Way OT: Most disturbing movie you have ever watched?

After I finished grad school in Chapel Hill I was dating someone in Raleigh but had no job. So I rented a room on the cheap from some old lady in her big mansion in Holly Springs. She refused to turn on her A/C so staying there during the day was not an option. I sort of had two choices to survive, gym or movie theater. So some days I would just go to the gym and slowly workout all afternoon. Other days I would go to the theater around noon then just watch one movie, then sneak into the next theater, so on and so forth. Well one of those movies was Dumb and Dumberer. Think I lasted about 15 minutes. It was very disturbing(ly) bad.

In the Mouth of Madness Salem’s Lot ...eh, turned both off.

Cannibal:the musical is worth a watch. A lot of the truly disturbing movies have already been mentioned. Love me some deliverance and Texas Chainsaw massacre. Schindler's list was an eye opening one for me.

Dear Zachary.

It's short, but completely terrifying!

Dear Zachary. It is a documentary, but it is so profoundly sad.

'Happiness,' without a doubt. I don't recomend it to anyone. 

Irreversible

is on there...Mum & Dad (2008) is a horror flick with a scene of dad "enjoying" a human heart he just cut out. I'll never forget that scene. 

Saw was gruesome...had to look away. Supernatural movies spook me most, so those would be it for me. 

 

"Izzo Press Conference"

That documentary called Get Out

Angels with Filthy Souls

Teeth.

Granted it's not necessarily "disturbing" or a movie but if you're missing some anxiety from your life, there's a few episodes that will do the trick.

The scene where McDowell beats the crap out of the guy while “Singing in the Rain” plays and he sort of intermittently dances to it is one disturbing piece of cinema.

Some have been mentioned already here but mine would be:

House of 1000 Corpses.  Antichrist.  Human Centipede.  Henry: Portrait of A Serial Killer.  The 1st Faces of Death movie. Deliverance.  Kids was another movie that kinda messed me up. 

I know I'm missing some others but probably best not to revisit.

Add Sun Choke to that list.

One of the most disturbing movies I've seen in a while. Think it's still up on netflix.

I reserve the right to change my answer once Paterno comes out

A Clockwork Orange

1. Episode 6 of the "Dirty Money" documentaries currently on Netflix - "The Confidence Man"

2. Requiem for a Dream - just see it, but hard to watch

3. Audition - about a japanese model/actress that goes on a revenge binge against men that try to abuse her - "Kiri Kiri Kiri"

4. Deliverance - nuff said

2 Girls, 1 Cup

i watched the original nightmare on elm street when i was around 8 or so. i was away from home at basketball tournament and staying in a military barracks in korea (we lived there at the time). i was so terrified i couldn’t fall asleep either night. fun times

I haven't watched many horror movies or dark movies, to be honest. Obviously, there is a huge market for these. My meta question is the attraction to these movies. Obviously, there is something very attractive to both the autuer and the viewer. But for the life of me, I am not there. I really get no satisfaction or pleasure in watching the torture of others, or in watching depictions of wanton cruelty.

I watched "The Road," which is probably more redeeming then many of the movies listed. And still, the scene of the cannibalism house was too bleak for me.

I remember a bit of "The Exorcist," but never watched the whole thing through. I believe in God and the Devil, and movies like this are just not my thing.

I watched "Get Out." Fascinating commentary. But I could watch it because even without all the plot spoilers, I knew where the movie was going. It would be much harder to watch if the movie had a much darker and bleaker ending.

It is hard to conceive of ever watching something like "The Serbian Movie," or "Pink Flamingos," or "Texas Chainsaw Massacre" movies, or Freddy Krueger movies. I was horrified reading and studying about the Rape of Nanjing by the Japanese. Could never watch such a thing. I also could never watch a full depiction of the Sandusky tragedy. There are things you just can't "unsee," and I don't want my mind to be cluttered with horrific images.
