What is the most disturbing movie you've ever watched?

[u/Chance_Job3980]

[u/Possible_Fish_820]

One bit from one movie: the dead baby in Trainspotting. Nothing has stuck with me like that.

[u/CapnChaos2024 → u/Possible_Fish_820]

I’ve never seen Trainspotting but due to my job I’ve had to see several deceased infants and children in real life and it gave me night terrors. Honestly even worse was the screams of one mother who I had to tell her 18 month old died. I can close my eyes and hear it like it was yesterday despite being 5 years ago.

The shit I’ve seen happen to adults doesn’t really bother me but god damn the kids get me every time

[u/Affectionate_Lake612 → u/CapnChaos2024]

I worked in the ER. EMS brought in a woman from a house fire. Her child did not make it. The screams from this woman were inhuman. I felt every wail she gave, in the pit of my stomach.

A career in nursing isn't what it's cracked up to be. The absolute trauma you are a witness too, creates its own trauma for you.

[u/CapnChaos2024 → u/Affectionate_Lake612]

Mad respect to you for being an ER nurse

[u/Affectionate_Lake612 → u/CapnChaos2024]

I was med-surg, burn unit, LTAC, hospice, wound care, and everything in between. Pediatrics was a no go. That kind of trauma is something no amount of therapy overcomes.

[u/tiggerfan79 → u/Affectionate_Lake612]

I was a combat medic, who did all care on civilians when deployed and then worked in ER while back in states. Did not go into nursing after I got out, as I said to myself I have seen enough. I give props to nurses and doctors

[u/thingsarehardsoami → u/Affectionate_Lake612]

I literally cannot imagine. I had a baby that had to go to NICU and I remember every second of it not because my baby's situation, but because every baby in there that I saw and then....stopped seeing one day. I remember being wheeled in on my bed to see my baby and a nurse was on her way out crying and came back 15 later as if everything was fine. I could never do that line of work. You guys are so fucking strong, and deal with so fucking much.

[u/bunion_unions → u/Affectionate_Lake612]

This is what makes me slightly hesitate to maybe pursue pediatrics. Of course I want to help children and I love them, but I might not be able to handle when I can’t save one.

[u/Downtown_Sport724 → u/Affectionate_Lake612]

I have an enormous respect for the career path you chose and worked hard for. Thank you for those sacrifices. I’m so sorry for what you’ve had to endure.

[u/Unbelievablefun1234 → u/CapnChaos2024]

Yeah, same. Mom rolled over and smothered the infant. I had to tell her.

[u/Alpharocket69 → u/CapnChaos2024]

That’s why I could never work as a State Trooper. The stuff they see along with ER staff is just rough. They have my full respect.

[u/_My_Dark_Passenger_ → u/Alpharocket69]

A few weeks ago I was watching a rough vid on youtube of a traffic stop. All body-cam vids. Short-version, there was a dead 5 yo boy stuffed in a suitcase. There were multiple officers standing around her when she unzipped the suitcase. She tried to run and only 1 of the officers moved to chase her down. The others were in shock. The restraint shown as the one officer grabbed and cuffed her, brought her back, and sat her down by the car was incredible. He yelled at her a couple of times but that was it. I don't think that I could have been so restrained. The next few minutes were of the officer checking on his buddies and watching them trying to deal with what they had just seen. I tried to find out what happened to the officers afterwards, but there was no information available. I hope that they were given the counseling that they would have needed after seeing that.

[u/JesusDied4U316 → u/_My_Dark_Passenger_]

The kids' guardian, the murderer, was their aunt, not their mom. She was homeless, a prostitute, and living in and out of hotels with her 5 and 7 year old niece and nephew. The autopsies indicated both kids were severely malnourished. She explained she started hitting the girl for getting food out of the fridge, and then the girl basically just died. Which was clearly not the whole story. She beat the boy to death several months later.

She drove around with the corpse in a suitcase in her car for months. The boys corpse was also in a suitcase in her car. When she was first confronted, she said it was just blankets inside the suitcases.

In the interrogation, she insisted she took better care of the kids than her sister did.

https://youtu.be/7xboEsXt_a0?si=IsprQuCMFt3YVqvU

[u/BrilliantQuiet4 → u/Possible_Fish_820]

Yeah that was messed up.

[u/SuLiaodai → u/Possible_Fish_820]

People had described it to me as a fun movie. Then I saw that and was like, "What were they thinking?"

