Among the loves that dare not speak their name, brother and sister incest is probably the most quietly whispered. And when Daddy slips in for sloppy seconds, sister’s inner scream is transformed into the soundtrack of The War Zone (1999). Marking the directorial debut of edgy British actor Tim Roth, The War Zone is a trip through the minefield of dysfunctional family life, a battlefield where the casualties suffer in silence as lives worse than death descend, clutch them by the throat, and invade every orifice, never to be fully expelled. Grim, unflinching, and horrific, The War Zone presents a truth that is all the more unbelievable for being undeniably real.
