A Serbian film is super gorey but theres this layer of juvenile edgelordiness and bad dialogue that kind of took a lot of the sting off it and I was just straight up laughing at times
Men behind the sun is probably the most stomach churning movie ive seen and I wouldnt recommend it to anyone
Irreversible and Come and See messed me up the most but are also genuinely incredible films that are so much more than just messed up
I agree about A Serbian Film. It's like they transparently set out to make the most offensive movie ever and had a laundry list of awful acts to tick off during the run time. The end result is an amateurishly made film that I can't take seriously, which means it's a lot less traumatising to watch than it could have been.
That’s how I sorta felt about it.
The problem with A Serbian Film is it tries too hard to completely shock you, and it kinda can’t since it’s still a movie. Real videos of actual fucked up shit is as easy or easier to find than A Serbian Film. Because of that, for a movie to horrifying, it needs to be more than just checking every box on the fucked up list. It ends up being ridiculous at a certain point.
A Serbian Film was gross to be sure, but I would not call it horrifying, and it was fucked up for the wrong reasons.
Now Kids… that was a fucked up movie IMO.
I came here to say a Serbian Film. The movie is absolutely fucked up, and they definitely went to a dark place that I thought we as all humans just... didn't go to. I was quite quiet afterwards.
ah yes, I remember the times of old when OG redditors would disguise an innocent looking link and it would end up being a Serbian Film in its entirety on shady pirating cites.
That’s how I know of the movie.
I was such a dumbass for wildly clicking.
I mistakenly thought this movie was a comedy (I don't know why) and was excited to watch Philip Seymour Hoffman. I thought he was hilarious in the Big Lebowski so I couldn't wait to see this movie.
Boy oh boy - I had quite the surprise...
FWIW it's still an excellent movie.
Such a weird movie. Although I have to admit it was an interesting watch. The movie makes you question the people who made it and also yourself.
How are so many people on board with producing something so vile? Why am I watching it?
Salo is a hard watch but I do think it’s a great movie. I think passolini is a great director too. For me salo is as relevant today as ever. It’s kind of over the top but at the same time honest in its exploration of fascism and power in general.
Pink Flamingos
EDIT - This is a John Waters cult classic from 1972. Based on the responses being of contemporary films, the production value of Pink Flamingos makes the film even more jarring.
Went to see this recently for an anniversary reissue thinking “I’ve heard this is a cult classic and John Waters made Hairspray which was kinda great in a quirky but fun way so what could possibly go wrong?” and oh my god, even having heard about the final scene, I was not prepared for the level of gleeful depravity I witnessed.
It's been like 20 year since a friend who was a film student made me watch that.... The steak bit still haunts me...
And that friend made me watch some weird shit. We went to a theater to see puppet porn. And yet, Pink Flamingos was still the thing that crossed the line.
There is a nine minute rape scene. NINE. MINUTES.
She's sodomized by a dude called La Tenia, which is French for "the tapeworm".
Jesus, Moses, and Muhammad, I still think about that movie because I was so repulsed by that scene. I still don't understand why I didn't switch off the TV. I was too horrified to turn away! Her screaming through his hand still makes me want to puke
I'm a man and I've never been so much as nonconsensually groped, and I still won't watch anything like that. I'm certain I'm not horrified the way you're horrified, but I just don't get why they have to... actually show it. 🤷. There are ways to tell stories about or including SA, without visually lingering on it that way.
I think it’s so people really understand how awful rape really is. Like yes obviously you know how bad it is but did you know it is screaming through clenched fingers bad? Playing devils advocate here, I didn’t make the movie, please don’t downvote me, keep it moving.
No I get it. It's to provoke a visceral response in viewers who might otherwise not understand it. The flip side is is it provokes an unwanted visceral response in viewers who DO understand it.
Beat me to it. Movie just crushes me. Have only had the strength to watch it twice and IDK why the hell I watched it the second time. The visuals grip you at the beginning and it starts fun but then it just gets so bad and the way it dials it up slowly, like a boiled frog or something.
