Hey guys! And we reached the hundredth program. The first program on the Brazilian internet to presents to the public extreme, underground, obscure films.
. . who would be ostracized if it weren't for my macabre curiosity!
In this special program let's remember all the feature films that have been here, including those that are no longer available videos that were deleted for being too harsh, hurt, disrespect the platform rules. Get ready to tease irreversible damage to your soul why does it start now The Most Disturbing Movies of the Planet! Spin the Commemorative Vignette!
Do you know that expression "When I got here everything was forest"? So it is. Well that's it.
On May 21, 2014, when I published the first video on the playlist of The Most Disturbing Films on the Planet I never imagined that I was opening a Pandora's Box. At that time nobody, no Brazilian youtubers specifically talked about horror It is by bringing into the frame of the disturbers works outside the curve, works outside the Hollywood axis, the channel attracted an underserved audience of this type of different production and inspired other content creators to do the same thing. As I said before the vignette, this special program will be a Retrospective.
Let's talk about all the feature films covered here. To make the video more dynamic, I grouped the films into categories: the provocative, the inspired by facts, the disgusting, the classic, the traumatizing. .
. and so on. Are some categories heavier than others?
Yes! And this will help a lot of people separate the wheat from the chaff, create the courage to watch certain feature films. Because the comment most frequently, I read most on the channel is: "I love watching Getro's videos, but I'm scared to death of watching the movies.
" And precisely thinking about this more sensitive audience is that we're going to start with the "Cute" category. Yes, believe me. There were films here that, despite causing discomfort for one reason or another, turned out to be charming, as is the case with "Lamb".
It’s impossible not to fall in love with the little lamb that’s half animal, half human. Just like "Bad Boy Bubby" which tells a story of redemption and overcoming. "Border" is another.
The bizarre relationship between trolls yields macabre passages, but love wins in the end. The video for "Border" including, I had the pleasure of having the participation of the biologist Heneile Carvalho, who spoke about the sexuality of trolls. Closing the category: "Jacob's Ladder", maybe the feature film lighter than I committed to the painting, But that doesn't make it any less disturbing.
Many classics have been commented here. Starting with "The Exorcist", selected to be the #1 Most Disturbing show. The choice was not for nothing, Since "The Exorcist" was one of the first horror films I ever watched, at nine years of age.
another one of my favorites "The Texas Chainsaw Massacre" which many people think is an exaggeration to call a classic, was also commented on. In my opinion, one of the best horror films ever made. And we still had "A Clockwork Orange", "The Devils", The yugoslavian "Sweet Movie", "Eraserhead" do David Lynch, and "Freaks: Monsters", which in 2022, turned ninety years old.
Four Brazilian works appeared in the program. "Pixote", was the first of them and the film has practically not aged. If any filmmaker qualifies to make a social x-ray about the condition of street children in Brazil today, you are likely to find a scenario as hopeless as what Babenco portrayed in 1980.
"Bicho de Sete Cabeças" and "7 Prisoners", both starring Rodrigo Santoro, also passed by here. Just like "Brazilian Holocaust", the devastating documentary about Hospital Colônia in Minas Gerais, the largest hospice in Brazil where more than 60 thousand people died. The comments in this video, testimonies from people who were forcibly hospitalized, or had relatives hospitalized are as impactful as the documentary itself.
Before the "Based on Facts" framework existed, many feature films inspired by real stories were mentioned in the Disturbers. And even after the program premiered, films with heavier content left me in doubt where should I fit them. "The Golden Glove", for example, is one of these cases.
The impact of the video was so good that I ended up recording another one, about serial killer Fritz Honka for the painting "Based on Facts". "Henry: Portrait of a Serial Killer", the austrian "Angst", the chinese "Men Behind The Sun", what else. .
. "Elephant" by Gus Van Saint about the Columbine Massacre and "3096 Days" which narrates the drama of one of the longest kidnappings in history are also in this category. French director Julia Ducorneau who loves body horror was mentioned twice in the program.
Com "Titane" and "Raw", film that made the public feel sick at the Toronto Film Festival. The hungarian feature film "Taxidermia" also falls into this category. Just like "The Bunny Game", the most radical body horror ever made.
The protagonist of the film Rodleen Getsic allowed, in truth, be burned with iron, a technique that tattoo artists call "Branding", which is exactly the same to what is done with cattle, a hot iron pressed against the skin. Very crazy feature film It was also commented here. Perhaps the least crazy among them be it "Possession", a metaphysical game of cat and mouse starring Isabelle Adjani and Sam Neill.
