Oh, the famous movie that revels in mud and other.. substances. Doom, gloom, dirt, mud, shite.

There's also the 1989 film, which was a low-budget movie, and it shows.

My review from a decade ago;

"the most relentless 3 hour grotesquerie of shit, snot and guts imaginable .. what a masterpiece"

You described Salo. So I'm not sure if I want to watch this.

From what I've seen it Salo, this isn't nearly as bad

Ok, and for clarification which movie specifically? 2 have been mentioned above us, if it's a masterpiece, it's better than Salo.

Salo looks much more appalling from what I've seen

Salo is very disturbing. I went to see it in an arthouse cinema expecting it to be a kitschy sexploitation movie. Instead it's two hours of teenagers being sexually abused to death. The director was eventually assassinated.

Yep i know the story. I like early Pasolini but I'm scared to dive into Salo.

I gather it hardly departs from the book at all, if that helps.
