But shit like decapitations, faces getting cut off, or even people being eaten alive doesn't even a chill. I think it's because I'v been de-sensitized to over-the-top but small things seem more realistic and there fore scarier. huh.


ditto.

Mulholland Drive and generally David Lynch movies have that spooky feeling.

Tokolosh 05.18.2007 02:45 AM

 

"What is this?"

Most of Michael Haneke's films are confrontational and disturbing. Funny Games is the first one that springs to mind. The first time I watched it, I wanted to jump into the screen and kick the shit out of Paul and Peter. La Pianiste is quite perverted and embarrassing at times. Benny's Video and Caché(his latest film) have their moments too. All these films are great though, and Haneke is one of my favorite directors.
Highly recommended.

FUCK it gives me the willies just to think about that, years & years after I saw it. I HATED that scene and i thought it was unnecessary with such graphic detail. But great movie though!


Wait till you see Irréversible.

Another film I'd like to mention is Thundercrack!
Wonderful!

LifeDistortion 05.18.2007 03:06 AM

I cant' believe I forgot about "Mysterious Skin". That film really did disturb me, you leave that movie feeling dirty. Its one of the most depressing movies I've ever seen.

I watched that in slow-motion. It was quite nice.

No, or in Robocop, when the guy gets fucked by chemicals and turns into a freak and says 'Help meeee'

ALIEN ANAL 05.18.2007 03:10 AM

lol

something that makes me feel uneasy is the small space that Luke Skywalker has to sit in when he visits Yoda in his home and eat baked beans.

king_buzzo 05.18.2007 03:11 AM

Yes. Yoda is sick.
Jabba the Hut is quite disturbing

sonicl 05.18.2007 03:11 AM

Salems Lot, the 1979 made-for-TV one with David Soul, is the one film most likely to keep me awake after watching it.

Tokolosh 05.18.2007 03:12 AM

 

The jerking off in Ken Park?

sarramkrop 05.18.2007 04:09 AM

When i was a kid i was really disturbed by watching John Carpenter's Assault On Precint 13, especially the scene where the little girl goes to buy an ice cream and she gets shot. Rarely a movie disturbs me nowadays, but one of the most thought-provocking ones i've ever seen will always remain The Incident. I never tire of recommending it to everyone.

sarramkrop 05.18.2007 04:09 AM

I've also found Kids a bit disturbing too.

also a short about the women traffic in the mexico-us border, cant remember the name.

Trasher02 05.18.2007 04:16 AM

Kids was a pretty controversial film but it wasn't really shocking to me.

king_buzzo 05.18.2007 04:20 AM

The trailer for Fog/Mist/whatever the name is....

jico. 05.18.2007 04:22 AM

otac na sluzbenom putu was interesting too.

king_buzzo 05.18.2007 04:24 AM

^Father on business trip? Which country is this from?

pao-lino 05.18.2007 04:27 AM

irreversible argh... not the rape scene but the fight scene...

a scene that disturbed me a lot when I was a kid was in the last of mohicans, when there's someone breaking an arm or something like that.
now I dont know what disturbs me. I see cadavers and wounds almost everyday, so splatter doesn't make me effect anymore, cos I know it's just fake.
maybe now the only scenes that disturb me are pedophile scenes... cant remember movies with those. or suicide scenes, ken park for istance.

lynch's inland empire, the scene where laura dern is bleeding and she's by the bums in hollywood is disturbing and I barely couldn't stand it for its heaviness.

king_buzzo 05.18.2007 04:42 AM

3 years. Balkanski Spijun(Spy of the balkans) rules. Its fucking amazing.

Bertrand 05.18.2007 04:43 AM

Funny Games was really disturbing. I saw in in a theatre when it was released, and during the silent moments, I could'nt help squinting around, in case someone would stand up - if anybody had stood up, I would have shaken. This film is brilliant.
It kept disturbing me later, when I went down south to a friend of mine's. He picked me up at the station and drove straight to his house. And the countryside was the same as Haneke's flick. I was telling myself it would be stupid to be terrified. Still. Luckily, he didn't play the same music in his car
(the opening of the film works on these music switches from classical to Naked City like blurts)

I think I saw The Incident, the subway thing, when I was under 13. Never saw it again. Really striking.

