Way OT: Most disturbing movie you have ever watched?

The joy and nonchalance of Michael Madsen, Mr Blonde, strutting and grooving across the floor (to Spinner's Wheel) as he prepared to carve up the hostage police officer, and the resulting torture.
That, plus the Exorcist. Relatively tame by today's standards, but back when it came out, it was groundbreaking stuff, and freaked out entire movie audiences, as well as this impressionable teen at the time.

Requiem for a Dream. Also one of my favorite movies.

This movie by the great director Robert Altman — whose papers are now in the Michigan archives — had me unsettled for days.

I always thought that Richard Gere was just a lame actor for chick flicks like Pretty Woman and American Gigolo.
Then I watched him as a manipulative super corrupt LA cop in Internal Affairs and realized he's much better in evil roles than he is as a good guy.
That movie came out 28 years ago, but I remember having nightmares for a week after.

Creepy and disturbing.
I followed Schinder's List with The Pianist but that was more thought provoking.
The Hills Have Eyes (original) - depressing, saw it at the mid-night show. The audience was totally silent as if frozen/depressed until at one point, something bad happened to the bad guys and the audience absolutely erupted in applause.

Toxic Avenger--that was messed up ( I told my son he should never subject his brain to that)
midnight movie as a 10 year old: Phantasm (really scared on the walk home!)
Apocolypse Now (snug into theater as a 7th grader--didnt need to see that at that age)
the original La Femme Nikita (English subtitles)--as a chemist I learned of new uses for sulfuric acid
I have never heard of the Serbian movie--not even going to read about; I'm getting too sensitive in my old age

Watching Tom Brady kiss his son was a bit disturbing.
As for an actual movie, watching Halloween for the first time as a child on Halloween was absolutely terrifying

It's part drama, part documentary (actors reading out loud survivors' accounts). I couldn't finish hearing about the atrocities, especially considering they were all true, unlike the above-mentioned horror films.

Not recommended for the faint of heart.
(spoiler alert)
Monica Bellucci being brutally, I mean BRUTALLY, viciously, relentlessly raped and beaten into a coma in one insanely long, extended-shot. And that's just one of the scenes. I won't watch it again. But YOU should.
Also "Dead Alive" from Peter Jackson's splatter years (pre-Lord of the Rings) will test your capacity for gore. Although it's all in good fun. I mean, it's GORY, goopy, bloody fun non-stop for about an hour.
I keep reading that Cannibal Holocaust is disturbing. And if you truly want to be deeply disturbed about humanity, watch "Night Will Fall". The recently-found documentary about the real Holocaust (on Netflix). Filmed by the soldiers of the liberating armies. Just mountains of dead, decaying bodies.
I mean, I couldn't finish it. It will make you want to march out and attack an alt-right supporter for even thinking about throwing up a Nazi salute.

I am the movie rental king of my family. I use to rent movies for my family to view when we would get together over the Christmas holiday.
I discovered that Raging Bull was supposed one of the greatest movies of all time, and had never seen it.
The constant profane language and La Motta's personna made it truely unwatchable.
We could not watch it very long before ejecting it.

....nothing else comes close in my book. 1985 Soviet war film that shows rapes and the burning of children by Einsatzgruppen as they made their way through Eastern Europe.

Event Horizon was definitely the most disturbing film I have ever seen. I actually had trouble sleeping for months.

not much of a "movie" but it was the sickest thing I've watched.
February 2nd, 2018 at 3:08 PM ^
I was still disturbed by that film 2 days later

I love this movie. But the seen where the German kills Mellish - I have to fast forward through that scene. Fucking Upham...
