Kids. Saw it years ago. No interest in ever setting it again.
Requiem for a Dream is an incredibly powerful film that is worth watching once, then never again.
I’ve seen most of the movies mentioned here 🫠
IMHO, A Serbian Film and Human Centipede 2 have some of the most disturbing scenes I’ve ever seen. Realizing that they are made for shock value kind of make them laughable though.
SALO is often mentioned in lists of fucked up movies, but it’s really not much. There’s some poop eating, light rape and someone’s tongue is pulled/cut out. It might have been shocking back in the day.
Irreversible made me feel nauseous and had an unsettling feeling from start to end. (Made me vary about Climax, which kind of have a similar feel, but is only fucked up to a much smaller degree). That one for too long scene that just foes on forever makes it the most disturbing film I have ever watched.
Heriditary has some fucked up scenes too and truly scared me. (But Midsommar bearly made an impression on me. Bearly).
Requiem for a Dream made me feel bad about drugs.
Bone Tomahawk kind of seems like an average action/adventurish movie in a western setting until… stuff happens.
Also worth a mention are Martyrs, Ôdishon, The Woman, Inside, The Girl Next Door (not the comedy) and either versions of Funny Games.
May have forgotten some.
(I have no plans to watch any of the Terrifier movies).
Edit: Totally forgot The Heart is Deceitful Above All Things somehow. Man, that is one fucked up movie. “Play with me Daddy”.
I’ve watched most of them as well, and Irreversible was the worst for me, somehow, even though its subject matter isn’t really as bad as some of the others.
The way too long and hyper realistic R scene is definitely a big part of it, but the movie also assaults you subconsciously throughout the whole thing. The soundtrack is full of low frequencies that are known to give people nausea and anxiety, and the constant strobe lights also just make it hard to even sit through the quiet scenes.
It is a punishing watch. Wouldn’t want to watch it again.
I’d love to compare lists of (potentially) disturbing movies. Feel free to message me if you’d like.
Also the first Terrifier (although called something else I think?) was shitty (in my opinion) and I didn’t finish it. Haven’t tried the others.
Edit: Sorry everyone, as someone below pointed out, the above opinion is based on “all hallows eve” not Terrifier 1. My mistake. I’m gonna give both another try though.
It’s great, IF you really love that old, low-budget, late-80s horror. It’s a love-letter to classic slasher films, just like Kill Bill was a tribute to Hong Kong martial arts films and Japanese chanbara. If you don’t like the source material, you’re probably not going to like them.
Good point. It was quite a while ago and didn’t really approach it from that angle. With all the sequels, I should try the first again.
It’s complete schlock. But it’s fun schlock.
The Room, easily.
Oh hi Mark!
It’s bullshit. *nonchalantly and no situational awareness, tosses a water bottle in a random direction. **random offscreen voice “Ow! Hey!”
It’s pretty funny at times 😄 but the cringe… It’s not worth it. It wasn’t worth it. At least not during. It’s pretty fun to have the reference with my buddies and wife, lol.
Napoleon Dynamite was definitely like this for me. Watching it was fine, and funny even. But quoting it after the fact with my friends? Fucking hilarious.
This one kind of annoys me. It turns out NP is really a thing for its time, unlike Blazing Saddles or Airplane. I would use sound clips from NP during my early streams if they fit the context. Now? The references are too dated in that they point to a culture that just doesn’t exist in that form anymore. The setting, sure, but the vocabulary and the inside jokes sail over most people’s heads these days. Which I think kinda sucks because Napoleon Dynamite is a great slow low budget quiet comedy about nothing interesting.
