In ancient Egyptian mythology, a dead person's soul would be weighed against the feather of truth in a ritual called a psychostasy. If their soul was lighter than the feather, it would ascend into the afterlife. Heavy souls were devoured by Maat, eater of the dead. Good films go to hard drive heaven while the recycle bin eats the rest.

Begotten (1991)
A horror directed by E. Elias Merhige.
Dirty things get dirtier through the use of violence and sexual perversion.
The audio and video were so bad that it was obviously intentional. The crickets were REALLY ANNOYING!!!
This was suggested by the same source as Tetsuo: The Iron Man and I spent the whole time waiting for it to end so I could write a slanderous review of it. We were talking about crazy movies when they suggested these 2 and I have doubts about their definition of crazy. Disgusting is a more accurate term. The lack of dialogue and excessive use of cricket sounds combined with shoddy camera work and an intense video editing process that took more time than it was worth ensure failure. The best way to describe this is like dark lo-fi black metal. It's intended for a narrow audience and makes anyone else feel sick. Imagine a video representation of Burzum's first album.
