Begotten is a 1991 Experimental/horror film, directed and written by E. Elias Merhige.
The film heavily deals with religion and the biblical story of earth creation. But as Merhige revealed[citation needed] during Q&A sessions, its primary inspiration was a near death experience he had when he was 19, after a car crash. The film features no dialogue, but rather uses harsh and uncompromising images of human pain and suffering to tell its tale.
Mehrige also revealed in Q&A sessions that he would like this film to be the first of a trilogy. He is however experiencing difficulties getting proper funding for such uncompromising and uncommercial projects, and it is unknown if/when the two other films will ever be made.
Music video "Cryptorchid", single for Antichrist Superstar by Marilyn Manson, was directed by E. Elias Merhige and includes footage from Begotten.[1]
