What Is The Most Disturbing Film?

Tools    





Irreversible's rape scene is made doubly horrifying due to the unecessary and over-the-top brand of violence. I mean, kicking in the face of the rape victim?

Threads-1984

It is the mid-1980's, during the Cold War. Ruth Beckett & Jimmy Kemp, residents of the town of Sheffield, England, are planning for their upcoming marriage and birth of their first child. Sheffield is home to a major R.A.F. base and has a major industrial base of steel, energy & chemical production. But the Soviet Union marches troops into Iran, in a plan to convert it to a Soviet satellite state. The United States, Great Britain, and other members of NATO and the U.N. angrily condemn the Soviet aggression and military activity in England starts to mount, especially at the nearby R.A.F. base. The families of Ruth & Jimmy go about their daily business, paying little attention to what is going on in Iran. One spring day, without warning, the Soviet Union attacks England with ICBMs - two of which hit Sheffield, annihilating most of the city and its inhabitants. But what is even more horrifying is the aftermath that follows - a world without public order, clean food, water, electricity, or the ability to produce any of them. Ruth struggles for more than 10 years just to stay alive in this horrible, barren, radioactive homeland...
Even though it's a BBC documentary this film is shocking. I only saw it this afternoon for the first time and some of the images and ideas will stay with me for years. Hopefully the world is wise enough these days to never allow this to happen, because I'd rather die than have to live in the aftermath shown here.

No one is safe.



Now that i've seen Santa Sangre by Jodorowsky i have to say it's disturbing, and the ending was so unexpected, i mean.. for the one who seen it, that's just too real to fit in the movie, but it's great for that reason, i guess in my humble opinion.



The ring-really disturbing images....the first time i watched it i nearly peed on myself the grudge-all of the above and more man its just downright creepy i mean a dead woman in the attic...*shudders* ju-on(japanese grudge)-all of the above

Another disturbing film I just remembered when trying to come up with my top 100 movies (don't know if this one will make the cut...)

The War Zone

Really disturbing, the more so because there is a grubby, realistic feel to the film. Ray Winstone is scary.



The Grudge.. =D it is my favorite movie of all time, but still it is a little disturbing. C'mon, all horror movies are disturbing! Well I would have to say Ju-On for tops. Ju-On made me avoid sleeping for three days, yet I still love the movie.

I always find rape in movies disturbing especially those where it is obviously intended to titilate the audience.

On the subject of movies featuring rape ... Angel Guts: High School Coed is pretty disturbing.

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.



House of Yes. Very weird and disturbing.



City of God I agree, 5 year olds kids making death lists? Whoa, and the fact it's true makes it double

Alot of liberties were taken with the dialogue, that even in the end of the movie most likely did not happen.

And lil dice's mass hotel murder scene was only inferred to be true, and it was bragged as such by lil ze, but several things do not fit with what happened on the night.

So "true" would be a little bit of a hyperbolic overstatement.

While the dialogue is, of course, not word for word fact, it is based on a true story and that young children fought and died in these drug wars is indisputable.



In the 70's it was Jaws, in the 80's, it was disco , in the 90's it was 7 Deadly sins (I think that's what it was called).

Today?...it is SAW and the sequel SAW2(yet to come out).

These are very disturbing films that deal with torture chambers.

Don't believe me? Then check out the movie trailer: SAW 2 movie trailer

This film will do very well. Admit it...we are all very disturbed!

However scary the trailer may be, it is jumping the gun a bit to name an unreleased sequel as one of the most disturbing films you have ever seen. For all you know it may feature singing nuns and cuddly orphans adopting stray kittens while whistling a merry tune.



I'd have to say Irreversible due to the rape scene and then it's a tie between Jim Carrey/Marlon Wayans in Earth Girls Are Easy and Tim Curry in Rocky Horror Picture Show.
