Begotten

If you wake up one morning with the urge to watch a movie where someone practices self disembowelment within the first three minutes, for whatever reason, here is my gift to you. Within minutes of such actions occurring a random woman impregnates herself with said fellows bodily fluids.

This woman proceeds to give birth to a fully grown man-child who comes equipt with one of the creepiest sounds emitting from a living creature I have ever heard. I might also like to add that this man-child closely resembles the creatures from the Descent, even their movements are similar.

Oh the glorious world of cinema.

I know there is an explanation of this movie that exists, I have read it. For the sake of you having your own unbiased interpretation of the film, if that's what you want, I won't explain what it's "suppose" to be about. And just don't read the paragraph underneath this one if you feel strongly about it. I feel as though this movie wants you to interpret it for yourself. You might even decide that the movie is a load of shit, too long and is just being passed along as art. That's your call.

To me the film was post-apocalyptic in its entirety. Last man on earth, wouldn't blame him, goes insane and decides to take his own life (Not saying I agree with his choice of suicide.) What he doesn't know is that there is another human being on earth and she finds him a little too late, or not. So she decides, what the hell, what have I got to lose and she makes herself pregnant in order to repopulate the world. Ultimately, humans beings are always going to be suffering.

There are certain scenes throughout the movie that extend to unnecessary lengths. You might, just might, feel a bit awkward watching some of them, even by yourself. Or not.

The film closely resembles to me what movie hell would look like, no dialogue whatsoever, raw sounds and lighting that can only be described as crude. If one were to have a dream in such a landscape lets hope you wouldn't have to be there long. Not even Freddy Krueger could make your nightmares so damn unforgettable.

All I know is if I end up having a dream that even closely resembles anything from this movie I'm going to be pissed.