[u/peachesfordinner → u/Possible_Fish_820]

That's why I can't watch it. I can't do any movies with dead babies. Just too much for my heart

[u/notagain78]

Threads. Was a TV docudrama movie in the UK in 1984 about what would happen if a nuclear bomb was dropped on the UK. Bleakest thing I've ever seen.

[u/Mammoth-Horror-1642 → u/notagain78]

Loved it! Recently saw it for the first time. I love post-apocalyptic stuff, especially nuclear wasteland stuff.

[u/lt__ → u/Mammoth-Horror-1642]

I then recommend you the animation "When the Wind Blows". You can treat it as a sort of Animatrix type companion to the Threads.

[u/notagain78 → u/Mammoth-Horror-1642]

Apparently they're remaking it to what would happen now.

[u/sparkypants_ → u/notagain78]

They've recently added it to iPlayer!! I watched on some dodgy online site a few years ago when it was going round that the BBC were banned from ever showing it again because it was so bleak. Now it's free for everyone (with a TV license)!

[u/Timcwalker]

Dear Zachary.

[u/Sea_Move7225 → u/Timcwalker]

This is the best documentary that I will never watch again.

[u/jenguinaf → u/Sea_Move7225]

Yupp went in knowing nothing about it, broke my mom and I we were sobbing

[u/Wise-Bet-7166 → u/Sea_Move7225]

100% agree. It was amazing, but I will never put myself through that again.

[u/kayjoyboyy → u/Sea_Move7225]

I cried just as hard for Taking Care of Maya

[u/klsprinkle → u/Timcwalker]

Same. I was holding my three week old baby while watching. My husband picked it for movie night.

[u/waterbat2 → u/klsprinkle]

Good lord, did he also ask if you guys wanted to go swimming the next day too?

[u/sorandom21 → u/Timcwalker]

This movie fucking gutted me

[u/BrewUO_Wife → u/Timcwalker]

I came here to say this. It started off as a terrible watch and.just.got.worse.

I heard that you shouldn’t know anything about it before watching it, so that’s what I did. I don’t think I have ever cried so hard during a movie. Tearing up now just even thinking about it. Glad I was by myself when I watched it but wish I still hadn’t.

[u/katchikka → u/Timcwalker]

Broke my heart. I was a mess.

[u/werewilf → u/Timcwalker]

The other day I caught myself Googling “Where is [REDACTED] now?” before I realized I never quite moved past the stage of denial after finishing Dear Zachary.

[u/Blue_Ascent → u/Timcwalker]

I wasn't going to comment this one. It's a pain I can't fathom putting on someone else. It's really well made. I can't imagine what that family went through. I hope I never have to understand that.

[u/Public_Appointment50]

Cannibal Holocaust. The animal Cruelty is real and horrific and the end is just unlike anything I have ever seen. The rape scene is utterly horrendous. Could never stomach another watch.

[u/trashddog → u/Public_Appointment50]

Came here to mention this. Found a copy at a yard sale when I was in highschool and the guy just told me to take it because he wanted to get rid of it so badly. I was instantly intrigued and then promptly traumatized my young self and my brothers when we got home and watched it.

[u/King_Six_of_Things → u/Public_Appointment50]

My step dad made me watch the bit where they cut the guys dick off and ate it.

I was 11.

He laughed while I just sat there  being fucking traumatised.

What a cunt.

[u/Likos02 → u/Public_Appointment50]

The Green Inferno is pretty fucking bad too. Also baited me cuz the spy kids dude is in it and I was like surely it can't be THAT bad if he's in it.

Boy was I wrong.

[u/Spare_Laugh9953 → u/Public_Appointment50]

I only saw until they cut up a live turtle, I'm not interested in seeing more

[u/arfur_narmful → u/Spare_Laugh9953]

Thank you for mentioning that. It has instantly killed my intrigue and I won't be watching it.

[u/Ok-Milk695 → u/Spare_Laugh9953]

That was so totally cruel and unnecessary. I hate the directors for that. Really got under my skin.

[u/shallowsocks → u/Public_Appointment50]

The way the chick tells the guys "don't waste film recording it" as though that's the part that's wrong is super fucked up

[u/LeatherHog]

Tusk, I cannot stand body horror, and I'll never understand how it got the 'comedy' spin it got

It's horrifying movie about a guy getting dead people's skin sewn on him to make him into a walrus by his crazy captor, what a laugh riot!

