Attention, ladies and gentlemen
to an accident
We're half way into the station
The doors will now be opened
to let you out
Please do as you're told
Ladies and gentlemen, let's go
Through the carriages, to the platform
What's happened
A man threw himself under the train
Leave the platform as fast as you can
Don't look at the track
He's been cut in half
Right, let's go!
Move!
Out you go, keep to one line, please
Keep going, eyes off the track
There's nothing to see, keep moving
A man threw himself on the track...
No looking, please!.
Don't touch anything!
Move on, there's nothing to see
Keep moving, don't be so morbid
Keep going, go on! Move along!
School of Mass Communication
November, 1955
It's just an outline
Well, I like your approach
It's a very sensitive subject
And just what the ghouls will lap up
But you're treating it objectively
Thanks
See in you class
Just one more thing...
On section No. 7...
"Audiovisual Violence"
I need more material
What kind?
because of its violent nature
You have access to the library
You could get me interesting material
You find this stuff interesting?
Not personally, only for my project
- Violent footage...
- As violent as possible
for films of such nature
They'd think I'm a freak
I can't promise anything
- Come back tomorrow
- Thanks
Right, see you next week
And keep going to the cinema
Are you Chema?
I'm Angela
Cool!
Listen, I hear you like violent films
and have quite a collection
Of what?
You know, gore, porn...
It's false and you can't have them
anyway
Go to a sex shop if you want a turn-on
It's for my thesis:
Audiovisual Violence
Try Mickey Mouse
So you want to see the tapes?
So you do have them?
Yes or no?
You, students, like shooting off
But you know zilch about movies
What do you know about it?
What I've got in here
You two-faced sods say my films are
crap, but you're all dying to see them
It's for my thesis...
I'm not interested in your -
Come on in
Do you want some?
No, thanks
Right to the point, then -
very well
Don't say I didn't warn you
Do you live with burglars?
I live alone
- No parents?
- They don't live in Madrid
This was my grandmother's.
She died last year
Don't touch anything
No one's allowed here.
You're lucky
Why me?
You're gorgeous
- Thanks
- You were born that way
Sit down, I don't charge for it
What do you want to see?
What have you got?
All types of porn
Soft, hard, violent, Eastern,
you name it - all hot stuff
I'm not interested in this kind of porn,
if that's all you have to offer...
You want action, then?
Very well...
I need the really violent stuff
Really violent? How nice.
You'll get off on this then
What is it?
"Fresh Blood" - a very beautiful
and educational film
What are they doing?
What do you think?
Removing his brain
God...
That's what you wanted, so don't get
squeamish
It's all real:
executions, beatings, lynchings...
great stuff
- Hello...
- Hello, Mr Figueroa
I need a favour
but I don't remember the title
Can I check the tapes?
- You mean, in the storeroom?
- I know it's irregular, but...
Come with me...
You know, it's odd...
no one ever asks to go in
But you're the second one today
Is that so?
He came in a moment ago...
Professor?
He can't hear me
Right, it's arranged by genres.
I'll leave you to it
Shouldn't we wait for him to finish?
No, I don't think you'll bother him
- No, of course not
It's so large, you won't bump into him
See you
"Pornography etc., Shelf 5H"
It's horrible!
Do people really watch such films?
You do, for one
That's different,
I don't enjoy them
It's loathsome
Ever seen anyone killed?
What do you think?
Not TV killing, real life killing
This is real.
What more do you want?
You don't get me
Mr Figueroa, we have to close now
Well, that's it
- Hi, bookworm
- Have you seen Figueroa?
So you go for older men, do you?
Did you find him?
He didn't come to class, nor did you.
Where were you?
Never mind...
I'm off
Can a film kill someone?
A heart attack or something like that...
...caused by what they see
Not again! Wasn't yesterday enough?
You're a real sadist, aren't you?
If so, you'd even f*** a freak like me
I've got money
We're off...
- Sena?
- Coming!
Sure you won't come?
No, I must work on my thesis
Then you'll want to borrow
my clothes!
Don't work too hard...
- Mum?
- What?
- What's on this tape?
- What tape?
In the VCR. Did you watch it
last night?
See what it is
- It's mine
- Can't I watch it?
- It's for my thesis... it'll bore you!
- How do you know?
I bet it's not just a reportage
Silence!
Please quiet down
Hello everyone
I suppose you've all heard
the sad news
Prof. Figueroa died on Tuesday
He was found in the screening room
Apparently he had an asthma attack
while watching a film
I bet it was a Spanish film
You saw the film?
Did you take it?
My name is Castro
Jorge Castro
I'm a professor of Audiovisual
Psychology, as some of you know
I'll be replacing Prof. Figueroa
for the time being
I know the programme quite well...
...so we should be able to carry on
as normal
Which reminds me...
Angela Marquez?
I believe Prof. Figueroa supervised
your thesis
I'd be happy to take it on
We can discuss it whenever you like
You're losing it
I'm not. You found him dead
and took the tape
I didn't!
She did it! She took the tape!
- Why should I show it to you?
- Why do you want it?
- Why do you?
- It's for my thesis...
- Bullshit! What the f***'s on it?
I don't know
What?
I haven't seen it yet
You're stupid or what?
Your place or mine?
Give me the tape
Let the fun begin
I can't!
Your loss
Switch it off!
It's real!
What?
A girl, tied to a chair, being beaten
by a guy wearing a balaclava
Why are you doing this to me?
Sh*t, this is horrible!
I can't...
What's he going to do to her?
Don't watch!
I don't want to
Don't look!
Don't look!
I know her
She was at the university
She disappeared two years ago
Is she dead?
What else? They blew her brains out
What are they doing now?
- Cutting her up
- Jesus!
Switch it off!
I knew it!
The bastard's a butcher
Her name was Vanessa
Why did they do it to her?
It looks like a garage, doesn't it?
Yes, it's a garage
- It is a garage!
- So what?
- She was tortured and killed
- You don't say!
How can you watch this filth?
- You stole that filth!
- I didn't know what it was
No, but you had an idea...
deep down you like it
- What did you say?
- You heard me
That's really stupid!
- Wait, what the hell's this?
- I'm not watching!
I'm talking of the texture
The horizontal lines...
I only see intestines...
You've learnt nothing in 5 years.
The texture's different
