Movies that disturbed you.
 

So, I'm not really one to get disturbed easily, but last night I was watching this movie called Kissed, and was so weirded out I had to turn it off.
It started off with the protagonist as a little girl, and whenever she'd find a dead animal or her cat would kill something she put it in a box. She'd then sneak out of her house in the night while chanting to bring the animal to this grave yard type set up she had. After spinning around in circles and stripping off her clothes, she'd rub the dead animal all over herself and then bury it.
She was kind of a loner (I'm wondering why? :eek: hhahaha) but she finally made a friend. Her friend and her would chant with the dead animals and then bury them, but at night the protagonist would come back and rub the dead animals all over herself and then give them a proper burial. Her friend just wasn't as into it as she was. Then one day she decides that she wants her friend to join in, so she bring music to encourage the dancing. The friend dances and stripes off her clothes, no big deal. Then the friend sees her rubbing the dead animal all over her face and there's blood all over her. "Oh, I guess I must have squeezed it too hard." she says. But noooo, she's gotten her fucking period and got blood all over the animal from rubbing it on her nasty crotch. Her friend then runs away (understandably) and gets her mother to call the protagonists mother to say that she was being forced to do witch craft or some shit.
The protagonist is now older, and works in a funeral home. She likes it there, lots of dead bodies and what not, then she meets this guy. She tells the guy that she "makes love" to the dead bodies, but it seems to make him more interested. They go on a date and end up back at his place. She tells him she's never had sex with a living person before and he's all like, just lay there. So, they do it and he falls asleep. While he's sleeping she runs off to the funeral home where she has sex with a dead body. I guess the living guy just didn't cut it for her.
Anyways, I turned it off there. I wish I could have finished watching it cause I'm a pretty open minded person, you know? But, it was fucked right the hell up.

Tell me about a movie that's really disturbed you.

This'll probably sound disengenuous, but Bambi is the only film I can think of. The right measure of Pathos and Bathos. Most films go too far, and it spills over into comedy for me (which isn't entirely un-enjoyable). So yes, Bambi spoke to me deep inside.

I was going to say that I'm not easily disturbed, but obviously I've not been renting the right kind of movies. :eek:


the first Evil Dead movie freaked me out when I was about 14, but damn....that's been a long time ago and I can't think of anything else!

I want to be disturbed too. :(

Seven.

Robocop, when they shoot Murphy's hand. It's disgusting.

I saw The Exorcist at the age of six or seven because it's my dad's favorite movie. They shot the film in Georgetown when my dad was enrolled at the university.

Scared the living shit outta me. The creepy white devil face always disturbs me.

That's a great movie :)

The Exorcist made me laugh hysterically. One of the funniest movies ever.

Is that the film where some guy has like a metal penis and some guy's eyelids are sewn together?

It's with Brad Pitt and Morgan Freeman.

Yeah now that I see it I laugh my ass off, especially that scene when she crawls like a spider down the stairs. Or the masturbation scene.

Hahah, yyeeaahhh :p

Yeah


Yeah, as Lust the pycho dude makes a guy fuck a woman with a knife/tool attached to his dick and kill her

Dr. Francis B. Gross!

I've seen a lot of movies that have disturbed me, I just can't recall what they were, mostly old grisly horror movies I watched as a kid.

But yeah, The Exorcist has since lead to a love of bloody movies; Dead Alive, Ichi The Killer, etc.

Nothing comes to mind that has disturbed me recently, but I remember when I was younger I saw A.I. and it freaked me out, the idea of being stuck forever and ever and ever. I didn't sleep for like two days.

tetsuo ii.the end of it, with the gun stuff... sex with the gun shot, face destroyed by guns... etc... maybe it's because i have a serious hatred for guns, but yeah. shit was weird.xiu xiu: sent down girl had a few disturbing scenes.that's about it.and no, the dead chick being fucked in visitor q isn't disturbing, it's funny!

Old Boy comes to my mind, this is absolutely not the movie with the most shocking scenes from a pure "visual" point of view, but it has some subtle disturbing feelings in many points, like this:
DON'T watch it if you're an animal lover (well, a fanatic animal lover...) or you are easily disgusted, all people who watched the movie will understand what the clip is about after this "disclaimer"

I've always been disturbed by that part in the original King Kong where the brontosaurus kills the guy.

oh man, I hated the ending of that film! I remember it being quite depressing.

When I was a child and my father kept watching those Dr. Phibes movies. It was not a big house, and I couldn't escape the screaming of the victims. That's what disturbed me the most, grown up people screaming like that. You've got to be really suffering.

just yesterday. first time I saw Requiem For A Dream. Uff.

hmm, not to change the subject (okay, i always do that), but...

man, i hate requiem for a dream. i'm the only person in the world who does, but jesus do i ever hate that goddamn film. i appreciate the "Art" of it, i guess (yay!!! editing your drug addiction movie like a music video! so artful!) but the acting in that film is just so awful... jared leto, the worst actor of our generation, crying to jennifer connely (playing a robot) just annoyed the shit out of me.. don't get me started about the wayan. the best actor in the movie is the old woman, but her subplot is so ridiculously stupid.

as far as "Mainstream drug film with some artful direction" goes, trainspotting is 50 million times better. requiem just annoys me. one of those films, along with donnie darko, that actually gets worse after the first time you watch it. cuz when i first watched requiem i was like "oh okay, this film's pretty cool." i tried watching it again with my girlfriend and i was like "wow, the acting in this film is TERRIBLE..." then, by the third time i watched it, i was like, "wow. this is, like, everyone's favorite movie. and it SUCKS ASS." and before anyone says anything, i don't just dislike it because everyone else started liking it or something; i love fight club and memento. but requiem is just overrated dog shit. and not disturbing at all... we all have our addictions, so fucking what. don't do heroin, you idiot.

