Movies that disturb you :(

[Rennah]

I looove scary & disturbing movies. (Saw, Wolf Creek, The Strangers, etc)
I've seen (& enjoyed) most of the movies you all have listed, but now I want to see all the other listed ones I haven't seen yet!

There is only one movie I am afraid to watch: The Exorcist.
When I was a kid, I went to the children's library, and there was a book about horror movie makeup with lots of pictures. I read it, and was fine until I turned to The Exorcist pictures... I had nightmares afterwards! (just from seeing a picture of the possessed girl)

Funny Games did make me feel weird afterward. It was not as enjoyable as any other horror movie I've seen. If you read about it, you'll find that is exactly what the filmmakers wanted. They want to make viewers think.

Oh...gosh...I'm glad I didn't see that one.

The one I'm thinking of was called "The Fog" I got confused.

I've mentioned in other posts that I am a horror nerd. The genre has appealed to me from a very young age and it's practically all I watch. I have yet to find a movie that scares and/or disturbs me (this is what disturbs my mother), so I will share a friend's story...

One of my good friends was terrified for the longest time of the Texas Chainsaw Massacre (original). At a young age she saw the cover of the movie (she never actually saw the film, just the cover) and she was seriously scared for life (she was born and lived for a brief time in Texas, so I think that's why it affected her so much). You were not allowed to mention TCM to her without her freaking out, and don't even get me started on any sort of chainsaw noises.

Rennah - The Exorcist is definitely worth watching. Two Halloweens ago my dad, the friend I mentioned above, and I saw it at a special screening and I will forever remember that experience.

I had seen the movie a few times before, but there was one scene that I'd never seen and it came on and I was jumping for joy on the inside (I probably looked like someone who just won a large sum of money).

What kinda shit was that??

Oh god, you too with The Excorism of Emily Rose? That shit still disturbs me. To this day I freak out. When I seen the trailer in theatres I almost crapped myself. I remember afterwards all I kept doing was thinking about the stupid trailer. Then, when the movie finally came out I started doing research about it because I heard it was based on a true story... that was the worst I could do to myself. I couldn't sleep for weeks, I couldn't tell people about it either because they would have thought I was insane lol. Finally, the only way I figured I could face my fears would be to watch it... even worse. I got halfway through it and freaked out so bad.

I can't watch anything with the devil.. it just scares the hell out of me. This movie was the most disturbing.. I've never seen The Exorcist in it's entirety, I don't plan on it either.


Now, there's this movie called The haunting in Connecticut? Has anyone seen the trailer for that? It's based on true events. When will they stop with this shit? lol.

 

[Rennah]

I saw The Exorcism of Emily Rose at the movie theater.
It really wasn't that scary (besides all the demonic voices... that part was creepy)!

I do believe that demon possession can really happen.

Once, a girl I went to middle school apparently had to be exorcised. She was Roman Catholic and she had to go back to her home country (The Azores) for a priest to get the demons out of her. Then she came back to school...

I saw that movie when i was like 8!! My dad and i used to have movie nights when i was little, and i used to watch fairly grown up films with him. But i was getting so scared i remember him pausing it and telling me he;d turn it off if i wanted to. Ofcourse i had to be a badass and insisted he finish it. Well, i hid under the blanket. All i remember is them finding a body and Blair Underwood saying that he was castrated.... I didnt even know what that meant, but i figured it out!

That movie was my frist date with my boyfriend! He thought i would like it because it was zomibe comedy and im SO scared of zombie movies. Well, i liked it.... up until that guy's visera was being eaten.
Another SCARY movie was 28 days later. I had SO many nightmares because of that. The way the infected movie was so unnatural, jerking and squick. They were just so savage and the infection happened so quickly. ugggh.

The ring scared the crap outof me. i have no closet doors, and my bed is right in front of my closet, so i kept picturing that girl, hiding dead in the closet. Also, the scene with teh horses was freaky and sad. Overall, the movie was SO unsettling.

The exorcist was the first horror movie i had ever seen. I saw it in grade 2 at a friend's bday party. Her mom (who is from the Phillipines) asked what a good scary movie was, and the guy at the store suggested it. Well, we were scared alright. i had to sleep in my parents room for like 3 nights.

Another Distrubing movie, one hour photo. Man robin williams, that is some messed up shit!

The best scary/disturbing movie i've ever seen is a Quebecois movie Called "Sur le Seuil" (translation is "On the threshold") If you can find a subtitled version, or if you speak French, i HIGHLY suggest you watch it. There a couple gorey scenes. Nothing they linger on too long, but its just SO well done. The story is very well writen.

If you wanna be probably more freaked out than disturbed then my vote would go to The Entity. It's from the early eighties and my mum said it was waaaay freaky so when I went to a big slumber party and we rented some videos I said we should get that one. None of us slept that night we all were sh*tting ourselves.

The freaky thing about this movie is that its based on a true story! Dollface I think you'd love it. Here's the plot summary:-

Carla Moran awakens one night to find herself being beaten and raped by an unseen presence. Terrified of what's happening to her, and shunned by friends and family who think she's lost her mind, she seeks help from parapsychologists. The researchers soon discover that evil spiritual force has been drawn to Carla and is responsible for the violent attacks. The question now, however, is how do they stop it?

