Most disturbing film

[b2barker]

Just wondering what others would describe as the most disturbing film they have seen.

For me it was Once Where Warriors. I still can't get over when Jake decked his wife. I think am largely de-sensitised to on-screen violence, but that one really shook me.

Runners up:
Misery - Hobbling ouch
Kids - Recently saw this again, since I had a daughter. Pull your pants up and keep away from my daughter you spotty little fucker.

[L]

I would have to say:

Happiness (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0147612/) - why doesn't daddy love me?

and for gross out violence:

Ichi The Killer (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0296042/)

Edit: imdb'd the names

[BoB tHe PlUmBeR]

Agreed with Happiness and Bad Boy Bubby was a bit wrong in parts don't you think?

[ChodeMaster]

One of the most mentally challenging movies I've seen in a while was Battle Royale (or if you prefer the original language title 'Batoru rowaiaru').

The violence wasn't the disturbing thing (ive seen more violent movies), so much as the fact that it was children doing the violence.

That said I think it was a phenomenal movie, and well worth a watch by all.

Oh, and for sheer painful to watchness/disturbingness for an individual scene, I think the scene in Monster where charlize theron's character is being sexually assaulted/raped in the car by the guy, and you see him standing behind her thrusting in and out with some sort of long implement is right up there. Very fucked up.

[CapnCallipygian]

Bad Boy Bubby messed with my head first time I saw it.

Gotta agree with ChodeMaster on Battle Royale, don't watch the sequel thou, it's shit, the origional books it's based on is good.

L's call on Ichi is a good one too.

[Aardvark]

Dungeons and dragons

Lotr trilogy

Gladiator

After all of them, I was deeply disturbed after realising I was 2 hours or so closer to death, with nothing positive to show for it. They all murdered me, just a little. Like stabbing me to death with a tiny, tiny knife

Battle Royale was fantastic. I saw BR2 on a BT site a month back, but nobody was seeding the fuckers.

[L]

Bad Boy Bubby (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0106341/) ... I'd tried to block it out :D

(aside: interestingly Bad Boy Bubby was filmed using a microphone behind each of the ears of the the lead actor Nicholas Hope's ears... The idea being that the stereo sound perfectly matched what he was hearing at any given time. :cool: )

[Enos]

Requiem for a dream left me feeling slightly ill.

Same with the Ring, not scared per se, but definately disturbed.

Meanwhile: Someone get that man some rep!

Agree with both of these.


The first 25 minutes of Irreversible is pretty disturbing too. A chick gets raped for 10 minutes of the movie, then a guy comes along and clubs another guy to death with a fire extinguisher!

I would have to say i agreed! Its twisted tho BR2 is gay as, its got nothing on the twisted feeling of the first one

[troubadour]

Eraserhead (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0074486/) is up there with Bad Boy Bubby. I couldn't eat chicken for several months after seeing that.

A Clockwork Orange (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0066921/) is also pretty disturbing.

A film that greatly disturbed one of my friends when they were a medical student was Queen Margot (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0110963/). He said that the scene showing the aftermath of the Saint Bartholomew's Day massacre was the most realistic depiction of corpses he's ever seen on film, and it freaked him out.

[Sashasword]

This one isn't disturbing in the same way as the other previously mentioned movies, but it sure as hell left special scars for me.

Meet the Feebles

[Scumbag]

Oh and how can I forget, while these arnt really movies - theyre just fucked up.

Bumfights 1 - most disturbing of the 3

Bumfights 2

Bumfights 3

Terrorists Killers and Middle East Whacko's - Ive never seen so many people die or dead bodies in my life!

Shocking Asia 1

Shocking Asia 2

The above two arnt really that shocking nowadays, particularly if youve travelled to south east asia. But they did disturb me when I was a kid!

[Pagey]

Wolf Creek (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0416315/) was pretty distubring - I guess it was because it seemed very realistic - such as being in Australia and it was sort of a true story

[Canalien]

then a guy comes along and clubs another guy to death with a fire extinguisher!

Christ that sneaks up on you doesn't it? Especially so early in the film. The way the guy's head caves in is just horrible.

Actually a bif of interesting trivia... the director was a bit worried he'd get a lot of flak from gay activists for portraying the gay nightclub in such a fucked up way, so he did some reshoots and he's the guy with his cock out jerking off to the dude's murder. Not sure how that makes it any better.

I remember crying my eyes out as a little kid when my dad took me to see A Perfect World in the cinema, I couldn't handle that Kevin Costner's character had to die in the end.

The scene in Platoon where Charlie Sheen goes all crazy and makes the retarded one legged kid dance around while he blasts his feet with his M16, then the other guy walks over and bashes the kid to death... "Man, did you see that fuckin' head come apart?" John C. McGinley's character is just standing at the door totally shocked and all he says is "OK. We all leave now and nobody saw a thing."

