The Most Screwed-Up Movie You've Seen Is...

[Omega Wizard]

Irreversible
and Curb Stomp in AHX

 

[Kakihara]

I saw what was easily one of the most horrifying scenes in any movie recently for me personally: Steve Zahn getting beheaded in Rescue Dawn randomly by a villager with a machete-and it was really how his character died a few days after their escape from the pow camp. Real life always takes the cake for true horror and cruelty.

Sleepaway Camp: The whole movie is disturbing, but the ending really makes your skin crawl.

 

[Space Moose]

The movie 'Freaks' from the 30's is pretty disturbing because they used real freaks. This isn't Hollywod make-up or effects, the f'd up looking people are really deformed.


On a lighter note, 'The Phantom Menace' was pretty disturbing. How a man who wrote 'American Graffiti' and 'Star Wars' (1978) could write and direct that train wreck keeps me awake at night sometimes.

"One of us! One of us! One of us!"

 

[Lex Luthor]

It's gotta be either Eraserhead, or Audition.

 

[PLAS]

Requiem For a Dream
Jacob's Ladder
Irreversible
Subconscious Cruelty (90's Canadian surrealistic mash up of ****ed up stuff)

 

[Danalys]

The Entity http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0082334/... i saw it when i was younger and no other movie has freaked me out more (and not in a good way )

A lot of good responses here. I'd definitely agree with "Requiem for a Dream" and David Lynch always applies in categories like these...

But my response refers to a scene and not really a whole film. I rarely cringe or am disturbed during movies, but that early scene in "Pan's Labyrinth"

Spoiler

where the farmer's son gets his faced crushed in with a wine bottle.

Well, that was probably one of the most brutal things I've ever seen in a film.

And even though it was only a short film, I'd also have to say "The Lottery." I think I was in forth grade when I first saw that, and it really bothered me. That whole concept still really freaks me out.

What is the concept of 'The Lottery'?

What is the concept of 'The Lottery'?

If it's refering to the short story I believe it is...

Spoiler

a town holds a lottery every year to determine which adult they will kill. The short story is very creepy. No reason is given for why the lottery takes place, and you don't understand what the lottery is till the very end

Just finished watching now. Man, that old was funny.

Yeah that's the one.

Death by stoning. Not cool.

That would suck beyond all measure.

I haven't seen it in years so I'm watching it again for the hell of it...and it's freaking me out. It's just eerie.

Hostal... i mean wtf..

I actually thought Freaks was fascinating. It challenges a lot of people's misconceptions, but I thought just watching them do their daily routine was incredible. I mean, my props to that guy with no limbs who lit a cigarette using only his lips.

 

[Obi-Ron]

"Parents" was pretty creepy. Elijah Wood played a kid who suspected his parents of being cannibals. Not gory, but damn did it make me squirm.

 

[TheSaintofKillers]

i hear salo is one of the sickest films ever made. http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0073650/

It is. Aside from maybe Irreversible, nothing listed here is even close to Salo. But Im not surprised people from here havent seen it, though.

Great movie btw, but theres a reason the director got killed for having made that movie. We are not talking light heart movies like Hellraiser here.

Then theres the baby of Macon, from Greenaway, which is pretty much just as sicked.

And finally theres porno holocaust. But I dont think I need to explain that one, heh.

Here's a question, could Freaks be remade today with real "freaks" like the original without using make-up effects?

Only if they did it as a period piece. "Freak" shows have gone out of favor as degrading and dehumanizing.
