I so abhor the glamorization and bloodlust the media has for violence and death (Dirty Laundry), that the movie about the subject itself, repulses me. (and I typically enjoy such movies intent)

Idiocracy.

Could not finish it.
Same basic reason.
Art too close to reality, and I get enough of that everyday.

Same for me!

Natural Born Killers actually gave me a migraine while watching it.
The other was too much like being at work.

Eraserhead. Did make it to the end, but never again.

The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo

Deeply disturbing on so many levels.

I second this. I still remember walking home from the theater in Austin in kind of a daze. That was about 40 years ago.

And second place goes to Eraserhead.

It's not that I just don't like Lynch's work, it's that it's not all good.

Never had a problem with Blue Velvet. While it is a David Lynch movie so weird will be included, you could follow the plot and there was a payoff.

I can't say the same for Lost Highway. Mulholland Drive I can track if I use the theory that the first 2/3rd of the movie was a dream, but Inland Empire was filmed on the trashiest digital cameras in history where you couldn't see anything through the digital noise.

Open Water.

I concur.

Caligula, with Malcolm McDowell. Came out in 1979. weird disgusting movie. Made it about 3/4s way through and it turned off. Was a VHS rental

I'd love to see a Making Of... for that film. It started out as a serious piece about Caligula but the production hit money troubles, got bailed out by Robert Guccione of Penthouse fame, and basically turned it into a porn film.

Hellraiser came to mind.

“A clockwork orange” was creepy…somehow it reminded me of “Brazil”, but maybe I saw them both around the same time. And there were a few where the director placed you in the subconscious - “The Cell”, and the one where Robin William’s wife committed suicide, and he goes looking for her- “What Dreams may come”.I didn’t like those imaginings, if you can understand what I mean.

So mostly movies where the mind trickery or confusion is involved..that being said, I love a good sci-fi movie.

Sin City. I can't look at Elijah Wood the same after seeing that movie.

All three of the Ginger Snaps movies from Canada.

Never watched the Daniel Craig version but the 6 hour Swedish mini-series - while disturbing - is extremely well done and covers Stieg Larssen's entire Millennium Trilogy

The Road

Read the book, want nothing to do with the movie.

Because I cannot tolerate violence where children are involved, the first one that came to mind was Pet Sematary due to it's depiction of the couples dead child resurrected as a zombie-like monster that they must now purposely kill themselves.
Shot through the heart was just another war movie until a young child, sitting on her front step, is killed by s sniper.
Mama, because the two girls under the influence of the Witch are the same ages as my granddaughters were when I saw it.
I will not watch these again and cannot recommend them.

Under the heading of (simply) 'Disturbing':
The Forgotten
The Babadook
Jacob's Ladder
Frailty
A Clockwork Orange
30 Days of Night

The Lighthouse was one of those movies that comes to mind and was the most recent where I asked myself, "What did I just watch?"

Brazil is one that is just plain weird and I expected more from a movie with Robert DeNiro in it.

Event Horizon did not end well either. I'm not into horror gore either.

The Serpent and the Rainbow was another one that disturbed me in my youth.

There are a few others I can't think of right now.

This. Definitely the most disturbing film I have seen. I do not wish to see it again.

Leaving Las Vegas just came to mind.

Any of the Terrifier franchise
