The extraordinary first film from the director of Shadow of the Vampire
The Premise
Begotten is the creation myth brought to life, the story of no less than the violent death of God and the (re)birth of nature on a barren earth.
Why It Terrifies Us
Categorized under Experimental Horror, Begotten taps into fundamental fears. The 6.6/100 Scare Score is well-earned. The themes of nihilism, necrophilia, pregnancy continually haunt viewers long after the credits roll.
