I think Night and Fog was very interesting, but freaking disgusting. I know Ivan and i were squirming in our chairs during all the shots of the the gouged eye sockets, the burning flesh, and the skeleton corpses. The severed body parts didn't really do much for us either. Other than that i think the film was very well shot, but had a creepy sense to it not only because of the constant theme of brutality, scandal, torture, and murder; but the disgustingly happy music playing in the background. As if it's going to make us smile and say "gee whiz! that's a great pit of burning bodies!". However, i still felt the need to puke under the table through the duration of the film. It really made me remember why Hitler, though he had an awesome mustache, was a horrible excuse for a human being.
On a lighter note,
The first movie was a lot less sickening in the physical form. It was more mentally horrifying to think that one man could brainwash all of those people into becoming his monkeys. He made all of those civilians believe in him and his promises while he killed millions of innocent people on his free time, and behind the backs of his "people".
I saw a movie like this one once in high school and it showed a segment about 20 seconds long of the SS marching with their Nazi flags with burning torches at the top in the form of a swastika. You can't tell me that's not creepy.

I completely agree, it was so gory and i felt so sick that i had to put my head down. Who picked the "scary" movie anyway? we should have picked the other one. do you think that the music or the annoying french narrator made parts barible? did it atleast leave an impact on you to the disturbing truths behind the holocaust?
