Most DISTURBING movie you have ever seen?

[slobone]

Are you talking about the original B&W version of Night of the Living Dead? That was messed up.

Yes definitely, I'm not interested in seeing the remake. One of the things that made the original so scary was the low-budget filmmaking. It made you feel like the characters' lives weren't worth very much -- which turns out to be the case.

 

[Pushover]

The main characters always die in th end, and that always pisses me off, and I always end up watching another version even though it ends the same.

Seven is one of my favorite movies and Morgan Freeman's voice still gives me a woody.

Seven: starring Brad Pitt, Gwyneth Paltrow & Morgan Freeman. Very dark, grisly and morbid for me. It disturbed me so much that i thought about it for days and days and that there probably are people out there that do such unspeakable acts of violance. There were three of us that went to the movie and after we got out, we couldn't even talk about it without feeling creeped out.

Name a movie that you found to be so disturbing that you couldn't stop thinking about it for days and even now it still had an impact on you.

For me it was Requiem for a Dream. Starring Jared Leto, Ellen Burstyn, Jennifer Connelly and Marlon Waynes. It's about when the drug-induced utopias of four Coney Island individuals are shattered when their addictions become stronger.

What was disturbing was how you witness their lives just fall apart. Especially Ellen Burstyn's character. Quite captivating, ending is so despressing. Just disturbed me a lot. The imagery was intense. Very well directed. Dark movie

What movies have disturbed you and why?

The scene where he’s shooting up in the car, was one of the few times I have ever had to look away from the screen, when watching movies. Have to say it is one that I will not be seeing again.

Takashi Miike's 'Imprint'. Fetus wrangling in HD is not as fun as it sounds.

Clive Barker's Hellraiser is the one that freaks me out. The part when the centabites got Frank Chained up and he says with a pleasured look on his face "Jesus wept" then was torn apart gives me nightmares to this day.

 

[Marvels]

Oh, Suicide Club. The part where a girl happily tells her friends that she's going to kill herself - - and her friends think it's so cool that they all decide to kill themselves together.

And when we see the evil kids and their man-slace using a carpentry tool to cut off, like half the skin from their follower's back in some freaky basement ritual.

And the not-so-twisty plot twist about the real meaning of "Dessert".

I'm gonna watch that movie again.

For me it was Trainspotting. I can't stand the fact that they were taking heroin while there was a DIED BABY in the next room... I understand that drugs leave your mind that way, but.... it is horrible.

Disturbing movies Inland Empire, Eraserhead, Twin Peaks, Elephant...

 

[matt1980111]

Pan's Labyrinth

 

[SuperQueer]

Jacob's Ladder

 

[Castilian]

Pan's Labyrinth

How was that disturbing?

 

[G-Lexington]

Chien Andalou. Here's part one. Watch your eyes, kids.



Lex

 

[Dubious]

Butterfly Effect for me; how everyone's lives were better because he didn't exist. I found that thought to be particularly upsetting

 

[levenshulme31]

I tend to find films based on real events or with realistic scenarios disturbing. Outright horror films I find entertaining because I know they are fiction, however gory or horrific, but when the horror depicted actually happened in reality, that can really make me shiver.

So my list would include The Killing Fields, Schindlers List, Alpha Dog (the end of that chilled me)

Also films like Boyz 'n the Hood, Trainspotting, Saving Private Ryan. These, while strictly speaking fictional, felt real.

A couple come to mind...thanks to a thread on imdb, a couple of summers ago I watched a bunch of disturbing films...here were the best of the best.

1. Odishon (Audition) Japanese film directed by the great Takashi Miike, very disturbing torture scene, but a terrific film nonetheless
2. Irreversible by Gasper Noe, disturbing rape scene and a brutal murder, but again, there were some good things about this movie if you can get past the hardcore stuff. I see post # 26 mentioned this one, good one jack...
3. Exorcist--probably don't need a description here
4. Hostel
5. Salo 120 days of Sodom--Passolini's last film--too over the top disturbing to be enjoyed

 

[Ellybelly909]

what a fucking sick movie. WHAT is the point on wasting money to even create a film like this?

RE: post 132 henderson98

Funny games...and I so agree, the ending made me feel like shit...you know the reason we watch movies!

 

[patricks07]

Alright, I'm not sure if it's been mentioned, but Ichi the Killer. I haven't managed to finish it because I watched it with friends and we got to a scene where Ichi slices off a woman's leg and chases after her to rape her because "she doesn't want because she wants it" which we decided was way too much. The show also shows a guy cut his own tongue off, a torture involving grease...the violence and twisted shit is endless. The movie's got a good story line though and I feel like I have to finish it now...

 

[Paxton]

I would say "The exorcist". What's worse than evil living next door?

By the way: Isn't she adorable?