[RedMaN]

Seconded.

Queen Margot is my fave film of all time!

[Kyle]

Last 20 minutes of Audition is ridiculously screwed up. Ken Park is a film that seems messed up just to be messed up, but I liked it.

I agree with Ichi, the violence is so insane it's almost comical, good flick though.

[anothe]

pink flamingos (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0069089/) was one of the first movies that started this whole awful movie thing. and no i havent seen it.

besides that i'd say this (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0078935/) movie has to be close to the worst.., hell ive been too scared to watch this too, i have to draw the line somewhere.

I have seen most of takashi miikes flicks [ichi the killer etc] but their messages arent overwhelmed by his methods.


if anyone is actually interested in HORRIBLY VIOLENT CAUSTIC FILMS ....

HERE (www.refused-classification.com) is the best compiled (Australian!) list of movies that were refused classification or edited in some way. all with imdb links too! this is the final word in violent movie guides for sure.

If anyone manages to find one of these horrible flims linked to a trailer on imdb please share :)! ill + rep and im sure everyone else will to... good stuff !

[druckfugged]

My vote's for irreversible. What really rips my undies about it now is that the film, in hindsight, had tremendous merit (scenes shot in a single take, the effect of the final scene shot first and run horribly and unavoidably backwards to the 'centrepiece'. The violence of it was so enormously graphic at the time it just overrode any other qualities and left me feeling less human.

[Stan Kleir]

hmm .. in the last 12 months ..

Dumplings (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0472458/) - woman making Dumplings of youth from aborted fetuses .. the crunch of the late term abortion dumplings :uhh: ..

Paradise Now (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0445620/) - 2 palenstinian men decide to become suicide bombers.. good film but the tension and the feeling as I walked out of the cinema was tough..

Agree on Wolf Creek .. many people walked out of the screening I was in ..

Random thoughts:
Ghosts of the Civil Dead (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0095217/) is an Aussie classic
Dead End (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0308152/) is pretty good but the woman playing with her brain through her fractured skull is fucked up..

[imp]

Cube (the second one was SHIT!!!)

Naked Lunch

Ju-On: The Grudge (original Japanese version, the american one was SHIT!!!)

Wolf Creek is meant to be one of the most disturbing films out at the moment. I think it's b/c you see through the eyes of the killer through a lot of it and there's never any hope that anyone will survive. Creepy.

[dozer]

dennis hopper is an angry man.

[berserk]

The Passion of the Christ - Xtian snuff film

[and3w]

Ichi the Killer, although the violence is very comic-book.
Monster, preferably, for real disturbance, alongside Nick Broomfield's documentary of her execution & last year or two of life on death row. The 2 compliment each other superbly, but I find the real life documentary far more disturbing.
For a purely 'Hollywood' film I found 'Memento' disturbing upon first viewing, as well as being one of my favourite films.
American History X and, in Aus, Romper Stomper are disturbing for their themes, as is Nil By Mouth; In fact, anything with Ray Winstone in or directed by Mike Leigh (or Gary Oldman in either capacity) can be guaranteed to disturb or challenge in one way or another.

As a child, The Cybermen in Dr Who (probably because when they died they looked like my dad with shaving foam on!) and for some strange reason 'The Clangers' both weirded me out.
On another, more frivolous level, 'The Cassidy Family' and 'The Gnome Mobile' damaged me for what they did to my formative childhood years!!! :couch: :couch:

Thats it for a quick run through, many of which have been mentioned by others and I'm sure many more which WILL be mentioned by others; where I go "DUH!"! :screwy:

[dozer]

'war photographer' for the most disturbing documentary, just before 'task of blood'.

[Movius]

I have seen most of takashi miikes flicks [ichi the killer etc] but their messages arent overwhelmed by his methods.message?

lewl, thats funny.

[Canalien]

Definitely didn't find Eraserhead disturbing, just weird. Cube is one of my faves, a bit sick in some parts but I coouldn't say it's disturbing. I refuse to see the sequel. As for The Cook, The Thief, His Wife and Her Lover, I'd say that was just GROSS, I couldn't take the violence seriously, it was a bit comical (Tim Roth shoving torn out pages down the guy's throat, the bit where they cook up the dude and the woman sticks her fork in his cock.. HA!)

[L]

... Cube is one of my faves, a bit sick in some parts but I coouldn't say it's disturbing. I refuse to see the sequel...

A bloody good thing to refuse. I was a huge Cube (1997) (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0123755/) fan and I confess that I did watch the Cube 2: Hypercube (2002) (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0285492/) which was pretty lame.