Ooh, I'll have to look into that one, it sounds interesting.

I always say that I got my love for horror from my dad because I remember being really young and seeing a bit of The Shining when he had it on television; it's never left my memory (which is quite rare for me because I have some memory troubles).

My dad has a seriously unbelievable story about when he went to see The Exorcist; whenever the topic of that film comes up the story has to be told.

I was pleasantly surprised by The Exorcism of Emily Rose. I am very picky about what PG-13 horror films I'll go see (because lets face it, a majority suck) and I thought that one was quite good; Jennifer Carpenter was amazing with the voices and body contortion she was able to achieve without effects.

 

[rockin26]

You know The Exorcist didn't bother me until they released the never before seen footage and there was that part where Regan is walking in a backwards arch down the stairs on her finger tips in fast forward! I swear that gave me chills.

 

[MiCHiE]

Creepshow ruined me for life. If I hadn't seen that movie, I *might* not be so deathly afraid of roaches.....but NOOOOO I can't even go to bed if I know one is crawling around somewhere.

It is not scary like The Exorcist scary, but very disturbing. It's the only movie that truly disturbed me at this age. The other movies are those japanese/korean horror flicks of women with long hair and rotten faces.. hate those movies, typical shock tactics, but they never fail to keep me awake at night. Ugh.

Oh girl, I know exactly what you are talking about. I read some reviews and me being the nerd that I am; I just watched it. Very, very very disturbing D= It truly was disturbing and what made it really give me the chills was the fact that I don't think a lot of that was acting. I know some of it was but I'm not sure about some of it...

And seriously, omg guys. I don't get freaked out easily, or disturbed easily but one movie that just took the cake was Salo, O 120 Days of Sodom. It just really, really got to me. I wasn't able to eat for twelve hours

What they do the the characters in the movie is just beyond cruel. Ugh...thinking about it makes my stomach wretch. I think what made this movie the most disturbing was the fact that shit like that actually DID happen in real life, and it was based on reality back then.

Freaks (1932) was really good I thought, a little disturbing the first time I watched it but now I really love it.

I SAW THAT ONE!!! OMG, long ago....it kinda scared me, the way they show the entity raping her...

There is a movie I forgot to list, and I can't believe I forgot it. I've watched it about 10 times. I love it.

American History X, with Edward Norton (hottie) and Edward Furlong (nother hottie). It disturbed me, but for a different reason. It also made me cry.

I can't watch anything with aliens or demons if I'm alone. Some shows I love are Paranormal State on A&E, Ghost Hunters (used to watch it, at least), things like that. And any alien/satan/posession documentary on Discovery or TLC.

I just can't watch em alone...I get REALLY freaked out.

I totally get that. Anytime I see something disturbing I instantly seek out something either happy and silly or something funny. I have to get those bad images out of my head.

Oh my god. That movie is soo creeepy and Blair is soooo creepy in that role. He was castrated. He raped and killed the little girl. I just can't. I'm getting upset just typing it. I love him to death but I have seen him play dark characters a few times now and he does it toooo well for my taste.

The ending is actually a lot more disturbing that that, to me anyway.
The main character and four others (one of which was his 8 year old son) make it out of the supermarket they've been holed up in. They try to drive out of the mist, but the car runs out of petrol (gas). They have a gun with only four bullets left. So they decide to take their own lives rather than be killed by the monsters in the mist. But there aren't enough bullets, so the main guy shoots each of them in turn, and then gets out of the car to face the monsters. However, suddenly the mist stars clearing and the military appear. He realises he has killed his son and the others only moments before they would have been rescued.

What was also disturbing to me was how religious paranoia takes hold of some of the people when in the supermarket, which, coupled with the extreme circumstances being lived, made normal people commit horrible acts.

Sorry for the rambling paragraph!!!

I have to second Monster as a disturbing film, and also 28 days later, but only at the end, when the soldiers think they have the right to rape the two women.

Basically anything horrible that could actually happen in real life...

 

[luvsic]

omg I so didn't expect this thread to take off!! lol

well, i don't remember any other movies that disturbed me that much....

Did you guys hear they're making a sequel to Donnie Darko? Richard Kelly said he wasn't going to be involved in it at all but it looks TERRIBLE.

The trailer made me just feel like

On the plus side, Daveigh Chase is reprising her role as Samantha...

See for yourself:

YouTube - S. Darko (Official Trailer in Sparkle Motion HD)

It's full of fail if you ask me..

 

[florabundance]

In terms of scary films...anything with child ghosts freaks me the fuck out.

But also films like Changeling...with disturbed serial killer type story lines leave me like

wow, I came to this thread to post exactly that; child ghosts and movies that show very dark side of human nature, like Changeling and also another one that creeped me out was Blindness

 

[chiquilla_loca]

horror movies are my fav, but i never seem to enjoy Rob Zombie movies
like House of 1000 Corpses.

 

[BEA2LS]

i like this thread.. scary movies don't scare me though and i am picky about them (I prefer halloween to anything new, but i did love the strangers).
movies that disturb me more are the ones that are really screwed up,
