I think it’s obvious that if the film were actual child pornography, it would be illegal to view and there would be no discussion whatsoever. You know, the kind of people who would like to ban all horror films, and probably all violent films in general. All of a sudden these open-minded horror fans are extremely overreacting and behaving like the Christian Right or Tipper Gore. But when it comes to the particular issue of child abuse, suddenly there’s a line that can’t be crossed. The ironic thing is that these are people who claim to love horror films, and are willing to watch all manner of disturbing and despicable acts on screen, including murder, rape, torture, cannibalism and so on. It is no more pornography than any other film ranging from Bambi to When Harry Met Sally. The film is an extreme horror film that is being shown at a 24-hour marathon of horror films. Which he has every right to do, but the “child porn” tag is simply not accurate, as there is no actual pornographic material (involving children or anyone else) in the film. There is one particular hysterical lunatic who keeps calling the film “child porn” and “filth”. Why would I want to watch that, you ask? It’s a fair question.įor the past several weeks I have been engaged in an argument with a few people on the event’s message boards who strongly object to the film being shown.
Let’s just say it’s easily the most controversial film in recent years, as it depicts various perversions including simulated child rape.
#A SERBIAN FILM (2011) PRO#
I’m not going to go into the film’s history here (feel free to Google it, there are tons of articles about the film both pro and con). I have not seen the film yet, though I have read a lot about it online over the past couple of years. So, it turns out that in a few days I will be attending a rare theatrical screening of A Serbian Film in Columbus, Ohio.
