mysterious skin is a great film....Jospeh Gordon Levitt was just incredible.

did someone say august underground mordum in an earlier post?

because that movie, though it did not shock/disturb me at all (i'm desensitized!), made my friend FAINT... i mean, it's seriously fucking terrible. download it if you must, but... don't buy this shit. people can say what they want about the artistic merits of it or whatever, but the fact is, that shit is just fucking sickening. i love horror/exploitation/b films but it's the most disturbing film a normal person will ever see. i mean, they cut open a woman and fuck the hole and they cut a dick off and they rape and kill a little girl and it shows it ALL. just sick.

well one thing i remember is not being able to watch the thumb-cutting scene in the english patient. i'm not easily disturbed, but everything that has to do with putilating fingers or hands, or even the idea, gives me the creeps.. i feel sick when i even think about fingers breaking or stuff like that.

and oh yes, most so-called 'comedies' disturb me too.

When I was young and first saw the video for Come To Daddy it was quite disturbing. Just the thought of those evil kids running around in gangs creating menace got to me.

I just saw 'Hostel' on tv.

There was no need for that amount of gore.

Yes, poor Willem.

I didn't care much for the gore, but I was very much disturbed by the "Dutch" and the "Dutch accents" spoken in that movie. I won't bitch about them filming somewhere in the Czech Republic and then pretending it to be Amsterdam, but why attempt to have Czech actors trying to speak Dutch? They could've even used synchronised voices or something if real actors would be too expensive. But this was just cringeworthy. Even worse was the so-called Dutch accent of the businessman when he was speaking English. I don't know what the fuck that was about, but it was so bad that I just couldn't get over it. Totally ruined the movie for me... not that there was much of a movie to be ruined, but still.

Jorg Buttgereit's 'Nekromantik' is pretty damn disturbing.
And the rape and mutilation scene in 'Man Bites Dog' freaks me out as well.

The dog scene in "The Fly II"...and that movie in general.

Also, when I was fourteen and watched "Indiana Jones and the temple of doom"...I can't believe they showed how the priest takes the heart out of the sacrifice victim with his bare hand. It was not the thing in itself (well, it was to a degree) but the anti-naturality of it. They had recommended it in the video club as "entertaining for young people"...I remember my heart beating so fast but I thought I should be brave and keep watching.
I know, it sounds silly.
I've avoided horror movies and the like since then. :eek:

"Santa Sangre"

I said I was fourteen.

Many things have happened since then by the way. I'm not easily scared by movies; life is much scarier, etc.

The first time I saw Seven, I thought that was pretty disturbing, good movie though.

Also, whoever mentioned Eraserhead. That movie kinda bothered me.

In a not-due-too-graphic-nature way, Ghost World disturbed me...

Ghost World is a very disturbing/upsetting film^

Don't Look Now, The Juniper Tree and Audition all shook me up a bit, and still do.

The Night Porter upset me so much that I literally cried for about 10 minutes after it ended. There's no graphic violence to be found in it, it's simply a gut-wrenching film.

"Men Behind The Sun" is one film I'd hesitate to show to anyone. The infamous "cat" sequence would finish most people off.

The part when they fuck the guy in Pulp Fiction, forgot his name though... Gimp was very disturbing as well.....

BASEketball disturbed me by how sheerly unfunny it was.

Johnny Eck (Johnny the Half Boy) in Freaks (1932) was mind-boggling.
How much of an intestine does he really have, and where is his anus?

the heart is deceitful above all things and requiem for a dream

It's also amazing that he lived until the rip age of eighty.

I forgot The Virgin Suicides.

Freddy Got Fingered was a really sick/distudbing movie. I loved it.

last night i watched bunel's "Exterminating angel" which was really quite disturbing. just watching it made me start to feel really chlostraphobic.

PRINCE OF DARKNESS by John Carpenter.

Just watched Wolf Creek. That and Hostel and other films of that sort not only disturb me, they fuckin' depress me. I'm watching this girl begging for her life in "Wolf Creek" and I wanna cry. I'm not scared. I'm totally bummed out. NIGHTMARE ON ELM STREET flicks are great, 'coz they're so fake. Friday the 13th X? Masterpiece.

What's next? Some fun flick about a school shooting? I mean, if we as a society agree that torture is "entertaining," why not go all the way?

Wolf Creek was indeed one of the most disturbing horror films I've seen in a long time. Very down-beat and dark, on top of feeling very realistic. It's gone on to become one of my favorite horror films.

Hostel was a steaming pile of garbage. I couldn't wait to see it, and I ended up loathing it, along with the rest of my friends.

The first thing that comes to my mind is the scene from Gummo when the guy says, "Do you wanna fuck her?" and you soon realise it's that retarded girl they are paying to fuck.


Big props for the nipple tweak though.

bad boy bubby has some pretty fucked up stuff in it

It, it got me horrified of clowns for a while.

i hope the new Joker makes me horrified of clowns

eraserhead on acid
and kern / lunch shorts after eating a block of hash and going to the cinema and seeing a girl get her pussy sewn up

ew you called ia vagina a pussy

I would never watch Eraserhead on drugs. Thats just a recipe for disaster.

Haha I laughed my ass off, what a mazoshist(sp)

I looked up that Men Behind the Sun movie. It sounds pretty horrible. I don't really get why anyone would want to watch that.

by the end of Audition I was in the fetal position

I constantly had the wtf face while watching Gummo

I couldn't turn my head while watching Visitor Q I didn't want to miss a thing. This is my favorite movie to show my friends when I want to make them die a little bit inside.

Why do people find Hostel disturbing? It seemed pretty weak in comparison to anything by Takashi Miike.

that reminds me when i watched raiders of the lost ark for the first time when i was like 6 and at the end when they opened the ark and all the nazis get melted i thought "wow, that was too much" but when the movie ended i realized that scene made the movie better for it.

^Yeah, I suppose so. I was pretty tense I guess. Now they air the movie almost every Sunday here but they cut that part off. I think they don't wanna disturb easily disturbed kids like I was at fourteen. Anyway, although I don't watch horror movies by general rule, I pretty much take anything as long as it has a purpose. Like you say, if it makes for a better movie.

Now I'd call Apocalypse Now deeply disturbing but not for the graphic violence. But it's my all-time favorite movie. That flic split my life in two.
