A Serbian Film

Audience emotional responses are overwhelmingly dominated by intense negative feelings. Disgust and a profound sense of being disturbed are paramount, stemming directly from the film's graphic depiction of pedophilia, necrophilia, and torture. This is coupled with significant fear and anxiety for the protagonist Milos and his family as he descends into a nightmarish world with no escape. Anger is also a strong emotion, directed at the film's villains and the horrific acts portrayed. Sadness and empathy are present due to the tragic circumstances and the protagonist's desperate plight, aligning with its extreme horror and thriller genres.
