What is the most disturbing movie you've see

Post Reply New Topic

I seen most of what your mentioning, I really don't want to see requiem for a dream because i know theres a anti-drug message in it and i don't want that in my subconscious it could ruin my psychedelic experiences

He was innocent?

-Bill, otherwise known as Kraichgauer

I got the impression the photographer was guilty, but I thought that was a weak choice on the part of the film makers. I thought it would have been a more interesting film if the guy WAS innocent but had been manipulated by the girl. Anyway, I thought there were interesting things about Hard Candy, but that it went for simpler, more obvious choices that I would have liked.

I saw Hard Candy. He was definitely not innocent for a number of reasons:

*Child grooming.
*Vetting girls and targeting minors specifically.
*He was going to ply what he thought was a child with alcohol.
*He photographs young girls, less said about this bit the better.
*He engaged in other activities with them.
*From the Wiki, it covers it better than I can:

So yeah, the guy was sick. And I worry about anyone having seen the film calling him the good guy.

I finished watching The Fly on Film 4.
It was quite gruesome to watch even though I've seen it enough times.
I will say it is one of the most disturbing movies I have ever seen.

The most disturbing film is not a film but a tv series called Armchair Thriller allthough I have forgotton most of the storys the opening credits and theam tune were very disturbing, this was show was on itv (in the uk) 8.00/8.30 pm pre watershed I would have been about 7 or 8 and still gives me gose bumps when I see it.

"The Perfect Host" disturbing and funny at the same time.

Oh my gosh...someone else who watches Svankmajer films??

Gummo
Kids

The bathtub scene in Gummo really grosses me out.

Some of the movies posted here that other people find disturbing I rather like,I'm not saying they are happy feel good movies.I liked Silence of the Lambs(but not Hannibal) and Requiem for a Dream.

I found Pretty Woman disturbing because it puts the thought out there that if your a hooker some nice handsome rich man is going to rescue you,no someone like the Greenriver killer is going to pick you up.

Movies I can never watch again because I cried so much
Schindler's list
Welcome to Sarajevo

"Anti-Christ" with Willam Dafoe. Disturbing on so many levels.

Zero Day (2003) - it's about the videotapes of school shooters. It's actually not disturbing at all until you get to the final scene because somehow it's all pretty realistic.
I can't stomach any violence in movies whatsoever so I guess most of you wouldn't find that scene disturbing. But it has that psychological component of watching two seemingly normal teenagers go down into a mental and real abyss.

Most of the films mentioned -- Salo, Audition, Human Centipede, Eraserhead -- I've heard enough about that I'll likely never watch them. A friend of mine is desperate for me to see AntiChrist, but I'm betting it's not for me either. I stay away from any of the "torture-porn" stuff.

Requeim for a Dream I HAVE seen, and yeah...it's pretty rough. Definitely not for the squeamish or depressed. Watching Jared Leto inject heroin into a severely infected arm is a scene I won't forget for a loooooong time.

The amputation scene in Pan's Labyrinth was pretty gruesome too, although you technically didn't see much, so most of it is in your head, similar to the shower scenes in Psycho and Scarface.

The mother's murder in Heavenly Creatures stuck with me for a long time. Her cries didn't even sound human, but more like an animal.

The closing scenes of Apocalypse Now, when the cow is being killed at the same time as Kurtz -- was equally disturbing.

And in the Brando remake of Island of Dr. Moreau, the appearance of the little red guy actually pushed me into a panic attack -- no kidding. No offense to the Little People community, but that little guy TRULY freaked me out.


One film that I have NO desire to every see again is Henry: Portrait of a Serial Killer. It's not particularly violent or gory or anything like that -- although there are a few intense scenes. It's just the whole tone of the thing -- it takes a completely non-judgemental observational approach to this man's life. Henry kills people, he pals up with a dirtbag who rapes his own sister and who helps Henry kill more people, and he even (maybe) kills the girl you think he's going to have a relationship with. It's almost like it was filmed through a security camera. The camerawork was completely detached from any kind of compassion or sympathy or anger at Henry's actions. I saw it like 20 years ago, and still have enough uneasy memories to last the rest of my life.

I never made it through Dune. Two scenes -- the big "vagina monster" (that's what it looked like to me) in the glass case, and the guy with all the boils crushing a mouse in a little contraption and then drinking out whatever juice was made -- grossed me out enough that I wasn't interested in the rest. ALL of David Lynch's films are disturbing. Cronenberg's too.

One I haven't seen but read some about called Cannibal Holocaust is supposed to be pretty bad, as well as one called Battle Shock.

Rampage is pretty disturbing.

Anything that has to do with Barbie.

I thought of another one; Apocalypto.

Black Rock arggg!.... i was pissed the whole time i watched that movie.
