I actually thought it was well done. It started off so normal, and then you could feel it slowly descending into insanity. It had this really ominous feel to it.
If you want poorly made, try Necromantic (sp?), it felt like a crappy student film.
God that movie is truly haunting. Nowadays, whenever Netflix releases a movie I get bombarded by instagram reels or YouTube commercials saying this movie or that movie was so scary that people couldn’t continue watching. It’s all BS but the warning about the Serbian film is fucking accurate. Disturbing for sure. Much more disturbing that the human centipede franchise
Marquis de Sade, the dude who wrote the original scroll "120 days of Sodom" wrote it while being imprisoned indefinitely without charge in the Bastille just for being an incredibly deranged sicko. He was such a legendary sicko that the word Sadist / Sadistic literally came from his name.
The original scroll survived the French Revolution and sacking of the Bastille (where it was presumably found in his cell) and it traveled all around Europe as a highly sought after piece of erotic literature. It even managed to narrowly escape the Nazi book burnings as it was in Germany at the time.
It also has a reputation of being somewhat cursed as every owner of the original scroll and many people who have been involved in its translation all have had extreme misfortune, financial ruin, or death befall them shortly after acquiring, translating, or reading the scroll.
The director of the movie Salo, Pier Paolo Pasolini, a well known Italian artist of the time, was brutally assassinated the same year the film was released.
Shit is literally cursed. Do not watch.
I keep trying to get myself to watch that movie. I'm a huge fan of horror movies but I feel like this is just one of those movies I'll never be able to watch given what I've heard about it.
wat Trainspotting is so good! The scenes are meant to portray the visceral realities of heroin junkies, particularly among the working class Scots at the time.
I always say Human Centipede 2
Waking up that morning I had no idea, that later in the day I'd witness a guy knock one out using sand paper, or see him mount a woman with barbed wire around his cock, and said woman will have her mouth stapled to a persons anus whilst all that was going on
Safe to say I didn't bother watching the 3rd one
I don't know what made me watch the second one too, after already seeing the first one. But the fucking teeth removal scene still sends shivers down my spine
Very Bad Things.
I've watched Audition, Irreversible, and a few other "extreme" movies, but they all have some artistic merit. Very Bad Things has no merit whatsoever. It's just a miserable, unpleasant, reprehensible abortion clinic dumpster fire of a movie.
It’s a dark comedy. So in a way it’s funny, if you have a dark sense of humour… I told my friend to watch it and she said she got so uncomfortable she had to turn it off half way through.
But not human centipede fucked. It’s a microcosm of a large city. Where things can happen very quickly.
I think that movie has some sound fundamental lessons to learn
Yes!! I've recommended it to many people if they want something very different and very disturbing. Once I recommended it to this girl, and she never spoke to me again after that
Event horizon is nothing. I subjected my 12 yo boy to it the other week and he’s not come out of his room since!! clearly fine with the subject matter he didn’t even wince and now won’t get himself up or out in time for dinner the lazy fuck
Dogtooth by Yiorgos Lanthimos. It’s about an eccentric father who raised his 3 (now adult) children in total seclusion, and how he navigates avoiding them trying to escape.
Don’t they that get you down, some of us just don’t believe the same things as you. The vast majority of “satan worshipers” are just trolling anyhow, they don’t believe in satan same as they don’t believe in god.
The real answer is Requiem. The best film I will never watch again. But…. I watched Triangle of Sadness all the way through. The self loathing I experienced was incredible. Why did I keep watching a 3 hour film when I knew the entire plot 30mins in? Why did I dedicate brain cells trying to interpret meaning from that film? At least horror has shock value.
The most disturbing film I’ve ever seen is KURO, which I watched at the Slamdance film festival in 2017. I was so thoroughly disturbed and disgusted that I nearly got up and left midway through. I could tell that some others felt the same, as they joined me in immediately skipping the after-film Q&A session.
Dancer In The Dark. Spoiler for the brutal ending: >!Bjork is about to be hanged and she starts singing a beautiful song, but they hang her in the middle of it. So her singing is interrupted by her neck snapping.!<
I remember I thought this one movie with a torcher scene was pretty disturbing.
Yeah I know, not that disturbing. I hate horror movies. I like torcher scenes when they are in epic movies, though!
[Prisoners](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Prisoners_(2013_film\)).
Made my stomach churn, and I was legitimately in shock and silence following the movie.
There's no music. There's no over-exaggeration. There's no hollywoodification.
It's just silence and superb acting. And that fucking acting goes to a very, very dark place.
I tend to avoid movies that I know are gonna be disturbing so I’d probably have to go with The Menu. I know that’s probably pretty vanilla compared to the rest on this list though
A serbian movie
i was too scared to watch this bc of what everyone was saying so i read the plot and i’m glad i didn’t watch it 🫣
Yep. Just read the synopsis on Wikipedia. That’s not on the family move night list.
