The most disturbing movie I have ever seen is one that Sass mentioned. 'Threads' was apparently 'the movie that shocked a generation' (well that's what it says on the DVD cover), and to be honest, that description isn't far wrong.
It's based on the build-up, initial attack and aftermath of a nuclear attack on Sheffield, a large industrial town that's about 2 or 3 miles away from where I live. It was a BBC production, so the effects are pretty cheesy by today's standards, but it wasn't trying to be a Hollywood blockbuster, so it didn't really matter. I watched it for the first time about a month ago. I've never been so scared after watching a movie, it was that disturbing. I think that the scariest part of the movie, is that you know that after the bomb drops, society is pretty much helpless. Dead, gone. That is the most depressing thought. I can't imagine how people felt when watching this film when it was first released in 1984, when apparently most people didn't think that the bomb being dropped was a possibility, they thought it was a CERTAINTY. If you are squeamish, then it'll give you nightmares for a while, but even if you aren't, it'll at least get you thinking. Jam it back in, in the dark.