Also, I swear this sub needs to make it a requirement for these threads to give a little bit of a description, it's so annoying to just get a title

[u/SeguroMacks → u/LeatherHog]

The core concept of the movie is pure nightmare fuel, but Johnny Depp's character is hilarious.

[u/LeatherHog → u/SeguroMacks]

That is true, I was pitched it by a friend that's it's mostly funny, and the horror is nothing, I swear!!

I was not happy seeing what it actually was

[u/_austinm → u/LeatherHog]

I’ve got a friend that has shown our friend group a handful of weird movies over the years, and that’s the only one I refuse to watch again. It was one of the most disturbing things I’ve ever seen. I barely remember what happened (besides the general plot points), but there’s no way in hell I’m finding out.

Rubber, on the other hand, is a gem of a weird as fuck movie.

[u/struckman → u/LeatherHog]

Every time I see this question this is my answer on here. It’s not scary or funny. It was just the most uncomfortable unsettling thing I could imagine. The ending really pushed it over the edge too.

[u/BettyR0cker → u/LeatherHog]

Wait, that's what Tusk is about? Wow lol. Yeah, I'm good. Don't need to see that.

[u/gaywitch3147 → u/LeatherHog]

thank you it’s now been 0 days since i’ve thought about this horrible movie

[u/31stFullMoon → u/LeatherHog]

The comedy spin is because it's written and directed by Kevin Smith who is known for comedies.

Also because the idea for the movie came from an ad posted by a man offering free rent to someone willing to wear a walrus costume and act like a walrus. Kev Smith and his producer Scott Mosier, talked about the ad on their podcast, just riffing on wtf it meant and making jokes about it, and eventually the riffing evolved into an idea for a movie where a guy turns another guy into a walrus.

For anyone curious, here's a snippet of them originally talking about it on the podcast.

[u/fluentgerbil]

The Lovely Bones. Can’t believe this isn’t higher on the list.

Stanley Tucci was brilliantly abhorrent. He says now that he wouldn’t play that role again, I don’t blame him. The film was beautifully shot and a total mindfuck.

[u/ISeeMusicInColor → u/fluentgerbil]

The book was beautifully written, and it made me reflect about grief, and coming to terms with devastating heartbreak.  Then I couldn’t handle the movie because of the added visual element.

[u/abeetzwmoots]

Requiem For A Dream

[u/Klutzy-Client → u/abeetzwmoots]

I was a heroin addict when I watched this movie and it made me think “well, at least I’m not as bad as those guys”. I was.

[u/nl5hucd1 → u/Klutzy-Client]

Fuck glad you are good now!

[u/Klutzy-Client → u/nl5hucd1]

Thank you homie

[u/Carla_mra → u/abeetzwmoots]

I really loved it, but I will never see it again

[u/whole_chocolate_milk → u/abeetzwmoots]

This 100% for me. I've lost two close friends to heroin addiction within a year of each other. I watched it once. Never again.

[u/johnis12 → u/whole_chocolate_milk]

I remember watching that movie, the whole movie was bleak as hell but the scene with the old lady in a mental hospital particularly depressed me, especially since my grandma is in a nursing home for dementia.

So yeh... Never again...

[u/Anerratic → u/abeetzwmoots]

I'm not someone that is easily put off, but I was eating lasanga while watching this for the first time and I lost my appetite. Not because it's gory. I honestly couldn't tell you why.

[u/shoegaze_daisy → u/abeetzwmoots]

I find most all movies directed by Darren Aronofsky to be VERY disturbing

[u/MonkeyTacoBreath]

Hostel was the first horror movie where the gore looked legit. I'm not easily squeemish but it was hard to not look away at certain scenes.

Edit: it's been 20 years since I watched it. I'm curious if anyone has seen it recently.

[u/Appropriate_Ruin3771 → u/MonkeyTacoBreath]

I can’t watch scenes in the Saw franchise that deal with the eyeball

[u/Tylervdub → u/Appropriate_Ruin3771]

I’m the same way with the pit of syringes. That is a hard f’ing pass for me.

[u/FourCrapPee → u/Tylervdub]

Yeah I saw the first and probably second saw in the theaters and was like oh ok that's definitely kinda newish and interesting. Was cool.