Even worse though... I downloaded and watched Cube Zero (2004) (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0377713/) which is the third movie and a prequel to the other two. The only redeeming quality this film has is that it took you behind the scenes and showed who was running the cube. Still not worth watching unless you have some bandwidth to waste.

I will never get those hours back.... :FIREdevil

[Tigress]

The two I think were disturbing have already been mentioned - Once Were Warriors (at the time I thought I'd rather be ignorant it was that disturbing) and Requiem for a Dream (very realistic view into a junkie's life and the mother was very bizarre - strange because my Dad told me my Grandmother was given similar tablets years ago to loose weight and all she did was run around cleaning the house and never sleeping so they had to take her off them).

[CapnCallipygian]

Another one I just thought of and don't think anyone eles has mentioned yet is "Old Boy", great movie.

The scene where he eats the live octopus is gross and the scene where he cuts out hid own tougue, I think is worse (or better, depending on how you look at it) than the tongue scene in Ichi the Killer.

[Sirtobin]

what about that fat pig of a woman/man called Devine who ate real dog shit in a movie - thats grossest!!!

[Nodbugger]

Australia has some fucked up movies.

[s3raph]

Which ones?

[Vardsy]

Requiem for a Dream (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0180093/) - made me intensly sad after watching. Loved the score they used in it though.

Cunnumulla (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0270902/) - Funny in parts but also disturbing.

Midnight Express (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0077928/) - I watched this again the other night on TV and even though it isn't disturbing in terms of violence or gore, the whole idea and feeling you get from watching the movie is unsettling.

I watched the first Excorsist film when I was about 6 or 7 (hiding behind the couch while my older sister and her friends watched it) - terrified me to the point where I was too scared to sneak back to my room.

[Vardsy]

Australia has some fucked up movies.

America produces some absolutely terrific cinematic experiences by the way

[phunkachunka]

8mm was pretty disturbing I felt.

The Kill Bill movies were pretty crapola. If they were one cohesive movie, then they would have been ok, but as individual movies :barf:

Requiem for a Dream - made me intensly sad after watching. Loved the score they used in it though.

Seconded!

[s3raph]

Requiem for a Dream, I recognise as being a masterpiece, but I'll never be able to enjoy it if you know what I mean. Its just too depressing to watch these people have their lives destroyed, with absolutely no hope in the conclusion.

A lot of my friends say that the director was courageous to end it in that way, but I point to the ending of American Beauty for a way to end a movie on a low point, but still positively.

The soundtrack/score was done by Clint Mansell w/ Kronos Quartet. I have the full soundtrack and both it and the movie are beautiful but I don't thinkI could ever watch that movie again. Once is enough.

I think I felt a little sick and depressed after the first time I watched it.

Also a bit of trivia, they used parts of the above score as music for some LOTR's promos. and in the movie itself. :)

Yes, I doubt any of those movies had physiological effects like some of the other movies mentioned here have.

[BoB tHe PlUmBeR]

Maybe Nodbugger is right. A lot of American stuff would be censortised by their neofascist government.

Which ones? Of all the movies listed in the earlier pages only a couple were actually Australian ... Wolf Creek and Bad Boy Bubby... were these the ones that upset you?

That one by the french ?dadaist? in the 1930's where they slice the eye open with a razor. Still probably the most disturbing single scene I have ever seen..

I dont see how it won an oscar. It wasn't that good. I mean, yes it was a light hearted comedy, maybe even a little romantic, but not oscar material. Especially the end, I was expecting something better.....

Still, the most disturbing movie to me is SPICE GIRLS the movie. Its so disturbing that I haven't even watched it. The cover of the movie alone freaks me out.

Irriversable is the only film that has truely left me disturbed to think about it later is still hard. Although there is some interesting things why it was so unnerveing.

The first 30 minutes of the film has a background noise with a frequency of 28Hz (low frequency, almost inaudible), similar to the noise produced by an earthquake. In humans, it causes nausea, sickness and vertigo. It was the main cause of people walking out of the theaters during the first part of the film in places like Cannes and San Sebastian. In fact, it was added with the purpose of getting this reaction.

Myth Busters played around with that sound/frequency when they were testing the "Brown Noise" theory. Apparently it made some of the crew feel pretty unsettled and unwell. Strange.

I've seen a trailer recently for a film that has Quentin Tarantino as one of the producers. It's called "Hostel" and apprently in some of the screenings they've had people pass out and taken to hospital.
You can find the trailer at Apple (http://www.apple.com/trailers). I have to say, this film looks rough. I doubt i'd be able to watch it.

"Movie-maker QUENTIN TARANTINO is warning film fans about his new horror movie HOSTEL because he doesn't want audiences passing out at the cinema.
The KILL BILL director, who is among the producers of the new movie, insists the film - about kids that are lured into a hotel that doubles up as a torture chamber for the Russian Mafia - is truly "horrifying" and definitely not for the faint of heart.

