This is the most amateurish cinematic junk I have ever seen on the digital versatile disc medium. I suspect that Hussain and his following thrive on criticism, so I'll be brief. Simply put its is plotless, pointless and could have been made by high school students with an excess of angst. A series of gore effects interspersed with obtuse camera angles - that is it. My comments for the other Sazuma screener (Cannibal Ferox) I received hold true...

"I really can't even classify this as anything - to me this isn't even film - it is 'anti-cinema'. It expresses all of the opposing attributes of what heights film is capable of reaching. Where a vision like Anh Hung Tran's "The Vertical Ray of the Sun" may express all the beauty of the world around us - family, love, desire - Subconscious Cruelty focuses on exploiting its audiences most base emotions. It is film-makers like this that should be honest and simply film live executions or traffic fatalities. There is nothing positive about this film and I question the emotional depth of anyone who creates or enjoys it."

Actually Cannibal Ferox looks like something from D.W. Griffith compared to Subconscious Cruelty. My advice to Hussain is - before making film, learn a little about cinema - watch Ozu, Tarkovsky and The Dardenne Brothers to gain a much needed perspective and centric base.... anyone can film themselves defecating and later call it 'art'.
