Just saw the French/Belgian horror film "Raw" at the Toronto Film Festival. Pretty impressive, but definitely not for the faint of stomach, as there's quite a lot of gore and creepy cannibalistic body horror.
That said, there's a hazing scene about 2/3 of the way through in which the lead (playing a freshman at a sadistic veterinary college) enters a room only to get a huge bucket of blue paint thrown all over her. She's joined by another frosh who's already slathered head-to-toe yellow, and they're tossed into a washroom and told to not come out until they're both green (clever). The coverage is quite astonishing and took me by surprise. The scene does end with some painful and brutal gore though, so be warned.
The flick has already gained some notoriety due to faintings and walkouts, so it stands a good chance of solid distribution.

Sounds interesting. Not a fan of gore movies usually, though will sometimes make exceptions for critically claimed ones. What are the two women wearing, and do you get decent views of the coverage happening to the blue one?
Should have clarified, the one in yellow is a dude. As for coverage, she's wearing nightmare when she gets hit, but if memory serves, she immediately strips down. There are several lingering shots on her face and head, which are solid shiny blue. There's also a showering scene afterwards.
Fair enough, I was hoping for a vet nurse tunic and trousers getting covered and then her sliding around in paint-drenched clothes, ta for the info anyway!
Love you, too
