what's the sickest, most disturbing movie you've ever seen?

[datasuspect]

i'd say salo (120 days of sodom). bad lieutenant is a close second.

[friesianrider]

1. I still think the Blair Witch Project was very disturbing...

Not really sick, but disturbing.

[Montauk6]

43. I couldn't watch it with a straight face nor take it seriously.

I made the mistake of watching a hilarious spoof called "The Oz Witch Project," and whatever spook level from the original was totally dissipated.

Here's the spoof in question: http://www.ifilm.com/ifilmdetail/419841

[friesianrider]

48. Hahaha!

Yeah, it didn't have the same effect once the up-the-nose shots began being massively spoofed!

[liontamer]

2. kids

definately very disturbing. especially since I was young when I saw it.

[friesianrider]

6. Ooooh, yes...that was a very disturbing movie.

[datasuspect]

9. i never saw this one

any details?

to lazy to google right now.

[friesianrider]

16. It's about...

A group of skater kids in New York I believe. The main character makes it his mission to de-virginize as many girls as possible...except one of his conquests learns she got HIV from sex with him and tries to track him down so he doesn't give it to anyone else.

It's so disturbing because it is so...well, bleak. It's frightening because the one kid is just so self-centered and stupid and reckless and don't give a shit about the consequences of his actions.

I'd recommend it, but it's one of those films that you don't really watch for entertainment!

[Texasgal]

3. I think mine is

Deliverance... quite disturbing...and sick too. :scared:

[datasuspect]

4. "squeal like a pig"

yeah, that is a good scene.

[Texasgal]

8. I have to close my eyes

when that scene comes on.

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

5. Eraserhead.

Deeply creepy.

[bridgit]

7. there it is...

[Horus45]

110. Same here, That movie scarred me for life!

I cannot believe I sat through it 3 times!
A VERY disturbing movie!



That tag line says it all!
The Nightmare Has Not Gone Away...

[mac56]

115. Second for Eraserhead.

The only movie over which I've had to leave a room.

[momophile]

124. yes, maybe...

never want to watch it again BUT I'm kinda feel like I should.

[Catchawave]

10. Night of the Living Dead

The original:



Courtesy of: http://www.follow-me-now.de/assets/images/Night_of_the_Living_Dead-Filmplakat

[datasuspect]

11. that was a creepy fucking movie

and still is.

nb: it's a public domain movie. romero never renewed the copyright. there are about 15 different versions of it.

you can download it here:

http://www.archive.org/details/night_of_the_living_dead

[Catchawave]

104. ..and in black and white

which made the scene when the pick-up caught fire, and zombies gathering around like it was a tailgate party simply nauseating, as they noshed on body parts plucked from a grill. :shudder:

Haven't been able to eat meat since!

[China_cat]

113. Quite a few of those zombies

are cousins of mine. Movie was made in my home town, farmhouse owned by the local dentist and the zombies were paid $5 each.

With no royalties.

[Catchawave]

118. Wow, thanks for the info.....

but what a legacy those "zombies" have, appearing in a cult film!

Something to tell the grandkids = priceless :)

[China_cat]

120. Most of them actually HAVE grandkids now.

And my family is buried in that cemetery that opens the film. (BTW, it's only 45 minutes from Pittsburgh, not 3 hours. Drive north 3 hours and you'd end up in Lake Erie.)

[ET Awful]

12. The Bodyguard

:scared:

[edbermac]

13. Snow White And The Seven Dwarfs

Some virgin laying in bed in the forest with 7 lonely midgets; are you kidding?

[nytemare]

14. "Crash"...not the recent movie. This one came out a few years back.

This one had James Spader and Holly Hunter, and they would get turned on by seeing and being in car crashes, and at scars and injuries caused by the crashes.

This was just a sick flick, really. Out there.

[CanuckAmok]

39. That was based on the Ballard novel.

Fucking odd. And adding Cronenberg to the mix doesn't help.

[RobinA]

94. For Some Real Creepiness

try reading the book, "Crash." Makes the movie look tame. Not that there's any earthly reason to read it, but if you want to pay to read some guy's screwed up fantasy....

[qnr]

15. Salo... also, his "Necromantic" was pretty bad n/t

[DanCa]

17. Passion of the christ - for the bloodletting

I just can't handle bloody movies because my niece is a hemphiliac.
Plus I didn't care for the fundie torture version of Jesus. Never have never will. Now lillies of the field rocks.