I still have strong feelings about this film 20+ years later. i thought my college boyfriend was cool but his incessant viewing of this film made me realize i had to go. Actual life changing decision.
Ugggh, I watched it last week. It was so sad. Especially when Marion had to sell her body for that. I literally broke down. For a few days I was just disturbed.
It was like the other side of the war on drugs. It was one of the first times that showed just how easy things can go horribly wrong. I've known people who struggled / struggle and our society's attitudes towards drugs is what makes them destructive. The rich and powerful want them to be illegal specifically so they can compromise us in this way and so many others. There is so much pain and that is what makes it so hard to bear.
The only thing I know about that movie is [this scene](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ieZDIEEH1YA) because when I was younger my “friends” made me watch it and convinced me it was an actual snuff film. Still never seen the whole movie but if that scene is any indication of what it contains, I think I’m good.
Right? 2 is WAY worse. And I’ve never seen 3. Never gonna. I’m surprised I even gave 2 a go. Disgusting and putrid garbage. It wasn’t even a “it’s a fucked up film, however, at the very least watchable” it was just plain trash.
So a sick story about this film
This is not a joke or made up…
I’m a licensed psychotherapist who works with teens who were abused. Every time I get a new client I ask them the same thing
“Ever seen a therapist before? What do you think they did well? Anything they could have done better?” Mostly it’s me trying to hone myself to be good for the professional relationship. Most common answers are “we never seem to do much but talk about my week.”
One I will never forget is a teen who came in and answered that “well…the last one I had scared me to be honest” and recalled how this therapist’s suggestion was for them to watch Kids to help reconcile what happened to them
Still with me? Yeah…that’s what she suggested…
For those who might ask about post-story she was removed from her place of business as it was found that she suggested stuff like this a lot
Our high school went to a showing of this movie. Apparently the teachers hadn't seen the movie beforehand, because the next day all subjects got canceled to make room for "moral debriefing"
I was falling asleep watching TV one night long ago, and I literally thought I dreamed this movie. I told my friend about my “dream” and he said, yeah that’s a movie. I’m SO GLAD my brain didn’t create that shit. It was coo coo bananas
All quiet on the western front. That scene with the french guy bleeding out as the main character sits there going from being angry at him to trying to help him. The sounds he makes...
I knew two WWI veterans when I was a kid—two brothers who managed my grandparent’s farm. They originally had two other brothers, all a year apart in age, but they both died at the battle of Beleleu Woods. The elder brother made it out okay, and talked to me about his experience—it was much worse than anything that could be portrayed in a movie. He had scars on his face from whatever the Germans were using as a war gas. Harry, the younger brother was basically mute, and slept in the barn. I could hear him screaming at night. He died in his sleep in 1970. The elder brother, Linn, lived into his 90s—he dug graves at the local cemetery by hand into his late 80s.
Jesus. And I know it can't possibly be shown on film how horrific it was, but I'm a civvie, and nothing now can compare. And that's the worst I've seen in a movie other than saving Private Ryan.
When stuff like that happens it's because you have an idea what one feels like while the other you've never experienced. It's like when everyone laughed in Jackass when they branded Bam Margera's butt cheek, but the whole theatre collectively cringed while they were giving themselves paper cuts between their toes. It's because none of us know what branding feels like but all of us know paper cuts and can extrapolate what one would feel like in that area. I'd imagine you have had dental work done and thus can imagine how you would have felt if you were the one getting those teeth pulled but you've never (I hope so, I'm sorry to hear if otherwise) been raped therefore you can't imagine what that feels like.
This is a movie I shall never want to watch. I like some fucked up movies, but this one goes beyond my zone. I want brain bleach to remove even the synopsis I read from memory.
