What Is The Most Disturbing Film?
Reply to Topic
Sorry if this has been mentioned already, but I've heard about a Japanese horror series called Guinea Pig which is supposed to some seriously sick stuff.
The most disturbing movie that I've seen is Kids. Confronting to say the least.

Very Bad Things (1998) - This movie is an unredeemable peice of garbage. Not funny, not quirky, just trash.
The Pit and the Pendulum (1990) - A whole lot of torture, mental and physical.
Eraserhead (1977) - Some of the most haunting visuals that I'd ever seen.
Day of the Woman (1978) (I Spit on Your Grave) - A woman takes revenge on the five men who brutalized her. Cutting a man's dong off is VERY disturbing to me. At least the water was warm.
Naked Lunch (1991) - A twisted nightmare of insanity. Or is it?

Romance (1999) by Catherine Breillat. Not the most disturbing film perhaps but a good demonstration on how real sex in a non-porn flick can be a real turn off.

They had temporarily escaped the factories, the warehouses, the slaughterhouses, the car washes - they'd be back in captivity the next day but now they were out - they were wild with freedom. They weren't thinking about the slavery of poverty. Or the slavery of welfare and food stamps. The rest of us would be all right until the poor learned how to make atom bombs in their basements.

Call me a sucker, but there are a few scenes in Saving Private Ryan that nearly upset my stomach when I watch them.

Dont you think "Requiem for a Dream" is a way out disturbing movie. Darren Aronofsky is a talent who has to be seen all the way.

the male rape scene in scum is pretty disturbing,
faces of death was disturbing until i found out that most of the parts in it were faked.
the end shooting of that guy in the documentary executions is pretty bad, other than that i must be pretty dull to that kinda thing cos i cant think of anything else...
i saw requiem for a dream, the direction was pretty good, but i just thought it was funny that the girl that was in labrynth was taking one up the a**

I can't believe you just DISSED LED ZEPPELIN!!!!!
Or do you just mean the fantasy parts? I really hope so. I'm 13, so my temper level has just gone down, so if I offend anybody don't take it personally. But, DAHHHHH!

Audition is tame compared to the first ten minutes of Hanzaisha
(Dead Or Alive) or the entire movie Koroshiya 1 (Ichi The Killer).

The choices can be ultra-violent or gory. They can be emotionally harrowing. It can be a movie filled with unsettling images. Anything that shocks your senses.
In all seriousness, I would have to say I haven't seen too many films that have done this to me. Maybe because it takes a lot to shock me, to unnerve me. Many of the films I have seen in this category would be flicks I saw when I was young and impressionable. Here goes:
1) Salem's Lot- this movie scared the pee outta me when I was a mere 11 yrs old.
2) Dead and Buried- see above
3) Dawn of the Dead- although this movie is one of my faves, and I currently see it as an action/adventure flick above all else, this was the first zombie movie I saw. The effects were a little delayed, but I felt them nonetheless upon my first viewing.
4) Bad Lieutenant- just an in your face examination of a man self-destructing within the grip of drugs, gambling, and prostitution.
5) Eraserhead- eerie, eerie, eerie. Strange beyond words, and extremely unsettling.
If I think of any others, I will post them later.
Incidentally, Requiem For a Dream didn't bother me that much. I thought Aranofsky's camera tricks and MTV-style imagery took the sting out of the many heroin shoot-ups during the film. Overall, it was a good film, though. Not great. The spartan brilliance of Thornton would have turned that same premise into an unwatchable nightmare.
Honorable mention: The scene in the newer version of Lord of the Flies, when Piggie gets crushed by the boulder, is extremely disturbing. And very realistic. Does anyone remember that scene?

Lord Of The Flies kind of disturbed me when I was younger. Requiem for a Dream was disturbing to no end...which I think is what was intended. As for Salem's Lot....I thought that movie was just plain ridiculous.
Without a doubt the most disturbing movie I've ever seen is The Pawnbroker with Rod Steiger. I watched this by myself in a theater when I was a teenager. Now I'm 55 years old and can still clearly visualize scenes from this movie. I have no need to see it a second time, yet I consider it one of the best movies ever. I heartily recommend it to anyone who hasn't seen it. But beware, you'll deeply ache.

Yoda... don't bother watching movies like the Relic... read the book, its about 28.91 billion times better, one of my personal faves i might add, hey... that is a good forum topic
Movies that should have stayed books - or at least been done better
