The Most Disturbing Movie...

[Σnigma]

...has to be 2001: A Space Odyssey. And if not, I'd go with the Dark Side of Oz.

What's the most disturbing movie / movie-moment you've ever chanced upon?

[poast-bortem!]

Eraserhead. :)

Rofl. What the fuck is disturbing about 2001?

I'd say the most disturbing is the remake of The Hills Have Eyes. A mother getting shot and eventually eaten. Another mother getting shot in the head. A girl getting raped by a mutant. Father getting burned alive...

Yeah, that's a fucked up movie.

Haute Tension is pretty fucked up as well.

[jimany]

The beginning of Hard Candy. The dude is so creepy I almost turned that shit off.

Nekromantik 2
Both fuckin good movies.

[goldaline, my dear]

what about Teeth?

Vagina Dentata is scary stuff. :D

[tibinstein]

That's easy, it's gotta be FUNNY GAMES.

Torturing a family for ones own amusement FTW...

[JChifty]

Kontroll

[Young Meth]

The Hills Have Eyes was pretty crazy.

Happiness.

[JChifty]

Ghostbusters is random as fuck.

[themessiahcomplex]

Pink Flamingos in an entirely different way than most of the movies mentioned are.

[Jordan]

Seven.

[Dog]

Seven.

That was a pretty fucked up movie when I first saw it. I was in disbelief that someone's head had actually been cut off (not to mention the other stuff).

It's rather scary that nowadays people wouldn't even flinch unless they SAW all the blood, gore, and knife-dildo rape.

[Σnigma]

Rofl. What the fuck is disturbing about 2001?
Uh, the acid trip at the end?

Cube 2: Hypercube got pretty odd at times, but mostly because it was a poorly-made movie. Still, it fucked with your head.

Visitor Q

[40oz.sauce]

August Underground's Mordum.

I could only watch 20 minutes of it, if you've seen Cannibal Holocaust- this is 50x worse.

EDIT: August Underground is the one I half saw, Mordum is the sequel- I haven't and will not watch it.

[THIS IS IMPORTANT GODDAMNIT]

...

[TheMeffChemistry]

Cabin Fever.... Wasn't disturbing but pretty weird I think...

Ended up being hilarious after watching again, good movie when stoned.

[Rocko]

Seven actually was a pretty fucked up movie.

[themessiahcomplex]

August Underground's Mordum.

I could only watch 20 minutes of it, if you've seen Cannibal Holocaust- this is 50x worse.

EDIT: August Underground is the one I half saw, Mordum is the sequel- I haven't and will not watch it.

I thought mordum was just too over the top to the point where it became corny and pointless. It was more like a faces of death video than an actual movie.

[Vizier]

Eraserhead. :)

This, without doubt.

[ArmsMerchant]

I saw The Shining in the theaters when it was new, creeped the shit out of me.

[40oz.sauce]

Actually, the first time I saw 28 Weeks Later (which contrary to what everyone says WAS a good movie) I was on mushrooms and it changed my life.

[1e-]

Pi was disturbing.

[Jordan]

Se7en.

[Fish]

Actually, the first time I saw 28 Weeks Later (which contrary to what everyone says WAS a good movie) I was on mushrooms and it changed my life.

That sounds like a hell of a story :eek:

for some reason, Pet Sematary always creeped me out...I think it was the thought of being chased down a hallway by the sister with spinal meningitis that did it for me. Having watched the movie more recently, it's not as disturbing as it was the first time...

I'd also say that Event Horizon was pretty disturbing. They implied that the ship went to hell and came back, but we'll never really know for sure...and the thought of it is, for lack of a better word, disturbing.

[OneSadisticFucker]

The Girl Next Door

It is a true story about a near preteen girl that gets tortured, stripped and raped by her own family and other neighborhood kids. The poor girl dies after her aunt burns her pussy out with a propane torch.

It was really hard to watch and I don't think I ever will again.

[Σnigma]

I'll throw Trolls 2 out there (which, coincidentally, didn't have trolls in it).
And Trolls (which, coincidentally, didn't have trolls in it.)
And Frogs (which, coincidentally, didn't have frogs in it.)
And Ewok Adventures (which, coincidentally, sucked.)

