Has anyone seen the movie "Begotten"?

[Aristus]

It's by the guy who made "Shadow Of the Vampire".

I won't link to it. It's probably a felony to do so. But it's available on YouTube.

The director calls it a "retelling of the Book of Genesis". If so, he took an already twisted family saga, and turned it into torture porn.

A "god" of some sort disembowels himself and gives birth to Mother Earth. She in turn arouses his dead body (I'm not kidding) and impregnates herself with his semen. She then gives birth to a fully-grown, epileptic man-child whose role in the film seems to be to lay there seizing and suffering while a band of cannibal nomads dismembers him and rapes Mother Earth. They then dismember her, and bury the body parts, which apparently are the seeds of new-growing plants. The End.

Whew! It's tough going.

The only reason I watched it is because I viewed the trailer for it on the DVD of 'Shadow Of The Vampire' and thought it was intriguing.

The only reason I didn't have nightmares afterward is because I frantically called up a few episodes of "Scrubs" to kind of cleanse the palate before going to bed.
