"Funny Games".

"Martyrs" Whoever made that film is fucked up....period

What has been seen cannot be unseen.

Reality provides more disturbing cinema than imaginations have been able to make us believe. It's hard for me to watch a "movie" and get disturbed by it because in the end I know it's fake.

Good call on Requiem for a Dream, great movie but it was pretty weird. Clockwork Orange is the other movie that comes to mind, that movie is a real wtf

To this day, I can't/won't watch Event Horizon. My college roommate and I decided to watch it really late at night on the dorm movie channel. That was a big mistake.

Irreversible is an Italian film and it is the most disturbing film you will ever see IMO. Salo is more campy and cartoonish, but Irreversible is so realistic in its portrayal of violence it will stay with you for weeks. You cannot even compare a movie like Human Centipede to Irreversible, one is meant to be shocking and almost comical, the other is meant to be the most realistic and brutal portrayal of violence even seen on the screen.

Do not see Irreversible!!!! It is that bad, it is sick, there is nothing fake looking about the violence, it just makes your stomach turn.

I thought Martyrs was a great movie. The violence was bad, but it was part of the film, I think it evokes deep emotions in people when a woman is getting beat over and over like she was at the end of the film after she got captured. It was more difficult for me to watch the beatings than when they skinned her, but this was a good movie IMO.

Has anyone seen the David Fincher film Zodiac (2007). It's far from the most disturbing film of all time, but there are several scenes worthy of the title.

One scene that really stuck out to me was when the young mother was driving with her baby at night. She's tailed by a stranger who claims that one of her wheels had become loose. She thanks him as he fixes her tire. When she turns the car on again she notices that her wheels are even worse and about to fall off. When she stops for the second time, he pulls over as well and offers her a ride. Amazingly, she agrees.

Then the dialogue goes something like this:

Zodiac killer: Ma'am, do you mind rolling down your window?

Woman: Why?

Zodiac killer: Before I kill you, I'm going to throw your baby out the window.

Um, of course. But every film ever made take its liberties with dialogue, etc...

Fact vs. Fincher

I agree, this was very unsettling. Especially how Tim Roth's character just kind of gives up before his wife (Naomi Watts). Made me feel really vulnerable about projecting myself in his shoes and having to protect a family......very unsettling

Then you should (or shouldn't) see Henry - Portrait of a Serial Killer. The home invasion scene itself is terrifying, and the entire movie is disturbing. My wife was mad when she "caught" me watching it.

A Clockwork Orange

Kids is pretty wild
