Brutal (2006)

This is a movie with a very unique mix of genres. The language is filthy and very realistic. The movie starts as a found footage style crime thriller that looks real and authentic, uses comic relief and shocks during fights and difficult situations, with crazy camera angles and weird editing, only to evolve into a very bizarre horror black comedy, that feels like an independent '70's American Horror Thriller. The true colors of the movie can only be revealed in the very end, and the whole experience can make you think deeply about actions and consequences, and how dangerous it is to imitate what you see in movies. The violence is over the top, totally out there, but there are moments that feels extraordinary real and can have an impact on the viewer. THIS WAS MY FIRST ATTEMPT to create something out of nothing and it worked. The actors were friends, some of them semi-professional, and at first everybody thought that I was just filming the rehearsals of the scenes. There was a lot of improvisation, based on my lead. I was giving them the line based on the script I wrote, and they-without having read the script- they were forced to answer to my questions, especially cause I was pushing everything too far. The only rehearsed scenes that we had to plan in advance, were the violent fights. I kept putting the camera in the strangest places and nobody could ever imagine that I could manage to make a full movie out of that. Everyone was fully surprised by the TRAILER, they had no idea how I managed to make it work, but I was creating trailers for television every day for the previous 2 years under a lot of pressure.
