Movies that disturb you :(

[DOLLface]

The redo of Let the Right One In is sadly still alive.

I heard awhile back that it was on the brink of not happening, but as of now it's still on. I don't believe it's started filming, but it has a release date of January 2010.

I am dying to read the book, but it's not carried at my local Barnes & Noble and I haven't checked at other book stores yet.

I just watched Zombie's Halloween and I really liked it. He did a great job staying true to the original, but at the same time making it modern and adding new dimensions to the classic. I was pleasantly surprised by the acting and the way he developed the characters was wonderful. The thing I think Zombie does well is making you think the violence is more explicit than it truly is. The only issue I had was that I felt his additions added, along with not filling, holes in the story. I also became annoyed everytime Dr. Loomis spoke, which I don't know if I can really blame him for.

Tomorrow I will be watching Quarantine and sometime later in the week I will watch The Strangers.

yup, after watching the movie you could tell that Zombie really wanted to pay tribute to the original but also wanted to make it his own. Like I said, I really enjoyed the movie for what it is but there a few things that I wasn't a big fan of - mainly young Michael. The kid playing him did a good job, but to me part of the mystery of Michael is that we know very little of him.. in the original his family seemed normal.. just another family in small town America, it made you wonder why this little boy was filled with so much evil.

awesome! I love The Strangers

I was just watching it last night in fact. HBO has been showing it recently.. I've heard good things about the movie Them, which is supposed to be the original version - i've been trying to look for a copy of it but still no luck! I've only seen the trailer so far and it does look quite similar.

I had meant to watch Them awhile back, but completely forgot about it. Thanks for the reminder.

The Strangers has been in my Netflix queue for quite sometime, but I kept moving others things in front of it. I did notice that it has been on HBO, but I decided to go with the unrated dvd just in case in has any extra special, creepy scenes not included in the R version.

I watched a movie a while ago that totally fucked me up for a week or two Excuse my french.
I thought it was called Disturbed but i just googled them and it looks like it might not have been? neither of the movies coming up match it... OK nvm checked my mysapce and it's called "Broken"
it's the 2006 version here:Broken (2006/III)

I got it out before i was actually 18 and they didn't even bat an eyelash (it's R18+ here)
I wish they had man, i watched it with a friend and we were both sittingon the edge of my couhc watching it going WTF WTF WTF WTF but its one of those films you can't turn off, kind of like how people are drawn to look at a car crash even though its so horrible?

uuuuugggghhhhhhhhhh!
and the ending is SO EFFED Up
*shudders*

Eden Lake. If you ever want to feel completely depressed and disgusted at the same time, watch that.

 

[kaylabella]

Hard Candy was disturbing, but awesome!
Other movies that are disturbing to me are Teeth (it's basically about a girl with a killer vah-jay-jay. -shudders-), Untraceable freaked me out, there were too many twisted ways of killing people, and the fact that people were watching others being killed online? Ew.
The Cell has basically haunted me since I was younger, going inside serial killers' minds, not so good for a 10 year old kid. Freaky stuff.

I do want to see Let the Right One In! My friend's grandma recommended it to me. lol. And I am a sucker for vampires.

^^^ That's on my list of movies to watch. Japanese films are so crazy...Have you seen "the suicide club"?

 

[OfficerJenny]

Just saw Wolf Creek. Not nearly as disturbing as I was expecting, but still pretty fucked up.

not exactly a movie, but I just saw this really disturbing video online.. if you're familiar with the shock films like 2girls1cup, the one I just saw is like a thousand times worse - the most horrific thing I've ever seen in my life.

Honestly I'm still shaken up about it

I regret having ever watched it..

anyway, I saw Halloween 2 last week and thought it was really good. I enjoyed it more than the first one.. looking forward to finally seeing District 9 later this week.

Now I'm all curious and junk.

I did not like Halloween 2.. i am a huge halloween fan (all but halloween 3 of course.. wtf was that??? and i do not like H20 or anything after neither) but i did enjoy the first remake. i did not love it but i respected it because rob zombie respected halloween. the second one, not so much.. i will buy it because i have all of them on DVD and I kind of need it

My favorite halloweens are halloween 2 (original), halloween 5 and halloween 6

 

[romi79_2008]

House of wax, I can`t forget how they tried to take the wax of from the face of their friend and the skin came off too
Saw , Hostel lately I stay away from them rather see positive movies because I saw quite a few creepy movies in the lasts years and I rather relax when I watch a movie than get scared

 

[MissCrystal]

I won't post a link to the video here, but if you're curious to know it has to do with the Dnepropetrovsk maniacs.

a comment on youtube said - the video took my soul and ripped it apart. I want my soul back. I feel the same way

 

[ShesNoGhost]

I watched a reaction video for it on youtube and I'm thinking I'm probably gonna pass on this since it's real. I hope my curiosity doesn't get the better of me, though. I can take the most horrific, terrible things being done in movies and be fine, but when it's real life....it's just...really scary.

 

[alka1]

well it looks like I killed this thread after my post on the shock video..

in an effort to revive this thread, I'd like to encourage you to run (don't walk) to your nearest movie theatre and watch Zombieland. 2 very big thumbs up

I went in not knowing what to expect, turned out to be one of the best movies I have seen this year. Smart, funny, scary, excellent effects and the best cameo ever. Go see it!

on a separate note, I saw Sorority Row.. ok, I understand why it tanked in the box office (Rumer Willis and the girl from The Hills?) but it was actually quite entertaining. Not the best movie ever, but had some good scenes and some really hilarious moments throughout the movie. worth renting at least

 

[DOLLface]

I'm so excited to go see Zombieland. Most of my family is on board to see it with me.

I missed Sorority Row because I wanted to watch the original before the remake and it kept getting moved down in my Netflix queue. I'll finally get around to watching it during my crazy viewing schedule for October or as I like to call it, the most wonderful time of the year (in a sing-song voice, of course).

I just watched The Descent and High Tension this weekend. The Descent was ok, but I was expecting more from it. High Tension was amazing and I highly recommend it, especially if you are a bit of a gore hound.