He says, "Be careful about the film; you might end up in a hospital at the end of the night, it's no joke.

"We've actually had people pass out at screenings and they had to call the paramedics."

"The Hills have Eyes" which is a remake of a 1977 Wes Craven film. Looks messed up.... Apple have a trailer for that up as well as one for "Wolf Creek". It's meant to be pretty damn disturbing as well. :)

[biomechanic]

Bad Boy Bubby without a doubt.

Irreversible was pretty rough. That sound did make me feel a bit queesy (and annoyed) - but it's hard to admit that watching Monica Belluci get banged, a part of me was saying "You know...I'm kinda turned on"



(I don't find rape erotic, it's just Monica Belluci has an incredibly hot arse.)

That is because of the political content, I presume, because otherwise the film has ssome rather good moments, I think. However, I do agree with you that the film as a whole is disturbing.

[kleph]

good moments? it is considered the acme of documentary filmaking. everything that came after has been in debt to it. riefenstahl was the master of using the pretext of a historical accounting and filling it with lush subtext that sways the viewer at an emotion level.

in some ways it is the beginning of our media saturated world today as reifenstahl deftly intergrates wagner's concept of lietmotif as a way to emphasize and underscore the actual drama occuring. (interestingly, it was george lucas who took this concept the next step further)

the disturbing part is that it cannot be watched without the subtext of what this utopian vision will cost and who will be paying the highest price. that it is so effective at it's aesthetic aim makes it all more unnerving since it clearly had a target audience to appeal to. the really creepy part is when you step back and drop the guise of irony or historical detachement and realize it would work just as well today.

Leni Reifenstahl was a very talented woman, I mean as a propaganda piece you can still show it to people, and they'll be swayed by it, and believe that although the Nazi's committed horrific atrocities, they had a utopian, powerful state.

Most disturbing movie I ever saw

Here is a review from a user on IMDB:;

On one hand, I appreciate it for being the total invert of a Michael Bay film. No dialogue, extremely stylized grainy B&W photography, some of the most genuinely horrific imagery ever set to film, and a very compelling use of sound (which nobody else seems to have really picked up on yet). It's a reflection on a theme, and it dares go where most filmmakers do not not only in terms of images, but of production and concept. It's a movie that most people don't understand, and if you read through these comments you'll find a lot of people whose lack of ability to figure this film out results in them shrieking about 'pretentiousness' with the fervor of a gibbon rattling the bars of its cage at feeding time. It genuinely shocked and disturbed me, and the last time a film managed to do that was a while ago.

On the other, this is a thirty-minute short that sprawls out to over an hour and a half. I understand that there might be artistic merit in using repetition and monolithic pacing as a bludgeon, but in this case it just doesn't help everything hang together. Imagine being approached by a ragged man on the street who grabys you by the shoulders and says something that completely confounds the core of your being... but then, instead of leaving your shattered and gibbering in his wake, he just keeps talking and talking and talking. By the end of the movie, I found myself glancing at my watch now and again.

This is not entertainment, people. This is disentertainment. This is how you deprogram people who just watched "Glitter." If you watch movies to be entertained, this will frustrate, confound, and possibly anger you. You don't approach 'Begotten' like a chocolate cake you want to eat because it tastes good. You approach it like something on the menu you have never heard of before, something you see furtive glances of through the kitchen door, something that's dark and glistens and twitches on its platter; something you order not because it will taste good, but because you just have to know what it's like.

Sounds pretty good. I might have to look into this one but sounds like another film I'll watch once, love and then never, ever want to watch again. That's how I feel about "Requiem for a Dream".... it was an amazing film but i'll never be able to watch it again.

Ditto, such a depressing ending.

[pinchy]

"Requiem for a Dream" is a beautiful albeit disturbing film.... I love how every scene has a rythym or beat associated with it through the sound track..... a very good film IMO...

The same director (Darren Aronofsky) more recently did "pi"; a film about a loner about to crack the maths behind the stock market (enabling him to predict exact quotes), he's used the same music score style to give each scene a rythym... not as depressing as Requiem for a Dream, but worth watching....

I seen a movie called, My Little Eye, I found that to be real disturbing, was not scary, but the general storyline, had me scared.

I have to agree it's pretty screwed up, but check out Ken Park, that's just as bad (and I believe it's made by the same guy.)

Edit: Never mind, not by the same director, but equally disturbing.

[Dundasbro]

Meh I don't need movies to have crushing nightmares...
(Also, when I was about 4 and under Snow White terrified the shit out of me)

[Movius]

I have to agree it's pretty screwed up, but check out Ken Park, that's just as bad (and I believe it's made by the same guy.)The last time anyone tried to recommend that here they ended up in a jail cell.
