Shows/Movies that disturb you

July 07, 2017, 06:42 PM

Any commercial from the ASPCA. I just can't watch them. I hit "previous" on the remote as soon as they come on even if I have to run in from the other room. Seeing what people do to animals just kills me.

God put man at the top of the food chain so we could sustain ourselves and advance as a race; not so we could abuse those creatures below us.

I can generally do without demon clowns/dolls/children. The Grudge and the Ring come to mind.

@ LastCubScout... honestly I'm not sure why I keep trying to watch The Walking Dead. I'm sitting here watching the episode when Rick's little boy gets shot and can't answer that. It draws me in, I'm tired of watching cartoons (little girl), there's nothing else on TV I watch but FOX news...but it really bums me out too. I suspect I'll quit again.

The movie Seven.

The Road was pretty disturbing.

I like to watch the ID channel & forensic files. The second a case shows up involving children, I turn the channel. Cannot stomach bad things happening to kids. I am glad homicde detectives can do that job!

Hi,
I second "Schindler's List" and "Saving Private Ryan"; once was enough for each. I'll add "Criminal Minds"; just too much gruesome evil depicted.
I have to agree about the ASPCA commercials, as well.
Some of the "Forensic Files" episodes as well.

Dolls, especially china dolls, creep me out like few things. There's a horror movie about a possessed china doll, Annabelle, that I flat out refuse to watch. I won't even look at the trailer or promo pics.

Criminal Minds. Every time I give an episode a try on cable it creeps me out. Especially when kids are the victims.

My wife is a very smart woman, but for the life of me, I can not understand why she watches them. If I am in the room for more than 30 seconds with one, I want to shove screwdrivers in my ears.

I'll add Braveheart to the list...I enjoy most of the movie but I can't watch the end when Wallace is tortured before being killed...I guess it's because he made the choice not to submit and ask for mercy and die quickly. It really got to me.

Yep, Braveheart torture scene and The Deer Hunter for me as well. The first for the "physicality" of the scene and the second for the psychological affects.

I am as a prettt young kid when this show first aired and I remember an episode that had something to do with a red balloon leading people into bad situations. I don't remember the full details but something like a little kid followed a red balloon onto some railroad tracks and was hit by a train.
Out inside of the red balloon and train I do not remember the details and am not sure why as a kid this episode freaked me out so bad.
I am now a grown man and have added The X Files to my list on Netflix yet I still can't bring myself to watch it.

That episode is titled "The Calusari." Wikipedia has an entry about it if you want to refresh your memory.

Horror/"gorno" disturbs me. Stuff like "A Serbian Film" I refuse to watch.

Game of Thrones has taken images of disturbing brutality, casual viciousness and every form of human vice and madness to very nearly an art form.

^ I remember the first time I saw the trailer for Annabelle. I freaked out seeing the doll.

I recently reviewed The Circle but only got one reply to it. But the potential in real life shown in that movie scares me a lot.

I don't think I've seen that one. I'll have to check it out sometime.

I love Pulp Fiction but the scene in the basement of the pawn shop is pretty disturbing to me. Human depravity to the extreme.

I actually like war movies because they show heroic, selfless actions, and I think everyone should watch Schindler's List at least once just to understand the level of inhumanity man is capable of.

I can't stand suicide scenes. I have known two people who have done it and depictions of it really bother me.
