House Of 1000 Corpses by Rob Zombie was sick. He has problems.

AGREE!!! The Virgin Suicides was the most disturbing movie that I have ever seen. I mean what were they thinking when they came up with that. How depressing.

I must give it to my friend who got me with that one though. Since I hadnt heard of it, she was hyping it up talking about how good it was and all I could do while I was watching it was

.

She was laughing sooooooo hard. It was cool though, but I never wanna see that again.

The Virgin Suicides was a book before it was a movie, actually. I think it might have been one of those stories that worked well as a book but was too disturbing to put into a more visual form.

For the record, I hated the book but I know a lot of people who loved it.

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

I was waiting for someone to mention this movie. I was in shock for weeks after watching it. THIS MOVIE WAS SICK AND PURPOSELESS.

Also, I love American History X, but the scene with the curb made me sick. Literally.

Ha, yeah I watched American Psycho with this guy I liked at the time... he really likes the movie... I wasn't really paying that much attention to the movie because I was a little nervous since I liked this guy... but from what I saw I totally didn't understand it-- it was really weird.

I don't know what's more disturbing, the movie or someone who loves it. I would RUN from any man who likes that movie.

There was a lot in the book that didn't make it into the movie. The girls are more differentiated and in the movie they're all basically ciphers except for Kirsten Dunst.

I also think that you have to be over a certain age (LOL) to really get certain things in the book...I know that there were parts that I was like "oh wow!" but that if you are too young to remember it, it might not have the same resonance.

The all time shittiest book-to-movie translation though, has to be Endless Love. The book is a masterpiece, and the movie....well, Brooke Shields was the star. Need I say more?

Yes there is a Ringu 3. It's supposed to be a trilogy. I wonder how much anyone can make a continuation of that when the people who've seen already know what it's really about. The Ring scared the living daylights out of me! A movie that comes close to the level I was freaked out has to be The Shining. I still get chills.

Arlington Road...yes it was very disturbing but I loved it too! So many twists and turns and the ending...oh my goodness. I always wanted to know how it all turned out the way it did but I guess it's one of those things no one ever asks. You just have to take it at face value that things just happened the way it did.

I loved Vanilla Sky. It's one of those thinking movies filled with intensity. Same with Dark City if anyone ever saw that one.

I just saw Stephen King's Storm of the Century and the ending was really disturbing...well not really the entire ending but at the last half hour or so. The movie reminded me a lot of the short story The Lottery by Shirley Jackson.

I forgot to add Once Were Warriors and Better Luck Tomorrow.

pretty woman is disturbing
somewhere out there, there's a hooker turning tricks
and hoping that she'll end up like 'julia roberts and the prince charming at the end'

That reminds me of an old Mad magazine parody of Grease. At the end Sandy says "In order to get the man you love...you have to be a slut! What a wonderful message for the youth of America!"

Pretty Woman was originally called $3000 and had a much darker ending, but got Disneyfied. Bleah.

That is a movie as well. It's only about 30mins long but I watched it in high school and was in a daze for the rest of the day. I was blown away.

My list:
The Ring- I was in a brightly lit room w/ people walking in and out and talking while I watched this and it still freaked me out. Visually, that was an AMAZING film. The images from the "movie" are haunting. Specifically the woman combing her hair in the mirror. That one always pops into my head for some reason, and I freak out.
Apocalypse Now
A Clockwork Orange
Silence of the Lambs
Dancer In The Dark- I cried, the end is so messed up it's disturbing.
The Craft-I guess because my name is Sarah and I had a friend named Nancy that creeped me out...
Swing Kids- About the Hitler Youth. Before I watched it, I'd had no idea any of that existed.

I thought of another one due to the TCM Gregory Peck marathon - On the Beach. It's about nuclear war. There's nothing graphic in it at all, but man, does it mess with your brain, especially the last scene. Do not watch it alone in the dark before going to bed.

I read that book in high school, but I only vaugly remember what it's about.
