The most disturbing film you have seen?

Yeah that was pretty crazy. Don't normally get affected by films but that one had me stunned for a while afterwards. The lack of dialogue in the second half probably played a part in that.
 
I thought Martyrs was just an all-around good movie, without even having to add "for a horror movie". It was well-directed, well-acted, and reasonably well-written (if not kinda vague).
 
"The War Zone"

I'm surprised this hasn't been mentioned. It's not horror film disturbing -- more Todd Solondz ("Happiness"), difficult, horror of reality disturbing (more so even than Happiness IMO). I found it difficult to get through, even before the brutally straight forward incest scene. It's full of droopy, ugly, depressing English people, and the color palette and locales are relentlessly dreary. There's never any relief, which is reflective of its subject. The film creates a tone of exhausting uneasiness by constantly putting the viewer in the position of reluctant voyeur or an undesired guest during moments of intense and realistic family intimacy or conflict. For example, it shows a naked makeup-less Tilda Swinton nursing with loose post labor uterus skin sagging out, which is reportedly her actual abdomen recently after giving birth.

It's on Netflix Instant now. Looking at the reviews it seems to be angering quite a few morons from the blogger school of criticism who are giving it one star ratings because they didn't enjoy it. I of course didn't enjoy it either (it's a fucking serious film about incest you goddamned philistines!), but I can say it's highly realistic, well-structured and paced, and effective at provoking a response. It's a "good" film, just very much not for everyone, including me. I'm only sort of glad I saw it now that it's over, but I imagine there are plenty of intelligent and perceptive people who will come away with more from it for many different reasons, which to my mind is a better reason to call it "good" than if I had seen it and decided I was looking forward to making some popcorn with friends, getting into my Snuggie, and watching it as part of a genre marathon of family rape flicks during rainy Sundays. In conclusion, fuck y'all trite-ass trashy Netflix review'n mofos.

Some posts have mentioned Freaks from the '30's. It is very weird, and I can see how it could be disturbing, but I liked it. The Wizard of Oz is a childhood favorite, but it is disturbing on a level, definitely. Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas was surprisingly disturbing in a way I don't really understand, but I will never watch it again. Some movies that were frightening to the point of possibly being disturbing: The Ring and Poltergeist 2 (I was surprised this scared me so much) are 2 that come do mind. A Haunting In Connecitcut really terrified me. Movies with psychopathic killers are not really disturbing for me, so much as interesting. I am not a psychopath, but it just doesn't get under my skin. I am sure there are more, but those are a few.
 
I'm looking for new movies

I would like to find some good psychological thrillers like funny games or Sci-fi horror like pandorum movies like cube a clockwork orange stuff like that could I get some help with this.
 
Speaking of autopsies, I remember an episode of HBO's Autopsy (which is a great show, by the way, as the crime scene aspect of it is IMO secondary to solving the mysteries), which showed him actually performing one. A scene I never forgot is the one where the guy's abdomen is open, and the host is calmly using a soup ladle to scoop out his stomach contents into a plastic container on a scale. He's just talking the whole time, noting with only minor interest that the guy had obviously eaten a lot, while spoonful after spoonful of this anonymous chunky liquid goes into the cup. I literally can't believe I watched the whole thing.

Anyways...back to film:

While I consider Strange Days disturbing overall, it's not extremely so, but there is one scene that caused some controversy at the time, and turns my stomach enough to make me chary of watching it again, even though I consider it an underrated masterpiece. The killer leaves a recording of his rape and murder of a key witness, which has to be re-experienced through the "SQUID"; in the course of the replay, Ralph Fiennes' character sees the killer make the victim wear his device, so that she is forced to enjoy her own fear and death through his eyes.
 
I saw an autopsy on YouTube after my ex died. I don't know why I did that. I was in this very bad state of mind and in aw of death. It was surreal to watch.

Very descriptive scenes of rape really disturb me. I don't know why. I guess it's because it really scares me that it might happen to me one day. The rape scene from that movie with Sally Fields where her daughter was raped and killed really left a mark. So did the rape scene with that movie with Barbara Streisand and Nick Nolte (damn I am so bad with names..can't remember either of these movie names).

Faces of Death where the woman got stabbed in the neck and where the live puppy got cut open by the korean to eat really disturbed me.
 
1408 really disturbed me. When The Ring came out I was convinced I would die in seven days, until I saw Ringu, and then read the books... I metaphorically hid under the blankets for a few days, then.

I'm back for more


Imdb- Johnny flees Manchester for London, to avoid a beating from the family of a girl he has raped. There he finds an old girlfriend, and spends some time homeless, spending much of his time ranting at strangers, and meeting characters in plights very much like his own

This film is gunna wreck my tits
 
I think that AntiChrist by Lars Von Triers was defintately one of the most disturbing films I ever saw. Human Centipede II was pretty horrifying as well, mostly due to the ungodly realistic and graphic torture scenes. Oh, and let's not forget KIDS...

Bad Leutenant with Harvey Kietel is pretty fucked, but it has a somewhat redeeming ending.