The rest are a complete mess. The bloodthirsty "Subconscious Cruelty" has a religious feel, the german "Schramm" is pure nihilism, "We Are The Flesh" takes place in a post-apocalyptic scenario and the experimental "Begotten" that many people believe was carried out at the beginning of the last century, but it was actually made in 1989, it is set in a metaphysical time. When it comes to psychedelia, however, none of them beat "The Holy Mountain" by magician Alejandro Jodorowsky.
There are people who don't like the "Found Footage" style, but there is a genre, or better, a subgenre that often yields disturbing films. "The Poughkeepsie Tapes" is a great example. Considered too heavy, it was banned for almost a decade in the United States.
"Megan is Missing" in turn gained the spotlight due to tiktokers, that excerpts from the film went viral. o sul coreano "The Butcher", from Argentina "Snuff 102", o americano "Home Movie" and the serbian "Life and Death of a Porno Gang" also fall into this category. Just like "V/H/S", the anthology of short stories inspired by the video format that was a sensation in the 80s.
The concept of "disturbing" in this framework goes beyond gore and violence, and here there were disturbing psychological works the ones that make you sleepy and make us reflect. Precisely the case of "AntiChrist", by "Persona Non Grata" Lars Von Trier, "Soft and Quiet", directed by Brazilian Beth de Araújo, Daren Aronofsky's "Mother", the Mexican "Human Animals" and the Spanish "The Plataform", the pandemic sensation film, released in early 2020 by Netflix when the first news about Corona was the worst possible. The incestuous "Moebius" and the terrible "Ex-Drmmer", a co-production between six European countries are also in this category.
Speaking of European, two directors had a strong presence on the board, each of them with two works: The Greek Yorgos Lanthimos with "Dogtooth" and "The Killing of a Sacred Deer" and Austrian Michael Haneke with "Benny's Video" and "Funny Games" which ten years later, in 2007, received an American remake directed by Heneke himself. From here the degree of disturbance will increase. If you intend to use this video as a guide to movies to watch, Be careful what you select from now on, okay?
Starting with "Last House on The Left", one of Wes Craven's first films, considered one of the precursors of the Rape and Revenge subgenre, which was quite successful in the 1970s, and came back with a bang in the mid-2000s leading by "I Spit on Your Grave" which, as incredible as it may seem, It never happened in this context. I talked about him in the extinct "Kombate". Anyone who has been following the channel for a long time will definitely remember the program.
In compensation, I brought to the disturbers: "The Woman", "Deadgirl", "Violation" e "Trauma", a heavy-handed Chilean film. The japanese "Girl Hell 1999" e "Strange Circus" are also in this category, but they offer a different perspective on the topic. While "Girl Hell" emphasizes physical violence, "Strange Circus" by Zion Sound prefers a more psychological approach.
Although it is found footage, "August Underground" fits more into this category, given the degree of cruelty involved. In my video, I talked not only about "August Underground", but also its sequels: "Mordum" and "Penance". On the same level of insanity temos "Murder Set Pieces" considered one of the most misogynistic films ever made, the Japanese "Grotesque", a sadistic game without limits, the Chinese is beyond incorrect "Ebola Syndrome" and the French "Devil's Weekend", another found footage, practically exclusive to the channel, as it is not available in good quality anywhere on the internet.
Closing the blood and guts category, "The Hostel", precursor of the Torture Porn subgenre, the American version of New French Extremity. When it comes to extreme violence, whether physical or psychological, French filmmakers don't mess around on the job. And because of that, most of the films made by them in the mid-2000s who followed the New French Extremity movement, gained international repercussion.
"Inside", "In My Skin", "Frontier(s)" and "Baise Moi" are some examples covered here on the channel. However, those that stood out the most and helped the subgenre, If you can call it a "subgenre", become better known, without a doubt, were "Irreversible" by Gaspar Noé e "Martyrs" do Pascal Laugier. Must-see movie on any self-respecting list where the subject is ultra-violent French films.
Before going up yet another degree of disturbance in retrospect, let me name some films whose videos were demonetized for exceeding the limit of. . .
common sense, so to speak. I could have distributed them across the other categories, however, since these films rarely appear in searches, decide to create a specific category for them. The Mexican "Atroz", the French "I Stand Alone", the Swedish "Forever Lilya", the Greek "Singapore Sling", the German "Nekromantik" and its sequel "Nekromantik 2".
