You know a film is truly disturbing when it gets the entire online horror community to act like your mom. Director Srdjan Spasojevic’s A Serbian Film was screened at last week’s SXSW Festival and apparently pissed all over the fragile sensibilities of those in attendance.

Bloggers and critics have since continued to cry about the film’s grotesque over-the-top violence. Perhaps, the funniest- outcry comes from one Tex Maxipad over at Bloody-Disgusting, who not only gives A Serbian Film a poor grade due to its lack of “redeeming social, political, and artistic value,” but compares it to PETA propaganda and 9/11.

Since when does horror have to aspire to such lofty goals? Horror is popcorn thrills and dime-store psychology. Whether you’re afraid of ghosts, Dinocrocs & Supergators, or getting your limbs hacked off during sex, horror films play to our fears and our inherent nature to want to see people suffer through horrible ordeals from the safety of our homes.

A Serbian Film stars Srdjan Todorovic as a downtrodden ex-porn star trying to make ends meet for his family by taking on a role in a privately funded fetish video that involves acts both immoral and illegal (eye socket rape anyone?).

The film has yet to lock down distribution in the States.
