Most Disturbing Film

In no particular order
- 8mm
-lady in the cage
-texas chainsaw the begining
-i stand alone

When I saw the thread title, I first thought of "I spit on your grave"..

"The Exorcist" hmm I remember being in a different room, and the audio alone had me feeling frantic and physically ill.

I didnt see anyone add the Evil Dead's both were pretty gory and scary to me.

Oh, well the movies.. "The Hills Have Eyes", "Hostel", and "Texas Chainsaw Massacre" would have to be the most disgusting films of all time.

Very disturbing stuff, wouldn't "eat" while watching these movies.

Arlington Road was a pretty disturbing film. But mine is Requiem for a Dream. I like the movie, but the ending is just soooooo depressing it's unreal. Everyone ends up screwed in one way or another.

August Underground's Mordum.

It's the sickest piece of filth ever made. I'll apologize in advance for even bringing it to light if you've never heard of it.

Please, in all honesty, don't watch it.

OMG! I have been on a mission to find a film that would scare the crap out of me, and to this day i've not found one.

The above film though, i've never been down that route of film types and after watching just a review of it on Youtube, i know i could not even bring myself to watch it.

That is some disturbing stuff indeed. I have two small daughters too so i know for a fact that i couldn't watch it.

So onwards with my search for the scariest film.....

The most disturbing movie is...Naw...I won't tell. Trust me, it is much better if you never ever learn about it.

You can not unsee what you have seen.

I wish I could unsee what I have seen.

If I consider the definition of "disturbing" to mean that it creeped me out and left me, for weeks, unable to even enter a room that wasn't lit (especially hallways) it'd have to be the original "The Shining"

That kid on his big wheel coming around the corner into those twin girls....

What is it about hallways lol

I must have watched far too many a scary movie as a kid because i get that same feeling now even walking to the bathroom at night down the hallway.

The Killing Room!

I saw that movie and it gave me the creeps more than any movie out there. It was on Mk-Ultra type programs which I read a lot about. The fact that this probably actually goes on really freaked me out. I will never volunteer for anything with any govt where I have to go in a room!

This, and 3 guys 1 hammer

The most disturbing and disgusting movie I have ever seen (and trust me, I have seen a lot of movies) is Salò o le 120 giornate di Sodoma (Salo, or the 120 Days of Sodom) by Pier Paolo Pasolini. It has some of the most revolting scenes I have ever witnessed in a film by anyone.

www.imdb.com...

It makes the movie Pink Flamingos look like a child's movie.

Isn't that based off a book, from some random french author, living in the 1700s???

I'd have to say, the movies now at the tip of my tongue were:
1. Wolf's Creek.
No comparison. Very disturbing psycho-thriller from Australia.
2. Shooting Dogs (aka in the US "Beyond the Gates")
3. Hotel Rwanda
4. The Killing Fields

Living in Africa and sometimes witnessing the mob behaviour, the second and third movies about the Rwanda genocide scare the living daylights out of me.
Disturbing how masses of unarmed people hid behind UN soldiers who had to leave, because the world wasn't sure whether to label it a "genocide".
The Hutus stood outside the gates with their machetes, and the Tutsis inside begged the UN soldiers to shoot them as they withdrew - at least their kids and babies, because it would be less painful than being chopped to pieces alive. Imagine knowing that your fate will be so terrible that you beg soldiers to shoot your children. The worst is, it's based on fact and doesn't even show the worst of it.

When I first saw the one Rwanda movie (Shooting Dogs being slightly better), the newspaper carried a story of a Rwandan who witnessed the death of his friend who just got his MA. The mob said: "We want to see what the brain of somebody with an MA looks like", and they opened his skull with a machete. Then they decapitated him and the machete wielding 13-year-olds were playing football with his head.

The Exorcist.

One Dark Night

Bad Boy Bubby - (I am pretty sure this was banned in Australia for a while. Very sick and twisted)

Arachnaphobia (dont laugh!)

Most disturbing for me was Open Water, a 2003 low-budget independent movie. It was based on the true story of two (husband and wife) scuba divers accidentally stranded in shark infested waters after their tour boat has left.

There was no need for special effects or high tech visual enhancements -- this movie was merely psychological in its impact. As the situation faced by the couple became more and more hopeless, the viewer couldn't help but be dragged along for the 'swim'.

I guess what shocked and disturbed me the most was that after being psychologically tortured (the viewer, that is) for the duration of the film, the conclusion departed from the usual last-second-miraculous-rescue and the main characters both died.

The movie haunted me for a few days afterward.

The movie Salo was based on true events during the reign of Benito Mussolini. It deals with a group of wealthy people who spend most of their time abusing young people in the most hideous ways. Al Goldstein of porn magazine fame called it the most disgusting perverted films he had ever seen. That should tell you it is not a film for the meek and weak stomached.

Well it sounds very similar to a book of the same name, from 1785 France by Maquis de Sade

en.wikipedia.org...

My responses are so sad. LOL

Scariest: The Ring


I had a large screen at the time, I was freaked out for days.

Goriest, Freddy Krueger 3 made me want to throw up. But I was 11.The scene with the kid's veins being used as puppet strings. Blech
