1. Eraserhead
2. The Lobster
3. The Killing of a Sacred Deer
Numbers 2. and 3. were both directed by Yorgos Lanthimos. I thought about seeing Dogtooth, but came to the conclusion
that is was probably also messed up, and decided against it. I'm tempted to say he has a screw loose, but instead will
simply say that he is very weird.

Combat Shock (1986)
I Drink Your Blood (1971)
Cannibal Holocaust (1980)
Any worth watching? I haven't seen any of those.
shareCannibal Holocaust is famous for being one of the first found footage films and the most well known of all the Italian cannibal movies. Amazing opening theme and brutal like a mofo. Always be nice to natives.

I Drink Your Blood is like a hippy devil worshiping Manson style cult gone berserk in a small town. It’s a bit tongue in cheek but shocking none the less. I swear the kid in this thing deserves an award. You’ll never look at meat pies the same.

Combat Shock deals with a Vietnam vet living in destitute poverty while going insane. Low budget, gritty as hell and a baby that makes the one in Eraserhead look like the Campbell’s Soup kid. This one will make you depressed for a week.

These all seem like the perfect B movies to watch at Halloween.
shareAny movie with torture or rape scenes would be on my list, but I avoid them so I can't comment on them.
From the ones I've seen with disturbing scenes.
1. Seven
2. The Audition..needle to the eye.
3. Deliverance
4. The Accused..gang rape scene
Fun fact: Jodie Foster thinks her performance is terrible in "The Accused".
shareWell I was 17 and very innocent...it scarred me. I think it was the first really disturbing movie I had seen.
shareThere is a disturbing 10 minute long rape scene in Irreversible. All in one static shot. It's a great movie, and would recommend it, but maybe you would want to back off that one.
shareThese days I try to stay away from that stuff...Unless its women torturing men then i'm all in:)
share"Misery" is your movie.
shareI've seen it..boring..not as good as people say.
shareHow are you with a woman torturing another woman? "What Ever Happened to Baby Jane?" is a great movie.
shareno its a great movie but not in this category of things that make me cringe or are messed up ? You set the category...I think you're playing it safe...Name the one movie that really bugs you, the one you don't want to see again, but you can't stop yourself..For me that was The Accused, i hadn't seen it since i was 17, I rewatched that scene tonight and it still made me sick.
shareI don't really have a threshold for messed up movies. If I don't watch it again, I either didn't like it at all, or it wasn't worth watching a second time. A Serbian film is probably the most messed up but it's not that great of a film.

Hotel Rwanda
shareThreads (1984) - I still get night terrors thanks to this.
Human Centipede (Trilogy)
Eraserhead (1977)
"Dead Man's Letters" (1986) and "When the Winds Blows" (1986) was are similar to "Threads". The 80s really wanted you to feel scared for a nuclear disaster.
shareI’m fascinated by this kind of stuff. I visited a decommissioned bunker a few years ago in Essex http://www.secretnuclearbunker.com/ It’s an interesting day out.
shareI agree that it is fascinating stuff. Some of the underground facilities the Soviets built are mind boggling. I read about one where our spy planes took pictures of steam coming out of the side of a mountain, in Siberia, if I remember correctly. It was an underground complex where they could continue to produce nuclear weapons even after a nuclear Holocaust. There were even highways under the ground for the government’s limos. Crazy times.
shareAll houses should be like this. Better safe than sorry.