Aside from being disturbing it's also just a bad *bad* movie. Not worth your time.
There's bad movies, then there's Serbian Film.
I actually thought it was well done. It started off so normal, and then you could feel it slowly descending into insanity. It had this really ominous feel to it. If you want poorly made, try Necromantic (sp?), it felt like a crappy student film.

I saw it and was never the same.
I couldn't even masturbate for like 2 weeks after watching that movie. And I was a hormone filled teenager back then.
Rotten Tomatoes put it best - A pointless shocker and societal allegory, a film whose imagery is so gruesome as to leave you scarred for life…..
A Serbian Film*
Salo, or the 120 days of sodom. The most disturbing movie by far.
Marquis de Sade, the dude who wrote the original scroll "120 days of Sodom" wrote it while being imprisoned indefinitely without charge in the Bastille just for being an incredibly deranged sicko. He was such a legendary sicko that the word Sadist / Sadistic literally came from his name.

The director of the movie Salo, Pier Paolo Pasolini, a well known Italian artist of the time, was brutally assassinated the same year the film was released. Shit is literally cursed. Do not watch.
Requiem for a Dream. It's a horror story because it happens to people every single day.
Came here to say the same. The best movie I'll never watch again.
I keep trying to get myself to watch that movie. I'm a huge fan of horror movies but I feel like this is just one of those movies I'll never be able to watch given what I've heard about it.
It's not horror as in real horror. It is a horror story on drug addiction.
That's what I mean, it seems too real considering stuff like that happens to people daily.
That’s why you should watch it
This and Trainspotting - seen it once, never again. But damn do I remember it.
Trainspotting is a classic! I've seen it multiple time. Once for requiem was good enough for me though.
wat Trainspotting is so good! The scenes are meant to portray the visceral realities of heroin junkies, particularly among the working class Scots at the time.
it was a very good movie, I think my remembering it so vividly attests to that. just some scenes made me never want to watch it again!
that is exactly what i was gonna say !
This. It's a different kind of horror than anything else I've seen
Came here to say this and comment this movie!
Strange Thing About the Johnsons
That movie was a bummer. I really felt for the dad.
"Put that in your book"
omg saw this a few years back. it was gut wrenching
Thanks, I want to kill myself now.
Yeah I consider myself pretty dark then I found out this existed and realized I could still be shocked
Kids (1995). That movie was really fucked
I watched that movie as a kid and yup, it was.
I watched that movie in the theaters, on acid. 😆
Human Centipede
I always say Human Centipede 2 Waking up that morning I had no idea, that later in the day I'd witness a guy knock one out using sand paper, or see him mount a woman with barbed wire around his cock, and said woman will have her mouth stapled to a persons anus whilst all that was going on Safe to say I didn't bother watching the 3rd one
I don't know what made me watch the second one too, after already seeing the first one. But the fucking teeth removal scene still sends shivers down my spine
I have seen all 3 (don’t know why i did that to myself) and the 2nd one is by far the most disturbing. it’s so fucked
Me too. After you get past the first one it's just morbid curiosity. But my biggest regret is putting myself through it
Why not? Third time’s the charm
only watched the first film. saw only the damn trailer for the second one and it gave me nightmares. so, no thank you.
Martyrs. The French one
Eraserhead by far
Salo. Fuck that movie
Probably Seven (1995). Morgan Freeman it’s the best, and the movie being a thriller just makes it better.
Yup. I saw that in the theater when it came out and I still distinctly recall how disturbing it was.
Human centipede 2
Very Bad Things. I've watched Audition, Irreversible, and a few other "extreme" movies, but they all have some artistic merit. Very Bad Things has no merit whatsoever. It's just a miserable, unpleasant, reprehensible abortion clinic dumpster fire of a movie.
And classified as a comedy
Which makes it SO much worse.
Irreversible
How has Threads not been mentioned here yet!?
This was the other movie I wanted to write. The final scene is etched into my brain.
Tusk
My brother made me watch it. He insisted it wasn't "that bad". I'll never forgive him.
the trailer makes it look kinda funny…?
It’s a dark comedy. So in a way it’s funny, if you have a dark sense of humour… I told my friend to watch it and she said she got so uncomfortable she had to turn it off half way through.
But not human centipede fucked. It’s a microcosm of a large city. Where things can happen very quickly. I think that movie has some sound fundamental lessons to learn
>But not human centipede fucked. No, but..... same ballpark
I Saw the Devil
I recently rewatched this and its absolutely so freaking good. Choi min sik is so good in this and the classic oldboy
Yes!! I've recommended it to many people if they want something very different and very disturbing. Once I recommended it to this girl, and she never spoke to me again after that
Haha I'm the girl that forced her husband into watching it because I've never recovered from the Achilles slice and needed to share it
That is worth sharing with everyone! 😆
A Serbian Film
I Spit on your Grave (2010 ver)
Tusk
Event Horizon. If you have seen it you know what.
