SXSW has announced their line-up, and the Fantastic Fest midnight portion looks especially strong.

He says: This is a film that left me feeling dirty and assaulted, a film that will surely spark protest and deservedly so. But it is also something far more than just exploitation – a factor that makes it all the more powerful and disturbing.
I think the dirty and assaulted part comes through in the trailer below. You’ve been warned.