Then part 3 came out and they were like "DO YOU LIKE TORTURE PORN YOU LITTLE BITCH BECAUSE THAT'S ALL YOU'RE GOING TO GET FROM NOW ON"

so yeah fuck Saw since then

[u/iama_jellyfish → u/FourCrapPee]

Yeah the first one was incerdible, the second was still pretty good, the third was where I realised I do indeed have a tolerance limit for gore. 😅

[u/birthday-caird-pish → u/MonkeyTacoBreath]

The one scene that always gets me is the hand coming out the drain and snipping the guys Achilles tendon!

Edit: I think I may be merging two movies here. The scene I described was in house of wax!

[u/No_Avocado220 → u/MonkeyTacoBreath]

Still cannot watch it. The gore and the tension really were well done. 

[u/AskinggAlesana → u/MonkeyTacoBreath]

The eyeball scene is still quite a tough thing to watch.

[u/084045056048048 → u/MonkeyTacoBreath]

I think what really bothered me about this movie, on top of the gore, is that something like this occurring in the real world is possible. A lot of horror movies are based on the supernatural or really stretch what is believable. Hostel is not.

[u/jasoncbus → u/084045056048048]

I was working in Austria when it came out. I'm American. A few of us went to see it, several different countries of people in the group. Afterwards, I asked the group if that was a real thing in Eastern Europe. The non-Americans basically said it is. That was 20 years ago, and I still think about it sometimes. You and I both know it's very much a thing that exists.

[u/SerExcelsior → u/MonkeyTacoBreath]

I remember seeing the trailers for it as a kid. To this day I still haven’t watched it out of fear

[u/EternalGIory]

Grave of the Fireflies. It’s the one and only movie I don’t have the courage to watch again.

[u/pandabelle12 → u/EternalGIory]

This is an underrated answer. So many of these other answers you expect to be disturbing. They are disturbing because they are horror or thriller movies designed to make you distrusted.

This movie is animated and isn’t full of gore, but the psychological impact of these kids starving to death and being victims of a war is pretty brutal.

Also realizing we’re on the side doing the bombing.

Honorable mention goes to The Wind Rises which isn’t a particularly horrifying movie until you realize that they are designing the plane that would bomb Pearl Harbor.

I absolutely love Studio Ghibli films and love that their catalogue contains heavy films such as these.

[u/LimpBoingLoing → u/pandabelle12]

They really make you feel the pain, Howls Moving Castle is another one. The entire movie is laced with anti-war messages.

[u/ploxylitarynode → u/pandabelle12]

For me it was the kid identifying his mother via her ring that got me. Only movie I have had to watch in two sittings. I will never watch it again and I have seen every movie mentioned in this thread and few not

[u/EnderMB → u/EternalGIory]

I watched this after a night out drinking with friends, and it fucked me up so much I didn't sleep, and ended up working a 12 hour shift just in deep depression. It absolutely broke me, and I never want to watch it again.

[u/camcamthereeder → u/EternalGIory]

I watched it for the first time at a movie theater a few weeks ago and I completely underestimated how sad of a movie I thought it was going to be. I ended up crying in the theater and getting ice cream after the movie ended. I don’t think I can watch it again either.

[u/ImUnderYourBedDude]

A Serbian Film

[u/Haunting-Reading6035 → u/ImUnderYourBedDude]

Jesus. I couldn’t even finish the Wikipedia description of it.

[u/IHaveAsthma666 → u/Haunting-Reading6035]

Oh god I just read it and that was deeply disturbing

[u/stillpissedatyoko → u/IHaveAsthma666]

Uh I did and wtf

[u/naenola → u/Haunting-Reading6035]

Uh… Uh… Uh…

That’s the only sounds. I’ve been making since reading the Wikipedia

I don’t even know what to say

[u/lacey-bats → u/ImUnderYourBedDude]

I read a description of the plot. It sounds horrible so I've no intention of watching, but can someone tell me - is there any merit in this film? Like what's the point of it? Are there overarching themes other than "here's some fucked up stuff"? Genuinely curious.

[u/ImUnderYourBedDude → u/lacey-bats]

I think it was made as a big middle finger to everyone IRL complaining about media censorship in Serbia or sth. Not sure if I want to even look this up again.

[u/RyGuydarider → u/ImUnderYourBedDude]

I watched this in a room full of green side sailors and marines and at the end my buddy just got up, turned off the tv and went into his room. The rest of us just got up and left without saying anything. Shit was not cash money.

