God disembowels himself with a straight razor. The spirit-like Mother Earth emerges, venturing into a bleak, barren landscape. Twitching and cowering, the Son Of Earth is set upon by faceless cannibals.

Begotten Ratings & Reviews
The Movie Sleuth
Michelle Kisner
Begotten holds power as a bizarre and mystifying piece of art that still haunts viewers.
Dennis Schwartz Movie Reviews
Dennis Schwartz
This one is made for freaks and those who love strange films.
New York Times
Janet Maslin
Mr. Merhige's concentration, while impressive in its way, seems almost entirely self-contained, with little effort to engage an audience on even the level of myth; the film's approach is far too grotesque for that.
Rob's Movie Vault
Rob Gonsalves
Plays too much like an earnest repertory-theater group going through various bizarro configurations.
MovieMartyr.com
Jeremy Heilman
A passion play that wavers between amateur-hour incompetence and an undeniable directorial vision.
Goatdog's Movies
Michael W. Phillips, Jr.
I have said 'I have never seen anything like it' about other films, but it has never applied to something so entirely alien as this.
Wired
Phil Hall
Brilliant experimental feature, truly shocking and original.
Chicago Reader
Jonathan Rosenbaum
If you're squeamish you should avoid this like the plague; others may find it hard to shake off the artistry and originality of this visionary effort. And if you're looking to be freaked out you shouldn't pass it up.
