Since many people visited this, I have decided to add a bonus track. So now they\u2019re not 5, but 7. As Halloween is near, I intend to do a whole month, just horror-themed. Let\u2019s start with a (non-exhaustive) list of films that, although not all of them are horror films, they have managed to disturb the public in some way.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In this film, the director tried to make a fierce criticism of the Nazi regime. He succeeded, but at the cost of causing quite a stir.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The film shows us a group of regime officials who, realizing that they are going to lose the war, decide to hide in a castle, on an island. But they did not go alone. They took with them a group of young men and women, all prisoners of war, to be their\u2026 sex\u2026 slaves. Along with them go some brothel keepers to help organize\u2026 you know.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The film shows all kinds of abuse, from forced sexual relations (and some fulfill straight boys’ worst nightmare), to forcing them to eat excrement. The abusers repeatedly threaten the prisoners with death, but only at the end of the film do they fulfill their threat, in a sadistic way.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
What I found curious about this movie is that, near the end, the prisoners begin to betray each other, and side with their abusers in order to win their favor. Some even change sides. Maybe that’s where the heart of the matter is.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Another curious fact is that there are several scenes where one of the brothel keepers sits to tell about her experiences in her time as a prostitute, and everyone sits around to listen to her (the prisoners, forced, of course). I found it picturesque to listen to an old woman tell all kinds of lurid stories. And the fact that it’s in Italian makes it even funnier.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
It’s a movie that you will certainly remember, even though it doesn’t show much blood.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