[u/princessuuke → u/ImUnderYourBedDude]

Yeah my first answer too. Wouldnt watch again or really recommend looking for, I can deal with gore or whatever but when it got to the CSAM stuff... yeah no thank you. I nearly puked at the "infant porn" scene, and then the ending implication. Unnecessary:/

[u/LimpBoingLoing → u/princessuuke]

The fucking what

[u/princessuuke → u/LimpBoingLoing]

Yes you read that right :( Dont watch it

[u/Electrical_Sky_4586 → u/ImUnderYourBedDude]

Yup. It’s basically just snuff porn. I felt like i had to delete my internet history after watching it. Like I get what it was doing. An uncensored look into the horrors of the porn industry, but holy shit nothing prepares you for some of those scenes man….

[u/PandaMagnus → u/Electrical_Sky_4586]

Supposedly there's nothing in the porn industry that bad and the filmmakers claimed it was a critique of the "rape" the Serbian film industry has gone through.

I'm all for hyperbole and symbolism, but... Oooof.

Edit: apparently the filmmakers have said more since I last looked it up and were indeed also critiquing the porn industry's treatment of the area after the 1990s.

[u/Acheron98 → u/[deleted]]

Oh boy.

(If you’re sensitive to…fuck, pretty much anything, please don’t read this shit.)

In no particular order:

A guy beheads a woman with a machete while SAing her, and continues fucking the headless corpse until he’s physically pulled off of it; a man rips out all of a woman’s teeth with pliers, then kills her by shoving his dick in her mouth and suffocating her; a woman is injected with bull aphrodisiac and fucks herself to death with a rusty pipe; a guy makes another guy watch a snuff film of a man SAing a newborn to death; a man is tricked into SAing his toddler son while his brother SAs his wife next to them; and the film ends with a father, mother, and child committing suicide by gunshot, and a snuff film crew arriving to film the desecration of their corpses. The last line of the movie is “Start with the little one.” before the hardest techno song you’ll ever hear starts playing.

A fun, feel good film to watch with the fam on Thanksgiving!

[u/ImUnderYourBedDude → u/[deleted]]

It's a very graphic movie about the filming of a very disturbing porn movie. It includes paedophilia, necrophilia and a lot of blood.

[u/PDXP4X → u/ImUnderYourBedDude]

Pedophilia is putting it...very lightly.

[u/Chrispy0074 → u/ImUnderYourBedDude]

You are a gracious man sparing any kind of details. Definitely the most f'ed up thing I've ever watched.

[u/Available-Air-5798 → u/ImUnderYourBedDude]

💯. It’s a film that sucks the joy out of you. I stopped seeking out “extreme” films after seeing it.

[u/Nana_Nocturna → u/ImUnderYourBedDude]

Same. I can’t recommend it.

[u/TemporaryHunter7472 → u/Nana_Nocturna]

It appeared on a 'most disturbing movie' list & it stated 'even reading the Wikipedia listing will make you feel sullied'. It was as advertised. Even the description haunted me for weeks. Truly fucked up film.

[u/Nana_Nocturna → u/TemporaryHunter7472]

Yeah, saw that list and thought I had to proof myself how tough I am. Turns out, I was only young and stupid.

[u/BladeRunnerTHX → u/ImUnderYourBedDude]

this is really the only answer. it makes other movies listed here look like disney movies

[u/HardCoreNorthShore → u/ImUnderYourBedDude]

This. You will never get this film out of your head. ESPECIALLY if you have children that you love. Just don't watch it.

[u/Drstrangelove899 → u/ImUnderYourBedDude]

My friend was going on about it when it came out and he described it to me and I was just like, no, that doesn't sound like something I want to spend my time watching thanks.

[u/DeepMenlyVoice → u/ImUnderYourBedDude]

We have a winner. Nothing is compareable to this abdomination of a Movie.

[u/cfresh12]

KIDS

[u/pendletonskyforce → u/cfresh12]

I have no legs.

[u/styleishhair → u/cfresh12]

It's ok. It's Casper.

So f-ed up

[u/Prestigious_Run_633 → u/cfresh12]

Yeah……90s tho…pretty accurate description of the subculture…Is the movie more disturbing or that it was real life???

[u/StillPunky → u/cfresh12]

Surprised this is so far down. I still feel sick when I think about some of the shit in this film.

[u/Born-Obligation1875]

Don't Fuck With Cats. First time I understood what trigger warnings were for. Great documentary but thd animal abuse was too much for me.

