Incredibly difficult watch. How could it be anything but? I've seen many reviews mention the banality of evil. I disagree. If Auschwitz is in your backyard, there is nothing banal about it. The use of plumes of smoke was incredible, as was the sound design and score. Disturbing, foreboding, chilling. I wasn't entirely sure what I was getting myself into with this film, and not far in, I almost wanted to leave. The only close-ups being on flowers really does convey the lack of sympathy for the people we follow. The irony of Mrs. Hoss feeling like she's being forced to leave her home when her husband gets promoted. Good acts of leaving apples leading to disruption and more death. The inclusion of Joseph Wulf’s, Sunbeams, leaves me at a loss for words: collections.ushmm.org/search/catalog/irn671467. It is incredibly grounding. To me, this movie is a reminder about choice and humanizing evil. We must humanize evil in order to recognize that there is always a choice to do what is good and question the oppressive soup that we're being brought up in. What an excellent choice for the ending. How do you clean a place like that?

Letter to a Pig - Short Film Review

A holocaust survivor's story sends a young student into a nightmarish dream of violence, hatred, redemption, and compassion in short film "Letter to a Pig".

A holocaust survivor recalls hiding a pigsty for days, thankful for the cover provided by the animals in the short film “Letter to a Pig”. A bored classroom of school children listens, giggles, yawns, squeals, as the man talks about writing a letter to a pig that saved his life. But one young listener is profoundly affected by the tale, slipping into a nightmare, where she interprets the fear,…

SUBLIME CINEMA #681 - THE ZONE OF INTEREST

An audacious masterpiece that hasn't left me since I've seen it, and has only grown more fearsome in my mind the longer I've sat with it.

Jonathan Glazer is one of the most courageous filmmakers around right now, approaching his subjects in ways most directors wouldn't dare to. He has long had all the means to take on a 'normal' career making 'normal' movies, but has rejected it in lieu of refining his art and craft - making these increasingly probing, personal and left field films - at a rate of once every ten years.

Under the Skin was one of my best theatrical experiences, and Zone is even more relevant, conjuring much of the same atmosphere, of dread and of horrors unseen.

not saying the holocaust wasn't bad. but i need people to understand that it wasn't the only genocide that happened in the same period of world history. not because i want you to pay less attention to holocaust but because i need you to ask why it's the only one we ever talk about. it wasn't the longest occured massacre of a marginalized group, it wasn't the most gruesome, it wasn't the one with the most casualties, it wasn't the first and it wasn't the last one. i need people to think about why we didn't pay much attention to all the other holocausts after WWII that happened simultaniously and were just as horrible. it says so much about media, the news we are fed, and that our empathy is BOUGHT by the same people that keep funding genocides all over the world.

#i didn't grow up in the west-#-so everytime i watch a movie where the characters comically try to avoid saying the word 'nazi' because it's so offensive i'm like.... huh #how are you as an american suggest that being a nazi is the most evil thing a human can be but describe america as the land of the brave?#for many people hitler is the face of evildoing but every single european leader at the time engaged in similar activities #and this is not to say we shouldnt condemn nazis or whatever. god no #i get a lot of asks (some very rude by the way) from people who think i'm an antisemite because i'm... muslim?#dunno how yall think that makes sense but no. i learned about the holocaust from my very muslim mother.#who then gavw me anne frank's diary to read #holocaust has always been a topic we talked about at home. it had a lot tell about the western world #but we didn't have the same 'dont speak of it or you'll get cancelled' type of mindset #i believe that's because it wasn't the only genocide we learned and talked about #it holds so much weight in the western world because you think it's this very out of the blue thing that happened only once in history.#that tells even more about the western world #thoughts #freepalestine #free palestine #free congo #free sudan #free uyghurs #boycott israel

can we talk about how The Zone of Interest is a movie that's really about everything you can't see? can we talk about how the families of German high command officers lived perfectly normal lives behind thick concrete walls that they hoped would become overgrown with vines and flowers so they wouldn't have to be constantly reminded of what was behind it? can we talk about how these men committed unspeakable acts of genocide behind these walls, then came home and went about their day as if everything was right in the world? as if hundreds of human beings weren't being worked/gassed to death and their bodies burned in crematoriums every single day, practically in their backyards? can we talk about how excellently important this film is for Americans today with everything that's happening in the world? can we talk about how the families of those SS officers are just like the Israeli people who colonize the Gaza strip and treat the people who live there like they're inhuman? and can we talk about how their Jewish predecessors, who were hated and hunted and massacred by the millions for generations, are SCREAMING from beyond the grave?

Aside from ASF, what are some of your favorite extreme horror films?

This reminded me, I've actually been meaning to make an extreme horror film tier meme thing lol.

I actually talk about other extreme horror films very often, but I guess ASF becomes what you're known for when people don't understand the reason I watch extreme horror over Hollywood horror. The reason is because I WANT to be disturbed, horrified, and feel uncomfortable when consuming horror media. So with that said. I'm going to list some of my favs that I recommend as well for people who are interested in getting into extreme horror or have yet to see.

Warning SPOLERS

Irreversible is absolutely one of my top extreme horror films. It's an absolute masterpiece and I feel like it truly portrays the reality and trauma and effects of sexual assault. As a victim, I appreciate traumatic things like SA being portrayed realistically, because it's important for people to understand the full extent of the suffering a victim experiences.

Cannibal Holocaust, as stereotypical as that may sound to say, my reasons are probably deeper than one would expect. I appreciate the film because of the political commentary, how it essentially flips what one goes in expecting on its head by showing that the group of Americans who go to make the documentary are actually the true monsters. I also think it's very impressive (and rather rare) to find extreme horror that delivers such a kick to gut without using or heavily focusing on child abuse. I think Irreversible is great for the same reason. The kick to the gut is much more out of left field given how much child abuse is used as a trope.

Trauma (2017) [nicknamed A Chilean Film]. I went into this blind and OH LORD I WILL ADMIT I WAS CAUGHT OFF GUARD AND EXTREMELY UNCOMFORTABLE MORE THAN ONCE. definitely lived up to the nickname it's been given. There's an endurance test scene that is Irreversible tier and the fact the girl puts the gun in her mouth after experiencing that (only to be shot by Juan instead), shows how truly horrifically SA affects victims. I also appreciate the fact that Juan's own trauma was shown in flashbacks, giving an explanation but not an excuse of how he ended up the way he did. The end scene smacked me like the hand of God. Its a movie that does a good job at showing the cycle of abuse.

Salo, I wouldn't say is one of my top extreme horror films, but I'd say it's a must watch at least once. The commentary on fascism being horrid... 🙏

Now, this last one I'm going to mention, is not extreme horror but by far the movie that has left me the most disturbed and to this day: Threads (1984) you will be left very, very, very numb and never quite the same: "You cannot win a nuclear war!" -Threads, before nuclear war.

On a final note, I also am looking forward to rewatching August Underground again soon, I haven't seen it in YEARS and it's recently been officially distributed by the AMAZING @unearthed-films !!!

Psst if y'all like extreme horror books, you should check out The Man with the Scarred Neck (splatterpunk genre) you won't be disappointed ;) (I don't apologize for mentioning this)
