Yup, I'd definitely categorize
The Pianist in that category. For all kinds of complex reasons that I won't elaborate on, I refused to see Passion of the Christ.

I'd say Visitor Q but that still wasn't too disturbing, I think finding that movie so funny and awesome is just when I realized I was probably messed up and that disturbed me a bit. Visitor Q only beats out Cannibal Holocaust because cannibals would act the way they did in CH so it seemed normal (I watched that eating a plate of spaghetti. lol). Visitor Q was more disturbing cause it showed just how low the human can go. Strange Circus could probably disturb people too, not as bad as Visitor Q but I thought SC was a better film.

1. cannibal holocaust
2. kids

I can think of a few short films that are disturbing.
The Salad Fingers Series by David Firth. He's also done a couple of other things I believe he did a film called Hell that was messed up too.

Full length movies, I'm going to go with:
Requiem for a Dream
High Tension
The DaVinci Code (Tom Hanks with that hair cut messed my world up for weeks)

The book for American Psycho is more disturbing than the movie

I agree. I will never watch Hostel again. It was way too gory for me. I don't even plan on seeing the second one.

I didn't think hostel was that gory. They really didn't show anything too disgusting. Dead Alive almost made my old roommate throw up.

Requiem For A Dream was pretty rough to take especially at the end. Another tough movie well more a tough scene was in Sophie's Choice where the mother had to choose between her children. Now that is tough.

It's a double bill of Hideo Nakata for me. The original Ringu and Dark Water. Pretty damn intense scenes in both those movies, especially the endings. Steer clear of the remakes though, they suck hard.

p.s. I still get disturbing flashbacks from mistakingly seeing Date Movie

I remember watching The Exorcism of Emile Rose in the cinema a few years ago and for some reason it just complety unsettled me. I also found the ring to be quite disturbing as well as The Magdalen Laundry. I found it hard to fathom that such terrible crulties could take place in my home country less than fifty years ago and supposedly all in the name of God

"The hostel" was not the a great movie...

but the idea of rich dudes wanting to cut people up... was terrible and very disturbing for me

Hairspray...any movie where John Travolta dresses up as a fat woman is disturbing to me.

Gummo. Easily the most disturbing jawdropping creepiness since the first haunted double wide trailer.

Bright light. Bright light. Uh oh.

I find Gummo disturbing because I believe it's a joke, It's a way for somebody to do whatever they want, never explain it, and somehow still get self-approval. Film has never been so self-aggrandizing before the recent Internet explosion. That's one of the reasons I believe myself to be worth paying attention to. ANYONE can say what they want about ANYTHING. I still hope and pray that people actually pay some kind of attention to the people who proffer their opinions and can tell if one is more relevant than another. I realize that it may be too much to ask, but it's always worked before for me.

It's basically a retelling of fact - I can't remember the name exactly but it's called "Sisters" or something, and they made it look all sexy in the video store. Old flick, made in the 80s or something. British, I do believe.

Basically, it's the late 1800s or some such, early 1900s. Turn of the century. Two sisters, very poor, must work and give all their money to care for their mother. The premise is class structure - how dehumanized and tortured the working/lower classes were by the upper classes. You see this basically affect the two young women. The video made it sexy because they were trying sell it I guess - the sisters are incestual at one point, but it's not even a focus of the movie.

The end is very intense and f*cking freaked my mind. I don't even want to tell you, it was just - so unexpected, and so WRONG, and so real and so scary and ... the terrible thing is, the entire story is TRUE.

I have seen this ... it is called Sister, My Sister ... and yes it is a bit disturbing. I love the younger actress in it though ... Jodhi May. A better movie to see her in is Tipping the Velvet

I agree about Gummo ... another one for me is Oldboy, hard to sit through, but really good story.