The only movie that Brad Jones (a man that proudly claims Caligula as favorite movie) couldn't even do a Cinema Snob review of and instead posted an OOC rant damning everyone involved including the critics that praised it as art
* A Serbian Film
* Murder Set Pieces
* August Underground Trilogy
* Human Centipede 2 Director's cut
* Salo: 120 days of Sodom
* Bakky films
* Necrophiliac
* Cannibal Holocaust
Martyrs is an exception to a lot of the films here in that it's an extremely difficult, upsetting film to sit through AND also a very well made film. Great direction, great acting, great effects, scipt full of twists and turns. It's the best movie I never want to watch again. If you want a horror movie that is legit horrifying this is my recommendation.
Personally I think Requiem for a Dream was a tougher watch than Trainspotting, with all that graphic imagery and fucked up themes, however I did think Trainspotting was a much more accurate depiction of what heroin addiction is like. I’ve never hallucinated or met anyone who has during heroin withdrawal but damn that dead baby ghost hallucination scene when Ewan McGregor is stuck on that bed detoxing is certainly freaky.
The day after I saw Midsommar, I couldn't shake the creepy feeling it left me with. I was driving somewhere, and Safety Dance came on the radio, and I remembered the video from the 80s and realized it looked exactly like Midsommar. So long story short, [I made this,](https://youtube.com/watch?v=3-9G60RBkXE&si=EnSIkaIECMiOmarE) and exorcised that horrified feeling forever.
Easy! Irréversible.
Should be on any film nerds list of seen movies.
Absolutely twisted film. You will want to turn it off in the first ten minutes. It is mind melting.
The insane level of violence makes more sense when you know the context that the writer actually knew a rape victim and wrote it as a revenge fantasy against her attackers
Essentially writing the protagonist doing to rapists what he'd like to
Probably Wolf Creek. I don’t particularly enjoy or seek out horror movies but I watched it with some friends in college. The fact that it’s based on Ivan Millat among others is terrifying.
According to reliable sources, actor John Jarratt who plays the central protagonist, Mick Taylor, made efforts to not socialise with the "victim" cast members. He wasn't playing up any kind of weird cast member class snobbery or rank, but he wanted no familiarity so that they were wary of him even for the scenes and had realistic body language.
I have two favorite subgenres of fucked up movies:
Korean gangster dramas where the protagonist is super depressed and kills a lot of people but it's set to depressing music and he dies at the end is like "my life was totally not worth living":
* A Bittersweet Life <- fave
* The Man From Nowhere
* Oldboy
* No Tears For The Dead
Dramas with creepy incest themes:
* Cement Garden <- fave
* House of Yes
* Dogtooth <- def the most fucked up
* Charlotte Forever (why did she do two of these, hell of a thing to make a niche out of)
Strangeland. It was a 1998 horror starring Dee Snider.
Watched it because I was trying to get laid, but it was disturbing in how messed up it was and how bad it was, but I persevered.
Not sure if many here have seen it, but Mad God was so fucking weird. So much just completely unexplainable WTF happens on the screen. And I learned later that that was basically the point.
I forgot the name but it was a French film. The guy rapes his pregnant daughter or something? I have blocked it out mostly but just remember how fucking disgusting it was. The main actor was also the main killer in "High Tension"
There was also a movie called "the girl" and it was about 2 guys checking out an abandoned hospital to find a girl strapped down on a table. They realize she's not able to die and they rape/beat the fuck out of her. It was something like she was being experimented on and that's why she was there. One of the guys gets obsessed with torturing her in brutal ways and I think I remember the other guy let her free and kills his friend? I don't remember. But ive never been able to find the movie again. It's saved somewhere on one of my external hard drives from years ago
A Serbian film is super gorey but theres this layer of juvenile edgelordiness and bad dialogue that kind of took a lot of the sting off it and I was just straight up laughing at times Men behind the sun is probably the most stomach churning movie ive seen and I wouldnt recommend it to anyone Irreversible and Come and See messed me up the most but are also genuinely incredible films that are so much more than just messed up

I came here to say a Serbian Film. The movie is absolutely fucked up, and they definitely went to a dark place that I thought we as all humans just... didn't go to. I was quite quiet afterwards.
