What's the most disturbing film you've seen?

Sorry I couldn't answer earlier- hectic weekend here.

I think the women were the Gynocide victims She was reading about. Maybe they are a reflection of his emotions - a feeling He set them free by killing Her. Some think He dies in the woods and that's why He sees them.

Von Trier was quite brave touching such a taboo subject - women can be just as violent and abusive as men - but their traditional nurturing role makes many shy away from the idea. Plus, since they've got the short end of the sick for so long, some women fear that talking openly about that might only cause further abuse. But I was quite disappointed by the way some feminists attacked this film.

For me, it's in many ways a film about choice - there's a dark corner in all of us, filled with potential violence and madness waiting to happen. Many don't have the strength to know and accept that side and trying to make sense of the cruelty and "unfairness" of the world we live in can be a devastating process.

There are a few interesting interpretations on IMDB - if you're patient enough to search through all the crappy ones.

Awesome! Thank you so much... your insights have given me a bit more understanding of the film, I believe.

ive never been more disturbed at 10 or 11 years old after watching the birds. sh******t.

I loved Silence of the Lambs, especially when Hannibal said this," I ate his liver with fava beans and a nice Chianti." Then he inhales sharply ..... It's that strange noise he makes.

It sent chills up my spine and I was disturbed by the cannibalism but my fascination with pyschology made me want to watch again and again.

I loved how evil Hannibal was and that he is not a senseless killer, he's a genius

I tend to avoid extreme horror movies but I've seen quite a few Korean films which, although perhaps not conventionally disturbing in terms of horror and gore (although H and Oldboy do have their moments) just produce as deep feeling of unease while watching them due to the subject matter. Bad Guy is the one that most readily springs to mind. It has some seriously messed-up stuff in it but at the same time you find yourself feeling sympathetic towards the characters. It's also pretty weird.

once, when tammy came over, she insisted on watching a movie called "the never ending story". i found it greatly disturbing because i was trying to work on a program, and she had it turned up loud.

thank goodness the movie title was incorrect or else i would have been driven insane.

Andy Warhol's Frankenstein in 3D. It was so gross I almost got sick to my stomach, and it wasn't much of a story, either.

The Ring ... if horror movies count

Shadi

The Grudge. That was just all sorts of creepy and I usually avoid scary movies

Un chien Andalou

its a french surrealistic film ( black and white silent film) by Salvador Dali from 1920s

its freaky

Earthlings is the most disturbing film I've ever seen. Although a few others like Irreversible, Pink Flamingos and A Hole in My Heart also qualify. I used to be kinda obsessed with disturbing films

Changeling (recent).
