some of the characters can't speak all too well. I found the wiki article on the characters infinitely more interesting than the film itself. The films okayish, some terrible moments like Prince Randian crawling through mud with a knife his mouth like a man with no arms or legs is seriously threatening a Strongman LOL!

There's a kind or moral to it in that the 'normal' beautiful woman who tries to con one out money is actually the ugliest at hard. I liked that.

Not so much a horror or truly that disturbing IMO. I love having it in my collection though, I'd have never picked this up otherwise..

[El Muffin]

I've seen "Freaks"

You know the back story on lobster man?

Lol that guy was fucking depraved irl

Ended up getting murdered by his wife

[sral]

lmao i know who you mean but Grady wasnt in Freaks, was he?
