Un-Watchable

So after my review of whatever it is that is called Chillerama I got to thinking about other movies that I had to turn off because I couldn’t watch them anymore. I am not talking about movies like the Human Centipede II, which is probably my least favorite movie I have never watched. I am not talking about the kinds of movies that are created for the soul purpose of gore, or gross outs. There are whole genres of movies I will never watch because I don’t believe they have any redeeming qualities. Shock is the lowest form of entertainment, it is why I refuse to watch Hostel, A Serbian Film, or Human Centipede. I tend to think more about movies that I will never watch again because for some reason they struck a nerve. There is an Australian movie called Wolf Creek, it has pretty good reviews, and from what I remember was actually a pretty well made movie, and aired at both Cannes and Sundance. I watched it one afternoon in a friends dorm room, as we usually did a couple times a week, but for some reason I have never felt so much dread in my whole life. I guess I have to give the movie credit for that, setting the story in the desolate Australian outback, just gave of an aire of no hope at all. We ended up turning the movie off well before it was over because of how we felt, I never plan on rewatching but I will recommend it. It’s pretty cool to me that movies can actually make someone feel real emotions about things.
