Review:
One word to describe Art of the Devil: HARDCORE. Do not watch this film while eating or after eating cause it would definitely turns your stomach upside down. This is one of the most disturbing films I have watched, ever. It's not only about the gore, but the brutal and gruesome presentation of torture and sadistic dismemberment. Characters die in the worst possible death. Though it does not possess those hair raising feelings that the film "Shutter" gave me, it gave me unique chill, that made me close my eyes or feel something in my stomach.
