What are your most DISTURBING Movies?

[Loyal]

Mac's other thread with the most watchable movies listed needed a companion thread. Namely, list your most disturbingly unwatchable movies. Not really going after a list of unwatchably bad movies, but those movies which freaked you the fu@& out!
1. Fatal Attraction- Number one on the list for me. The character that Glenn Close played was disturbingly different than the soft, caring character that she played on the Big Chill. She is the worst nightmare for a married guy who fools around, which in this case was a psycho that wouldn't be "ignored" by Michael Douglas' hoped for one-night-stand. This movie scared the shyte out of men in the 80's.
2. Wolf Creek- Wow, this movie was hard to take also...It's an Australian made/based movie in the Australian Outback. A serial killer lures in sympathetic vulnerable people who are the main characters, but it doesn't take long to know that the people you think normally make it out alive in normal horror flicks, don't in this one.
3. The Ring- I used to be a big horror movie lover, and I can normally separate in my mind scary movies from the truly I-can't-watch-it-again response. Something about this movie creeps me out, as the little dead girl moves out of the well in unnatural movements toward her victims.
4. The Passion of the Christ- Disturbing to see the way Jesus was actually tortured and later crucified. Not for the weak of heart. No mas.
5. Super Bowl 36- This isn't a movie of course, but it was the most disturbing sport's moment for me and it's not close. This team was probably the best Ram's team I have ever seen, and should have beaten that Patriots team for a lot of different reasons. I felt like that whole fabulous season was stolen from me, and it is now treated like the crazy aunt in the attic that no one talks about. Max Q is a phrase that is never mentioned, when it was the signature thought that season...I can't watch the tape of that game.

This list is much smaller list than the other for me, because I normally can handle movie horror magic, but not with this list...

Midnight Meat Train - Loved it for its gruesome laugh out loud gore but it is truly disturbing.

The day of the Locust. I saw this movie many years ago. I have always been a horror fan blood, guts , slashem up hackem up no problem. But I remember this film just as being very dark not a horror film just dark and bleak. And one scene I believe one of the the final scenes. A character played by Donald Sutherland stomps a child to death and does so gleefully. I don't know why but that scene affected me profoundly. I never watched it again and don't intend to.

might be the most depressing movie i've ever seen from start to finish

 

[Farr Be It]

Gotta go with Fargo.

Also Passion of the Christ. But if Jesus could do that for me, I had to see it to gain an appreciation. Crucifixion was a pretty agonizing death penalty. The Romans used it quite a bit. They Just cranked it up a few notches on the Savior.

The Fly with Jeff Goldblum, not the original.

The scenes where he vomits on his food and the guys ankle turned my stomach for some reason.

I went to see the movie with a friend that I used to chase ladies with on a night we were taking off. I couldn't eat when we went out later and told him why.

One a few occasions he said "hey remember The Fly............................ummmm, are you gonna eat those wings?"

We used to go out for wings a lot LOL.

Jaws.
Watched it when I was a kid, maybe 9.
At that age it messed me up.
A complete sense of helplessness.
I don't like small boats and piers.
Flying over water leaves me a bit anxious.

Thanks, Jaws.
But it's such a great film. One of my favourites of all time.

 

[Memento]

Has to be MIRRORS. I honestly couldn't look in a mirror for a year after watching that movie.

Spoiler: Open at your own risk

8mm with Nicholas Cage. Some of the scenes made my skin crawl and that was even before I became a parent.

Looks like such a family movie...lol..:headexplosion:

Most disturbing -- there are two that instantly come to mind from my film school days.


Don't Look Know

Okay this movie is genius but will frighten and disturb you for the rest of your day if not life. Julie Christie is my favorite actress / turn on ever and she and Donald Sutherland have the gnarliest sex scene ever (rumored they actually bones down) so for that reason it was on my must watch list -- but it is dark-- check out the trailer:

Prick Up Your Ears

Love Gary Oldman - especially back in the 90's when he was totally hardcore and not playing Winston Churchill so I picked this up in VHS with a stack of others - fucking disturbing. It starts out really compelling then takes some dark dark dark disturbing turns:

[RhodyRams]

All the Paranormal movies

have to watch shit like that at 10:00 in the morning so by the time I hit the rack, it's all out of my mind

 

[HellRam]

The first time I saw The Six Sense. I was younger but it gave me the chills, even as a adult. I think it was the movies realism aspect that got me. Majority of horror/scary movies are over the top, which make them feel less reality based. Most everyone has been alone and thought they've seen something in the corner of their eye. The Sixth Sense has that feel.

Also....Fargo kick's ass. Don't ask me me why.

 

[Force16X]

Sid and Nancy.

 

[UKram]

hard candy was quite dark

 

[snackdaddy]

The Exorcist is pretty much like a lot of movies now. But at the time it was very disturbing. Don't know why but I get a kick outta the Supernatural series. Dean's a crack up. A man whore and chow hound while battling demons and other monsters. Couldn't rate it as disturbing though. Just a fun show.

 

[HeiseNBerg]

8mm with Nicholas Cage. Some of the scenes made my skin crawl and that was even before I became a parent.

hard candy was quite dark

Agree completely on both of these, and one viewing for each was enough.
