There are some movies that you absolutely want to have on your hard drive but that you hesitate to see. They may have some culty reputation but they are just too shocking for normal perverts. I posted the Men Under The Sun movies before, about the WWII Japanese atrocities in China. Now, I can take some gore, but these type of films are pretty realistic and meant to super-shock the viewer from a political and/or nationalistic point of view. I do not question the integrity of the people who made these movies - but they sure give you a hard time watching.

Chekist is an above average Russian movie from 1992 [no subtitles] and about as disturbing as the aforementioned Taiwanese movies. Srubov is a part of CHEKA, the secret police Lenin established after the Bolshevik Revolution. They arrest, interview for a minute, try in ten seconds, and execute intellectuals, aristocrats, Jews, clergy, and their families. In the building basement, five people at a time are shot as they stand naked facing wooden doors. No one to remember their last words, no martyrs, just anonymous bodies. Daily executions and the loading of bodies onto wagons. Srubov is cold, distant, sexually dysfunctional, and a deep thinker, hated by former friends and his family. As he tries to reason the nature of revolution and the purpose of CHEKA, he slowly goes mad.
