Holocaust Film Boycotted for Being 'Too Gruesome'

THE DAILY TELEGRAPH: A German-made film about the horrors of the Nazi death camp of Auschwitz is so horrific that many critics have already said they will boycott it when it is released next year.

Auschwitz – an Uwe Boll film

A clip of Uwe Boll's film entitled Auschwitz is already on the internet, showing disturbing images of naked victims dying in gas chambers.

Mr Boll, a filmmaker who has made it his life's work to shock, said he wanted to present to the world "a movie about the Holocaust that tells it like it really was".

Tom Goldman, from videogame magazine the Escapist, said the film was "disturbing and gruesome and likely to push moviegoers over the edge". >>> Allan Hall in Berlin | Friday, November 12, 2010
