Well if you're into disturbing movies I assume you've seen one of the all time classics in Pasolini's Salo (1975) right? Probably the mother of all disturbing movies with images that are impossible to un-forget. Banned in many countries when first released.
Along the same lines there's also Men Behind the Sun (1988). It's movies like this that don't cater to Hollywood or mainstream audiences that are the most brutal and shocking.
For pure shock gore I'd have to point to the cannibal exploitation flick Cannibal Ferox (1981, It.) as earning its place as one of the most graphically violent films ever (so long as you get the unredacted version that's not heavily edited and cut) and includes numerous scenes of real animal cruelty. That includes ripping the head off a live parrot and eating its innards, a live turtle having its parts amputated before being torn open. Also a live piglet that is disemboweled on camera.
The cannibal exploitation flicks do a lot of de-skinning live animals to expose their innards before devouring them, so towards the end of the movies when they start showing them doing it to humans even though you know it's fake the fact that you've just watched them do it with with real live animals makes the identical process they go through with fake human corpses all the more unsettling and leaves you feeling really queasy.
Probably the most disturbing stuff I've ever been exposed to are fetish crush videos, absolutely disgusting! It's definitely not for everyone and I believe they're illegal in some places, but that's when I really started to draw the line and stopped seeking out the extremes of the visually repugnant. There's one scene that I can't remember the movie title off hand where an old turtle is crushed to death. Ugh, that was really awful to watch.
If you're into disturbing horror you've probably seen The Human Centipede (First Sequence) (2009) and its sequels. These aren't so much scary as disgusting in the depths of human depravity.