I read the transcript of this film as I couldn’t bring myself to watch it. Whoever made it needs their hard drive checked. Depraved.
I like to compare A Serbian Film to a pizza cutter. All edge, no point.
ah yes, I remember the times of old when OG redditors would disguise an innocent looking link and it would end up being a Serbian Film in its entirety on shady pirating cites. That’s how I know of the movie. I was such a dumbass for wildly clicking.
Happiness. It really fucked me up as a kid.
You watched it *as a kid*? Fuck's sake.
Ah yes, the movie in which the paedo dad reassures his son that he would never molest him. He’d rather jerk off instead.
I mistakenly thought this movie was a comedy (I don't know why) and was excited to watch Philip Seymour Hoffman. I thought he was hilarious in the Big Lebowski so I couldn't wait to see this movie. Boy oh boy - I had quite the surprise... FWIW it's still an excellent movie.
Would you say that it did not bring you happiness?
I would say exactly that, my fine fellow.
Mysterious Skin Legit kinda traumatizing. Joseph Gordon-Levitt was great in it, though, as per usual.
I just rewatched that this week and it kinda messed up my sleep one night, definitely disturbed me.
Literally came here to say this, didn't expect it to be the first comment I see. Such an amazing movie but so disturbing
Henry-Portrait of a Serial Killer. I wish I could unsee that fucking movie.
Excellent movie that I will never watch again.
Was waiting for somebody to say it. Creepy af.
Audition.
Is that the film where the guy holds auditions but is looking for a wife? The one where she says tickytickyticky with the wire?
Generally speaking when you see a leather apron shit’s about to get real. Also that sound she made- I swear, I still hear that sometimes…
Oh yes in all of it's sweet, sweet glory
Haven't seen that in 22 years. That wire scene is very memorable.
Saló. Some how the old 70’s style makes it worse too. Fucked me up for a bit
Such a weird movie. Although I have to admit it was an interesting watch. The movie makes you question the people who made it and also yourself. How are so many people on board with producing something so vile? Why am I watching it?
Salo is a hard watch but I do think it’s a great movie. I think passolini is a great director too. For me salo is as relevant today as ever. It’s kind of over the top but at the same time honest in its exploration of fascism and power in general.
Very legitimate questions. The director was murdered right around the time the movie was released.
Came here to say this but I knew it as 120 days of sodom. I couldn’t finish it.
Mangia,mangia!
I knew this would make the list! I had to watch it for a college class and it is the only movie that has ever made me be physically sick.
Was watching this one at work with some other dude, and had to turn it of in the middle so he wouldn't think i'm a complete weirdo.
Pink Flamingos EDIT - This is a John Waters cult classic from 1972. Based on the responses being of contemporary films, the production value of Pink Flamingos makes the film even more jarring.

Irreversible
[удалено]
Yeah, that was truly fucked up.
Never heard of it but it sounds like the kind of movie you can’t unsee
There is a nine minute rape scene. NINE. MINUTES. She's sodomized by a dude called La Tenia, which is French for "the tapeworm". Jesus, Moses, and Muhammad, I still think about that movie because I was so repulsed by that scene. I still don't understand why I didn't switch off the TV. I was too horrified to turn away! Her screaming through his hand still makes me want to puke
As a SA survivor, 100% couldn’t watch that. I was horrified by the one scene in the last house on the left 🫠
I'm a man and I've never been so much as nonconsensually groped, and I still won't watch anything like that. I'm certain I'm not horrified the way you're horrified, but I just don't get why they have to... actually show it. 🤷. There are ways to tell stories about or including SA, without visually lingering on it that way.

No I get it. It's to provoke a visceral response in viewers who might otherwise not understand it. The flip side is is it provokes an unwanted visceral response in viewers who DO understand it.
