Dude, I don't believe that you've seen the August Underground series or the Guinea Pig series if this is the most disturbing movie you've ever seen. I've only seen Flower of Flesh and Blood, of which some of the special effects aren't the greatest, but this movie just goes over the top with everything. The audio effects are far too unrealistic for me to believe it for even a second, and the amount of unnecessary splatter in every one of these scenes puts even Gutterballs to shame.

August Underground's Mordum, the only one of the three I've seen, puts this movie to shame, so easily with how gritty and realistic it is. I can't blame anyone for thinking that this was an actual snuff film, because their special effects are spot on.

I ended up skipping through the four and a half hours of Philosophy of a Knife 30 seconds at a time, because I got sick of looking at snow, trees, people's eyes, and random tools / instruments that they never explained what they were there for, save for being covered in obscene amounts of blood.

That's a relatively comprehensive list, but let's be fair. Many of those are disturbing in very different ways and for different reasons.

Still, the movie that tops all of these, even CH, PoaK, and the rest, is A Serbian Film. Nothing will ever be as disturbing, ever.

If you don't believe in Jesus Christ and are 100% proud of it, put this in your sig.

I am baffled at how anybody who has seen a horror movie with any talent put into it can find POA disturbing or even well made. It's totally unwatchable. The guy making the movie does all the narration and he has no charisma nor does he have a good voice for talking for 4 hours. Listening to this guy drone on and on and on is boring. The subject matter is one of the most horrific war crimes in history and the director manages to make it boring. The torture was done as wrong as possible, it's nothing but white college students with trimmed pubes who look nothing like 1940's Chinese civilians who were the people that died in the hands of Unit 731. Men Behind The Sun is the only movie that needed to be made, it was realistic because those sickos used real cadavers for effects and it told the entire story. A 4 hour documentary made on a 10 cent budget didn't need to be made.

Philosophy Of A Knife has its place, but yeah, I wouldn't say that it's "amazing". It's definitely grotesque to the point of insanity, but that alone can't deliver the experience from its flaws. My biggest gripe with the movie is the inconsistent, unconvincing acting of much of its cast - while some delivered great performances that really drew me into the movie, others could barely feign the agony necessary to make the torture convincing. It's a mixed bag, but anyone into the nastier side of Horror/Exploitation should check it out and decide for themselves what they think of P.O.A.K.

I think the narrator was supposed to come across as being the narrator of a documentary. That's how they sound.
