Very extreme film.
`Subconscious Cruelty` has to be one of the most beautiful films I have ever seen.Still it‘s extremely grim and gory at times,so fans of politically correct mainstream horror garbage shouldn‘t bother.The film mixes many wonderful visuals with plenty of sleaze and gore.It is extremely odd,vicious and disturbing,so fans of bizarre cinema won‘t be disappointed. My favourite segment from `Subconscious Cruelty` is `Human Larvae` which shows us a twisted relationship between a young man and his pregnant sister.The birthing scene is particularly nasty and not easily forgotten.The last segment `Right Brain/Martyrdom` has to be seen to be believed.It‘s incredibly harsh and blasphemous with scenes of genital mutilation and grisly torture.We see Jesus Christ captured by three naked females who mutilate him,ripping flesh from his chest,licking a wound on his knee and pissing on him.There is also a Jesus statue with a projection of a swastika on it.`Subconscious Cruelty` is a truly memorable film that should be seen by fans of extreme cinema.Check it out.
Well, it‘s safe to say that Subconscious Cruelty is one weird film! Supposedly an insight into the human mind, Subconscious Cruelty is comprises four macabre and bizarre tales of the extreme. The first segment, entitled ‘Ovarian Eyeball‘ is really just a warm up, but it‘s good in that it gives the viewer an idea of what to expect from the next three segments. It simply sees a naked woman laid out on a table, while another woman cuts into her abdomen and pulls out a human eyeball! I‘ve got no idea what the point is, but it certainly makes for visceral viewing. The following story is the best of the bunch, and takes in the `old favourite` sick movie theme of incest. The segment follows a man who lives alone with his pregnant sister. He‘s repulsed by her pregnancy - yet he wants to have sex with her anyway, and naturally he gets his way. This story stands out because of the monotonous and ‘matter of fact‘ narration, as well as the ending - which doesn‘t fail to deliver the shocks. This segment is well acted, well filmed and easily the highlight of Subconscious Cruelty.
Naturally, the next two sections aren‘t as good as the second one; so the only way from there is down, but director Karim Hussain still manages to pull something out of the bag before the film ends. He doesn‘t do it right away, however, as the third segment is the weakest of the film, and simply sees a lot of people have sex with the ground. It‘s very surreal, and therefore memorable for that same reason; but there doesn‘t seem to be a lot of point to it, and I was in the mood for something a bit more morbid after the second section. The film ends on a high, however, as while I‘m not entirely sure what the point was - the final segment features the film‘s best imagery. This segment focuses on religion, and certainly isn‘t for anyone that values it! Director Karim Hussain has achieved something here - as while this collection of four ‘extreme‘ stories doesn‘t come together as a complete whole, the film almost feels tasteful as it‘s shot in such an eloquent and eye catching manner. The director would seem to have been imitating the highly respected surreal director Luis Bu?uel, albeit with gore, rape and incest; and if you ask me, he hasn‘t done a bad job at all. Not for everyone, but certainly worth a look for extreme fanatics!
