Most twisted/disturbing movie you've seen?

Richard Dower

I usually avoid such myself, but what movie did you see that put a :eek: on your face?

And do snuff movies really exist?...like 8MM?

Id have to go with Hostle

I have to say Hostel 2 actually annoyed me it was so twisted. IIRC there is a scene where some young has a shower of blood and its just painful to watch.

I think it's good to keep in mind that violence/graphic content isn't nessecarily the same thing as disturbing. Sure, graphic violence can be disturbing, but something doesn't have to be violent to disturb you. Half the time David Lynch can absolutely unsettle me far beyond your average horror film:

Hostel is definitely disturbing in places, but there are other films that blow it out of the water. Take a look at Irreversible if you want to see something truly disturbing.

Yep, Irreversible wins it.

Street Fighter with JCVD and Kylie Minogue. OMG

I'll also add, Martyrs. Probably one of my favourite films recently, but it's certainly of the most utterly disturbing, unsettling and downright chilling films I've seen in a long time.

Hostel made me laugh more than anything else, I thought it was just a decent variation on a slasher flick, with a good concept, and some very dark humour.

The film that most disturbed me recently was the American remake of Funny Games.

The two killers are just so casual about the violence they're inflicting, the kid having his head blown off (admittedly offscreen, but we see the bloodstains etc, and the horrible way Naomi Watts is still struggling to escape at the end, only to be ever so casually tipped over the edge of the boat. Plus the rewinding of the death of one of the killers. It just left me on a real downer.

Pride Fighter

Ichi the Killer was one for me as it was one of the first Japanese films I ever seen. Now its just meh.

Yeah, Martyrs left me quite unsettled also.

The latter half of the movie - especially the 20 minutes or so - just got more and more horrifying.

Necronomicon

I agree with some of the comments above about Hostel - it could have been very disturbing, but the direction it took was almost more slapstick in places, and there was a lot of humour. Add to that the fact

that Paxton gets his retribution and there's a real sense of closure. For me, some of the films that disturb (almost anger) me are the ones where the villian doesn't meet justice. It's like you put up with the difficult content waiting for some reward that doesn't come.

I'll echo Karl on Martyrs - literally couldn't stop thinking about it for a few days afterwards. Irreversible for me wasn't on the same level; I'd heard so much about the

fire extinguisher scene

that I think I built it up more than what it was when I saw it.

The rape scene

was genuinely uncomfortable, but those two aside it wasn't bad (and a good film imo).

I'll add Haneke's Funny Games. For me it rivaled Martyrs in terms of afterthought.

Hearing the shotgun round going off while one of the bad guys is making a sandwich in the kitchen was very tense, having to wait to see who got shot. Then seeing that it was the child, pretty shocking stuff.

I haven't seen the US remake so not sure if the same applies.

Edit: Apologies MikeC101, somehow I missed that

Dead Presidents! from the Hughes Brothers, there is one really disturbing scene! at the time watching it, thinking what was the point of even putting in there.

Notorious

It'd probably have to be House of 1000 Corpses for me. One of my mates decided to rent it when it came out on DVD - he thought it'd be great because Rob Zombie directed it. It's been a while since I've seen it, but I remember it being both twisted and terrible. I don't think I watched the whole thing.

Suicide Circle - the opening scene with the

the girls holding hands and throwing themselves in front of the train

. I think it was the accompanying music that made it so f**ked up.

Also, the montage is the middle where

the women happily slices her hand to pieces

. Again, the happy music I think made it doubly disturbing.

cnocbui

A Canadian film called Cube. Interestingm, but remorselessly depressing.

Akabusi

Taxidermia, quite disturbing

MonicaBing

The hills have eyes, part 1 and 2....the birth scene, where the camera pans in on the women on the bed and you can see how long her toe nails are as she's been held captive for so long is just plain down right disturbing to me..

Irreversible was totally disturbing; don't think I'm recovered from watching that.

Antichrist (2008) was utterly disturbing, but held a lurid fascination. For those thinking of watching this film, here is what you are up against:

WARNING: This is extremely disturbing, read at your own peril, I shít you not! If you are of sensitive disposition, DO NOT READ THE FOLLOWING SPOILER. Please do not say you were not warned.

In one controversial scene [in the movie], She hits His testicles with a wooden plank so hard that it is implied they are crushed. While He is unconscious, she masturbates him until he ejaculates blood. She then drills a hole through his shin to bolt him onto a grindstone. In a later scene, She cuts off her own clitoris with a pair of rusty scissors

Sleepers was also a disturbing piece of work (anything that deals with sexual abuse generally is disturbing)

The follow up 'The Devils Rejects' blows it out of the water gore wise. Much more realistic as well. Love it

Yeah Martyrs for me. Definitely disturbing and chilling.

Put me off horrors for a good few weeks, and, actually, most horrors I watch now feel tame in comparison.

Hostel is a comedy, I laughed my way through it. It's ridiculous like Drag me to Hell, you can't take it seriously. Funny Games could of been interesting, and admittedly I've only seen the bastardized American version, but the

breaking of the 4th wall and rewinding the movie

took me right out of the experience and ruined it for me.

Watching the Exorcist as a young teen in the late 80's was very disturbing, I can assure you! :eek:

No, its an urban legend. Documentary footage doesnt count, altho it is often used intertwined with fiction in Mondo type films. (E.g. Faces of Death)

The whole snuff movie urban legend was kicked off, ironically, by a film in the 70's called "Snuff". It was a crap film but the final scene saw the director call cut, and call the actor off the set while the camera kept rolling and they proceeded to kill the actor. It was part of the act but was used quite effectively by the director, as a marketing tool for the film's launch. They even arranged for pretend protestors to protest about the film outside cinemas etc. From what I recall, i think the film was Brazilian. But i could be wrong and Im too lazy to look it up!

Irréversible, couldn't watch it more than once tbh. Great film though.

Dead girl was pretty messed up. Two young lads find a dead girl and decide to turn her into their sex toy but she's not quite dead.

Happiness.


Hands down the most disturbing film I've seen.

Yes, some of the stuff in it, eg

when she gets shot, and the guy sticks his finger into the pus filled hole and suggests now she has another orifice to enjoy...Honestly, the most implausible thing I found about the film was the readiness of pretty much every male who encountered her to shag her, despite her being tied up, snarling, shot, etc... and that no one would report any of it to the authorities.

BopNiblets

Had to turn it off.

louisa200

Irreversible staring Monica belluci. One of the most disturbing films I have ever ever seen and doubt I would be able to sit through it again, it actually made me feel physically sick x

blahblah06

Deathproof WTF was that about

Nichololas

Gozu.

And another vote for Irreversible.

Takashi Miike and Irreversible win this thread I think.

Anti-Christ and Martyrs are ones I've seen recently that were quite difficult to stomach.

The one that comes to mind is The Last House On The Left

The rape scene was very brutal. The fact that Mari was violated so brutally in front of four other people, held down by a woman, raped doggy style (I know that's most likely to do with MPAA guidelines one accepted "sex" acts) which gave even more of a forceful/dominant edge to the scene. I think too because the actress was so slender, and the guy who played Krug was so big, she was just abused completely and continually.
