Most Disturbing Films.

[Alan Vorse]

I spend time on Internet Movie Data Base, and occasionally run into topics like this. Wondering which films TB'ers would list.

I'm not necessarily talking about gore/horror (even though I'm a bit of a fan). More stuff that "messed you up" a little and stuck with you for a while after you watched it.

I'll get the ball rolling:

Eraserhead.

 

[Marcus Johnson]

An Inconvenient Truth

 

[Marlat]

Under Seige 2. I want my 90 minutes back.

 

[fenderhutz]

I remembered the first time I watched Silence of the Lambs. The "tuck" scene stuck in my head for a LOOOOONG time.


Also when I watched Seven and how it all ended up had me thinking about the whole thing for weeks.

I LOVE movies for thinkers.

Confessions of a Teenage Drama Queen. frightening.

 

[MakiSupaStar]

The Shining - the part where she's running up the stairs and encounters those ghosts. One is on sitting on a bed in a tux and the other is on his knees between his legs in some kind bear or bunny costume. What the hell was that?

 

[freakonaleash]

Naked Lunch

Amelie

 

[MakiSupaStar]

Naked Lunch

You think the movie is freaky... Read the book.

 

[stedtale]

Naked Space.

 

[stedtale]

Naked Lunch

I can think of two things wrong with that title.

 

[Phantopeth]

Definately Full Metal Jacket. I made the mistake of pulling a few blunt rips beforehand. All I can say is I have never been that uncomfortable, and I dare say suicidal, like I was then.

+1 on Seven. I'm a huge fan of movies with those type of catastrophic, suprise endings. Also, Arlington Road is good like that.

?
It's not my film!

Is it possible to actually make sense of the book?

 

[Marlat]

I haven't seen it yet, but I have heard that Taxidermia is quite "interesting".

 

[Tomis17]

Faces of death

 

[GrooveWarrior]

A Clockwork Orange is pretty effed up.

I saw the movie Salem's Lot when I was a teen, and it scared the crap out of me.

+1 to The Shining

The movie Kids is really disturbing and really well done.

Good thread.

I haven't seen Naked Lunch. I'll have to look into it.

May the Almighty Steven Segal smite thee with his badass ponytail.

[MakiSupaStar]

Is it possible to actually make sense of the book?

Yeah. I'd say more so than the movie, but a lot is definitely left up to interpretation. A lot of it is about the burden of guilt associated with addiction and homosexual tendencies which manifests itself into these physical monsters. Or at least that's what I think. I could be wrong.

 

[Buzzgroove]

Amelie

+1 on that

That film just sucks the life out of you, a totally depressing
experience.
Many people seem to love it though.
