Most DISTURBING movie you have ever seen?

[joesman]

Saving Private Ryan. On so many levels, but especially the German killing the Jewish guy while the wimp could not move up the stairs to help him. It haunted me for days, and especially since they had let the German go in an earlier scene. War has no conscience much as government doesn't.

I agree with jno125. The Hills Have Eyes had no redeeming quality, quite disturbing, if it hadn't been pouring outside I would have walked out like quite a few others in the audience did.

The Texas Chainsaw Massacre!

The original movie, as I refuse to see the one made recently made! After seeing the movie in the mid 1980s, I couldn't eat bar-BQ for some five years after!

Obviously, TCM was made by a bunch of hippie vegetarians who were trying to steer people away from eating meat, and I think they were successful to a certain degree. As a vegetarian myself, I have always told people that if they visit a slaughterhouse, they will never eat meat again, and "TCM" conveyed the horrors of animal slaughter for food by putting it on a level that we could relate to, with us instead of cows as the victims who are hung on meat hooks to be drained of our blood before being dismembered.

The remake of "TCM" was very well-done, but the original is an undisputed classic, and definitely very disturbing. There will never be another film like it. It kind of had a documentary-like feel that made you feel as though you were watching an actual snuff film. It's one of the greatest horror films of all time.

"All Dogs Go to Heaven" - Movie magic: Take two stray dogs, combine with homeless orphan with leukemia and set in a junk yard. It's a twisted movie.

That movie is great!

They showed us a movie called the day after in high school about ten years ago and it still haunts me...it was actually set in the 80's and the Russians and U.S. go to war and as hokey as some of the effects were it was scary. It shows you the effect of nuclear winter on a small Kansas town. For some reason, it's stayed with me.

Festen.

mine are all 3 Final Destination movies especailly the second one. most of the things that happen to them people can and do happen every day all over the world. the opening scene of the second one seemed sooo real to me, i still think about it every time i drive on a wet highway. and the fact that i am SOOOO OBSESSED with roller coasters, now the third one will get to me every time i go to an amusement park. Another movie is the day after tomarrow. to think that can and prolly will happen one day to the world is crazy. also the laramie project. i cry like the whole movie.

Totally agree. Final Destination(s) disturbed me all three times. The killer is intangible (death itself) so there is no way for victims to fight back. Some of the most creative gore I've seen. CREEPY as Hell.

Saw It was disturbing

 

[AT_Atall]

High Tension made me nervous about driving home at 2am from a comparatively rural location, and one of the opening scenes of a blowjob from a decapitated head stuck with me for a while.

It was the DVD, which has UNRATED plastered on the cover, so it may have been different from any theater version. Dunno!

 

[coco2006]

definetely Salo: 100 Days of Sodom

Yes... the only movie I haven't be able to watch still the end... The director was just insane...

 

[henderson98]

oh wow! Glad to see this thread still movin'.

I just recently watched a Guinea Pig movie. A friend rented it at some slummy video store. It's basically two hours of a girl being tortured. It's an old Cult Classic Japanese Horror film. IMDB it and find out more... LOL

It's pretty sick and disturbing....

I know this is cheesy, but Brokeback Mountain disturbed me. It's probably the most tragic story I've ever seen. And it had a bigger impact on me the 2nd time I watched it than the 1st time.

Growing up in a small hicktown myself I could really empathise with the characters, but to throw away true love and happiness like that for the rest of your life because of your own fear and self-loathing...and when Ennis buttons up Jacks shirt at the end, good god, I'm a little ashamed to say I couldn't stop crying! I think I cried for a good 20 minutes; I've honestly never cried after a sad movie - just watery eyes and a lumpy throat. Brokeback Mountain made me cry like a baby. It's tragic, and heartbreaking.

The last movie that gave me such a profound punch in the stomach was Requiem for a Dream and I obsessed about that movie for months. I think Brokeback Mountain is going to haunt me for even longer.

I mean I'm glad I watched it, but sort of wish I didn't.

Ditto!

I haven't read the entire thread so if I'm repeating other comments, sorry.
I was disturbed by the "Non Fiction" segment of Todd Solodnz's film Story Telling.
The wealthy suburban maid is unjustly fired and my jaw dropped at how she responds.
I won't say what she does because it would spoil the ending. I was more disturbed by that scene than the controversial sex scene in the "Fiction" segment.

I should also mention Open Water Open Water Open Water. The lightning storm in the pitch black night scene was very scary, and contrary to a previous poster the film does indeed have an ending and it broke my heart. The really disturbing thing about the film is how real, ordinary people can meet horific fates. Much scarier than monsters like Jason, Freddy, or Frankenstein, etc.

 

[FirePhoenix]

the Saw movies were disturbing to me, not in the way of blood and dead but that we waste so much of our life and hurt ourselves and others and we don't appreciate life. To me that was more real to me than I would like to admit.

 

[willsboy84]

anyone seen a movie called "Make Them Die Slowly"? can't remember all the details as i've only watched it once. 2 things do stick out in my mind though...the horrible acting and a scene where they string this dude up, one of the cannibals pulls out the guy's dick and proceeds to chop it off and eat it. they didn't even censor that shit...and it kinda came outta nowhere. it was one of those movies where when you're watching it you're like "why the fuck am i watching this shit?" but yet you just can't look away.......

I was soooo thinking of "The Silence of the Lambs" when I saw the topic, but I'm apperently not the first one to think of it. I just think it's so disturbing how Buffalo Bill was based on a real person. Then you factor Hannibal in there and it's a freak show. It's a great psychological movie and I love it.

 

[Yuki Sohma]

Yes, I would say that "Silence of the Lambs" is a very disturbing flick and may also be the most disturbing. "Jaws" also freaks me out.

 

[TaigaStar]

Let me see...

The Exorcism of Emily Rose still keeps me awake at night, even though the true story is nothing like the movie. (Oddly, the fear of demonic possession starts to go away when I start thinking about The Ring).
