Unspeakable (2000 Video)
10/10
Genius -- my favorite Troma film

Warning: Spoilers
Troma is a film studio usually known to put out excellently "trashy" films that are filled to the brim with gore and humor. As much I love those films, my favorite Troma films tend to be the more "serious" ones like Combat Shock, Bloodsucking Freaks, and this, Unspeakable.

Unspeakable is the tale of a guy who loses his daughter in a car accident. His wife is also badly injured in the car wreck, and a caretaker comes over to take care (and rape) his wife while he is a away, killing prostitutes as an act of revenge against God.

What we have here is a film that is legitimately disturbing. In fact, it's probably one of maybe 5 films I could ever say this about -- there were at least 2 scenes in this that disturbed the hell out of me. The film is dark, violent, well-acted, and at times pretty funny. The whole thing was well-made, the music was good, and it's barely 80 minutes long, making it one of the easiest films ever to watch.

Really, for what it is, it's a completely perfect film. Stay away if you're easily disturbed. I think, as usual, a lot of people come to films like this, seeing the Troma brand name, and expecting Toxie ripping people's heads off or whatever. This isn't really anything like a typical "Troma" film, so be warned... however, it is easily amongst the best films you'll ever see. A classic.
