The perfect marriage of psychological horror and noir, Angel Heart, finally comes home this summer with a special 4K Ultra HD Limited Edition SteelBook. What do you guys think of A Serbian Film? Watch for more on this as it’s officially announced. Apparently, there are over sixty hours of unreleased footage that will be cut into extended special features for the newly edited release. According to the announcement, Spasojevic’s journey into the bowels of depravity is going to have a new cut that will be five minutes longer. News came out of Texas Frightmare this past weekend, via SFM, that Unearthed Films will be behind an Ultimate Director’s Cut of A Serbian Film. With or without this scene, however, A Serbian Film is a weirdly overlooked classic that deserves a special release, especially if the filmmaker has more footage never-before-seen by fans. I don’t think A Serbian Film wears it as a badge of honor, especially because I don’t believe this horrible sequence is included just for shock value (that’s an argument for another day). Yes, there is a scene within this movie that’s quite possibly the most disturbing in the history of film. The film is a gorgeous, yet horrific “Alice in Wonderland” tale that follows an aging porn star who agrees to participate in an “art film” in order to make a clean break from the business, only to discover that he has been drafted into making a pedophilia and necrophilia themed snuff film. Younger readers looking for shock cinema that they may not have heard much about, Srdjan Spasojevic’s A Serbian Film quietly made waves before Ben Wheatley’s Kill List a few years later.
