One of the most pretentious and hypocritical movies ever made
Such a load of crap.
shareHow is it pretentious and hypocritical?
shareIt's a movie that claims it's trying to make a message about violence in film while being the exact thing it's critcizing.
shareI think its more about audience expectations than violence.
shareYou might want to say what the director said about it then.
shareI dont know what he said, but from watching the movie, and especially the breaking of the fourth wall, as well as the way the characters react to situations, I have always thought that the point, or the message, was for the audience to consider why we watch these types of movies and what do we hope to get out of them.
shareYeah and he does it by commiting the exact same sin he's trying to make a point about.
shareLike yvesyves suggested with the no violence comment, for a torture porn type movie, there is very little on screen violence.
shareIt's still just an hour and a half of a family being subjected to torture and misery. Torture porn doesn't have to nessecarily be gory.
shareWhat is interesting about this movie is that if I remember correctly it has exactly zero violent scene or violence, however still is super dark and brings a lot of chills, personally I really enjoyed it.
shareThere's literally scenes where people are beat with golf clubs and shot...
Idk what movie you saw.
