[Chip Skylark]

The Vanishing.

To this day I still think this is one of the darkest movies I've seen. I saw it back in 2013 it's about a pandemic that hits & people lose their 5 senses one by one

Sure they’ve been mentioned:

A Serbian Film
Salo: 120 Days of Sodom

The Vanishing.

Is the foreign original better than the US remake with Keifer Sutherland?

 

[Sonic Boom of the South]

Watched one scene from The Holy Mountain and had to turn it off ASAP. Not because of the quality but because it was too messed up.

Gonna watch this

Yes.

But I like both.

Holy Mountain is dope. I've been meaning to watch El Topo by the same director. Never got around to it.

Where did you watch it and how was it?

Not the darkest, but Almodóvar’s The Skin I Live In was pretty fukked up.

Santa sangre is darker than both.

Recently?

A troubled man gets released from prison and starts taking out his sadistic fantasies on an unsuspecting family living in a secluded house.

Based on the real murders that happened in Germany: Werner Kniesek - Wikipedia

It's rather low budget but that just adds to the rawness to me. The camerawork is actually pretty great though and gives the viewer a real "fly on the wall" point of view. The score consists of about 2 notes plucked from an 80s breakdance sounding song (used in the film) and its just chilling. I'll give you an idea of these with this clip:



I lowkey haven't stopped thinking about this since I've seen it.

Friend of mine in high school was a big movie buff, as was I, he brought the DVD to the crib one night with no explanation of what to expect and we proceeded to say WTF for the entirety. It just got weirder and weirder but I personally think the directing is beautiful.

Santa sangre is darker than both.

Good looking out! Adding that to my list. The title alone sounds promising lol.