[WilliamPitt]

18. Faces of Death

That, and Red Dawn.

[Texasgal]

20. OMG!

I completely forgot about that!!!! Your right... that was CREEPY!!!

Weird.shit.

[datasuspect]

21. way back when

as a teenager, we used to drop acid and watch those.

[DanCa]

22. Faces of death one or three - which showed the live execution?

[datasuspect]

23. two words

MONKEY BRAINS!!!!!!

[Texasgal]

28. I think it was 2

I think.... Pretty severe shit in those movies... remember the cow slaughter?

[DanCa]

32. Yeah those were chilling just thinking about it gives me the willies.

[momophile]

125. never could watch...

my little sisters used to watch them but I just refused to. I felt there was no reason to watch real people suffer.

[Rabrrrrrr]

19. Henry: Portrait of a Serial Killer

[adriennui]

24. boys don't cry

it was brutal and relentlessly depressing.

[momophile]

126. I still won't watch it...

because I know it will just piss me off too much.

[BlueIris]

25. Toss up between

"The Hand the Rocks the Cradle" and "Death and the Maiden." The edge might go to the latter because--looking back, though THTRTC gave me serious fears of intimacy, getting medical care and having asthma, (seriously) "Death and the Maiden" is...that was the first time it occurred to me that human beings could be as evil as I think the male characters are in that story and still look perfectly normal. Also, the degree of evil that Ben Kingsley's character embraces in that plot ("I didn't have to seduce them!")--first time I'd considered that there some "humans" in this world who aren't interested in viewing women as anything other than objects to provide them with sexual pleasure.

[DanCa]

26. Robocop I the original version.

Specialy when the guy was melting.

[Hardrada]

27. Marat/ Sade comes pretty close.

It seems creepier now than when I first saw it. O I know why. Because it was making all these suburbanite yuppies of the day freak out!!

Anyone remember that one?




We want our rights- and we don't care how.
We want a REVOLUTION NOW!!!

[Montauk6]

61. Monsieur Coulmier is one of my favorite characters!

He's the ultimate explainer.

[Lydia Leftcoast]

29. Audition

It was on cable, and while I make a point of seeing Japanese movies, I turned this one off when the young woman brought out the razor blades. I'm told it gets worse.

[LynzM]

34. I read about that one.

That is one fucked up movie. :scared:

[usedtobesick]

30. Parents with Randy Quaid

Family canabalism...

[CanuckAmok]

36. "What were they before they were leftovers?"

"........Leftovers to be."

[usedtobesick]

40. shame on you.... bad pun.... no cookies

:evilgrin:

[Floogeldy]

31. Bambi

}(

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

33. I thought of another one: Un Chien Andalou.

Bunuel and Dali. An oldie but creepy.

[LynzM]

35. "The Hole" was pretty disturbing...

Maybe not the most disturbing movie that's out there, but damn creepy and disturbing.

[eleny]

37. Blue Velvet

[Swamp Rat]

76. Ahh! Ya beat me to it!

I just posted "Blue Velvet" below, but then saw yours. "Baby wants to..." :D

I love when Dean Stockwell lip sinks "Candy Colored Clown." ... "Yer sooo fuckin' suave man!!!" :D

[CanuckAmok]

38. not actually "sick", but very, very disturbing: "Requiem for a Dream"

Just fucking bleak, especially when you can see it happening all around you.

[Fountain79]

103. The climatic scene...

Was particularly bleak.

[Crazy Guggenheim]

41. Caligula.

[usedtobesick]

42. Ok next to Parents... this is the second most sickest movie...

never invite a roman emperor to your wedding!

[CanuckAmok]

46. Au contraire...

If I knew then what I know now, I would have specifically insisted on at least one Roman Emperor at my wedding.

[usedtobesick]

49. thats either really kinky or you really hate your X?

:smoke:

[NMDemDist2]

44. Starship Troopers I hated it n/t

[Telly Savalas]

101. It was satire...

but it so brilliantly anticipated the quasi-fascist mentality of the Bush Administration, I can see how one would find it disturbing.

[NMDemDist2]

105. it was also graphically bloody and violent

agreed, once it got into the movie a bit it became almost cartoonish, but it was OTT IMO

[DanCa]

45. Arnie Singing Mister Ice Mister in Batman Forever

That was so wrong on so many levels. To this day I am still traumatised by it.

