Synopsis

Milosh, a retired porn star, leads a normal family life with his wife Maria and six-year old son Petar in tumultuous Serbia, trying to make ends meet. A sudden call from his former colleague Layla will change everything. She introduces Milosh to Vukmir—mysterious, menacing and a politically powerful figure in the pornographic business. A leading role in Vukmir’s new production will provide financial support to Milosh and his family for the rest of their lives. From then on, Milosh is drawn into a maelstrom of unbelievable cruelty and mayhem devised by his employer. In order to escape the living cinematic hell he’s put into, and save his family’s life, Milos will have to sacrifice everything – his pride, his morality, his sanity, and maybe even his own life. —SXSW

This isn't a film that everyone should watch. If you want to see how you'll react to over the top torture porn, then give it a go. The entire film is a drug fueled sex rampage. If the filmmaker actually spent time building the relationships between family members, the end would be much more cringe worthy. It played like a gross out roller coaster. I might have actually thrown up if I cared about the characters.

Too horrifying to recommend to others, too good to simply dismiss as exploitative horror porn. Certainly sets the bar for pushing the envelope of acceptable imagery while not excusing or glorifying it.

Semi-brilliant film. Tries too hard with the controversy. Some stuff is downright shocking but other moments are just plain silly. However, this film's saving grace is the political commentary scenes that I think were the film's original aim. The other worthwhile elements are its excellent production value. But It loses most of its points for the in-your-face shock value that favors exploitation over style.
