Most disturbing movie you have seen?

rekluse · 04-04-2022 5:37pm #1

Watched Butchers (2021) last night and it was pretty decent horror/slasher type movie. It was pretty grim in places but by no means the most disturbing movie, but it got me thinking about the most brutal film I have seen. Whats the most disturbing movie you have seen? A couple that spring to mind for me.

Irreversible - Pretty brutal rape scene in this and also a very graphic murder.

I spit on your grave - Another with a pretty gruesome rape scene.

Sinister.- Watched this recently and it was much darker than I anticipated. It was stuck in my head for a few days after.

Any other suggestions from people? A few others that I've heard are pretty brutal but haven't seen personally are Cannibal Holocaust, Martyrs, The Poughkeepsie Tapes and A Serbian film.

Mother (2017) was horrid, gruesome and made me feel sick.

"Last Exit to Brooklyn" ........definitely NOT a first date movie & that's from experience 🤣

Girl with the Dragon Tattoo (2011)

There was a rape scene in it which wasn't an easy watch, very good film though way better than the re make.

I watched Bambi in the Ambassador Cinema.

I left crying when his mammy was killed... The brutality. 😱😭

Depends on my age, aged 7 the Daleks frightened the **** out of me, aged 10 it was Dracula or Frankenstein. Nowadays a Suspense film rather than horror is the worst

Savior. 1998 film set during the Bosnian war.

Some very disturbing scenes and don't think it is a film I would enjoy watching again.

Human centipede and Tusk make me gag, can’t do body horror.

Martyrs left an impression too

Dempo1 · 04-04-2022 10:01pm

Have to say, Deliverance. It's a movie I've only seen once and many years ago and I still think it one of the most disturbing movies I've ever seen , but equally it was Brilliant.

Cannibal Holocaust is great. Top score by Riz Ortolini too.

Also Cannibal Ferox.

Last House On The Left (1972) is bleak as is the copycat Late Night Trains / Night Train Murders

House On The Edge Of The Park and New York Ripper are on the high scale of grimness too.

Scum - life in a British borstal

Clockwork Orange - avant garde violence

One Hour Photo - Robin Williams at his creepiest best

3-4 scenes in that beyond horrific. Easily the most disturbed I've ever been watching a movie. Sure you can do irreversible and send people down to a fisting club, and do 20minute rape scenes, but this is something else entirely. Very real and haunting.

Brilliant 🤣

I saw The Omen when I was about 11 or 12 back in the 1980's . Turned me off horror for life. Decapitation scene was something I will never forget.

PierreLeCake · 05-04-2022 12:37pm

The Exorcist. Saw it when I was an innocent teenage Catholic in the late 70's.I had nightmares after.I don't know if its aged but I could n't look at it again.I really upped the prayer saying for a few months after

Stephen_Maturin · 05-04-2022 12:38pm

A disinterested baby sitter left me to watch Robocop on the telly when I was about 8 or so.

The early scene in particular where Peter Weller gets his arm shot off with a shotgun really disturbed me at the time, that was a sleepless night

Fr Tod Umptious · 05-04-2022 12:43pm

"Once Were Warriors" is pretty grim

antfin · 05-04-2022 12:44pm

Lars Von Trier's Antichrist has some definite sphincter clenching scenes! One of the few movies that I really struggled to watch.

The Human Centipede - Who is that movie even for?

TheIrishGrover · 05-04-2022 2:14pm

Audition

Went in completely blind when I saw it on TV. Didn't even know who directed it at the time. Thought, "OK, the guy is a bit weird. This whole audition thing is definitely creepy and wrong but, hey, you know, he's suffering and not handling death of his wife well. I mean look at that girl, so quiet, sitting there with... huh... with a sack... huh... OHMYF*CKINGGODDIDTHATJUSTMOVE???WTF"

I remember being creeped out by Event Horizon too but I'd say that doesn't hold up. Haven't rewatched it but I'd say it's probably pretty cheezy :)

TheIrishGrover · 05-04-2022 2:16pm

Also, Graveyard of the Fireflies is a movie I just can't bring myself to watch again. It's just too heartbreaking. It's hard to believe that it was originally shown as a double-bill in Japan with the wonderful "My Neighbour Totoro"

loyatemu · 05-04-2022 3:28pm

that I've seen - possibly "A Short film about Killing" which is just incredibly bleak.

I've read a synopsis of "A Serbian Film" and I strongly recommend that you not only don't watch it, but don't read the synopsis either, bloody hell...