[MrScorpio]

47. Just about anything with a dead hooker in it

Take your pick

[shockra]

62. Very Bad Things?

[mokawanis]

50. Eraserhead n/t

[drhilarius]

51. Guinea Pig: Flower of Flesh and Blood...

Charlie Sheen actually confused it for a snuff film.

[Montauk6]

52. I've got several and, yes, I'd definitely put Salo on that list

That was some sick crap, literally and figuratively.

Others that made me uneasy...

Papillon - I saw this when it first came out, 1973, so I was ohhhh... 8 years old at the time; the guillotine scene haunts me to this day.

Trilogy of Terror - For me, not only the scariest TV movie but THE scariest MOVIE ever. And all because of that friggin' doll! Chucky's got nothing on that cursed thing, lemme tell ya! (Kudos to ABC for making great cinema back in the 70s with its Movies of the Week, long before telefilms degraded into ripped-from-the-tabloids nonsense)

Any movie that featured reptiles or insects gone amok, such as "Frog," "Bug!" or "Creepshow"

OK, those are my creepies, now on to the unnerving ones.

California Reich - This was a documentary on suburban middle-class Neo-Nazis and their goofy families. I'll never forget the image of the little kids sieg-heiling and that bizarre Nazi flag birthday cake (yep, complete with bright red, black, and white icing).

The Birth of a Nation - Yes, I know, this one is praised universally for its cinematic innovations, and it secured DW Griffith's position as an artistic genius. But I STILL can't fathom a more racist, HATEFUL movie. Sad that Woodrow Wilson, a man considered by many as one of the greatest American presidents, eagerly endorsed this garbage.

[Rowdyboy]

53. Last House on the Left.....

Very sick and twisted.

[sakabatou]

54. Perfect Blue

[shockra]

55. Meet the Feebles and Pink Flamingos would probably be up there.

But I haven't seen either in a long time so I don't really remember.

[Guy Fawkes]

56. Sunday Bloody Sunday

The (extremely) sad part: it really happened.

[khashka]

57. The Experiment

Pretting freaking ugly, but at least a woman got to be the hero for once.

Khash.

[Elidor]

58. Pink Flamingos

Divine ate fresh dogshit. Yuck.

[AtomicKitten]

83. I get the dry heaves just thinking about.

Had to watch it once for reference, never again. My love for John Waters has receded a bit. Yikes.

[Horus45]

130. After seeing this post, I thought about the last scene and...

got a little bit of vomit in my mouth!
Almost lost it.

[AtomicKitten]

134. shut up.

must erase my brain ...

[Liberal In Texas]

59. "A Clockwork Orange" Tame by today's standards, very disturbing

when it was released.

Disturbing because you came away thinking that if our society keeps going like it is, it is going to eventually get like this.

And it has.

[sleipnir]

68. I argue that it's not tame at all.

That movie still freaks me out to no end. And I was born well after it was made.

I think we've gotten there with out society today, I don't know how, but we have.

[amitten]

60. Boys Don't Cry

Made me totally miserable for like two days. DAMN that Hilary Swank!

[NMMNG]

63. Boys Don't Cry

It ties my insides into a knot and makes me cry every time I see it.

[NMMNG]

64. Dupe

[PittPoliSci]

65. ichi the killer

surprised this hasn't been said yet...

[AtomicKitten]

84. I watched the first 10 minutes of it.

My son loved it though.

[hickman1937]

66. I think it's called The Audition.

A Japanese movie. Most horrific. I've only been able to watch about 1/3 of it. Still don't know how it ends. Watching some of this film was almost as bad as seeing Night of the Living Dead in 1970.
on edit maybe it was 1969.

[6000eliot]

67. "In the Realm of the Senses"

If you have a penis, you will squirm like you have never squirmed before. I saw it once, but I would never watch it again.

[Jamastiene]

69. Texas Chainsaw Massacre (Part 2)

Part one was gross enough, but part 2 just absolutely hit home to me. I live in a redneck, I mean red state to begin with and at the time I saw the second one, I was staying late at school to operate the radio station. The second TCM has a scene in it where this female dj at a radio station is being terrorized by Leatherface. It is just so possible, unlike the supernatural horror movies. I think it is the most disturning movie of all. Grudge was pretty creepy too. I still haven't seen Saw but I want to. I am sure it will be disturbing. And last but not least, anything, and I mean anything, with that little Dakota Fanning girl in it just creeps me out beyond belief. Heck, seeing her in an interview with someone like Letterman or Leno gives me the creeps. SHE gives me the creeps.

