Jacob’s Ladder was mentioned, it’s definitely on my list. Rented it on VHS from Blockbuster Eek
Fire in the Sky creeps me the hell out.

Thought of another one,

Pink Floyd - The Wall - I had a friend/roommate who turned me onto the album. He would play it regularly, and some of the songs grew on me. After watching the film and the imagery associated w/ the songs, they lost all appeal to me.

I have yet to see any movie that disturbed me such that I would never watch it again. Some of the more intense movies I have watched though are as follows in no particular order:

The Road
Hereditary
Midsommar
We Need to Talk About Kevin
Smile
Happiness
Lake Mungo
Primer
Coherence
Annihilation
Prisoners
Lolita
Gummo
Nymphomaniac Volume 1 & 2
I Saw The Devil
The Human Centipede
Requiem For A Dream
Mother!


Honorable mention to Doctor Sleep for the child murder scene which is disturbing not because of how they kill him which is done supernaturally but because Jacob Tremblay’s performance is off the charts. Kid sounds like he’s being killed for real. Amazing performance by him.

There are some movies with reputations that precede them that I have not seen and am not sure that I would but you never know.

A Serbian Film
Salo or 120 Days In Sodom
Cannibal Holocaust
Pretty Baby
Audition
Martyrs
The Girl Next Door
Terrifier (any of them)

The Crying Game.

I sit down with the wife back in the day to watch some kind of romance flick she says she's heard was good. Okay, I'll take a bullet and earn some points. Halfway through they have the bedroom scene, dude goes to pull her pants off, and out of her panties flops a trout. She was a he!! The character in the movie starts puking because he had no idea, and I start screaming "where's the %#@* remote??"

Ew.

"Misery" It took me 20 years before I could watch another Cathy Bates film or show.

Every single one of them deserved their gruesome fate. So satisfying to watch.

Not sure what would be disturbing or bizarre about this one. I thought it was kind of fun, and Elisha Cuthbert is smoking hot.

I was puzzled by that one too, since I like that movie, until I researched other movies that share the same title. I'm betting Gustofer was referring to one from 2007, where The Girl Next Door is an adolescent who is routinely abused, tortured, & raped. What's worse is that it was loosely based on a the true crime case of Sylvia Likens. Reading either the film synopsis or about Sylvia Likens will make you sick and fully understand why it's disturbing. Frown

Another one for me is Game of Thrones. In the first episode there is a child character that was thrown off the castle. I'm told that character survived but I never watched another episode. That kid was around the age of my youngest, and it just hit me wrong.

Phantasm. Scared the shit out of me as a young teen. The Tall Man and the flying silver sphere drilling into foreheads and sucking out brains.

Surprised no one mentioned any of the SAW movies.

The first one I really liked and I thought was pretty good. Made it thru the second one but after that, they just really got to be disturbing to me.

I have seen some messed up stuff in real life, accidents and their results. I guess the older I have gotten I just don't have the tolerance for the torture and suffering.

I think for me its typically more often depressing movies i.e. The Road or Schindlers List, that I dont come back to unless prompted.

There are, however, some horror movies that turn into murder porn that I very much dislike the spirit of, and that's coming from someone who likes Bone Tomahawk quite a bit though it is certainly grizzly, especially towards the end.

For me, stuff like The Hills Have Eyes (a new one; I haven't seen the old one) or the newest Halloween disgusts me in ways that other stuff in technically the same genre do not. I think there is an attempt to push boundaries and fly in the face of established taboos that drive people to make strange things. Or it's an unintentional peek inside their minds, which may show deviancy or things they are scared of and need to lay out to get past.

Yeah, in that regard Passion of the Christ falls in that category. It's not a scary film, but I'm just as happy I saw it once and only once.
