Most Disturbing Films.

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?
I've musta seen that movie 5 or 6 times now, and each time it gets to that part when Wendy is climbing the stairs and looks into that open door, I can feel my blood pressure go off the charts.. I know what I'll see each time, and each time I feel exactly how she looks: completely freaked with the "scare meter" pegged. Its just so bizzare :rolleyes:
 
Cannibal Holocaust? I've never seen it... but it was banned in a few places.

I saw it! My mom actually had a viewing party with a bunch of friends and family. That was a scary frigging film! Those were my days of being into grindcore, so I was like "yeah, ain't no thing" but I was really scared. Oddly enough, the most disgusting scene for me was the tortoise (turtle?) one. YUCK!


Seven was also a pretty disturbing film.
 
Yall I was just watching some Eraserhead clips, and ***? This movie is not as disturbing as Audition is, but they arent comparable really. Eraserhead was like being on a bad shroom trip, or what Ive been told a bad shroom trip is like. *** is with that baby thing? They unwrap that thing and it like explodes its organs and ****. Im officially tripped out.
 
Looks like I arrived to late to say anything new, but here's my list:

Audition (shockingly scary :eek: ).
Breaking the Waves (desperately bleak :bawl: ).
Dancer in the Dark (heartbreakingly unjust :crying: ).
Lost Highway (we've met before, haven't we? :hmm: ).
Mullholland Drive (the key is .... the key :confused: ).


Mullholland Drive isn't so much "disturbing" as "obsessive". In answer to an earlier post, I think that some people (me included) do eventually "get" David Lynches work. It just takes a long time to anaylise everything from every possible angle, until you find a "story" where all of the pieces fit.

I've almost cracked Mullholland Drive, but I don't know if I'll ever truly figure out Lost Highway, even if I live to be as old as Mick Jagger :D .