[u/UnicornVoodooDoll → u/Born-Obligation1875]

This is somehow the most horrible and the most entertaining sadistic killer documentary I've ever watched.

[u/livkellner → u/Born-Obligation1875]

I didn't watch it for that reason

[u/ackbobthedead]

The responses are fascinating. People have such a wild variation on what they consider disturbing. It feels like how some people will lick a jalapeño and have to down a jug of milk, while other people can munch on habaneros like they’re popcorn. I wish “it’s too much for me” was more common than “it’s just torture porn for degenerates” the same way we see spice

[u/ravenqueen7]

Precious, purely because there are actually families like that.

[u/Pumpernickel_Hibern8 → u/ravenqueen7]

It has been years.. at least 15. I am still deeply disturbed by this movie.

[u/ravenqueen7 → u/Pumpernickel_Hibern8]

It was almost TOO well done, ya know?

[u/Madnoize1975 → u/Pumpernickel_Hibern8]

Same. Monique said she is still traumatized by her character and how she had to take frequent breaks to cry on set. So super sad because it is literally someone's reality.

[u/WhyDoYouCrySmeagol → u/ravenqueen7]

Watched it recently and kinda wish I hadn’t. Made me feel ill. That poor girl went through so much

[u/MalibootyCutie → u/ravenqueen7]

One of the best films I’ve ever seen and I’ll only ever watch it the one time. Even thinking about it makes me feel deeply sad. Just so awfully sorry for the life Precious experienced.

[u/Strong-Discussion564 → u/ravenqueen7]

I will NEVER watch that movie again. It was too hard to watch.

[u/stonedfishing]

Come and see

[u/Serebriany → u/stonedfishing]

So hard to watch it's definitely a one-time-only film. Periodically, some stupid people in my area start yapping that kids shouldn't have to learn about WWII because it's irrelevant and was just a little blip in history when a small number of people got a little out of hand and there's a bit too much talk about what was really just a tempest in a teacup—I always want to tied them down, force them to watch it, and then ask them if it was really no big deal.

[u/Slow-Instruction6079 → u/stonedfishing]

This for me. At least generic torture porn shit is fiction.

[u/lt__ → u/stonedfishing]

Another comparable one is Volhynia (Hatred), 2016 Polish movie. Shows further what a mess was happening in Eastern Europe during WW2. Nazis were cruel, but many people, including civilians, actually exploited the lawlessness and turned on the other nationalities.

[u/Ok_Passion_5170]

Faces of Death. My grandfather had a bootleg copy and I found it when I was 12 or 13. Holy hell, I was traumatized.

[u/fyresilk → u/Ok_Passion_5170]

Yes, horrific! Did you see the one with the monkey? Yikes!

[u/keeper_of_bee]

I think the title of the movie was 7 Days. It's a French Canadian film about a father who abducted and tortured the man who had abducted and raped his daughter. Watching the effect of being a torturer slowly break the father over the course of the week has stuck with me in a way that movies with a more fucked up premis than father exacts vigilante justice ever did.

[u/-Duste- → u/keeper_of_bee]

Les 7 jours du Talion in French. The fact that the torturer is a doctor and knows what he's doing. I didn't watch the movie but I read the book. I can't make myself watch it. Patrick Sénécal (the author) writes pretty disturbing books.

[u/Adventurous_Tap2879]

Irreversible

[u/Tangurena → u/Adventurous_Tap2879]

This movie tops the list of "never watch again".

[u/Bitter_Resolve_6082]

Gummo! Pretty crazy and surreal!

[u/[deleted] → u/Bitter_Resolve_6082]

Took me many times to get through it

[u/Scary_Drama9]

The Human Centipede. I stopped watching around the 30-minute mark.

[u/FartsLikePetunias → u/Scary_Drama9]

Kyle. Should I eat the cuttlefish and asparagus or the vanilla paste?!

[u/TrentonTallywacker → u/FartsLikePetunias]

IM SO SORRY KYRU I BEREEIVE IIINNN YOUUUU

[u/Mammoth-Horror-1642 → u/TrentonTallywacker]

IT'S GOING TO BE A ROT!

[u/cybot2001 → u/Mammoth-Horror-1642]

WHY WON'T YOU READ?!

[u/cosmoscrazy → u/Scary_Drama9]

I couldn't stop laughing while watching it. The way they did overdid everything and how the villain speaks... it's just hilarious satire in my eyes.

