"The human brain is split into two hemispheres, the right and the left. The right portion controls all intuitive, passionate, and creative thought, while the left dominates the logical and rational. The right brain is the purest drug that breeds uninhibited feeling?dreams that can be seen?destroy the left brain. Destroy your lies."

POSTER
POSTER 2

Written & Directed by Karim Hussain

Those who dismiss SUBCONSCIOUS CRUELTY as a disgusting splatter flick or a pretentious art film miss the point entirely. It is very rare that a filmmaker thoroughly dismisses the standard narrative structure of commercial cinema and still manages to clearly convey a point to his audience, but Hussain accomplishes this task with nary a flaw in evidence. For horror fans, bohemians and open-minded cineastes in need of a few effective slices of existential terror, SUBCONSCIOUS CRUELTY delivers with benefits. Everyone, should stand up and take note of Hussain and Davis: If this debut provides any indication of the future, these up-and-coming talents may yet give us some of the most visionary nightmares ever put to film.

I haven't seen it yet - but from what I've read, it sounds promising...

ed2k: subconsious.cruelty.dvd.rip.divx.(stetheboro).avi - (has at least 3 full sources)
torrent: Subconscious Cruelty.torrent - (I'm currently at 87%)

Creature Corner Review

The film is split into a few segments, I hesistate to call them "stories" because only the first one has any sort of real narrative quality. It begins with a narrator discussing the implications of violence in film, and leads to a scenario where a man is plotting his vision of the ultimate human blasphemy. This segment ends after his plan comes to fruition, and it is indeed quite shocking.

Next we see a man getting in touch with the two sides of his brain, with the help of mysterious guys in suits. They help him along by means of sex, visions, and torture. Lastly, we see Jesus wailing in front of a church. And the results are in: this is the most blasphemous scene in the history of cinema.

As a reviewer, it is probably my duty to warn a lot of people against this film: folks with heart conditions, religious persons, and most of all, pregnant women, should probably steer clear. Also, those with a tendency toward queasiness, as their is more blood, violence, and semen in this movie than I've ever seen anywhere.

All this being said, I feel this is one of the most effective movies I've seen in a long time. It's effective in showing us the darkest urges and possiblities of human nature. I defy anyone to watch this and speak indifferently of it. One of the darkest and most disturbing things I have ever seen. (taken from Fangoria)

Yes! I've wanted to see this ever since I missed it at the Stockholm film festival two years ago. Thanx!

I'm going to see Hussain's new film "Ascension" at the film festival this year (starts next week).

I saw Hussain's new film Ascension. Some people described it as "Stalker directed by Ed Wood". It's not as gory as Subconscious Cruelty and no nudity. If you like arty farty pretentious horror with lots of mood and cool ideas, you have to see Ascension. I liked it alot.

In my skin was so so and you just have to see Miike's Gozu. Shit, that guy really is crazy :mrgreen:

conveying a point to the audience..........................?
well i guess i missed it.
pseudo-intellectual shit for my taste.
will only attract people for its perverse and explicit shown violence not for the "message" that?s quite doubtfully delivered.
