Critics Consensus

A pointless shocker and societal allegory, a film whose imagery is so gruesome as to leave you scarred for life...or rolling your eyes for 100 minutes.

Joseph Jon Lanthier

Slant Magazine

The rare piece of transgressive art that's more grimly meditative than satirical or allegorical, A Serbian Film's most daring aspect may be the muddle of soul-searching it demands from its audience.

Rated: 3/4

"A Serbian Film" revels in its sheer inventive awfulness and dares the viewer to find a more serious layer of meaning.

A Serbian Film still rips apart our morals, and deepthroats us with them until we vomit our own regrets. For me it still holds the title as most nasty, disturbing, controversial and fucked-up horror movie to ever exist.

Rated: 5/5

A Serbian Film seems to have more in mind than it conveys on the outer surface. But it remains effective, one gruesome way or another.

Rated: 3.5/5

Any remnants of socio-political commentary from the film's initial scenes are ultimately washed away in a sea of sweat, blood and semen, leaving behind only the broadest, most unsophisticated of allegorical metaphors.

Rated: 1/5

The story itself was pretty good, but the way it was told is really messed up. Do not watch if you have thin skin.

Prepare yourself for some hardcore stuff! 😳 In a sick strange way, this movie shows the obvious evil that exists in this world. It does NOT praise any of the depravity! The main character is a bit crazy of course and a weak man. He has some fleeting standards and a tiny bit of morals of things he personally would never do in life or on film such as extreme violence or anyone under age. It made him truly uncomfortable and he wanted out of this new well paying venture, but he should have went directly to the police once he saw what this was becoming. This movie is not for the faint of heart, so be warned. But if you watch it, watch it knowing there is still good on this planet trying to stop this evil. And you may have to shower away the doom and gloom mood after seeing this! 😐

I challenge anyone to watch this without thinking that the lead actor is David Spade.

This isn't a film for a casual watch, and neither is it a film if you don't understand or are not interested in the complexities of human behaviour - especially the depraved lengths ordinary people will go to when desperate . It is hard hitting - it is meant to be. It is a mirror of humanity.