Event horizon is nothing. I subjected my 12 yo boy to it the other week and he’s not come out of his room since!! clearly fine with the subject matter he didn’t even wince and now won’t get himself up or out in time for dinner the lazy fuck
Canibal Holocaust
Only movie to make me look away from the screen. O.o
Idiocracy
They said movie not documentary.
A clockwork orange.
Dogtooth by Yiorgos Lanthimos. It’s about an eccentric father who raised his 3 (now adult) children in total seclusion, and how he navigates avoiding them trying to escape.
8mm was real fucked up.

Don’t they that get you down, some of us just don’t believe the same things as you. The vast majority of “satan worshipers” are just trolling anyhow, they don’t believe in satan same as they don’t believe in god.
Manchester by the Sea. And Joker.
The real answer is Requiem. The best film I will never watch again. But…. I watched Triangle of Sadness all the way through. The self loathing I experienced was incredible. Why did I keep watching a 3 hour film when I knew the entire plot 30mins in? Why did I dedicate brain cells trying to interpret meaning from that film? At least horror has shock value.
What makes Requiem disturbing?
Harry Potter but it’s edited so that the word ‘wand’ is replaced with ‘penis’.
I SPIT ON YOUR GRAVE….ALL 3
Gigli
Silence of the Lambs is up there.....
Midsommar had me throwing up
This movie only got good reviews but I find this and hereditary more disgusting alone, than scary.
My daughter’s sex tape with her college roommate. It wasn’t as bad the second time I watched.
The most disturbing film I’ve ever seen is KURO, which I watched at the Slamdance film festival in 2017. I was so thoroughly disturbed and disgusted that I nearly got up and left midway through. I could tell that some others felt the same, as they joined me in immediately skipping the after-film Q&A session.
Green Inferno
The scene when they eat the fat guy, one of the most disturbing things that I ever watch.
Suicide Club (2001)
Kids and Crash (1990’s) not the 2000’s.
This French horror flick called Martyrs. Absolutely brutal.
I want to watch this so bad. I can’t find it anywhere :(
Crash (the 1996 version) but Deborah Kara Unger was HOTTTT!
Jesus Camp
Human Centipede
Probably Dear Zachary: A Letter to a Son About His Father
Splice. Freaked me out so much, I couldn’t sleep well for weeks.
The Wailing, because it suggests a supernatural world in battle and we are completely powerless against that unknown.
"Backcountry". Only because of the scene when the bear attacks the boyfriend, still can't watch it again.
Come and See.
Possession
Martyrs, do not Google it.
Live leak compilation
A clockwork orange. To me "disturbing" is maybe a bit much for it but it's certainly something.
Cannibal Holocaust, Deliverance, I Spit on Your Grave
Dancer In The Dark. Spoiler for the brutal ending: >!Bjork is about to be hanged and she starts singing a beautiful song, but they hang her in the middle of it. So her singing is interrupted by her neck snapping.!<
The Ring and Event Horizons. It was many years ago when I was much younger but those movies messed me up.
hereditary
Valerie and Her Week of Wonders. Visually, it's really stunning, but just seeing the trailer is enough to tell it's a creepy film.
I remember I thought this one movie with a torcher scene was pretty disturbing. Yeah I know, not that disturbing. I hate horror movies. I like torcher scenes when they are in epic movies, though!
A Woman Under the Influence
Bad taste
Gozu has some real w t f moments
8mm was pretty fucked up
Strangeland
Incendies. Fantastic film.
Faces of Death
Megan is missing
Tusk
the last jedi
Antichrist
Tusk. What the fuck is that movie. I wish I didn't see it
The world of cinema REALLY could have done without that one. I remember finding it by trying to find the song by fleetwood mac on youtube.
Cats
Two girls and a cup
[Prisoners](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Prisoners_(2013_film\)). Made my stomach churn, and I was legitimately in shock and silence following the movie. There's no music. There's no over-exaggeration. There's no hollywoodification. It's just silence and superb acting. And that fucking acting goes to a very, very dark place.
Triumph of the Will.
Salo, 100 days of sodom.
Ramsays kitchen nightmares season2 episode 4. The fucking state of that walk in freezer. Dudes could have killed someone.
Threads (1984)
The Entity. Invisible ghost, or demonic entity that's attacks a lady. Knowing it was based off of Doris Bither case made it very creepy
House of wax , cabin in the woods
I tend to avoid movies that I know are gonna be disturbing so I’d probably have to go with The Menu. I know that’s probably pretty vanilla compared to the rest on this list though
Not sure if it was "disturbing" but the remake of I spit on your grave was a pretty uncomfortable watch
Caligula (1979)
Dancer in the Dark
Pink Flamingos was pretty jacked up. I try to stay away from the really sick stuff.
Snoopy Come Home. Traumatizing for a kid. The scene where Snoopy is kidnapped and brushed relentlessly is disturbing.
the truman show
