I can say confidently that Night and Fog (1956) was one of the most horrifying films I have ever seen. My jaw was open for the entirety of this film, even though it was only 32 minutes. The images got worse as the film went on, and it was truly hard to watch at some points. Everyone knows how terrible the Holocaust was, but this film really showed how horrible it was. I will never be able to get rid of the image of a bulldozer picking up dead human bodies. It was one of the hardest things I ever had to watch. This film is extremely powerful because it truly shows no filter on any of the images shown as well. Although it’s a really hard film to watch, this film really shows how awful the Holocaust was. The fact that there were sub texts throughout the documentary also really added to the overall tone of the film. I believe the words appearing on screen made it more depressing to watch. Overall, this was a great film, but one that was really hard to look at the screen for its entirety.