[Caramello Koala]

August Underground's Mordum.
I could only watch 20 minutes of it, if you've seen Cannibal Holocaust- this is 50x worse.

can't say i've seen mordum, but i have seen cannibal holocaust. that shit terrified me when i was younger, but i saw it again recently and it wasn't nearly as bad. it's still very disturbing though, the music/sound effects are extremely effective, as are the camera angles.

[ants in my poptarts]

hostel 2
i already didnt like sissors then i saw that fuckin movie

[Curb Stomp]

Can't believe no one's said House of a Thousand Corpses. I was kind of freaked out the first time i saw it. Also Midnight Meat Train was kinda creepy.

[alex333]

Sweeny Todd. just because its the only movie i ever had to walk out after the first 15 minutes. it was awful

[Mankonaut X]

SAW

Pun intended?
The Happiness of the Katakuris is pretty weird. Zombie Musical FTW.

[Intoxicated Shaman]

Troma movies (especially Tromeo and Juliet) and Se7en.

[Illuvatar]

Seven.

I first saw this when i was twelve, whats worse is, unlike alot of the gore movies, this has a higher degree of beleiveability to it, especially as a pre-teen.

[Caramello Koala]

Troma movies (especially Tromeo and Juliet) and Se7en.

tromeo and juliet wasn't disturbing, it was just weird. and se7en was boring as hell.

[johnplywd]

amittyville horror, the first on

[bobapanbeers]

Zardoz,

I mean common, nothing makes sense: why is Sean Connery so hairy?

What's the deal with the floting head? the writer must of been really, REALLY high

Event horizen is neither disturbing or ammusing.

It is, quite simply, a shit-pile.

that is my favorite scene ever other than SOTL. dont you EVAR knock that scene. many he got sum milkey tits and got the blonde girl right in the butt

[EssJay]

Bad Boy Bubby. But it's that "fucked up disturbing in a funny way" though.

[---Beany---]

Silent Hill had some disturbing parts to it.

[xxombie]

Can't believe no one's said House of a Thousand Corpses. I was kind of freaked out the first time i saw it.

First time I saw it I was like 12 and was fuck scared out of my face. But I loved it.

The Devils Rejects is more fucked up though because it's more realistic. Apparently when they were filming the rape scene a lot of the backstage cast was crying.

[Cathy McGee]

Pink Flamingos in an entirely different way than most of the movies mentioned are.

this.

haha everyone needs to see this movie. NOW!

[Euda]

Bambi was a messed up movie. Disney couldn't get away with that now. :mad:

[ComradeAsh]

I'm not sure about disturbing but...

[Von Bass]

Salo perhaps, if it's anything like the book at least. I'm watching it this week, having only seen various bits of it and read about it before hand.

[rec] scared me, but I wasn't truly disturbed by it.

[Euda]

Bringing Out The Dead seemed like a messed up movie.

[Candiru]

Anyone ever see Eastern Promises? Viggo Mortensen kills three dudes while naked in a sauna. Not to mention other epically unsettling stuff. Cronenberg is good for disturbing you.

[Illuvatar]

Silent Hill had some disturbing parts to it.

Haha, that was nowhere near as good as the original game, Homecoming comes out around..nowish too! can't wait to buy it.
However, that film was a dissapointment on so many levels.

[Paul Reveres Horse]

I thought the french film Irreversible was pretty bad, anyone seen it? Also Cannibal Holocaust once they started ripping live turtles apart and killing other animals, shit was fucked.

[Illuvatar]

Cannibal Holocaust is something everybody should watch for the gross/gore factor, but it doesn't look as realistic these days as it did back then.

[33% God]

Salo: 120 Days of Sodom.

Disturbing for most people,hilarious to me.

And i'm not even trying to say "hilarious" to sound like an e-badass. I actually did laugh at parts of this movie.

[Euda]

Spider is a pretty odd one too.

[Erorr]

Eraserhead , as far as wierdest/ what the...? award

[EssJay]

[rec] scared me, but I wasn't truly disturbed by it.