All these videos were published before the "family friendly" precepts of YouTube are established. And because it contains an inappropriate scene or subject, these videos had their monetization canceled. "Caligula" is also on that list.
And this one, I confess, deserved it. I speak and show many absurdities. Some videos suffered an even worse fate and needed to be removed for various reasons.
"V/H/S 2" talked about a taboo topic, This is a topic that I prefer not to mention to avoid problems. "American Psycho", I deleted it myself after copyright was claimed by the studio and "Thanatomorphosis", in a huge hesitation, I missed the scene where a breast appeared. Another one that I showed more than I should have was "Cannibal Holocaust" by Ruggero Deodato.
O russo "Green Elephant" and "Saló", Italian "Saló: The 120 Days of Sodom", two works that addressed coprophagia among other bad things, were also condemned to limbo. When "Saló" was deleted, it already had more than 2 million views, one of the main videos that helped Getro's channel become known. Films in this category caused adverse reactions in some people who chose inappropriate times to watch them.
And, in fact, it is not an exaggeration. Some videos here, capable of causing nausea and indigestion, as is the case of "Saló", which I mentioned just now. Because of its relevance, I ended up re-recording the video being very careful this time with what I was saying and showing.
Other nasties that that stirred spectators' guts are: "One Man and His Pig", the piggy movie, "Gummo", the scene with the noodles in the bathtub is always remembered in the comments, "Pink Flamingos", one of the largest representatives of the counterculture of the 70s, the Spanish "Skins", where a character has an anus instead of a mouth it is clear, the "Human Centipede" trilogy. My channel was the first to gain relevance to the famous works of director Tom Six. In addition to visually striking works, Films with firepower also showed here to shake our psychology.
From the United States came: "The Girl Next Door", "Requiem for a Dram", "Happiness", "We Need to Talk About Kevin", and the classic "Faces of Death", that for a long time haunted the generations of the 1970s and 80s, with its supposedly real scenes. The scene with the little monkey being killed in a restaurant it was my childhood trauma. It ceased to be in 2008, when the film turned 30 and this blu-ray here was released.
In one of the extras the producers reveal that almost everything in the film is fake, including the monkey scene. Another "fake" that bothers It's brutal and harrowing "The Painted Bird", based on the 1965 book of the same name written by Polish author Jerzy Kozinski who sold the story as an autobiography and was later unmasked. The Estonian "Klass: The Class" depicts an imaginary situation but it manages to pass with authenticity the thoughts and actions of young people of school age.
For those who are already a parent, the Greek "Miss Violence" and the German "Michael" form an indigestible double capable of making the blood boil in the veins. Another German film that gets on your nerves is "Nothing Bad Can Happen". Closing the Trauma category, the British "Kill List", the Canadian "Incendies", one of the first films in Denis Villeneuve's career, and the Danish "Speak No Evil" one of the best feature films of 2022, which will soon get an American remake.
In this last level are the Sick Films. Degrading productions designed with the purpose of shaking, disturbing the viewer, without offering any type of positive reflection. Precisely the case of "Melancholie Der Engel" by Marian Dora.
The Brazilian internet practically didn't know who this obscure German filmmaker was when I recorded my video about The Angels' Melancholia. During a live in 2021 that took place at Refugio Cult where were I, Dr Cecchi, Otávio Ugá and Lucas Maia, I told them about this film, everyone was horrified, but shortly after, Lucas recorded a video about "Melancolie" too and there, the shit hit the fan, with Marian Dora receiving increasingly "affectionate" compliments in our videos. "Carcinoma" is another work by the guy that is difficult to digest, for showing a character suffering from colon cancer with no intention of treating yourself.
Even though they are very heavy, the Marian Dora films, Amazingly, It has a touch of poetry and dreaminess, unlike the visceral "A Serbian Film", controversial production which was banned in Brazil. More than ten years after its launch, the Serbian feature film continues to be one of the cinematographic works strongest, bravest and most impactful ever made. And that's it, guys.
We've reached the end of the 100th episode of The Most Disturbing Films on the Planet. Of everyone I mentioned, which one(s) caused you discomfort, actually caused irreversible damage to your soul? Write in the comments and I want to know.
And if you have new suggestions for films that deserve to be on this board, put it there too. Thank you for your listening, remember the naughty like and follow me on my other social networks. Goodbye, see you next time!
