The most DISTURBING movie/s you've ever seen THREAD.

[Secret Fawful]

Graves of the Fireflies

I almost listed this but...it didn't really disturb me. It just made me really sad.

 

[craigdbfan]

Its disturbing in the sense on how sad/depressing it is.

Everyone watch out! We have a badass on these boards! Thank-you for taking time out of your "badass" life to come to a superhero message board to enlightnen some of us uneventful lames. One day I can only dream to be the badass you are.

Anyways:
Silence of the Lambs - The scene where Buffalo bill is dancing. yuck
Seven - Description of the lust death had me squirming for weeks and I dont even have a vajayjay
Last King of Scotland - The image of Kay Amin's body stayed with me for days.

Silence of the Lambs and Seven were the first two to come to my mind. The scene from Silence that I found the creepiest was [blackout]when the girl tries to climb out of the hole and freaks out when she sees a broken, rotting fingernail from a past victim.[/blackout] With Seven, I'd agree that the lust victim scene was the most disturbing. And both movies have really bleak endings.

Let's get back on topic, everyone...

Another disturbing movie: The Road (although the book was worse)

From the creepy/disturbing TV movie category: The Day After

The Road book is probably the most shocking novel I've ever read. The movie was pretty disturbing too, but I knew what I was getting into.

 

[Clu]

A Serbian Film is probably the first movie that came to mind.

 

[moviedoors]

The first film isn't all that disturbing, what you see on screen is covered up by bandages. Most people say it's disturbing because it's all in your head.

That was the stroke of genius in the first film. It planted all these horrible ideas in your head and then it played it fairly clinically. It was also way funnier than I would've guessed.

It doesn't make my disturbing list, but the ending did give me a shiver. That was super nihilistic.

Part 2 got a much more visceral reaction out of me, but that was almost purely revulsion. I think think the first film actually unnerved me more. It gave me chills and a sense of dread. The second just made me go "ew."

 

[DyeLorean]

I can't think of any recent ones, to be honest. I do remember, however, when Blair With Project came out, I was 13. I saw that movie alone, at night. It really scared the **** out of me. That's why I think the found footage genre that they started was succesful just because they didn't really show something, it was all in your head, you put your own fears in what was happening.

And I was young too, I was easily disturbed.

 

[Holiday]

Korean film The Chaser comes to mind. Felt really disgusted and sad after walking away from that one.

 

[Wolfwood]

Two documentaries that really bothered and disturbed me while I was watching them:

The Cove and Dear Zachary: A Letter To A Son About His Father.

 

[Thebumwhowalks]

As for the other posters...if they say there are works of fiction that haunt or disturb or disgust them...I say good. I feel it is better to be able to show empathy for the situations of others than to be numb and uncaring.

Actually, I was thinking about it last night, of course there are things in movies that disturb me, it's mainly when I see helpless people getting attacked in viscous ways.
When I'm watching the actual movie, sure, but they don't 'haunt me', although one did, but it was when i was a little kid that it did. 'Death Wish'
Because my mum used to kick up a big drama a couple nights a week, like clockwork, whenever my sister went out at night, if she wasn't home early-ish, so she would get wound up and i'd think of that movie and imagine her getting raped and murdered, it used to do my head in. Combination of me being too young to see that movie, and my mum being a bit of an overdramatic pain in the arse about my sister going out.

It's not about that, it's about pointing out that maybe a bunch of pampered folk who have had it easy shouldn't be so quick to jump in and judge and vilify someone whose life has been/is incredibly difficult, in ways they can't possibly imagine.
Esp being viscous to start up something like a call to arms to gang up on the person when they know damn well that person was on the verge of a breakdown at that moment in time.
It just backs up what i was thinking about the majority of people.

 

[Kurosawa]

Most people name Cannibal Holocaust but I refuse to watch it. I'm just not going to watch animals being killed, that is wayyy too much for me to tolerate.

Of what I have seen, Antichrist is pretty hard to watch. As is Audition. And I have a hard time getting through the Guinea Pig movies, although I have seen parts of them and could get through them. Blood and gore don't really bother me as long as I know it's fake. But anything that is real, that bothers me. Ripper crime scene photos, the Black Dahlia murder photos, Helter Skelter, etc....that crap keeps me up at night.

There is a scene in one of the Saw movies...Saw III, I believe, that involved rotted pig guts and even though I knew it was just effects work, it almost made me sick.

 

[PyroChamber]

Kids

I've never had a movie disturb me, but after watching this movie once I never watched again; and what's even more crazy is that I actually own the movie.

 

[bullets]

I have the Human Centipede but haven't watched it yet. I Spit of Your Grave remake was the most disturbing flick i'd seen until i saw Martyrs. Disturbing as in, keeps you thinking about it days after you've watched it. The movie Inside is another one. The Europeans have pretty much got the market covered when it comes to the twist human psyche.

I love that Matyrs has inspired this thread. I saw that not too long ago and thought it was weird. I still haven't seen Cannibal Holocaust or The Human Centipede . I refuse to watch HC , I can sit through people getting eaten but not ... well , you know .

