Awful. A two and a half hour "comedy" with zero likable characters and zero laughs after the first 45 minutes.
February 1st, 2018 at 1:12 PM ^
This is the only movie I have ever walked out on before it finished. Advertised as a comedy with a good cast so I went for a laugh, but the whole movie was awful.

I found it kinda fascinating -- and not too ridiculous or gratuitously gory, as the Saw series became. Of course, the acting, well, is a bit hit-and-miss, to say the least.
The Cube sequels are worth watching, too, even though they are not nearly as good. But you do (kinda sorta) get some resolution to the entire story at the end, if I recall correctly!

Although not a movie, the most disturbing thing I've seen was Halloween Havoc 1995.

I mean, what in the hell was that????

All of who have answered anything but A Serbian Film, just read the plot. It is worse than anything ever made and it's frankly not even close.

Only two movies, that I've ever seen all the way through, I classified at the time as too disturbing for me. And one I can watch now without any issues.
The one that doesn't bother me at all now is Sleepy Hollow, the version with Johnny Depp and Christina Ricci. I saw it in theaters when I was maybe 10, and there's a scene inside a torture chamber where Ichabod's mother is released from an Iron Maiden. Oddly enough the rest of the movie didn't bother me as its pretty violent, but that scene scared the shit out of me. Didn't sleep the entire night.
The one that still makes me a little unnerved if I watch it is The Exorcist. As I imagine is the case with a lot of people. Great movie, but truly horrifying and a movie that was well-ahead of its time. My parents let me watch it when I was 9 or 10 (we had very lax rules about what age you were exposed to things in our house), and that was another night where I couldn't sleep at all. Just imagining those glowing blue eyes and the head spinning all the way round gave me nightmares in the days following.
The only other film I could think of that was disturbing, and I only saw a few pieces of, is A Serbian Film. Anyone who's seen it, you know which scenes I'm referring to. Wasn't scary, just made you think "Wow, the mind of a human being can stretch to think of some pretty demented shit."

then for that one scene alone.

1. The Scourging scene in The Passion of the Christ was very hard to watch.
2. The Bear attack scene and the early recovery scenes for Leonardo DiCaprio. That was disturbing. Great movie but seeing it once was enough.
When I was a kid, The exorcist was disturbing as well.

This topic is right in my wheel-house. I've trended to these types of movies because horror movies are not very scary to me. What I've found with disturbing movies is that they are not necessarilyscary, but they tap into a different part of ones mind. I watch these movies because they do expand your mind and I am an extraordinarily curious person as to why people make these movies. Irreversible, I Stand Alone, Enter the Void are all good movies if you're interested in that sort of film.
Also, a movie called "A Serbian Film". I refuse to watch it. Google it at your own peril. Or dont...probobaly better if you don't..

It doesn't compare to some of these, but given my age and expectations when I saw it, it was the first movie that I remember walking out of the theatre and feeling like their could be no happiness in life. I think I went with three other friends, and we all walked out with a mission to find something - anything- happy to do to offset those emotions.
February 1st, 2018 at 12:57 PM ^
was a scary movie. And it stands the test of time. It still gets better with every viewing.
February 1st, 2018 at 12:59 PM ^
Forgot about Se7en. GREAT movie, and a role that Spacey just nailed to a T.

The Boy in the Striped Pajamas.
That ending....

I don't know why but The Others (2001) starring Nicole Kidman freaked me out when I saw it in the theater. Also, anything with grey aliens that I saw as a child. Other than that I'm not generally frightened by scary movies.
February 1st, 2018 at 12:56 PM ^
Did Fire in the Sky get ya? Cuz it scared the hell out of me as a kid.
February 1st, 2018 at 1:52 PM ^
Yes! And that made for TV movie 'Intruders' circa 1993
February 1st, 2018 at 3:42 PM ^
Oh yeah I think I remember that one.
Unsolved Mysteries would freak me out. And I loved the X-Files although it scared the shit out of me even well into my high school years. Sometimes I would be too spooked I would like do homework or study or go to bed early haha
February 1st, 2018 at 12:58 PM ^
by far is the craziest, most disturbing thing I've ever watched!
February 1st, 2018 at 12:59 PM ^
The Dark Crystal - just wierd and creepy as hell. I think Jim Henson was on a big 'ol acid trip.
Natural Born Killers - though one of my favorites
Indecent Proposal - just...I dunno man.
February 1st, 2018 at 12:58 PM ^
Hard Candy. This was pre-Juno Ellen Page, and she nails her role here. There's a scene in particular that made me cross my legs for about 20 minutes. I'm glad I saw it once.
February 1st, 2018 at 1:42 PM ^
I was searching so I didn't double post it. I don't have words for it. But I felt bad about myself for having watched it.

is either the greatest, or the most disturbing movie ever. Or both. Definitely DO NOT see it under the influence of any substance....controlled or otherwise.
February 1st, 2018 at 1:00 PM ^
Nuit et Brouillard (Night and Fog) was tough sledding. Especially since we saw it at my public middle school years ago. An important film, and really brought home the idea of the Holocaust. In 7th Grade we'd rip on virtually anything, but nearly everyone just walked out of the cafeteria stunned.

Requiem for a Dream
The Exorcist
WOlf of Wall Street . What was the point of that fucking movie and why did everyone think it was so great? It seemed like Scorsese was trying to glorify Wall Street greed and debauchery, basically doing the same thing he did for Mafia life with Goodfellas. I couldn't even get all the way through it. It seemed offensive for the sake of being offensive. I hate that movie.
Nothing But Trouble. A trippy and weird and unfunny Chevy Chase-Dan Aykroyd movie. Also didn't understand the point of it other than to freak out an 8 year old L'Carpetron.
February 1st, 2018 at 1:17 PM ^
Wolf of Wall Street was very funny at times. I know, the subject of the movie is pure garbage and it unquestionably went too far at times, but it was a really funny movie. A very good turn by Matthew McConnahay and Kyle Chandler as the fed as well.

When I was a kid and actually believed in the Devil.
February 1st, 2018 at 3:45 PM ^
the greatest trick the devil ever pulled was convincing the world he didn't exist. Be scared! (well, I think its pretty fucked up and scary either way)
Exorcist supposedly based on a true story about a boy in Missouri who was possessed, freaky shit.
