Yeah i saw the uncut version. Difficult to watch to be honest.

Henry: Portrait of a Serial Killer was a bit mental... Documentary style

I watched A Serbian Film and Irreversible and I still maintain that The Ring is the only film that messed with my head. I will never forget the night I watched that..

Its not that scary or even good, it just got under my skin and I felt really weird walking out of the cinema.. I never watched a shock/horror film in the cinema after that.

I have to say I avoid torture porn & the likes of that antichrist movies like the plague

I don't understand the appeal to be honest,

Its all rather sick

Irreversible, probably.

Maybe the uncut edition of A Serbian Film.

Cannibal Holocaust (again, uncut) is a pretty harrowing film.

I agree with the person who said the Ring above. It's not shocking exactly, it just gets under your skin and leaves you in a peculiar state of mind for a time afterwards. A complete psychological mind **** of a movie.

A Clockwork Orange

Looking at it now its very good (and still very shocking).
But the first time I seen it I was young (11 or 12) and the intro scared the **** out of me! I was so scared I had to stop watching once the intro was over!

Shortbus.. you know it's gonna be bad when the opening scene is a guy sucking his own dick.

Good movie though.

By a very very long way, the uncut version of "A Serbian Film". Does the recent clip of a 2 year old Chinese girl being knocked down count?

InkSlinger67 · 19-10-2011 08:32PM

Any film that used the term 'squaw' in the script i.e. any pre-1955 Western referencing American Indians.

Fair point, if you are into film tho, I don't think it's appeal... For me it's about checking out new directors or controversial directors...

escape from the planet of the apes...... the bleakness and abruptness of the last few moments is only made worse when you're watching it in a dark room at 2.40am

Also BBC's Threads; a film for the whole family :P

the whole genre of torture porn sends me running for the hills

and for the likes of von trier, i like his other stuff, but antichrist just sounds way too fcuked up & a try hard attempt at him to be controversial

Sooopie · 19-10-2011 08:39PM

Before the devil knows you're dead

now thats messed up, messed up in a good way though

Irreversible. the fire extinguisher and the rape scene are hard to forget

I was just going to mention Irreversible. Tough.

krudler · 19-10-2011 08:39PM

Threads for me as well, harrowing stuff.

Once Were Warriors has some shocking violence in it, fantastic film but the wifebeating scenes are hard to watch, Tameura Morrisson is amazing in it.

That wasn't bad. Thought it was gonna be very gruseome but was let down. :'(

GetInTheHole! · 19-10-2011 08:42PM

"The Human Centipede" is without doubt the must messed up thing I have ever watched..

The b*astarding thing caught me unawares on the SciFi channel one night and I still feel sick at the thoughts of it...

Cannibal holocaust - 90 minutes of rape, dismemberment, real animal killing and a terrible soundtrack.

I agree with all that apart from the last point. Riz Ortolanis soundtrack is beautiful in parts, the opening theme especially. Dig this:

The most shocking film I've ever seen is either The Men Behind The Sun or Philosophy of a Knife - both of which are based on the same horrible real life events.

"Valhalla Rising" is also prety messed up in places but is still worth a watch all the same..
(if you're into mindless Viking violence that is..)

If you ever read the book, laughing will be the furthest thing from your mind.

Not really as its a pile of crap!!

The

male and female genital mutilation

scenes are pretty shocking though.

That film Grim love about the German lad that ate another German lad's lad is pretty horrible. Not so much shocking, just the whole look and feel of the film would give you the no feeling

coco_lola · 19-10-2011 08:48PM

"Teeth".

Never again. Who honestly came up with a plot for that??

Nil by mouth with Ray Winstone. Haven't watched it in years but it is a shocking and very hard to watch movie.
