[Movie] Most disturbing movie

Lynch's Alphabet is not that terrifying. You think Oingo Boingo's music video thing is frightening LeHah.

Although I admit that Eraserhead is pretty fucked. I really liked it, though. Lynch, for me, is a big hit-or-miss. I'm tempted to say that Eraserhead is one of his most disturbingly bizarre films ever.

Incidentally, I have heard nothing but horrific rage over Salo. I've yet to see it, and I am not sure if I could sit through it all, but I want to see it just based on what I've heard.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

Why is blue, LeHah?

It's a matter of taste. I think you are just triggered by these confused and eerie scenes.

You like Lynch overall. I like some of his stuff. There's no arguing taste.

And on another note, since Jouhou brought it up, I find the more realistic and plausible horrors more than I do the fictions. Artistic takes on the world regarding perception is one thing, but when you see something that happened - something one human does to another - it's infinitely more disturbing, if only because it has or could happen.

Meanwhile, Alphabet is just Lynch being Lynch.

How ya doing, buddy?

I wouldn't say Deliverance is disturbing, really. It's an AWESOME movie, and yea, to think that a river boating trip would go that wry is kind of scary? But I don't find it disturbing.

Maybe it's because I've seen so many of those damned white water and river boat trips. (White Water Summer, The River Wild, crap like that)

Spoiler:

It would have been more disturbing if the rednecks had been successful at raping everyone in the group, though!

Did you find it disturbing, Devo??

Thinking of other disturbing movies, I found T.H.R.E.A.D.S. to be insanely disturbing. Based on an actual estimation of the decimation of the British population after a nuclear attack, it shows all the horrific details of what would happen to a society if there ever were such an event.

Again - frightening to me if only because it's so close to being real. Taken from IMDB.com:

Quote:

Since it does play like a documentary, it feels no need to either overplay events or sugarcoat things for our sensibilities. There's no speeches or heroic actions, everything occurs as it happens, no matter how horrifying.

The gore is moderate (it was a TV movie after all) but is unsettling because it's taken to be real. Throughout you look for some hopeful thought to intrude, even comic relief, but "Threads" stares you down, making you watch the horror and woe to the bitter end. There is no hope or salvation, only despair.

That's the scary part, I guess.

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.
