[Movie] Most disturbing movie

One of the only films that I've ever really found difficult to watch is Kubrick's Paths of Glory. It's a film about World War I. It's not graphic at all – I think in Canada it even has a G rating. I don't want to give anything away, as it's a terribly powerful piece, but suffice it to say it presents some horrible truths.

Besides that, there was a Canadian independent film called Cube made in the 90's. I haven't seen it for a few years (I think I was 10 the first time I saw it), but I decidedly remember a sense of dread for a couple of days afterwards. The sequels were shitty.

How ya doing, buddy?

All these people mentioning THREADS prompted me to give it a download. I can see why it came up so often.

There's nowhere I can't reach.

This thread being around is rather serendipitous given the information I just heard. On May 1, 2007, Anchor Bay will be releasing a box set of the films of Alejandro Jodorowsky, including El Topo, Fando y Lis, Holy Mountain and Cravate. The films have been remastered, and the new prints are supposedly very fresh and crisp, with excellent color. There have been several theater screenings in major US cities, and the reviews have been excellent.

Jodorowsky, once quoted as saying, "I ask of cinema what most North Americans ask of psychedelic drugs," is fucking LORD GOD KING over disturbing films. Most of his movies have been out of print since their release dates because of issues with the distributor (some asshole named Allen Klein hated the films). Nonetheless, the pictures became somewhat of midnight classics and bootlegs were circulated, all rather low quality. It took over 30 years for these films to get the recognition they deserve.

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

.

Even it if doesn't have the gore of films like Cannibal Holocaust, it more than makes up for it in macabre shocks.

I just saw this last week, and it really isn't disturbing at all. Shocking on occasion, yes, but it's pretty obviously a dark comedy. I don't think comedies can really be disturbing by nature.

How ya doing, buddy?

Demonoid has a well seeded torrent of Threads, which is where I got it.

I agree with you about the Alphabet. I didn't bring it up earlier because LeHah tends to cream his pants and yell about how I don't understand psychology whenever I disagree with him over a Lynch film.

I was speaking idiomatically.

I just saw an oh-so-very-fucked-up film called Man Behind The Sun about Japanese war atrocities. There's one scene in particular involving a pressure chamber that made me look away. Just... fucked up.

What kind of toxic man-thing is happening now?
