[Movie] Most disturbing movie

I don't have an affinity for horror/being disturbed by visual media, but I guess Last House on the Left was pretty "bad" as far as the material went.

The story of Night of the Hunter was also conceptually disturbing.

Audrey Hepburn's Wait Until Dark is another. Even if the film was only mildly entertaining, there's always that one scene... you know which one I'm talking about.

Isn't that the movie with the robbers trying to rob a blind lady? If so, that dude could fucking FLY.

I am a dolphin, do you want me on your body?

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

I was speaking idiomatically.

I personally thought this movie sucked the big one. It's hard to sit through only because it's so fucking BORING. Sure, there's plenty of gore or whatnot, but it's ridiculous and over-the-top. It's too old to be taken seriously.

I'll just say that I've never felt as uncomfortable watching a film as when I watched Eraserhead.

It's a great movie however, I really recommend it.

Yes. This film is very disturbing. It's very uncomfortable to sit through.

I've actually seen 'I Spit on your Grave' and that movie is one of the least disturbing movies ever. That movie is boring from the get go and remains that way until the end when the woman exacts her revenge. Even then, the movie goes from attempting to be disturbing to shit-brained slasher movie. Even 'Last House on the Left' was more disturbing (same premise) and that was released commercially.

Mostly in the fact that in most (ie: all) slashers, you don't give two shits about the characters, but in Wolf Creek these kids are in genuine peril and don't deserve the horrors that await them. The killer is probably one of the most brutal guys in recent cinema, too.

I disagree with this as well. I thought this movie was extremely cliched and predictable. The only thing unique aspect of this film was the fact that it was set in Austrailia.

What kind of toxic man-thing is happening now?

The most disturbing movie I saw was Aurore l'enfant martyre

It's the story of a young girl who got abused to death by her stepmother, often helped by her own father.

the most disturbing fact about this movie is that this really happened, and it's the only movie that made me feel dizzy to the point I felt like puking.

FELIPE NO

Ouch. Fucking A.

I read the IMDB plot summary and that shit is brutal. The nurse kills the Mother, the nurse then marries the Father, and in-turn kills the daughter.

Does any justice come to this witch woman? I wouldn't imagine so, otherwise it wouldn't be a very disturbing movie, I would think.

What, you don't want my bikini-clad body?

Actually, she had a death sentence but she was pregnent so at the end she only had a life sentence. she got out of jail a few years later.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

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.

There's nowhere I can't reach.

I went on a Jodorowsky craze a few years back. Not sure on what I feel about his movies, they're interesting at least. The one I remember the most is El Topo and one that I forgot the name (takes place around a circus). Both good, but nothing I would want to watch over and over again.

I might be interested in the box though, sounds nice.

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

I'm not really a fan of disturbing movies, but one of the most disturbing movies I have seen was a Japanese movie called "Battle Royale." It is about a class of first year high school students who are kidnapped to this deserted isle and ordered to kill each other in 3 days time. The winner will be set free. It is not very gory or bloody, but some of these students are best friends, b/f, g/f and they have to kill each other. They used real high school students and the acting is awesome. You really feel for these characters! It stars the Japanese girl from Kill Bill, who plays Go-Go.

I highly recommend this film. It is disturbing.

Haha yeah, that fucking bitch. I opened a bottle of champagne when she got killed.

In Battle Royale or in Kill Bill? LOL

August Underground and the sequel if you want to call it that.

You will cry.

FELIPE NO

The most mentally disturbing movie I've seen was The Machinist. There's something about the slow decline into insanity that's . . . depressing.

Cannibal Holocaust is a "disturbing" movie with a fun little background (banned in over 50 countries, director got heavily fined and was questioned for murder after the release of the film).

What, you don't want my bikini-clad body?

13 Tzameti...It's the most instense thriller I have ever seen. It's a French film about crime and a sick game that resembles the russian roulette. It has a great dark feel to it with crazy suspense.

.

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?

I'd also say Saw (I,II,III) but I did not watch em

May isn't disturbing: it's fucking hilarious. Creepy, a little, but still fucking hilarious.

I'd like to second the ending of Audition and that rape scene in Irreversible. I mean, I knew what I was getting in to when I went to go see it, but still. Jesus Christ.


And now I wanna see "Threads." Oh and Alphabet is brilliant. Batshit insane, yeah. Terrifying? No.

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 am a dolphin, do you want me on your body?

I'll go with Sympathy for Lady Vengeance. There are several shocking scenes but there is one particular scence where:

Spoiler:

A woman shows a film to some parents whose kids where kidnap by some psycho. In the scene is shown how the man kills a child. It's not totally seen, but the impression is sooooo awful that made me close my eyes for a second. It's kinda Psycho's shower scene, where it is not shown any stab to the woman, but it's so well filmed that you can't stand it

I was speaking idiomatically.

I've always found Videodrone to be quite disturbing. Not gory or anything like that, just the whole premise of the movie got to me, what with how television and media control us and becomes part of our flesh..very cool visuals for an older movie.

Ones I'd like to second are Audition, Ichi The Killer, and Irreversable.

Most amazing jew boots

I was gonna come in here and say OMG CHUCKY or something but then I see some of the shit you guys are talking about and I realize just how naive and child like I am to this stuff. I couldnt even keep reading the full thread after reading about women cutting off their nipples with a boxcutter. WHAT THE FUCK?

Anyway, along th elines of the demented, I once saw this bizarre Japanese movie where a man finds a mermaid in the sewers but shes dying or whatever or ends up rotting away. Bizarre.

FELIPE NO

While it's hardly the most disturbing movie ever (or even mentioned in this thread), I still have a great difficulty watching the "eye cut" scene in Un Chien Andalou.

What, you don't want my bikini-clad body?

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.

Along the same lines as The Machinist (which I loved) is Requiem For a Dream. This film wasn't full of gross-out gore, or anything of that nature, but when it ended that feeling of absolute... dread stayed with me for a couple days. Really, a brilliantly directed film, but not one I'm eager to see again.

There's nowhere I can't reach.

Yeah, Requiem for a Dream was pretty disturbing all-around.

It's just the mood and the bullshit that these people put themselves through.

It turns your stomach upside down from the very beginning when Jared Leto is demanding his Mother's TV. From there on, you know the movie is going to be an intense fuck-ride.