Some other films I found disturbing are Chinatown (the ending) , The Shining , Eden Lake , The Lovely Bones and the Suicide Club. There's a korean horror film about a virus outbreak and the host is a serial killer who tries to spread it by puking and bleeding on people , can't remember the name of it.

 

[Jake Cassidy]

However, I haven't even seen somebody flayed alive in real life, and i've never watched a young boy have a tyre placed around his neck, petrol poured on and then his head set on fire in real life either.

I watched those things unfold before me on a screen, and due to my level of empathy and imagination (of which you apparently have none, as you don't in any way emotionally connect to a horror film), I am disturbed.

There is absolutely NOTHING weak about that, and absolutely nothing STRONG about having no reaction to it.

You don't flinch during a film when a little boys head is set on fire?

Well done

Personally i'd be worried if that DIDN'T bother me.

What movie is this in?

It probably wouldn't bother me much. I hate kids. t:

 

[the_ultimate_evil]

The first film isn't all that disturbing, what you see on screen is covered up by bandages. Most people say it's disturbing because it's all in your head.

see i could argue that all reviews and word of mouth i seen and heard billed it as the most disgusting film ever and what they show is vile and puke worthy

hell it was gonna be banned in the uk, it was just meh. seemed much like hostel a stupid idea that caters to idiots with no idea of story or reason

 

[Holiday]

Kids

I've never had a movie disturb me, but after watching this movie once I never watched again; and what's even more crazy is that I actually own the movie.

There was a large group of teenagers in my town, about 4-5 years older than me, who completely missed the point and were inspired by this movie, thinking how the characters in this movie behaved was some way to live.

 

[Doctor Jones]

The last 20 minutes of the original Texas Chainsaw Massacre. If that's not real terror I don't know what is. I almost had to shut it off.

 

[Golgo-13]

I haven't seen it in a while but Lord of the Flies is pretty disturbing, as is Love Object. The ending to that is pretty...cool.

 

[Thebumwhowalks]

edit: eh forget it.

 

[OsGom]

It's not about that, it's about pointing out that maybe a bunch of pampered folk who have had it easy shouldn't be so quick to jump in and judge and vilify someone whose life has been/is incredibly difficult, in ways they can't possibly imagine.

Maybe people who on the verge of a breakdown should refrain from posting comments challenging the lives of people of whom they know nothing about.
I mean really you post comments calling people pampered and their lives uneventful and expect no one to react? Then brag that nothing that happens in your own tempestuous life phases you but whine when someone calls you out.
If nothing disturbs or phases you because you are so strong... why react at all or post in the first place.
Get some help and don't drag your personal life out into the light if you don't want people to stomp on it.

Okay regarding this thread:

I'm not religeous but the scourging scene in Passion of the Christ had me squirming in my seat. I just about passed out.

Saw 1 when Amanda was fishing through that guys entrails for a key while he was still alive. Saw II when Amanda was thrown into the pit filled with used hypodermic needles.

 

[Thebumwhowalks]

don't drag your personal life out into the light if you don't want people to stomp on it.

edit: I'm afraid my fame is not exactly of my own doing, but I do try not to get too personal with other people when battling it out, although it is tempting sometimes given the amount of personal sh** i take on a 24/7 365 days a year for the last three and a half years basis.
Imagine that matey boy, every time you pee there is a wee gnome swimming in the toilet taking photographs, and you can't even pee on his head.

Hang on a second...

You accuse everyone who has ever been haunted by a movie of:

1. Leading 'pretty uneventful lives'
And 2. Living life vicariously 'for the most part'.

You then tell us that you have lived through tonnes of real life trauma, but not even that haunts you cause 'your strong like that', insinuating that a) people who are haunted are not strong, and b) you are not bothered by any of this crazy stuff your talking about.

And your now going to act like the victim because some people didn't take kindly to that?

Esp being viscous to start up something like a call to arms to gang up on the person when they know damn well that person was on the verge of a breakdown at that moment in time.

I didn't see any call to arms. And unless there has been a discussion somewhere else between you and this poster about your verge or breakdown status, I don't see how anyone could have gleamed that from what you wrote.

 

[hopefuldreamer]

What movie is this in?

It probably wouldn't bother me much. I hate kids. t:

It's Eden Lake.

In fairness, you don't actually see anything gory. You see him pour the petrol on while the woman he's chasing is hiding, and then we stay with her and you just hear it.

You hear the flames go up, and this boys blood curdling scream - one of the best movie screams I've ever heard. Your imagination does the rest.

The ending is pretty disturbing too, in that there is absolutely no happy ending at all. Which was hard for me because I was really rooting for the woman... I mean anyone would be. She's not a damsel in distress type, she gets badass.

 

[Motown Marvel]

Most people name Cannibal Holocaust but I refuse to watch it. I'm just not going to watch animals being killed, that is wayyy too much for me to tolerate.

the cannibal holocaust DVD has an option where you can watch the film and it will automatically skip the 2 scenes consisting of animal cruelty.

as notorious cannibal holocaust is for its shock and gore, theres actually a genuine story with legit themes at the base of it.

 

[Donnie Darko]

The ending of The Mist has stayed with me ever since I saw it. Damn, Tom Jane. Damn.
