Welcome back to Once Upon a Movie, where we explore the deeper connections between life and film. In this intense episode, Chino is joined by horror connoisseur and TikTok creator, Sinister Tims, for an unfiltered discussion on the most extreme horror movies ever made. From divisive cult classics like A Serbian Film and Salò to the visceral terror of Eden Lake, we dissect what makes these films so powerful, controversial, and, at times, unbearable to watch.

We explore the psychology of extreme horror, the role of shock value, and the fine line between cinematic art and exploitation. Sinister Tims opens up about his earliest horror memories, how his father's VHS collection shaped his love for the genre, and why he still revisits films that scarred him as a child.

Whether you’re curious about the darker side of horror or looking to test your limits, this episode pulls no punches. We also discuss the polarizing nature of "elevated horror" and its impact on the modern horror landscape. This is a raw, thought-provoking conversation that takes you to the depths of horror cinema.