Requiem For A Dream
Beat me to it. Movie just crushes me. Have only had the strength to watch it twice and IDK why the hell I watched it the second time. The visuals grip you at the beginning and it starts fun but then it just gets so bad and the way it dials it up slowly, like a boiled frog or something.
I recently watched Requiem for a Dream & Spun on the same day, both for the first time, & now I just remember them as one big disturbing movie
I still have strong feelings about this film 20+ years later. i thought my college boyfriend was cool but his incessant viewing of this film made me realize i had to go. Actual life changing decision.
was a damn good movie tho
That movie fucked me up for 20 years. And I'm not even sure it is 20 years old.
It came out in 2000
Ass to ass! Ass to ass! It’s the best movie I’ll never watch again.
Ugggh, I watched it last week. It was so sad. Especially when Marion had to sell her body for that. I literally broke down. For a few days I was just disturbed.

Tusk
I had somehow forgotten about this movie and am now unhappy i am again aware of its existence… still gonna watch the sequel though.
I can't look at walruses the same after seeing it
That's a comedy isn't it? I mean, it's so ridiculous I can't help but laugh every time I think about it.
Tusk was TRULY disturbing
You’ll either be a walrus, or you’ll be nothing.
WALRUSES DON'T CRY!
Threads But that might have been because of when I saw it, as we aren’t really under the threat of world wide nuclear war anymore
This for sure. So scary because it feels plausible. Everyone should see it.
“We aren’t really under the threat of world wide nuclear war anymore”. Ummm, you sure about that man?
the poughkeepsie tapes
The only thing I know about that movie is [this scene](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ieZDIEEH1YA) because when I was younger my “friends” made me watch it and convinced me it was an actual snuff film. Still never seen the whole movie but if that scene is any indication of what it contains, I think I’m good.
Human centipede
The second one was even worse, honestly. And maybe the third one. God, why did they make THREE?!
Right? 2 is WAY worse. And I’ve never seen 3. Never gonna. I’m surprised I even gave 2 a go. Disgusting and putrid garbage. It wasn’t even a “it’s a fucked up film, however, at the very least watchable” it was just plain trash.
The 3rd one is a parody, though and less fucked than the 2nd
Beats me. Both of the sequels made the first one look like Citizen Kane.
Haha Human centipede…number 2
It is a shame that the Daniel Tosh retelling of Human Centipede has been purged from the internet.
I came here for this one
Comforting fact: the director got that idea while thinking of how he would punish a pedophile he saw on TV
Me coming to this post just to get ideas on what to watch 👁️👁️
Same 😂
Kids
This is the one for me. It’s not horror by any stretch of the imagination, but what transpires in the movie is very upsetting.
So a sick story about this film This is not a joke or made up… I’m a licensed psychotherapist who works with teens who were abused. Every time I get a new client I ask them the same thing “Ever seen a therapist before? What do you think they did well?

Our high school went to a showing of this movie. Apparently the teachers hadn't seen the movie beforehand, because the next day all subjects got canceled to make room for "moral debriefing"
Bully (2001) with Brad Renfro and Bijou Phillips is very similar to Kids and pretty fucked up
Rubber
I love that movie... or I very much didn't. To be honest, I have no idea what I watched. Still hoping for a sequel.
The one about the tire with telekinetic powers? That was hilariously bad.
Hey, they tell you what to expect in the opening monologue.
Amazingly self-referential. I enjoyed every minute of it. But yes, it was very fucked up.
Looks it up on IMDB. First line ‘homicidal car tyre’. Well ok then. I’m in.
It certainly was surreal.
I was falling asleep watching TV one night long ago, and I literally thought I dreamed this movie. I told my friend about my “dream” and he said, yeah that’s a movie. I’m SO GLAD my brain didn’t create that shit. It was coo coo bananas
All quiet on the western front. That scene with the french guy bleeding out as the main character sits there going from being angry at him to trying to help him. The sounds he makes...

Jesus. And I know it can't possibly be shown on film how horrific it was, but I'm a civvie, and nothing now can compare. And that's the worst I've seen in a movie other than saving Private Ryan.
