Most Disturbing Films
What are the most disturbing films you've seen?
share[deleted]
Not bad for a 15 year old, you remind me a tiny bit of me two years ago. 'Cept I had seen a few more =P
Anyway, I've yet to see a film that truly disturbs me. I've seen different Cannibal films, all 3 AUs (which I absolutely adore), Guinea Pig films, Irreversible, Silence of the Lambs (not violent, but very well made and pertaining to psychosis), and too many more to name. I've seen the most disgusting annals of humanity, including genuine murder footage. But none of these have ever disturbed me. Perhaps I just think life is too cheap, I can't even find myself sympathizing too much to a man I've seen getting his face bashed by a sledgehammer (real video). I'm sure a psychiatrist would probably diagnose me as sociopathic, symptoms of schizophrenia, mild psychosis and a whole lot more, but I couldn't care less. I love cinema (not just the gore films), and have seen most of the most violent stuff in existence, and though it entertains me greatly, none of it has ever TRULY disturbed me.
Maybe I'm just crazy though.
You can't argue with my logic! Well, you can, but I won't listen!

My top five; "Requiem for a Dream," "Cannibal Holocaust," "À l'intérieur, (fun)," "Irreversible," and my first watch of "Eden Lake."

why the hell does everyone say they think requiem for a dream is disturbing, its laughable compared to say August Underground's Mordum.
sharerequiem is horrifying. hardest film to watch i can think of. butterfly effect is a tough one too
shareis that a joke? ive seen both of those and they're like Care Bears compared to Salo which is about children getting raped and tortured. Jeeze, Requiem isnt hard to watch at all, in fact i found it to be quite stupid. Especially the guy injecting his arm which was obviously in need of immediate medical treatment. There's no reason for an addict to inject the same place so many times that it gets horribly infected

He is an ADDICT for a reason. If there are addicts who will steal off their own grandmother, I'm sure there are addicts who will inject anwhere even at the risk of infection. Addicts will do anything to get a hit, and this is not just the case with heroin but alcohol as well. It's actually very sad

but they do, seen this often enough. People often do things without any need, or with better alternatives available, its just how people are.
btw, don't think Requiem for a Dream to be disturbing, but a good movie nonetheless.
Movies disturbing me to a point I can't stand watching them to the end are those starring Madonna. Its beyond gore or depravity.
Im a recovering heroin addict an people always say my fasciatomy or skingraph reminds them of reqiuem.I didnt keep shooting in the affected area i was just stupid in not getting antibiotics an the whole siuation couldve been avoided.It was a combination of stupidity an still wanting to get high oh an of course not tellin momma.
But the infection started near where you take your pulse.Then started to get red an rock hard up to my elbow.I shot up near a vein near my pulse.My doctor told me if i didnt get help for it in the next day it wouldve been amputated.He said it spreads quicker an quicker everyday.
But requiem really captures the horror of what the heroin addict is feeling.Cause your so out of it until hard consequences are at your door you dont understand reality..Whether its jail or abscesses..
You need to learn the difference between an and and.
Just trying to be helpful.
I don't love her.. She kicked me in the face!!

It's disturbing in an entirely different way...What I wanna know is why everyone says Eden Lake is so disturbing!!!! It really was not to me. I have been disturbed by many movies, but Eden Lake is one of the bottom of the list.
shareBut you can tell August Underground Mordum was made just to be murder porn, Requiem for a Dream covers real issues and events that actually happen to people.
shareI couldn't agree more about both movies. Requiem didn't bother me at all, I needed therapy after MORDUM
shareI love cinema (not just the gore films), and have seen most of the most violent stuff in existence, and though it entertains me greatly, none of it has ever TRULY disturbed me.
Wow, you are such a bamf. share
maybe you could post a link to this sledgehammer video?
sharesurfnikolai - I'm not sure if it's the same thing I'm thinking of, but from what I've heard there's a video on the net showing 2 guys murdering a guy with a hammer (or sledgehammer). I've never watched it (too chicken), but I think you might be able to google 2 guys, 1 hammer (or something similar to that).

It is 3 guys 1 hammer and its crazy disturbing. And Real!
I just Love Film.
Yeah, that's what it's called. I knew it was something like that, but I didn't want to google it in fear that I might accidentally see something I didn't want to see lol. I've heard it's pretty disturbing and definitely real. I think the guys were prosecuted or something?

Yeah its in the Ukraine. And the 3 boys were sent to jail. Even though only 2 were in the video the 3rd boy still killed some people but he stopped half way through.
I just Love Film.
Okay - thanks for the info ... I read about it awhile back, but I couldn't remember what I read lol.

I hope you wouldnt ever hurt someone.But ive seen that video of those 3 kids murdering that guy an if that didnt bother you then theres something wrong with you,thats a fact.I just asked my shrink dad.
Its not your fault theres something in your brain that doesnt trigger sympathy.In that country those kids wont even get life.I believe they got like 5 years jail an there families still deny they did it were capable of it.
Thats the eastern bloc for you.Life over there is worthless,an in alot of countries it is.Its not a wonderfull world.Its a cruel cruel world.Im the opposite of you im sensitive to the world.Thats part of why i struggled with heroin addiction or still do..Ill always be a heroin addict.But seriously i would see someone if i were you,it helps.

I can't believe people are able to watch the entire video. I could hardly watch any of it, and regret what I saw. I enjoy films like MORDUM but there is a world of difference that was an artistic endeavor that a lot of people with a lot of talent spent a lot of time making- they are artists, not like the people they portray (though similar); this is completely different than the prolonged real suffering of another human being, killed for no reason other than sadistic thrills. As for heroin, I have always thought The Basketball Diaries portrayed it very accurately, Mark Wahlberg looked like he was on the nod for real and Abel Ferrara and Larry Clarke have also made very realistic difficult to watch heroin movies. There was a decent HBO documentary about heroin and crack in Lowell, MA (half an hour from my house) called High on Crack Street: Lost Lives in Lowell. They got it right in Pulp Fiction and that Scorsese ambulance driver film. My favorite line is from RUSH, when the dealer makes Jennifer Jason Leigh shoot up dope, and he compares it to 'floating on a cloud of titties". Killing Zoe (from Pulp Fiction co-writer Roger Avery) had some pretty grim and realistic heroin use- including a guy (SPOILER) stopping to shoot up in the middle of a violent bank robbery gone wrong.

I have to say this movie really disturbed me.I consider myself a fan of horror an just felt like a scumbag that it came to me watching this.It just made me really deppressed that people want to watch this,that the movie was even made.It just makes me sad.I wish i never watched this movie is all.Just deppressed.
I dont think people should like or even watch this stuff.its good for the human race.
You say you adore August Underground movies and that you love cinema. If you think the crap that is August Underground is cinema, then I find it hard to take your opinion seriously. Irreversible is practically a lifetime anyways. You've got a tough guy internet persona (many people do) and that's probably why you aren't affected by seeing a murder (usually beheadings or firing squads) on the internet. You know who sees the most violent stuff in existence? Most violent war criminals...and I doubt you are one.