[Kickin_Donkey]

70. "Clockwork Orange" ...

"Blue Velvet"
"The River" (teens and a corpse in a riverbottom)

[henslee]

71. I cannot forget seeing Salo in a theatre and seeing periodic waves of

audience members leave as each new affronting scene appeared... until just diehards were left. The same happened during the recent documentary The Aristocrats. I did not have a hard time with Salo... probably because I was aware of its allegorical intent. I have a hard time watching any movie that has a prologned gratuitouso gore or an anal rape scene.

[sbj405]

72. Happiness

[emmajane67]

73. The Doom Generation or

Bad Boy Bubby

Although I had a very sheltered childhood as far as violence etc went so most action etc find way too much to handle.

[Mutley]

74. Wrong Turn.

:scared:

[Swamp Rat]

75. "Blue Velvet"

I love it! "Baby wants to..." :D

[CatBoreal]

77. For me it would have to be..

..The Handmaid's Tale.


I walked out of that movie so angry that it was a week before I could talk to a male without wanting to hit them.

[entanglement]

112. I read the summary on IMDB and it seems interesting

if somewhat disturbing

[LaurenG]

78. Eight Millimeter

with Nick Cage. A snuff movie. Yuck, spit, gak. Ewww. A make it stop kind of movie like some of the others already mentioned.

[dolo amber]

79. Vulgar

Nothing competes with evil clowns and anal rape... :cry:

[Briarius]

80. Event Horizon

The scene where the captain has to watch the live replay of his wife committing suicide still gives me the willies...

[TK421]

131. I second that...what about the part when everyones watching the video

of the former crew going nuts, and Lawrence Fishburne says matter-of-fact "We're leaving" Probably the only funny moment

[malta blue]

81. Kids. n/t

[Rising Phoenix]

82. Spanking the monkey

is was a low budget flick with mother/teenage son sex - not a porn...very disturbing

[kid a]

85. passion of the crust

[Touchdown]

86. Bloodsucking Freaks.

Mysoginistic. Not one stitch of cloting for any females who will die from torture as entertainment for a theatricaal audience. Has a man throwing darts at a woman's butt...as a joke! Sucking brains through a straw. Women at the end eating the bad guy's severed penis on a hogie roll. Supposed to be funny, but it's disturbing that anyone would think of such inhuman shit just for yuks.:puke:

[Lochloosa]

87. Pink Flamingo.....'nuf said!

[Deja Q]

88. Star Trek Nemesis

[Aristus]

89. "Wild At Heart".

That was such a sick, depressing, dismaying, bleak, awful movie. I still love Laura Dern and Willem Dafoe, but I can't believe they agreed to make that terrible, nauseating flick.

[Lochloosa]

90. "Natural Born Killers"

[mikeargo]

91. Seven

Right from the first scene, then it went downhill from there.

[babylonsister]

136. Mine, too. Couldn't watch it all the way through. nt

[Sugar Smack]

92. "Necromantik."

My boyfriend from when I was 22 and really impressionable, my boyfriend "Lars", this really la-di-da, narcissistic artistic musician with airs that you couldn't even imagine, this self-centered and vain snooty patootie who wanted to add this sick flick to his urbane collection of outre resources, MADE ME WATCH IT.

SEX WITH DEAD PEOPLE. GROSS.

[Monkey see Monkey Do]

93. "Scrapbook" and "The Untold Story" for starters

The first is about a serial killer and the bulk of the film is his physical (including a very, very nasty rape) and mental torture of a female victim.
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0304676/

The second is a very good film, again about a serial killer, which has two graphic and horrific murder scenes (one involving the slaughter of several very young children).
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0103743/

Also, as I've said on here several times, I had real problems with Larry Clark's last film "Ken Park" due to the fact that it has unsimulated sex (and auto-erotic asphyxiation) performed by actors playing 15/16 year olds.
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0209077/

"Anatomy of Hell" has some very disturbing and frankly disgusting (but that's the point) moments. (For eg - SPOILERS: - a woman removes a bloody tampon, puts it into a glass of water then her and the man drink from it; a man withdraws his erect penis and a torrent of menstral blood flows out - he is later seen covered in it, masturbating. And more, but you get my point.)
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0348529/

