The Most Disturbing Films You've Seen

    Tell us more.

    Tokyo drug dealer gets killed, spends entire film in an out of body experience. Very surreal, sexual, and violent. Overall a very weird and effed up flick. Opening credits

    First 11 minutes: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YGCzq5BRcI4&feature=related

    I happened upon the movie when I read there was debate that Kayne West's "All of the Lights" music video was plagarizing the opening credits in this movie. Seemed fucked up enough for me to get into so I watched the rest of it.

    Here are the opening credits of the movie (Start from about 1:08 unless you have epilepsy): http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dL0lNGXoP8E

    Here is Kayne's video (Again, start at 1:08 unless you have epilepsy):

  • Just watched Happiness (if not for this board, I never would have known about this movie..and I fancy myself quite a film purist/aficionado).

    Absolutely unbelievable.

  • Run Bitch Run
    I don't know after having watched the trailer if this movie will be disturbing or downright hilarious. It is on netflix and in my queue.

    Just awful.

    If your answer is other than "A Serbian Film," then you haven't seen "A Serbian Film."

    Personally I found "A Serbian Film" to be overhyped.

  • There is terrific insight in this thread with many great recommendations, but The Seventh Continent was awful. I get what it was trying to deliver - a mundane, repetitive and boring life leads to a methodical [censor / spoiler]...I guess it did deliver but I find myself more pissed that I sat through that steaming pile of garbage as opposed to thinking of the story line and movie.

    One of the few movies recommended in this thread I really see no point in watching.

  • "On the Beach" is an older, but mostly realistic film that makes you realize that with all the nuclear weapons in this world, one day they could be used. The consequences would be devastating.

    What is that, a Titleist? A hole in one...

    The movie was a hard slog, sure, but I was shocked, revolted and ultimately disturbed by the ending, I found myself thinking about it for weeks after I saw it. That it was taken from a real news item Haneke read in the paper makes it even more potent for me.

    Not a movie I'll rewatch anytime soon, but I think Haneke achieved what he set out to do.

    I don't disagree he achieved what he wanted, but I am not sure how anyone could be emotionally vested in the characters to be disturbed or revolted,

  • Nice bump. "Of Mice and Men" is pretty disturbing (for me).

    I kind of felt the mother's pain (when she breaks down in the car wash) and the little girl who was starved for attention.

    The dad, however, was just so far gone from being saved that it was a little chilling.

    Such a strange story.

    The first 13:40 of The Hitcher is why I love cinema.

    26 years later, it just keeps getting better and better.

    I clicked this link this morning expecting just the clip and I ended up watching the whole movie at 8:30AM. lol upset

    Rutger Hauer as John Ryder is just as indescribably creepy and unsettling after multiple viewings. Strangely, with as many times as I have watched this movie, today was the first time I sensed a homosexual vibe between Jim and John. Made it all the more unnerving.

    Sam Elliott (the mustachioed narrator from The Big Lebowski) auditioned for the part of John Ryder and apparently scared the living shit out of the crew. He was offered the role, but for reasons unknown declined in the 11th hour.

    The vibe between Jim and John is what lifts the movie from mere thriller to something more ambiguous, lasting and compelling. Hauer has described the film as a "fairy tale in the desert." At the end of the film, when Jim shoots Ryder, he walks over to his corpse and caresses his hair with the gun. It's almost a way of saying, "thank you."

  • Open Water is the story of two divers left at sea. For whatever reason, I felt very uncomfortable during the entire film.
    It wasn't a great film. The acting wasn't great. But just the thought of it happening was very disturbing.

    Then there's the first 30 minutes of Saving Private Ryan, plus all of the death scenes, which seemed to capture the humanity of the moment. Very intense for me.

  • So I'm watching The Killer Inside Me and I gotta say it shot right up the disturbing meter.

    Casey Affleck's character absolutely beats the living shit out of Jessica Alba. Really hard to watch.

    Great movie and yeah, that scene is ridiculously realistic. Affleck is the perfect, quiet, psychopath.

    Read the book by Jim Thompson if you get the chance.

  • I don't think it's on the level of the other films listed in this thread, but Bug was pretty fucked up. You get to see Ashley Judd topless though.

  • I saw "Clockwork Orange" and could not watch it in Wells Hall once. It was horrible.

  • Funny Games is pretty difficult to watch... unless you are a sadist.

    I bought some batteries, but they weren't included... so I had to buy them again. What do batteries run on?

  • In the company of men was pretty messed up. So was Happiness. I can't remember if those were already mentioned in this thread.

  • Just watched, 'The Girl Next Door'. Ugh, it isn't one of those films that is full of gore, but how could society allow something like that to happen. Maybe it hits me harder because I have a daughter now, but holy shit, just fucked up at times. Tough movie, wish there was some resolution or a 'what happened' at the end.
