EPTI can't handle any movie that has to do with someone holding people against their will and doing things to them. (torture and such, and especially rape.) It disturbs me on a level that follows me around for a while after I see it or hear about it. Just reading about this will kinda haunt me for a few days, I regret clicking the thread, haha.

Perhaps there should be a section of TL that is only accessible with proof of age. Viewers have been critical of Gretorp and NASL for sexual allusions. As someone with two children that frequent this site I would like to believe that TL (though not tame) is a "safe place" on the internet. This blows right past that. 18+, really? Don't underestimate what young people can handle. Most 15(14?13?) -17 year old's have probably already seen way worse stuff, I'm sure they won't get a crooked mind from reading about obscene movie on TL. Which I'm of course gonna watch at some point with some friends and go "Eeeeew gross!" | ||

 I certainly won't be seeing it though. I can't handle gore or gruesome scenes. But for those who enjoy seeing them, I'd like it to be an option. | ||

Regardless this is NSFW for sure, and it would please me if the OP would spoiler tag the images. This is just disgusting. | ||

And if you look at 2:12 seconds of the first trailer where it shows the credits it says that it's '100% Medically Accurate' so this is something we need to legitimately be worried about. That line was 100% bullshit It's a shitty movie that banks on the "shock factor" to make money, banning something like that from cashing in is probably good use of censorship. | ||

No I wouldn't want that, but I doubt that would be a realistic scenario. I mean, in my country you've probably only have to be 15 to see the movie, so I don't think the age requirements of movies apply to the content discussed on a website with readers from all over the world? I mean I don't now for sure, but that would seem a bit silly to me  | ||

If you can't deal with it, don't judge it. The movie might not be for you (it certainly isn't for me either), but that doesn't mean you should prohibit others from watching it. | ||

Or you turn it around. A sick person that has such tendencies will seek out material that fits his fantasies. Which begets the question, "should we be providing material to fit his fantasies?" It's very debatable as to whether someone predisposed to rape, for example, either vicariously plays out his fantasies by watching rape porn so he doesn't go out and rape, or if watching rape porn stokes to go out and rape. I'd say most of the time, no, it doesn't, but sometimes it does, and we should think about how far we want to go. Just because you can do something doesn't mean you should. I don't think it's fair to suggest that people who enjoy this stuff are all suddenly sicko serial killers who can't wait to bathe in blood. He didn't say that... in fact he said he wasn't saying that. | ||

Yeah it's my opinion that there are more useful things to do for kids than to watch people being sewed together and raped with barbed wire. Kids don't know what they can handle in many circumstances. Imo it's a good thing this isn't showed on mainstream cinema. If you wanna watch it over the internet and wank off to it, be my guest. | ||

I'd say most of the time, no, it doesn't, but sometimes it does, and we should think about how far we want to go. Just because you can do something doesn't mean you should. But wouldnt that same logic work in the case of "violent/gory" media and murder? i.e. violent video games would lead to murder, therefore we should ban those video games? Overall I think we should worry more about censorship concerning news (where are the bin Laden pictures^^) and not what is "ok" in entertainment (movies, games) by certain standards. Make sure only adults have legal access (ignoring internet) and it is fine by me. That said - I will never watch that movie | ||

THC wasn't at all as bad as I thought it was going to be. After wanting to see it for about a year (I couldn't justify watching that movie by myself.) I finally convinced two friends to watch it with me. It laughed more than I winced, granted I have a HIGHER tolerance for that kind of stuff than other people, but I don't believe I have a super high fear/gore threshold. It was definitely made for the WTF factor. It's underacted and underacted on purpose. There's parts that are really cliche and those are in there on purpose. There's a scene + Show Spoiler + where the girls' car breaks down. Instead of following the road, they decide to walk into the dark forest. Kind of playing on how in scary films people seem to make the dumbest survival choices. the girls are in the doctor's house. He is the creepiest host ever and all the signs are there for you to GTFO, but they stay and it doesn't cross their minds to leave until their drugs are kicking in. There's a lot of shock factor but I actually found it aesthetically pleasing. (lol) Great cinematography. I loved the ending. + Show Spoiler +About ten minutes before it ends you get a feel for how it might end up and you are begging for it to end differently, but then it ends how you hoped it wouldn't and you loved it. I also believe people to make it WORSE than it is. Yeah, the idea is disgusting and overly ridiculous but that's the POINT! This movie doesn't take itself too seriously and you shouldn't either. This movie pokes fun at itself in parts, there's a lot of tongue in cheek humor. It's over and under-acted in parts with the intention of over and under-acting. Also, the 100% medically accurate thing is a joke. + Show Spoiler + This is funny because during the Doctor's "powerpoint presentation" about the surgery, his diagram shows the outline of three humans with a long tube connecting them. EDIT: Felt the need to add this: I was watching it at like 3 AM with two buddies, one of them can't handle scary movies so he went to bed. About halfway through the movie he came back and watched it with us because he heard us laughing and he ended up loving it. While I am not implying that this movie is a light-hearted, happy-go-lucky film, I am saying that if you watch it in good company, there's a good chance you'll be laughing more than crying. | ||
