Horrifying Home Movies
Review date: 2007-10-05 Rating: 4 out of 10
Home movies filmed between 1948 and 1964, it is in grainy B&W. Opening images depicts a Hungarian couple, recording one another. It is Europe just post-World War II. There are still buildings lying in ruins. Then it goes on to the couple: he films her and she then films him. Then eventually goes onto their offspring. And some scenes we would deem not appropriate for film. The film veers between the vintage home movies and the video commentary by expert witnesses. Some witness read perhaps too much into what is happening, and only one of them shows any common sense. The movie is underscored with haunting music during the B/W portions. The filmmaker did go to far, in breaking into the ladies home to film the last reel. While this film is disturbing to watch, it is recommended.