I watched that for the first time since I stopped smoking weed a couple months ago and I thought the movie was fucking terrible. It used just about every horror movie cliche in the fucking book, I don't even watch horror movies and I could see most of the shit coming. The acting wasn't very good, the lead female kinda reminded me of Dakota Fanning, almost constantly screaming and yelling.
The fat old lady zombie at the start was fucking hilarious and that part where they're heading up to the penthouse and the fire marshall guy helps them escape, then they turn the camera around and the guy is now a zombie and does this fucking hilarious look... man, it's fucking priceless.
The only part I thought had a good horror atmosphere was the part right at the end in the penthouse when the lights go out and it switches to night vision and the zombie chick with the hammer enters the room. Before that when they're looking at the articles on the wall and listening to a recording and the chick is yelling about some shit annoyed me, once that stopped it got good. Then went to the predictable ending where the reporter is pulled out from under the thing she's hiding under.
I will say that the make up and shit in the movie was good, the bite marks looked great. Otherwise I consider it another movie that is considered "new and different" for the sole reason that it's not in english. But yeah, I'd give the movie a 2 out of 10.

How is this disturbing? I watch this at least twice a week to aid my depression.

I would say Notes on a Scandal.

[Jai614]

Surveillance [2008], the main characters are fucked up (that's all I can say without giving the plot away)

I really wish they would have put the last chapter of the book into the movie. It definitely helped to bring some closure. If you havnt read the book yet, for the love of good please do.

Feed (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0445965/).
A serial killer feeds women to death, by feeding them other women.
(Thank you, Frank!)

Human Trafficking (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0461872/).
Pretty self-explanatory... This two-part series deals with trafficking and sex-slavery, including but not confined to that of children. No gory or graphic images actually, but it still manages to make you extremely uncomfortable: If you're against the death-penalty, I suggest you watch this movie and see how you feel afterwards.

[Von Bass]

[rec rant]

That's entirely fair enough man; I, for some reason, find Zombie related stuff scary as hell. I have a total irrational fear of zombies, but also find them grimly fascinating. The parts you mentioned in [rec], along with the parts some people find funny in 28 Days Later, I just shat bricks at :(

[jailbaitjenkum]

Another vote for Salo

Visitor Q: incest, titty milk, junkies, necrophilia - what isn't to love?

Gozu: another Takashi Miike flick. V. v. fucked up. Hilarious start.

[anastaciadarling]

another movie that is very disturbing is a movie called necromantic...
it is a horror film...but look it up

[mizled]

Ichi The Killer

[Mankonaut X]

Ichi wasn't really that disturbing though, it was actually kinda funny.
Seeing as about five Takashi Miike films have been mentioned, I say just check out his film history for more. You all HAVE to watch Fudoh: The New Generation.

[Village Idiot]

I've seen every single David Lynch, Takashi Miike and Alejandro Jodorowsky flick, as well as Salo, Zoo, Men Behind the Sun, Cannibal Holocaust, Man Bites Dog, August Underground, I Spit on your Grave, Tale of Two Sisters, Slaughtered Vomit Dolls and countless other shock cinema/snuff/various horror flicks and I can say that it should probably go to Irreversible. It wasn't that it was hard to watch, or that it really disturbed me (what does anymore. We are all so very jaded.) But it's realism really hit hard. I couldn't even figure out how I should feel about the 5-10 minute rape scene. Every single time I get to that part I am shocked at how erotic it was to me. And that's the true, raw disturbing part of any movie that has the courage to really dig into the filth- the audience wanting to watch it.

In the end, most of the films suck. I love Lynch and Jodorowsky, but Miike is a hack. He's up there with Eli Roth.

[Mankonaut X]

^I will spit on your grave, good sir *fury*.

cannibal holocaust was disturbing the first time i watched it, same with salo. i spit on your grave wasn't really disturbing, it's just some whack feminist revenge fantasy caught on camera. irreversible was pretty full on i agree. i remember hellraiser 2 (extended version) being very whacked out and disturbing when i first saw it, especially when the junky gets skinned alive. such a weird movie, it was like watching a really bizarre nightmare. hellraiser one was also quite disturbing

a big thumbs up for being a lynch/jodorowsky fan, i don't think i could name my favourite lynch film, if i had to choose it'd probably be lost highway. my favourite jodorowsky is el topo without a doubt, i fucking love that movie

[Village Idiot]

Ah splendid! Have you heard their collaboration with the movie King Shot along with Manson?

As for Lynch films, my favorite will always be Blue Velvet, and I'm a Holy Mountain guy myself. But very cool, its rare I ever run into anyone that mentions those two names in a single sentence.

[Curb Stomp]

First time I saw it I was like 12 and was fuck scared out of my face. But I loved it.

