Sorry for posting this here, don't know anywhere else to post. I'm searching for the unrated copy of A Serbian Film. I was told it was banned in the States. I don't mind extreme horror, but with all the controversy surrounding this movie, I have to see this.

[Damien]

Hey Crafter, not sure where you can purchase the uncut copy, but you can download it. Thats the the way i got it, through bit torrent. Hope this helps.

[Crafter]

Thanks. My computer is a little bit different than the PC. I have a Mac.

Hi! I'm a Mac....And I'm a PC

My personal opinion: you can do without it. I saw the premiere in Belgrade, and I nearly fall asleep (something that happens very rare) ... The whole movie felt like random scene of sex and violence.

if you want some quality horrors from Serbia, you should check out Sveto Mesto (eng. A Holy Place) which was based on Nikolai Gogol's short horror story. That one scared the shit out of me when I was a kid. I swear, I will NEVER forgive my granpa for letting me watch that. Sveto Mesto can be found on torrents, I even made one personal release, since studio that owned it gave us green light to do it (don't ask)

Others you might check are Variola Vera (only good luck finding it, maybe on the net?) it was based on real events, about infamous Variola epidemic (which was similar to Black Plague) that hit Yugoslavia in '70.

oh and if you want some Argento-like splatters, get TT Syndrome. It was dull (interesting till the middle, later it becomes really dull), but it was nuts in gore department (especially for self produced movie. Actors who starred in a movie actually fund the movie. Again, don't ask).

there are some other good horror movies, but they are all hard to find since most of them just got local release. Best way is internet, because funs release them (and in most cases they remastered it personally)

[Craig]

Never heard of this one.

[Crafter]

I'm starting to learn to appreciate foreign horror films a little more than before. It's just difficult finding them. Most of the ones that have caught my eye are either out of print or banned from the US.

There have been some ones that are just flat out disturbing, you try to watch but you can't. It's just too much for the mind to handle. It affects them greatly and leaves a lasting impression.

German F. Munrau did back in '20 with Nosferatu, Faust and Metropolis (just to name those) ... or other great directors from Europe that are considered best of the best - Hitchock (Brit), Bergman (Swed), Bertollucci (Italian), Andrey Tarkovskiy (Russian), Akira Kurosawa (Japanese, ok, he's Asian, but still...) ... oh yeah, and Milosh Forman (Czech) ... I can name at least 50 more of those directors.

Yep, sorry, but Europe always did own America in art department .

ps. as for availability problem... I do trading... and lot of them with lot of people from Europe. I ether trade them originals or we burn each other DVDs. There's just some right feeling when you get the package from a long awaited Swedish shipment.

the only problem are Italians, they always keep sending me goddamn Italian dubbed movies! Yes, it's awkward when Freddy Kruager starts speaking Italian!

[Jack Frost]

I got uncut yesterday and seen it...

fuck, this one was sick. It was much longer version then one I saw at premiere (my guess is that they just HAVE to cut it short because it was screened at film festival) it was nearly 25 min longer.

Better title for the uncut version would be "Sex & Violence" and this one isn't very pretty in it's uncut form. It's not that gory, but it's rather raw and really violent. Makes Inside and Cannibal Holocaust look like Sunday kid cartoon...

anyway, director of this one has a next project, it's 26 chapter movie which he will write with few other people. Each chapter will be directed by different person (either director or actor\actress). I am not kidding. the title is "The ABCs of Death" and judging by people involved in this project, it's probably gonna be intense.

[Damien]

Haha...no wonder you never thought too much of it, a heavily cut version would make it very boring (and non shocking). It was definately a sick film but i was never as shocked as what i though i would be; even the baby scene. Still a good film.

[Jack Frost]

I am more shocked that this was made in Serbia, but not by the actual movie. You know, Serbia usually produces comedies or dramas (or mix of both) and those are the "mainstream" movies... but horror happens rarely (well, at least not since '90)... all of those movies that are horror (or violent, like Skinning) are always self-produced.

the most interesting fact is that this never got official DVD release in Serbia.

oh yeah, and Crafter, you could check out here, it seems that they sell uncut for $7

http://warriordvdsel...ts/show/2130691

no clue what site is tho, you should check out if it's safe. I would say it's USA web store. I know Sweden had uncut release (from where I got it) but I've heard they are not printing it anymore.

[Damien]

Hey Jack is it true that the main actor in Serbian Film is a comedian himself??

[Jack Frost]

Yes, and he's very popular among Serbian people and other old Yugoslavian countries... and much like rest of the Serbian actors, he works a lot in live theaters. Saw him several times at different plays, he was terrific every single time.

btw, Serbian film isn't very popular among Serbians, both critics and audiences responses were negative, and most of them even hate the movie. Many asked Srdjan Todorovic (main actor) "Why did you do it (be part of that movie)?"

[Damien]

Haha...thats not surprising. Didn't exactly paint a rosey picture. However, could the women be any hotter!! Especialy the prostitute with the brother getting "friendly" while they were watching home movies.

[Jack Frost]

hahha, yeah, but there some unwritten rule that all "home" movies turn out to be considered bad by "home audiences" but loved by other countries. I can name at least 50 cases of that. (Dead Snow, remember that one? It was box office failure in Norway, but it had huge success outside Norway)

gotta agree there with you. Most of them are very pretty (including actresses from all ex-Yu countries)...

I recently seen her in "Skinning" (flick about Neo-Nazis in Serbia, also Serbian movie) and she was smoking hot even when she played skinhead (or skinnette). She had a few nude\sex scenes and her body was just perfect.



you might remember her from Drag me to Hell (she played daughter of Mrs. Ganush, main villain), Edge of Darkness, Devil (movie where people are trapped in lift with Devil), Satisfaction (TV show) ...

[Crafter]

I tried looking everywhere for this film. I can't seem to find it. Is there anyone who wouldn't burning a copy of the unrated version? Thanks.

[Jack Frost]

Crafter look in one of my preview post. I posted a link that sells uncut version of this. Only check out is that webstore legal, seems it's like smaller selling webstore. It cost $7.

I've also seen uncut version avi and dvd on the internet (torrents). I haven't try to download it tho, Serbia has harsh rules about downloading "home" stuff (if you get caught downloading of course). I got mine from Swedish friend, they seem to had uncut release in Sweden. (again, it's ironic, since NO OFFICIAL release exist in Serbia yet)

[speedy]

I saw the cut version last week and didn't think much of it. I'll try to locate the uncut version.

[Damien]

Yeah Skav the cut version leaves alot out, especialy the baby scene.
