I just saw the most disturing films ever. I think it was called Canibal Holocaust. Very disturbing indeed. I don't recomend anyone with weak stomach to see it. Couple of my friends actually left the room cause they were sickened by it.

I can't help but cringe every time I think about "The Shining".

We watched a movie in my Asian Studies class and it was part of the "Lone Wolf and Cub" series. I'm not sure if any of you are familiar with samurai movies, but "Lone Wolf and Cub" is about a man (who I think used to be a high ranking samurai or officer or whatever) who travels around with his infant son fighting all these evil people from different towns. Anyway, the baby's stroller is fully equipped to hurt, maim, dismember, kill...whatever. Swords shoot out of nowhere...you get the drift.

I'm fine with those slasher flicks because to me they're not too graphic. "Lone Wolf and Cub" just seems too realistic with the blood spurting out and body parts flying everywhere.

I couldn't believe I subjected myself to watching that. A few girls in class had to leave to use the bathroom.

Without a doubt:

Kids
Trainspotting
The Cell

After I watched Kids I just sat there sort of afraid to move. It was so sick. I felt like I needed a shower or maybe to wash my brain of the disgusting images in that movie. It actually made me FEEL dirty...

Trainspotting because it was just brutally honest and didn't hold anything back...(the baby scene...).


The Cell because of the absolute psychotic sickness of that serial killer and the way he tortured and killed them...the "dream" sequences with the robotic "Tool" video looking doll-things were beyond creepy too.

My picks
 

I think the most disturbing movies I've ever watched have been:

-American History X: Wow, this movie was amazing. Very very good, but so scary, and so sad. I couldn't stop crying, even after it was over.
-IT: Does anyone out there actually ENJOY this movie? It's so f-ing scary.
-Candyman: I'm sorry but this movie was just so violent and so gross, I couldn't go to the bathroom by myself after this and I've been afraid of the dark ever since
-Silence of the Lambs: Also very scary and disturbing and the whole "night-vision goggles", yea that just completely reinforced my fear of the dark
-Virgin Suicides: Oh my. I don't even have any words to explain how I felt after watching this.

Others include:
8MM (yuck, yuck, yuck) and also A Beautiful Mind.....I thought that was an AMAZING movie, but it seemed too real, and even though I absolutely loved it, I don't think I'm emotionally strong enough to ever watch it again....:(

Was this an innercity documentary?

yeah, following the lives (mainly) of two groups, a group of guys, another of girls.....you REALLY should see it.

kids is not a documentary

you're right, forgive me...but it oddly does (in my opinion) have a VERY documentary feel to it...like it exists somewhere between a documentary and a typical movie...

i think i saw part of kids a long time ago, but i can't remember it being that disturbing, so now i am actually wondering if it really was that movie, or a totaly different one...?!:confused:

you REALLY need to see the last scene with the knowledge you gain about the girl earlier in the film...then shower your eyes...

Re: About the Circus Midgets...
 

Yes it was, thank you. It has been a few years since I have seen it so I don't remember most of it.

Remarks on the movies mentioned:
Kids was disturbing to me when I saw it. Now I don't know if I would find it all that shocking. Says something no? The movie was very disturbing for it's time, and made me VERY happy not to be sexually active!

Clockwork Orange- I wanted to wash my mind out after I saw that movie. UGH. THere's a bar downtown that is modeled on the one in the movie though, I had to laugh the first time I went there. Fugly decor, GREAT drinks.

The Shining- I LOVE that movie

Full Metal Jacket - I LOVE this one too. Yay Kubrick! ALthough Eyes Wide Shut put me to sleep...


My list:
Seven
The Care Bears Movie- I couldn't sleep for a week when I was six, lol....
Leprechaun in THe Hood- Disturbing because it is the worst, most brain dead, apallingly bad piece of film I have EVER seen. ice T stars.

And on a serious note, a movie that made me really change was Philadelphia- I cried SO hard during this movie. It really just changed the way I saw AIDS.
Most of mine have been mentioned I think. I

Oh..and an if you are looking for an indie flick, Cecil B Demented is a really odd film. It leaves you feeling triumphant on the side of evil. Kinda screws with your value system if not mock it.

One that disturbed me and made me feel like I lost 2 hours of my life: "American Psycho."

Crazy stuff there, especially when he's naked and running around with the chainsaw.

Did anyone mention The Blaire Witch? Most of the movie was blah, but the last five minutes were pretty disturbing.