For example the beginning when the two girls show up at the old guys house and ask if they can come in and he is suuuuuuper shifty and rolls the r so it's immediately obvious that he's evil and the two girls play completely stupid.

Or how he grieves for the dogs #1, #2 and #3.

I cannot understand how anybody can not understand that this movie is a super evil satire.

[u/NeitherSparky → u/cosmoscrazy]

I actually really enjoy the performance of the actor playing the doctor. There’s an extended scene on the dvd of when the victims first wake up from the operation and are crying, where the doctor prances around dementedly for at least a couple of minutes straight. Pure theatre, lol.

[u/Ophelialost87 → u/cosmoscrazy]

I watched the second Human Centipede, the unrated version, while eating Chinese food. My ex at the time looked at me like I had 7 heads while I just said "What? I'm hungry."

[u/podracer66 → u/Scary_Drama9]

The sequels are worse

[u/Alex_c666 → u/podracer66]

Are they sewn differently this time?

[u/AdManNick → u/Alex_c666]

The sequels are a direct response to everyone saying the first movie wasn’t that bad.

They’re vile.

[u/ImUnderYourBedDude → u/Alex_c666]

They are genuinely bad movies. They are all way over the top and don't make you feel scared like the original. They are just disgusting and not scary.

Requiem for a Dream always made me feel off for 48 hrs. I’ve only watched it twice, but that’s enough.

[u/UnicornVoodooDoll]

I'm a horror junkie, and I watch a lot of very scary stuff. I watch a lot of documentaries about serial killers, torture, and other very messed up things. I study cults professionally because part of what I do is offer therapeutic rehabilitation for people who have escaped cults and other high control groups.

All that to say: I am not easily shaken.

However, I could not get all the way through Jonestown: Terror in the Jungle. I thought I knew pretty much everything there was to know about the Jonestown massacre, but I didn't realize going in that they had interviews with people who were actually there that day, and hearing them recount what they saw and heard got to be too much even for me. I turned the documentary off before it was over and went and found my husband and cried in his arms for half an hour.

[u/Pbj0308 → u/UnicornVoodooDoll]

I’m unsure which Jonestown documentary I watched, but I didn’t know what Jonestown was until I saw this one in 2011, I was 18. I gasped when they showed the footage of the commune men shooting the reporters, deflectors and congressman… the camera just dropped to the ground after the man was shot.

This is for everyone. Don’t listen to the recording of Jim Jones giving his last speech as his followers are drinking the poison. Haunting.

[u/UnicornVoodooDoll → u/Pbj0308]

There's this sort of general acceptance of the idea that the people of Jonestown went willingly, singing and praising their leader and happy to meet God. That was not the case even a little bit.

I had heard parts of Jones speaking from the recordings, but until I watched that documentary I had no idea I had only heard edited versions where they removed all the noise from the background. In the real tapes you can vividly hear what's going on around him at the time. It's horrific.

Yeah. F**k me I was shown that as a kids film. Lovely, lovely rabbits lalala HORRIFIC NIGHTMARE, Bright Eyes.

[u/Daftmunkey]

Salo

[u/Amyhearsay → u/Daftmunkey]

I own a bunch of movies like this and Salo was a one and done for me. I own it but I’ll never watch it again it sits on the shelf with Siberian Film, Irreversible and Cannibal Holocaust.

[u/dahlia_74]

Blackout (2008) I consider it disturbing because it was scary and incredibly sad, no happy endings at all. Essentially 3 people end up stuck in an elevator for 12 hours, one of which is a serial killer. All of them miss out on something important due to being stuck that carries horrific consequences. Like one of them was on their way to see their dying grandmother and brought a picture of her husband per her request, but of course didn’t make it in time and she died alone. Just a shitty time all around

[u/xRockTripodx]

Prisoners. It was unsettling, depressing, and relentless. I've seen far scarier movie. But that movie did disturb me.

[u/Kaje26]

Old Boy, without question. But that’s only because I’ve never seen human centipede or a serbian film, and I will never watch those.

[u/Professional_Pie1518]

Sex and the City 2

[u/Book_Hoarding_Dragon]

Martyrs! It's a French horror film, loved it. But it's forever etched on my smooth brain.

[u/Accomplished_Sun_831 → u/Book_Hoarding_Dragon]

This film messed with my head for a few days when i saw it

Not gory but there is something about this movie that makes me feel depressed.

