The most disturbing film you have seen?

Hands down Irreversible for me - the fire extinguisher scene was bad enough, but the rape scene in it is seriously fucked up. If we're talking about a particular scene the throat cutting scene in Eastern Promises shocked me to the core too
 
It's probably already been mentioned in this thread but Megan is Missing scared the living fuck out of me.... I seriously didn't feel right for days after.

Empire Records (1995)

I don’ t know what to say in reaction to this movie. I feel like my evil older Siamese twin brother was post-natally aborted and I just now have become aware of the stink of his bedraggled corpse behind me. Is this the zeitgeist of 1995? I was alive then, and far younger than the protagonists of this wretched story, but old enough to feel a raped kind of disillusionment in watching it. How could this have been the horrific feel of things in 1995 without my slightest awareness? I must’ve repressed it. I feel zero identification with anything going on in this movie, yet if I had had an older brother to look up to this movie is presented as what was supposed to have been the texture of his abominably dilettantish life. This movie strikes me as the consumed and regurgitated afterbirth of “The Breakfast Club” – or as if the 1980s had miscarried its premier coming of age archetype film and the mutant fetus that is “Empire Records” dragged itself into the mid 90s to die and rot. The stakes for every character are so low, and the atmosphere of it chokes and gags itself on affluent white American teenage self-indulgence. I believe Renee Zellweger may have been meant to be the Anti-Christ but then Satan said “fuck it, this is too sick” and cast the husk of her into oblivion along with this film and only now have I discovered her again this night in the bowels of my red nightmare. May I wake up tomorrow to find that’s all it was …

send that review to mags and papers that was brilliantly written a mag wud snap dat up even just for comedy of the review....fairplay to u
 
Heh, I appreciate the nod eireann, but yeah what alasdairm said. I watched Empire Records while downing whiskey and stuffing methoxetamine up my butt and it all made for one nasty cocktail. That review spewed out of me like the vomit of consciousness -- more of a cathartic release than anything else. I dropped it in this thread only half joking.
 
I'm not trying to get on anyone's case, but........ I read through this thread, and I kept seeing Megan is Missing, mentioned over and over again. I watched it the other night expecting to be haunted by what I saw.
I could barely make it through the movie, cause it was so..... Stupid.
The end was gratuitous, and unnecessary(one scene in particular.) During the rest of the movie, I felt like I was watching somebodies art class project.
I know different things scare different people, etc, etc. I was just amazed.

I didn't find it scary just disturbing.

I hear ya. I just assumed you were noting the obvious about the date of the atrocious thing -- nothing more or less. At this point in the thread most of the big names have been dropped already so we might as well come at it with the stuff that's disturbing in less obvious ways and have fun with it. Empire Records disturbed me because of what it says about the culture that manufactured and consumed it. Like I said, I was only half joking about posting it here.
 
Yeah, I don't really know what it was about Megan is Missing... it scared me, but I also hadn't heard anything about it beforehand... usually whenever someone has told me something is going to be majorly scary in advance I end up expecting way too much and being let down.

But yeah, something about the pictures.... no soundtrack or anything, just cold, silent flashing of those pics... it leaves so much to your imagination to think about what Megan went through before the bastard finally killed her. I'm always a fan if subtly in horror...suspense and leaving things to the mind, I think it's so much more powerful than in-your-face torture scenes...

It would have been an okay movie without the pics, and the end sequence was pretty powerful as well but overall it was those three seconds of showing those pics that made this movie stay with me...
 
^I completely agree that, with a few exceptions, what makes a good horror film is what you don't see. What's left up to the imagination.
I don't know. Maybe I've seen too much S&M shit. The thought that stuck in my mind during a good portion of the last 10 or so minutes was, "That guy has no fucking idea how to dig a hole."
 
Anybody seen the movie Snowtown? There's a particular torture/strangulation scene which to me was very fucked up. Of course, Irreversible is also pretty damn disturbing.
 
I actually thought The Human Centipede was a lot more disturbing in retrospect than I did while watching it...not so much because of the storyline or the visual effects, but because with the way it's presented I think it's pretty obviously a really fucked up fetish movie for the guy who made it. There is so much loving attention to the degradation of women in that movie that I really felt kind of unclean afterwards.

Also, a really AMAZING French film called Martyrs was a very uncomfortable and disturbing experience to sit through, but unlike the misogynistic scat porn of Human Centipede, it was also a valuable experience. Interestingly, the whole premise of Martyrs relies on torturing women to work, but I think the difference is it is presented as a valid and necessary part of the plot, at no point do you get the feeling the director was jacking off at his cast and audience's expense. There is heaps of nudity in it, but it is never once presented in a sexual way, which I think makes you see the violence more for what it is, and not just as a form of entertainment.

Me and my housemate were talking about Martyrs for weeks after we'd seen it. I highly recommend it, but it's pretty intense...my housemate's brother couldn't make it through more than the first 20 minutes.