The opening scene in Irréversible is pretty sick. So is the rape in the underpass, which goes on and on and on.

Nekromantik is quite vile and like crypto already mentioned, Salo was nauseating.

Hostel, it wasn't even scary just a gore fest.

I can't think of a movie that really disturbed me. Hmmm.
Morgan Freeman disturbs me though


Hi I'mma Mowgan Fweeman!

hostel is shit. and a lousy comedy.

der todesking was pretty disturbing. it's alllll about suicide.

nothing disturbs me.

On a purely visceral level there's a Japanese film called Naked Blood which has some pretty brutal and disturbing special effects. They actually made me nauseous. As did the fire hydrant beating scene in Irreversible.

Irreversible
Breaking the Waves

That is the one movie that I have avoid seeing, simply based off that scene. I just have a hard time seeing rape scenes in films in general. I can recall the first time watching "A Clockwork Orange" and I was just repulsed watching the rape scene, which while by today's standards is tame, the scene is still quite shocking. When I heard about "Irreversible" the idea of the film was intriguing but had heard the rape scene is just so brutal, and have pretty much avoided watching the film. Gore and murder stuff doesn't bother me so much, I've seen my share of graphic violence, and I just take it for fantasy, but have very little desire to watch such violent and distrubing rape scenes.

ohh i hear you, i first watched it at this really dark and lonely house with a friend and it was blaring all the cut scenes and cheap audio effects got to my nerves because the plot was fucking boring!!! i was like shut the fuck up, i actually asked my friend to take it off and he said "too disturbing?" and i was like "no, it's making me fucking nervous" so we kept watching it and when (and i really don't give a shit about giving away plot developments so skip this if you haven't seen it) when they amputated j.le's arm i was like "give me a fucking break!" the double dildo scene, were we supposed to be saddened on how low she got to get her fix?, BOO fucking HOO.

first time i saw it, last time i saw it.

spun is such a much better film mainly because it doesn't preach (what nimrod in the world besides courtney love doesn't know heroin is bad?), it's effects, camera work and score are used to tell the story and not look flashy and the acting kicks ass. hell, i feel bad for everyone in that movie...and we're talking about a movie with billy corgan singing most of the songs and actually appearing on it. BILLY fucking CORGAN!

when i was little i got really freaked out by it, i never liked fucking clowns, i remember i watched this women in prison movie when i was like nine, brooms on pussies and asses, switchblade fights, the whole maguila, and i thought it was really dumb.

Umm the only thing that disturbed me ever was a scat film i sat down and watched with one of my friends for shits and giggles. We wanted to turn away but just couldnt. Seriously its the only thing thats ever made me feel sick ever. How people can have a wank to that stuff without puking all over their private parts is beyond me

sorry to bring down the intelligent nature of this tread, but i had to bring this up.

Captain Sinbad

The Devil's Bride

The Exorcist

The Deer Hunter

...off the top 'o my head.

Emmah, that sounds HORRID!!

Now, for me-- I LOVE Jim Jarmusch's "Dead Man", but the scene i felt he crossed the line (and I couldn't look) is when one of the bad guys kills this guy and steps on his bald skull and cracks it and you can hear & see the skull cracking. FUCK it gives me the willies just to think about that, years & years after I saw it. I HATED that scene and i thought it was unnecessary with such graphic detail. But great movie though!

Ironically, only small things disturb me in movies like a person cutting their finger while chopping carrots or a hand in the garbage disposal.

But shit like decapitations, faces getting cut off, or even people being eaten alive doesn't even a chill. I think it's because I'v been de-sensitized to over-the-top but small things seem more realistic and there fore scarier. huh.

There are some pretty sadistic killings (even for today's standards) in that movie that scarred my innocent 12 year old soul when I first saw it. When they're having a laugh while slowly executing Murphy they're not just being bad guys, but plain evil. I don't know how I'd react to it now that I'm older though.

From what's mentioned, Salo and Irreversible disturbed me as well. Also Cannibal Holocaust for obvious reasons. But I usually tend to avoid watching disturbing movies, in particular the gory stuff. Still, it's mostly more the sounds of someone screaming in pain that disturbs me than the graphic images themselves.

Short Cuts by Robert Altman disturbs the fuck out of me. Brilliant movie by a brilliant director WARNING SPOILER but the fucked up rape bit at the end is just totally messed up. I think the way it just comes out of left field for no apparent reason makes it more psyche damaging than the rape in Clockwork Orange or the like. I'm really glad I wasn't on hallucinagenics when I watched Short Cuts.
