I finally got around to watching American Psycho a few weeks ago and I loved it so much that I watched it about three more times in the following week. It has already become one of my favorites.

I even got my mom to watch some of it, which is not an easy task because like you, she is somewhat of a delicate flower (and I think my dad told her that it was a really sick movie).

Has anyone read the book?

I don't know why guys, but I did it again....my friend insisted we watch a scary movie and now I blame her for all of the nightmares I'm going to be having for the next week.

I watched QUARANTINE with her...oh my god...I seriously wanted to throw up after watching it. That, or burst into tears. It was so realistic even though I was covering my eyes over half the time I caught glimpses of stuff and I heard almost everything and I just wanted to huddle up in a ball and get transported to some happy place. Even though we watched Confessions of a Shopaholic afterwards all of the mental images were already burned into my head!!!

That's it, I've determined it. I can't do scary movies. I was covering my eyes and plugging my ears for 90% of the movie and still am getting scared over it! I officially am DONE with this stuff!

Oh dear...I watched about three seconds of Begotten on youtube and now I'm too afraid to turn off the lights and go to bed. ;-; Perhaps I'll try during the day.

Right im a bit of a sicko who likes disturbing films...

The hands down most disturbing films ever are

Jacobs ladder

Salo

Old boy

Cannibal haulocaust.

It

 

[MarsG]

Bad Boy Bubby --> sick movie

 

[Dreamergirl3]

@Girl About Town, I saw Cannibal Holocaust the other week. Seriously disturbing. I felt sick afterward. But I absolutely see the point they were trying to make. The journalists/documentarians were more disgusting than the cannibals could ever be. Definitely one of the most disturbing films I've seen. It was also sad to find out the animals they killed were really killed on film :/

Yes!!! especially when we have frequent tornado warnings and that's the same siren sound we hear!


and someone also mentioned Alice, Sweet Alice, loved that old spooky movie!
and there's not a lot that will phase me cause i've been watching scary movies & episodes of Hitchcock since I was young.

 

[SingFrAbsoltion]

Salo was probably the worst one I've seen. I kind of regretted watching it, but it in the end I know I wouldn't have passed it up any way, I get too curious. I'm already planning on watching some of the movies mentioned in here haha

 

[revinn]

Uh, Audition. Freakin' awesome movie, but definitely not for the faint of heart.

 

[LMD84]

i watched the strangers and that freaked me out. i really don't like the whole 'based on a true story' things and killings just for the sake of it. oddly i thoughtit was a ghost story when i rented it! doh!!

in answer to your question, nah i do not think he did know.

 

[SingFrAbsoltion]

There's been a lot of buzz about this movie:

Antichrist (2009)

Some love it and some hate it, it's definitely supposed to be very disturbing and the cinematography looks amazing. I'll probably watch it and probably regret it at first but my curiosity always gets the best of me.

 

[DOLLface]

Antichrist looks very interesting.

If I remember correctly, IFC has the rights to release it in the US, so it will most likely get a limited theatrical release and it will also be viewable through IFC On-Demand.

I really hope it makes it's way to my town because a new theater just opened that's supposed to show a wider range of movies (independent, foreign, etc.).

I saw the new Orphan movie earlier today.. overall it was great - really well done suspense/horror movie. the intro to the movie was quite disturbing and uncomfortable to watch..

the acting was spot-on, especially by the kids - OMG the kids did an amazing job! I wish they could get some recognition for this but we all know horror flicks rarely get any awards. and the ending! the ending was just awesome and soo creepy.

go see this!

 

[nunu]

I saw Teeth a few days ago and i'll add it to the list..

i wanna see this movie sooo badly!

If you haven't already, go see Orphan (like right now)!!!

I finally made it to a morning showing (I like to see movies when few will be there) and I can honestly say it's probably one of the best main stream, big budget horror films I've ever seen (if you read my rant several posts ago, you'll know how I feel about modern American horror). Everything was well done - the acting, the way it was shot, the story. It was also perfectly disturbing.

I don't want to give anything away because I think it's better to go into this movie not knowing any extra details than what is given in the trailer. I stayed away from reviews and if you plan on seeing Orphan I recommend you do the same.

So, last night I watched Shadow of the Vampire, which I've had out from Netflix since the beginning of the month. It was very good and if you've ever seen Nosferatu (1922) you should see this. The reason I bring this up is because in the special features they include the trailer for Begotten (both are directed by E. Elias Merhige). Of course I watched it, but I'm still not sure how I feel about it (and it was only the trailer).