Skinner (Ivan Nagy) was disturbing too, for every character was experiencing loneliness in a town where no communication existed. The characters had humanity, and one of them was a killer, skinning his victims and wearing what he had peeled off of them; bloody. And every character seeked a way to get away with the weight of the world.

The Believers (John Schlesinger, 1987). Not a great picture. But there are spiders crawling under people's skin.
I can hardly bear that.
And films where you see needles meeting veins. This makes me crawl up or turn away. I saw one of Paul Morrissey's 70 pictures, one with a long close up on the soft of a forearm.
Anyone remember Morrissey's Cocaine by the way?

atsonicpark 05.18.2007 05:13 AM

hmm...

not sure why people find mulholland drive "disturbing". i can hardly think of a disturbing scene in it. it's an amazing amazing film... but disturbing? i think blue velvet is waaaaaaaaaaaaaaay more disturbing.. as far as lynch goes.

irreversible.. the rape didn't disturb me as much as the fucking 20 minutes of low frequency noise, camera spinning around to people buttfucking and jacking off, and just.. shaky-ass camera and making me dizzy and giving me a headache. not really disturbing, just annoying.

as for mysterious skin, i thought that movie was sweet. and it ends with a nice lil sigur ros treat! by comparison, the end of nowhere is much more disturbing: I'M OUTTA HERE!

atsonicpark 05.18.2007 05:14 AM

Oh, haha, I see someone mentioned skinner too.. horrible and hilarious ted raimi flick. Love the scene where he kills the black dude and wears his skin and starts speaking ebonics.

Iain 05.18.2007 05:37 AM

Yeah, I think the soundtrack in Irreversible is actually designed to make you feel nauseous. Pretty sure I read that somewhere.

ZEROpumpkins 05.18.2007 06:08 AM

Cape feare

nicfit 05.18.2007 06:19 AM

Oh, American HIstory X, the teeth+sidewalk bit.

MellySingsDoom 05.18.2007 06:24 AM

In A Glass Cage

nicfit 05.18.2007 06:33 AM

Oh, and some scenes in MP Meaning Of Life.

Green_mind 05.18.2007 08:02 AM

Not really a disturbing film, but anyone remember watching children of the corn, I think there is something that makes peter horton look a bit like thurston in this movie, maybe just me?

That steven spielberg film duel was fairly disturbing and also very funny.

MellySingsDoom 05.18.2007 08:06 AM

[quote=Green_mindI think there is something that makes peter horton look a bit like thurston in this movie, maybe just me?quote]

I noticed the similarity not long after I got into S Youth. I bet Thurston must have heard that one a fair few times.

pbradley 05.18.2007 08:11 AM

I hate startle moments, like the shitload in Jurassic Park.

I'm just generally jumpy (pat me on the back from behind and you'll see) so my retarded friends think I'm scared when it's really that I'm pretty stressed all the time

When I heard about "Irreversible" the idea of the film was intriguing but had heard the rape scene is just so brutal, and have pretty much avoided watching the film. Gore and murder stuff doesn't bother me so much, I've seen my share of graphic violence, and I just take it for fantasy, but have very little desire to watch such violent and distrubing rape scenes.


Have you seen Baise-moi? It's one of the worst films I've ever encountered. Terrible acting, bad lighting, pornographic shots of penetrations, snuffish rape scenes etc. I have it because it looks good next to all the other crap I like: Pups, Doom Generation and Thundercrack! <Even though the last one is genius.
As for the most disturbing Lynch film? ...Eraserhead.

ALIEN ANAL 05.18.2007 08:26 AM

the american version of the office


WHY!!?!?!

jimbrim 05.18.2007 01:21 PM

Canibal Holocaust i thought was bloody disturbing.

Torn Curtain 05.18.2007 04:05 PM

Jaws (as a child)
Time of the gypsies
Requiem for a dream

MellySingsDoom 05.18.2007 05:30 PM

Seeing this porn film where Ron Jeremy was sucking his own cock. Yeech!

That's pretty much how I feel about it. I honestly found it hard to talk to anyone for a few hours after watching it.
