    Terrifying experience requires strong stomach

    I have seen the short film "Cutting Moments" on the Brussels 1997 International Festival of Fantastic Film. The film has some visual content you will remember for the rest of your life.

    I was surprised that such a film was shown during a free afternoon screening open to everyone.

    I would not recommend this film to sensitive people or children who can experience a very emotional reaction watching this film. Required are strong nerves and a strong stomach.

    In summary I think this film could represent a once-in-a-lifetime viewing experience.
