I've nothing to do with this movie, but it's so good, I feel I have to promote it. It's a toetag production, directed by Fred Vogel. The basic synopsis (pulled from our wiki):
Sergeant Brad Roback [Damien Maruscak] is coming home from Iraq in a wheelchair. With no memory of the attack, or what occurred afterward, and with the loss of function in his legs, it is natural that Brad is confused and dazed. But something more is wrong with Brad. He looks half-dead, with red sunken eyes and a ghastly pallor. He cannot eat; his body oozes black fluid, the stench from which is like the stench of death. As Brad deteriorates, his family gathered round to support him but unable to reach him, the full toll of war is seen. Sella Turcica is a brutal, brilliant statement about the terrors of war. With excellent acting that brings home the gutwrenching horror of what is happening, highly effective makeup and special effects, and a story that will fester in your brain, Sella Turcica is one of the best anti-war horror films we've ever seen.