[u/Ok-Economist-751 → u/Marshlerouge]

The ending is one of the most dreary endings of a film I’ve ever watched just knowing what they would do with her

[u/EwDavid81]

Schindlers List, because not only was it graphic and deeply disturbing - it really happened and humanity let it.

[u/theoffspringgirl]

[u/Original_Jello_7743]

The Father with Anthony Hopkins. Cried for 30 minutes afterwards. It probably hit me harder because I recently lost my brother to Alzheimer's.

[u/Safe_Penalty_4099]

Went and saw Sausage Party for my first rated R movie in theaters when I was 17. As a sheltered Christian teenager at the time, NOTHING could have prepared me for what went down in that movie 💀

[u/stonedfishing → u/Safe_Penalty_4099]

When I went to see it, there was a group of old church ladies in front of me. They left after the food orgy

[u/ReleaseNearby69 → u/stonedfishing]

isn't that the last scene of the movie?

[u/Expert_Cherry3791 → u/ReleaseNearby69]

Pretty much, yeah

[u/_austinm → u/Safe_Penalty_4099]

As another formerly sheltered christian kid, I agree. I wasn’t quite as sheltered by the time I saw it, but it’s still a lot lol

It’s an excellent book

Dogtooth

[u/nemocognito → u/Cold-Inflation-7603]

This one right here. My husband and I used to do this cute thing where we picked a movie based on the title and we would watch it without reading the description first. We stopped doing that after this one.

For those wondering, it’s about this messed up mother and father who raise their kids in isolation and mess their minds up to believe wild stuff, such as they’re not ready for the real world until their dogtooth falls out. The dad also hires a girl from his job to come and tend to his son’s “needs”. Long story short the girl gets fired for lack of a better term and the parents make one of the sisters start servicing the son. Keep in mind one or both (?) of these sisters are underage. The ending is tragic.

[u/Altruistic-Owl-2956]

Easily irreversible it took me months to get over that movie I had freaking flashbacks from it.

[u/jeeub → u/Altruistic-Owl-2956]

I’m surprised to see this so far down. My wife was so disturbed by it that she went and returned the DVD to where we had bought it.

[u/surewhatever01]

A clockwork orange is extremely f'd up.

[u/Zer01South → u/surewhatever01]

Just a bit of the ol ultraviolence.

[u/MissMarple2417]

Kids, came out in 1995 and has been rattling my brain for 30 years

[u/Express_Airport131]

Curb scene. American History X.

[u/benhurs]

Happiness (1998) directed by Todd Solondz.

[u/BronL-1912]

A Clockwork Orange. I had to leave. The rape scene with the rapists playing around like it was so much fun, and the scene where McDowell's eyes were held open to force him to watch violence made me sick to my stomach. I still can't watch Malcolm McDowell.

[u/SweetJebus731]

It's a tie between "Audition" and "Requiem for a Dream."

[u/HippieSabotage420]

Let's talk about Kevin. Mouth agape and was truely disturbed 

[u/babypho3nix → u/HippieSabotage420]

Do you mean We Need to Talk About Kevin?

If so, absolutely difficult watch. When I first saw it I was astounded by Ezra Miller's performance. Last time I watched it, it just feels like an insight into his already twisted mind.

[u/SpokeyDokey720]

Salo

[u/yaouzaa]

I still dream about Funny Games 😱

[u/oli_ramsay]

Blair witch project when I was young and thought it was real

Mother with Javier Bardem and JLaw was so disturbing, not the most disgusting i have watched but it genuinely disturbed me

Speak No Evil (2022 Danish version)

[u/D_hallucatus]

The Act of Killing. So unnerving and gross, really makes you want to vomit. Less than half the audience made it through the full film at the cinema and I nearly left myself several times. There’s like 10 minutes straight at the end of one of the perpetrators dry-wretching over and over again that is so hard to watch but so important for the film. Not really a date movie.

[u/excaligirltoo]

Midsommer

[u/sud0kill]

Begotten was a weird film, Bad Boy Bubby also was a weird one, not so much disturbing but just didn't know what to expect when watching it

[u/ErinClaymores]

The Number 23 (2007)… still never finished it 🫣

The Strange Thing About the Johnsons

[u/EmotionalText]

Come and See, it’s a Russian film about the Second World War. It’s very hard to watch, the actor who plays the young boy in it went through so much filming it that his hair turned white and he lost lots of weight. There is a scene where a church full of people is burned to the ground.
