Films with a dark and gritty fetish aesthetic

[l.b.]

Terror From Under the House aka Revenge! aka The Inn of the Frightened People. it's really a bit shit, awful lightning and camera work, most copies i've seen have severe wear, spots on the film, etc. But it does have child murder, rape-revenge, incest, abduction and torture, etc. The shittiness of the movie itself makes all these themes a bit more, well, "dark and gritty"

"Wife To Be Sacrificed."

Oh, "8mm" is terrible! I watched it last week on cable. Best scene is the basement porn convention where dealers openly sell kiddie photos but frown on snuff videos. A much better film with the same theme is "Hardcore" starring George C. Scott.

I've not seen 8mm, but from the description above I was about to post that it sounds a poor pastiche of Hardcore.

As much as I've tried, I simply cannot erase Big Dick Black from my memory.
