Has anyone seen Begotten *view at own risk*

[MagnaTron]

This movie has caught my attention but its been said it is highly disturbing, and scary. It is set entirely in black and white and looks real old but was made in 1991.

i have the movie in my computer and i pretty much ask everyone if they have seen it before i have seen it.

for those curious to know what im talking about. beware it is very disturbing and lots of gore something i wouldnt recommend for the squeamish and sensitive.

Begotten is a 1991 Experimental/horror film, directed and written by E. Elias Merhige.

The film heavily deals with religion and the biblical story of earth creation. But as Merhige revealed during Q&A sessions, its primary inspiration was a near death experience he had when he was 19, after a car crash. The film features no dialogue, but rather uses harsh and uncompromising images of human pain and suffering to tell its tale.

The film was shot on black and white reversal film, and then every frame was rephotographed for the look that is seen. The only colors are black and white. There are no half-tones. This is intended to add to the eerie atmosphere of the movie, as sometimes the viewer cannot always exactly make out what it is being shown, but can still infer a sense of suffering. The look of the film has been described as "a Rorschach test for the eye". Merhige said that for each minute of original film, it took up to 10 hours to rephotograph it for the look desired.

Mehrige also revealed in Q&A sessions that he would like this film to be the first of a trilogy. He is experiencing difficulties getting proper funding, and it is unknown if/when the two other films will be made.

Music video "Cryptorchid", single for Antichrist Superstar by Marilyn Manson, was directed by E. Elias Merhige and includes footage from Begotten.

*reads the plot*

Holy crap...that is one whacked out movie. It's one of those things that I have to see out of sheer curiosity, but I know I shouldn't because it'll mess up my psyche'.
