Ouch! This film hurts.

Rating: 8/10 (14 March 2006)

By far one of the most disturbing movies ever made . This film proves that the horror of reality is truly more shocking than anything even the most bizarre and deranged minds can conjure up . Worried about someone you know getting into drugs , show them this film and it may just change their minds . Unlike many of its counterparts (Trainspotting , Basketball Diaries) Requiem for a Dream does not glorify drug abuse but in fact does the exact opposite . A tale of four people who fall deeper and deeper into their addictions as the film progresses , the movie shows every aspect of the negativity of their individual addictions and does not point out one positive or happy side to their lifestyles . The last twenty minutes of this film is indeed the scariest thing I have ever seen on film (and I have seen a lot of scary films) and will leave even the toughest film watchers shaken. This film should be in the horror section of every film store and shown as drug education in every school.
