I can't think of any at the moment, but I'll think and try to think of something close... The worst feeling I get is when I see a piece of shit movie that's highly rated.
shareIn The Ghost and the Darkness, the scene where the male lion is pouncing upon the mother and her baby; I was so relieved that was a dream sequence.
shareC.H.U.D.
And whatever hell movie that was where Ted Danson got buried up to the neck on a beach by sea zombies while the tide drowned him. Jesus.

Creepshow - Something To Tide You Over
He got buried by Leslie Nielsen and then came back as a "sea zombie". Then he buried Leslie Nielsen up to his neck.
I can hold my breath a loooooooong time!!!!
the onion field was disturbing as beep
shareI didn't read this whole thread, but I'm sure at some point Stephen King's IT must have been mentioned. It was the only movie I saw as a kid that gave me legit nightmares and made me be afraid when I was in the dark alone.
shareI was fairly shaken by Full Metal Jacket when I saw it in the theater.
shareTexas Chainsaw Massacre (the 1974 original). Saw it at a midnight movie fest in 1979. Almost made up my mind to walk out when it got really crazy near the end (I was 16 at the time). Stayed through the end.
Later, after thinking about the feelings of disgust and horror that the film inspired, I realized that this was exactly what effective horror film-making is supposed to be about. It would have been a terrible movie if it had been billed as a Mel Brooks comedy, but this was definitely a horror film, and one that delivered on the horror.
It was the first REALLY effective horror film I ever saw. It struck me that the film accurately portrays the madness and shock that the main character would have been feeling in her situation, and depicted it much better than typical 'slasher' horror flicks of the '70s & '80s. Went back and saw it again a few weeks later, and appreciated it for the horror masterpiece it is.
When I was a child and still believed in God, "The Exorcist" really freaked me out because I believed it could actually happen.
For reasons that continue to escape me, "Blair Witch Project" left me a little unsettled.
Someone else mentioned "The Day After", which gave me nightmares for a bit. We lived 20 miles from midtown Manhattan, so I drew comfort from the fact that my death would be nearly instant and hopefully painless.
The Exorcist was based on an actual incident, only the child possessed was a boy.
share'An actual incident' of a kid who was mentally disturbed (and/or faking because of all the attention). There is still absolutely no evidence of any kind that 'demons' or 'possession' is a real thing, but a lot of people desperately want to believe it.
shareIt was accepted by the Catholic Church as a bona fide case of possession and treated as such. I suggest you do some research on it.
shareDone the research, but I don't accept the Catholic Church as an acknowledged 'expert' in some matters regarding reality. Spirituality, yes, but they have more than a slight tendency towards 'confirmation bias' when it comes to things like this, and they also cannot provide any proof of possession.
shareFair enough. I have my own misgivings about the Catholic Church.
By the same token, I think your suggestion that the boy was " faking because of all the attention " is a weak argument to the contrary. That would have been a monumental feat for someone of his age, during that era to pull off.