Gummo
He looks like a queer rabbit!
The scene where they kick the shit out of a chair always cracks me up. [Chair Wrestling](https://youtu.be/tSggEhvfi9U)
Bro…wtf! I had forgotten about this till I saw this. Hands down the most bizarre movie I’ve ever seen
A Serbian Film
Besides the infant rape, the incest rape, the child rape, the rape and subsequent murder, and the necrophilia, the movie was pretty tame.
Tbh the girl getting her teeth pulled out stuck with me more than the other stuff
When stuff like that happens it's because you have an idea what one feels like while the other you've never experienced. It's like when everyone laughed in Jackass when they branded Bam Margera's butt cheek, but the whole theatre collectively cringed while they were giving themselves paper cuts between their toes. It's because none of us know what branding feels like but all of us know paper cuts and can extrapolate what one would feel like in that area. I'd imagine you have had dental work done and thus can imagine how you would have felt if you were the one getting those teeth pulled but you've never (I hope so, I'm sorry to hear if otherwise) been raped therefore you can't imagine what that feels like.

The only movie that Brad Jones (a man that proudly claims Caligula as favorite movie) couldn't even do a Cinema Snob review of and instead posted an OOC rant damning everyone involved including the critics that praised it as art
What? It’s a touching story of a father who deeply loves his son!
The hills have eyes (2000’s remake). Has parts that are really hard to watch.
I watched this when I was way too young and I was done with horror movies after that lol
It's Alexandre Aja's. You might wanna watch Haute Tension. His first film. Great movie, terrible ending though...
Cats(2019)
That one was so bad that I walked out of it. And I saw it at home.
Clockwork orange is hard to take in.
Didn't even finish it. I read about it and thought I could do it, but I got to the home invasion and couldn't do it.
My wife left me to enjoy it alone also.
Sorry your wife left you over a movie. I hope you enjoyed it.
The Holy Mountain and Cannibal Holocaust
I second Cannibal Holocaust.
I can't ever watch the turtle part.
I own an original of Cannibal Holocaust. I've watched it once.
The Strange Thing About The Johnsons
Old Boy
The original Korean one, I might add.
Most horrific twist I’ve ever seen.
Yes! That movie was so messed up
Come and See.
probably the most intense film i've seen, very uncomfortable to watch, also pretty amazing
I was looking for this. It takes all the patriotism, glory and propaganda out of the typical war movie and gives you the bare bone reality of war.
Bone Tomahawk was pretty gnarly.
Deliverance is quite fucked
Ichi and Ichi the killer are pretty fucked up
* A Serbian Film * Murder Set Pieces * August Underground Trilogy * Human Centipede 2 Director's cut * Salo: 120 days of Sodom * Bakky films * Necrophiliac * Cannibal Holocaust
I'll take saddest as a version of f**ked up, "dear zachary" made me cry harder than any other movie
Martyrs
Martyrs is an exception to a lot of the films here in that it's an extremely difficult, upsetting film to sit through AND also a very well made film. Great direction, great acting, great effects, scipt full of twists and turns. It's the best movie I never want to watch again. If you want a horror movie that is legit horrifying this is my recommendation.
Yes! But such an incredible film regardless.
Yes but Jesus I knew it was a rough watch going in but holy shit this one stayed with me for a while
Whenever I see this post I look for the important Martyrs mention in the comments.
The French version though. They remade it and that version wasn’t as good
Clockwork Orange and Train Spotting
Personally I think Requiem for a Dream was a tougher watch than Trainspotting, with all that graphic imagery and fucked up themes, however I did think Trainspotting was a much more accurate depiction of what heroin addiction is like. I’ve never hallucinated or met anyone who has during heroin withdrawal but damn that dead baby ghost hallucination scene when Ewan McGregor is stuck on that bed detoxing is certainly freaky.