Finally, there's a couple of scenes in "Irreversible" (the night club and the underpass) which are as brutal and disturbing as anything I've seen. It also marks perhaps the greatest use of CGI in any film I've seen.
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0290673/

Edit - Must add the absolute mind-fuck that is "Funny Games" which I would recommend for anybody.
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0119167/

[jane_pippin]

95. "Sick: The Life and Death of Bob Flanagan, Supermasochist"

It was actually an interesting movie about an artist, Bob Flanagan, who had cystic fibrosis and turned his disease (or the pain of it at least) into performance art.

here's a link
http://imdb.com/title/tt0120126/

[cedahlia]

96. I Spit on Your Grave (no contest)

I left the room and cried after about the first 2 minutes of the first of several extended rape scenes. :puke: :puke: :puke: :puke: :puke: :puke:

I fucking loathe that movie. :mad: :mad: :mad:

Although, I have heard the Last House on the Left is either just as bad, or worse. That is definitely on my "Never, Ever See" list. I find it disturbing that so many people enjoy these particular films. :puke:

[Dying Eagle]

97. My tape of the Bush Inauguration

Fucking Scary Shit!!!!

[NNadir]

98. Bambi.

Another really bad one was Snow White. Those seven migit necrophelic sex perverts really offended and upset me.

[Callalily]

99. A Clockwork Orange (nt)

[Faygo Kid]

100. Looking for Mr. Goodbar

With Diane Keaton, late '70s. A character analysis movie turns into a bloodfest. I found it repulsive; obviously powerful, but wish I would have passed.

[Fountain79]

102. Devil's Rejects

Just a disturbing movie, very well done, just disturbing.

[SmileyBoy]

106. 28 Days Later

Those sick zombies frightened the shit out of me...

[Fountain79]

109. Possibly

The only movie that I have ever left looking over my shoulder.

[La Lioness Priyanka]

107. requiem for a dream

[KyndCulture]

108. The Butterfly Effect, Seven, Requiem for a Dream nt.

[TomInTib]

111. Cook, Wife, Thief, Lover

Art house in Austin. Audience groaning, gasping, leaving.
Ugh

[PittPoliSci]

114. how about Battle Royal?

All those japanese kids just killing each other. that's fucking crazy.

[Missy Vixen]

116. Portrait Of A Serial Killer

Creepy as hell. I couldn't sleep for months without the lights on.

Julie

[maveric]

117. Julien, Donkey Boy.

http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0192194/
A very fucked up "dogme" film about a disturbbed teenager growing up in a family of schizophrenics.
You watch it and you'll agree.

[AlienGirl]

119. Species (yes, the bad sci-fi movie)

It melted my head something fierce, though not for the reasons it's scary to anyone else. ARGH, I get all upset just thinking about it.

Tucker

[Nikia]

121. House of 1000 Corpses

Some of the others mentioned were disturbing too. I haven't seen Devils Rejects yet and I don't know if I want to see it.

[GreenPartyVoter]

122. Clockwork Orange, Apocalypse Now, Full Metal Jacket, Blue Velvet

[AccessGranted]

123. Das Experiment, Mary Full of Grace and The Exorcist

Das Experiment is a foreign film about a research experiment gone wrong - very wrong.

Mary Full of Grace just bothered me. Good movie. Strangely sad.

The Exorcist (or The Exorcism of Emily Rose) because I just can't imagine what I'd do if one of my children was possessed by the devil. Right now they are just possessed by the video games and that is bad enough.

[momophile]

127. how 'bout Once Were Warriors

my, how that one made me cry. My husband had to pause it to calm me down, I was so upset.

[huskerlaw]

128. Fahrenheit 9/11

It's got this absolutely vile creature tromping around the country playing golf, stealing an election, and using a national tragedy to start a war which kills thousands of people for no reason.

Absolutely the sickest and most disturbing movie EVER. :puke:

[momophile]

129. anyone know french/canadian Leolo?

I think I need to watch it again to get more out of it. The first time just disturbed me so much.

[blockhead]

132. "Roadhouse" n/t

[gpandas]

133. freaks n/t

[terrya]

135. A little movie called "Henry, Portrait of a Serial Killer"

It's the most disturbing movie I've ever seen. I had nightmares about it...it's an incredibly chilling movie.
