Critics Consensus

A pointless shocker and societal allegory, a film whose imagery is so gruesome as to leave you scarred for life...or rolling your eyes for 100 minutes.

3/4

The rare piece of transgressive art that's more grimly meditative than satirical or allegorical, A Serbian Film's most daring aspect may be the muddle of soul-searching it demands from its audience.

"A Serbian Film" revels in its sheer inventive awfulness and dares the viewer to find a more serious layer of meaning.

There is a grim, polluted niche in filmmaking that celebrates controversy and humanity’s potential for evil in a way that has no purpose or intention other than making money off of our own stupidity. A Serbian Film epitomizes that.

An absolutely brutal, unrelenting, and depraved watch that is brought to life more effectively than it had any right to.

5/5

A Serbian Film still rips apart our morals, and deepthroats us with them until we vomit our own regrets. For me it still holds the title as most nasty, disturbing, controversial and fucked-up horror movie to ever exist.

Although it is arguably the most difficult film to watch in the history of cinema, it touches upon important themes regarding sexuality, pornography, and what drives someone to abandon their principles and cross every boundary.

Thought it would be a "Horror Thriller"...instead..it was a "Horrorific Borer"! Disgusting, gross, pointless..total waste of time.

For a movie of this runtime, featuring this type of content, it really doesn't mean much of anything in the end---which is easily the worst offence.

Don’t watch this movie if you know what’s good for you. It pains me to be honest about how good this movie was. I gave it five stars. I’m not sorry but I am sorry I watched it. 10 out of 10 do not recommend. Technically is a good movie though so now you don’t have to watch it. You know it’s good. If you do become bored or reduced enough to find yourself watching this movie, whatever you do, do not watch the directors cut. I have guilt. It was horrible and outrageously unnecessary. It is not for the faint of heart.

Not the worst thing I've ever seen. Weird. Some pretty bad acting and effects. Typical, forgettable, Euro-trash. Considering the stories and other reviews, I expected much, much, much worse.
