the director is obessed with killing animals


The most animal cruelty I've seen in a movie. I bet some messed up kids were influenced to drown cats and crap because of this film. It's really just sick. I know its a movie but lets get real here. It doesn't make it right to put *beep* like that in a movie. It's wrong and disgusting.

The animal mutilation is a metaphor for all the lost, abused kids in the town. The cats are strays, as are the children.

I am a huge animal lover, but I can appreciate art.

Do you think kids who watch Harry Potter practice witchcraft ?

PS: don't look up Damian Hirst

That's stupid AF.

You think that was sick, you should watch Cannibal Holocaust where they really killed animals for the sake of the movie. This just shows troubled teens who do this probably all around the world, I know kids in my neighborhood did it as they we're always bragging about it and a lot of even more horrid story circle as rumors. I know they wouldn't watch this film, they would think that it's to boring because it doesn't have a ''point'' and I know if I would watch it then (maybe even I wouldn't enjoy it then!), I doubt that I would start torturing animals just because I saw it in this movie.

Cannibal Holocaust was BORING !!!!! not shocking, not disturbing, totally stupid

Gummo is art.It equates the tortured animals with the tortured children. It is beautiful filth

now if you want to see a REALLY disturbing movie try Salo or Mordum.

What about the war movies that show the horses getting killed in battle.

It is sick and i agree but i don't think it could get anymore controversial

Unfortunately yes.

Director should have been drowned in poop before making this "movie".