The Devils Rejects is more fucked up though because it's more realistic. Apparently when they were filming the rape scene a lot of the backstage cast was crying.

I was pretty young the first time i saw it as well. It was one of those movies where i had to ask myself, "WTF did i just witness?"

Devils Rejects had less of the "cliche American slasher film" feel to it. I think that's what made it more realistic.

And it wouldn't surprise me if the cast was crying. That scene owns.

[Rocko]

Men Behind the Sun had some screwed up stuff, I had forgotten about that. It particularly caught me off guard when the dude walked up to the severely frostbitten person and out of nowhere tore the fucking skin off her arms.

[Caramello Koala]

wait... David Lynch and Alejandro Jodorowsky are making a film together?? :eek:

That news actually got me really excited! Blue velvet is a classic, I think I might have to re watch twin-peaks and holy mountain in the next couple of days. Every Jodorowsky fan I've met (which is not many) preferred holy mountain over el topo, it was a fantastic movie but el topo had a much stronger effect on me.

[Hyper-dimension]

That's easy, it's gotta be FUNNY GAMES.

Torturing a family for ones own amusement FTW...

Isn't this a German flick from seven or eight years ago? If it is, I'm pretty sure I've seen it, and loved it.

http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0892411/ Lynch is producing.

It's sort of hard for me to pick between Holy Mountain and El Topo, honestly. After watching El Topo, I was immediately drawn to westerns. I feel in love with Santa Sangre as well, but then again that was the first film by Alejandro that I saw.

[CaptainCrunch]

I have stepped back in time into TOTSe ....lol ok me saying this again

Taxi Driver a tale of depressing insanity

[VagineMachine]

August Underground pwns beyond all belief for most disturbing movie.

I have only been able to watch about 15 minutes of it, but my friends who have survived (about 4 of them i thinks.) , said it was the most intense, horrible movie ever.

[Mike Hancho]

Well, I would have to say the Guinea Pig series from Japan takes the title of most disturbing film/series of films. Check out the IMDB's and decide for yourself.

1. Devils Experiment: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0161634/

2. Flower of Flesh and Blood: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0161635/

3. He Never Dies: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0161636/

4. Mermaid in a Manhole: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0161638/

theres alot more :P

Although not as disturbing, Funny Games was a movie I actually like that could make this list.

[Mr.Happy]

I vote for Irreversible. There's just something about it. The 'end' (it's told backwards, and it actually works really well in the format) is so poignant and affecting given what's come before. Real fucked-up film. Difficult viewing.

I've only seen Devil's Experiment out of the Guinea Pig series. Difficult watching at times, but there's nothing in there that's any worse than stuff on liveleak or TheYNC or sites like that. Gore and violence isn't particularly shocking to me any more; in my eyes, for something to be disturbing, there has to be emotional content.

[Mike Hancho]

Thats what was interesting about Funny Games, theres not really any gore and little violence on screen but the movie keeps you uncomfortable throughout.

[Mr.Happy]

^ I'll look it up, the IMDb looked interesting. I presume you're talking about the original and not the remake. Cheers.

[Mike Hancho]

Either, I actually enjoyed the remake alot as well, and it might be a bit easier to find. Also it's in English.

Salo: 120 Days of Sodom.

Disturbing for most people,hilarious to me.

And i'm not even trying to say "hilarious" to sound like an e-badass. I actually did laugh at parts of this movie.

I downloaded Salo because a lot of folks told me how crazy it was...If anything I was disturbed by all of the homosexuality in it, that I was totally unprepared for. :thumbsdown:

[J.P.W]

Itchi the killer was pretty fucked up.

[Archetype]

Eraserhead. :)

You bastard I forgot all about that! :mad: :(
I need to find an alcoholic drink, greater than 70% volume, right now. :(

[arleybob]

Definitely Eraserhead, Happiness, and Irreversible.

Also, Un Chien Andalou is very strange. A movie made by Salvador Dali (remember the melting clocks?) and Luis Bunuel that was inspired by dreams they each had. Pretty shocking for 1929, seeing as it shows scenes such as a woman's eye being sliced open with a straight razor. The film jumps from "3 AM this morning" to "8 years later" to "16 years ago" and etc... What's more disturbing is the aftermath of the movie. The two lead actors killed themselves afterwards. One overdosed on pills, the other set herself on fire in a public market.

idk, i just find that shit interesting.
