Splice, for some reason.
Kids. Saw it years ago. No interest in ever setting it again.
Have to think about this for a second…
The Cell?
Red band trailer… (it’s the bit with the horse):
Requiem For a Dream?
Fight Club?
Salo, or the 120 Days of Sodom
Requiem for a Dream is an incredibly powerful film that is worth watching once, then never again.
A Serbian Film, but I don’t really remember it now. Oh, and the masturbation short film in the ABCs of Death.
I Spit On Your Grave was dark as fuck, Them, and something about an Australian road train that drove itself. I think it might have been called Road Train. It was very weird.
It was, in fact, called Road Train. I enjoyed that one.
The Room, easily.
Oh hi Mark!
It’s bullshit. *nonchalantly and no situational awareness, tosses a water bottle in a random direction. **random offscreen voice “Ow! Hey!”
It’s pretty funny at times 😄 but the cringe… It’s not worth it. It wasn’t worth it. At least not during. It’s pretty fun to have the reference with my buddies and wife, lol.
Napoleon Dynamite was definitely like this for me. Watching it was fine, and funny even. But quoting it after the fact with my friends? Fucking hilarious.
This one kind of annoys me. It turns out NP is really a thing for its time, unlike Blazing Saddles or Airplane. I would use sound clips from NP during my early streams if they fit the context. Now? The references are too dated in that they point to a culture that just doesn’t exist in that form anymore. The setting, sure, but the vocabulary and the inside jokes sail over most people’s heads these days. Which I think kinda sucks because Napoleon Dynamite is a great slow low budget quiet comedy about nothing interesting.
I’ve seen most of the movies mentioned here 🫠
IMHO, A Serbian Film and Human Centipede 2 have some of the most disturbing scenes I’ve ever seen. Realizing that they are made for shock value kind of make them laughable though.
SALO is often mentioned in lists of fucked up movies, but it’s really not much. There’s some poop eating, light rape and someone’s tongue is pulled/cut out. It might have been shocking back in the day.
Irreversible made me feel nauseous and had an unsettling feeling from start to end. (Made me vary about Climax, which kind of have a similar feel, but is only fucked up to a much smaller degree). That one for too long scene that just foes on forever makes it the most disturbing film I have ever watched.
Heriditary has some fucked up scenes too and truly scared me. (But Midsommar bearly made an impression on me. Bearly).
Requiem for a Dream made me feel bad about drugs.
Bone Tomahawk kind of seems like an average action/adventurish movie in a western setting until… stuff happens.
Also worth a mention are Martyrs, Ôdishon, The Woman, Inside, The Girl Next Door (not the comedy) and either versions of Funny Games.
May have forgotten some.
(I have no plans to watch any of the Terrifier movies).
Edit: Totally forgot The Heart is Deceitful Above All Things somehow. Man, that is one fucked up movie. “Play with me Daddy”.
I’d love to compare lists of (potentially) disturbing movies. Feel free to message me if you’d like.
Also the first Terrifier (although called something else I think?) was shitty (in my opinion) and I didn’t finish it. Haven’t tried the others.
Edit: Sorry everyone, as someone below pointed out, the above opinion is based on “all hallows eve” not Terrifier 1. My mistake. I’m gonna give both another try though.
Apparently Terrifier 2 is much better, still mostly shit, but has some of the best gore in any horror movie.
Definitely gonna watch that and 1. Apparently I was mistaken in my original comment, my opinion was based on “all hallows eve” and not Terrifier 1. I will watch both again. Love that horror movie gore that’s over the top.
I found Terrifier and its sequel to be pretty good for what it is. A violent modern take on the classic slasher movies. It’s schlocky, but that’s because slasher movies are a bit schlocky.
The actor does a great job hamming it up and making it all a bit more than a classic slasher, too, entertainment wise. If he tried to play it more serious scary clown style, it’d probably have faceplanted for me.
Yeah. I don’t think I gave it a good try. After your, and another’s comments. I’ll give it a fair try at some point soon.
Honestly, I would skip straight to Terrifier 2. It’s a much more polished film with developed characters than Terrifier 1, and you’d only have missed details about a minor side character who was also in the first movie. If you like 2, you can go back and watch Terrifier 1 (and All Hallows Eve, even though that one hardly counts as a movie or a Terrifier movie).
I think I just watched (some or most of) all hallows eve. Not actually Terrifier 1. That’s where all my previous statements came from. Gonna have to edit those now.
Either way, I’ll give 1 a try because I do love shitty horror movies. Like the good shitty type. Thanks for clearing that up for me.
It’s great, IF you really love that old, low-budget, late-80s horror. It’s a love-letter to classic slasher films, just like Kill Bill was a tribute to Hong Kong martial arts films and Japanese chanbara. If you don’t like the source material, you’re probably not going to like them.
Good point. It was quite a while ago and didn’t really approach it from that angle. With all the sequels, I should try the first again.
It’s complete schlock. But it’s fun schlock.
I do like that. Also my original comment was based on “all hallows eve” which someone pointed out. My fault. I’m gonna give both another try though.
I’ve watched most of them as well, and Irreversible was the worst for me, somehow, even though its subject matter isn’t really as bad as some of the others.
The way too long and hyper realistic R scene is definitely a big part of it, but the movie also assaults you subconsciously throughout the whole thing. The soundtrack is full of low frequencies that are known to give people nausea and anxiety, and the constant strobe lights also just make it hard to even sit through the quiet scenes.
It is a punishing watch. Wouldn’t want to watch it again.
The Hills Have Eyes
Original, remake, or both?
I’m awful with horror and I thought the remake was cheesy as fuck. I don’t remember feeling unnerved when I watched it.
Ah. Fair enough. I remember seeing the remake in theaters (not seeing the original) and being pretty disturbed afterwards (CONTENT WARNING: SA…The rape scene is what did it). Although after all the other shit I’ve watched, I guess it’s not as disturbing anymore.
I watched a lot of movies when there was a cheap rental place nearby. I remember finally watching the hills have eyes and thought that was exceptionally bad. Just bad as in not good in any way or form. So of course I watched the second one and it was worse. And I had to watch the remake, because maybe they decided to make a better one. No, even worse.
There might be one worse film I’ve seen in my life which I just picked up for the cover from the same place. Not sure what it was but essentially nothing happened in it. Looked it up on IMDb and it was about two stars. Wasn’t surprised.
Haven’t thought of a disturbing one yet. It’s an interesting question.
I remember those days of cheap rental places you could walk to. Good times.
I’ve only seen the remake, didn’t think the old ones would be that bad. Good to know.
What was the 2 stars one called?
I wish I remembered. Could have a look at what the bottom of the list looks like these days.
Do you have a physical list? I wish I still had one.
Schindler’s List. Nah huh not gonna see that movie again. It was more than 10 years ago I saw that one. That moment where the little girl comes up in color I cracked like a baby for half an hour. I still remember and think about that scene to this day.