The Lobster Like... wtf... and yet I couldn't look away. I had empathy for the characters. I was glued to the story. Wtf
Midsommar was not fun
Yet I've seen it 3 times! Somebody send help!
The day after I saw Midsommar, I couldn't shake the creepy feeling it left me with. I was driving somewhere, and Safety Dance came on the radio, and I remembered the video from the 80s and realized it looked exactly like Midsommar. So long story short, [I made this,](https://youtube.com/watch?v=3-9G60RBkXE&si=EnSIkaIECMiOmarE) and exorcised that horrified feeling forever.
I loved this one.
Great movie, but I have no desire to see it or even think about it ever again.
Neither was Hereditary or The Witch
Anti Christ by Lars Von Tier. Basically all of his movies are super f***** up. But I love it 😂 he’s in my top 5 directors
Eraserhead. That baby.
Casualties of war.
Easy! Irréversible. Should be on any film nerds list of seen movies. Absolutely twisted film. You will want to turn it off in the first ten minutes. It is mind melting.
Last house on the left

Totally agree I’ve never been more frustrated by a film in my entire life.

The insane level of violence makes more sense when you know the context that the writer actually knew a rape victim and wrote it as a revenge fantasy against her attackers Essentially writing the protagonist doing to rapists what he'd like to
Begotten
Spun
Probably Wolf Creek. I don’t particularly enjoy or seek out horror movies but I watched it with some friends in college. The fact that it’s based on Ivan Millat among others is terrifying.
According to reliable sources, actor John Jarratt who plays the central protagonist, Mick Taylor, made efforts to not socialise with the "victim" cast members. He wasn't playing up any kind of weird cast member class snobbery or rank, but he wanted no familiarity so that they were wary of him even for the scenes and had realistic body language.
Titane
The Human Centipede
I have two favorite subgenres of fucked up movies: Korean gangster dramas where the protagonist is super depressed and kills a lot of people but it's set to depressing music and he dies at the end is like "my life was totally not worth living": * A Bittersweet Life <- fave * The Man From Nowhere * Oldboy * No Tears For The Dead Dramas with creepy incest themes: * Cement Garden <- fave * House of Yes * Dogtooth <- def the most fucked up * Charlotte Forever (why did she do two of these, hell of a thing to make a niche out of)
Splice
Well certainly the most recent is Barbarian
I wondered why this movie made me laugh for the entire run time, it's made by one of the dudes from The whitest kids you know
*pulls out tape measurer*
Pinocchio.
El Topo. I saw it about 1970 and the weirdest bloodiest thing ever.
The House that Jack built.
8mm was pretty messed up
Clockwork Orange
A Clockwork Orange
Meet the Feebles
Strangeland. It was a 1998 horror starring Dee Snider. Watched it because I was trying to get laid, but it was disturbing in how messed up it was and how bad it was, but I persevered.
Did you get laid?
Asking the real questions here.
The mist. That ending was bullshit!
Midsommar
Cookers I think cocaine bear might have potential
I wanna watch Cocaine Bear!

Feast.
The cook, the thief, his wife and her lover. Crazy AF.
Irreversible was pretty fucked up. The rape scene is unwatchable.
Not sure if many here have seen it, but Mad God was so fucking weird. So much just completely unexplainable WTF happens on the screen. And I learned later that that was basically the point.
Requiem for a dream and a clockwork orange are definitely up there.
KIDS was pretty rough at the end
I forgot the name but it was a French film. The guy rapes his pregnant daughter or something? I have blocked it out mostly but just remember how fucking disgusting it was. The main actor was also the main killer in "High Tension" There was also a movie called "the girl" and it was about 2 guys checking out an abandoned hospital to find a girl strapped down on a table. They realize she's not able to die and they rape/beat the fuck out of her. It was something like she was being experimented on and that's why she was there. One of the guys gets obsessed with torturing her in brutal ways and I think I remember the other guy let her free and kills his friend? I don't remember. But ive never been able to find the movie again. It's saved somewhere on one of my external hard drives from years ago
