- mixing art with porn never ends well

- Newborn porn! NEWBORN PORN!
- nothing beats getting head while watching some family videos
- if it doesn't fit in, maybe it's best you check what you're doing first
- porn is a tough industry
summary
A Serbian Film is definitely one of the most extreme horror films in recent years, but unlike many other of its type, it has excellent production quality and a coherent plot going for it. The film may seem awfully gratuitous at times and it often feels like it's doing certain things just to see how far it can go, but that doesn't diminish its shock value. Most certainly not for the faint of heart,
A Serbian Film is a disturbing tale of violence, pornography, death and pretty much every disgusting thing you can think of. It's gruesome, it's horrific, it's shocking.
