What do you think? Personally I am miffed about this since I couldn't really see his stuff before he got jail-fucked, but I dunno. True some can create pretty twisted things but then again what is the difference between him and the "anti-christ" movie from Lars von Trier? When is it considered wrong and why one got a prize and the other get in jail?

I don't know for you, but ambiguity like theses makes me very interested.

A make-up artist specialized in horror is facing a criminal accusation for producing and spreading on the net horrors movies judged too realistic.

Rémy Couture could dearly pay his passion for horror, murder and blood wounds.
The Gore artist of 42 years old earn his life by disguising actors for horror movies. He can create realistic wounds that look extremly disgusting.

But to demonstrate his talent, Mister Coutur realized a couple of short movies that maybe cross the border. Named Inner Depravity 1 and 2, theses movies show a sadistic killer. It is hard to describe more details since what we see in it is so horrible.

To a point where a police investigation was started by Interpol (the international organisation of criminal police who has the goal of investigating crimes on the net)

“Last October 29, around 18h, Remy got arrested by the police [...] in front of his home. He passed the night at the police station [and faced] an interrogation about his website Innerdepravity.com. Remy got confiscated his computer and his website got closed”, can we read on a Facebook page that was created this week in a sign of support for his cause.
The artist must face court at the end of November to answer at an accusation of virtues.

Not a psychopath

Joined by the newspaper, Rémy Coutur didn’t wanted to comment his arrestation. His lawer didn’t called us back.
But on a forum specialized in horrors movie, the montrealer artist explained his way of working at amateurs who found that his movies were going too far.

« I can understand that people disagree with my art, he writes under the username Morgue666. What is frustrating in all this isn’t the fact that I simulate murders; maybe it is the face that over the fiction, theses things happen for real? On my part, I do not consider myself crazy or twisted or psychopath. There is always a line between passion and obsession.”

Rémy Coutur support, in this exchange from october 29 (the very same day of his arrestation by the police) that his website attracted more than 30 000 guests per months. He says he receive “tons” of e-mails, death treaths. He also admit that he knew his website had been mentionned to the police

More than 1400 people joined the group Facebook “Criminally accused for fiction”. Most people support Rémy Couture and are offended that the police want to shut an artist.

« If Inner Depravity is illegal, then we have to conclude that every horror movies, horror photography, Halloween, the demonstration of violence on the TV and in movies, etc... are also illegal. There will always be weaker willed people who will believe that everything that deviate from the “normality” is obviously criminal”, write Marilou Malette.
But even in horror movies fans, the movies Inner Depravity do not cause unanimously.

“Me, I think that you got a problem to realize such a twisted movie... This movie was only made to shock people... nothing else....” Write a named “Goriest” on the forum horreur-web.com
