Killers

if this came out in like 2006 it would’ve been quite the banger. a pretty archetypal piece of extreme cinema that borrows from american style torture porn that came 10 years before its time. an undeniably fun romp of senseless violence that tries to maintain pretty worthless philosophical undertones, but never gets genuinely annoying in doing so like Martyrs does.  3 stars because it’s really nothing new. especially for 2014. i think every horror filmmaker needs to study Salo or the 120 Days of Sodom like their lives depend on it. audiences would be hopeless if someone could learn from Pasolini’s style and make it their own unique brand of contemporary horror
