The Hunt with Mads Mikkelsen
It's freaking frightening how much influence a child can have and how easily they could ruin someone's​ life.

You missed the worst part
A Serbian Film as well. Just pure shit. It blows my mind there's actually people out there who liked it.

I had a weirdly strong reaction after I saw Patch Adams, of all films, because
I have no idea why it stuck with me so much but I felt awful.
it spooked me that his girlfriend or whatever got killed by that guy.
Yeah this is a great film. It was scary even after everything the kid said it didn't deter them. That ending too.

They certainly didn't look too thrilled to be butchering live animals.

This one is my pick.
it might be slightly exaggerated, but it's a brutally realistic film about how drugs can fuck your life without going "drugs are bad, m'kay?"
Anyone saying The Human Centipede and meaning the original film should know that the sequel is essentially a remake which tells the story in a much grittier, more realistic, and more cinematically accomplished manner. I thought the original was just a decent horror flick, but the second movie is heavy stuff.
Third movie retells the story in the manner of a Troma production. Pretty worthless.
yep was very uncomfortable

pink flamingos was pretty fucked up.. I remember hearing about it in whispers around middle school/high school and I finally got around to seeing it a couple days ago
its not solely disturbing its also quite funny in places and has a cool 50s rock & roll soundtrack but man I could have gone without seeing some of the shit in that movie
only other John waters movie I saw was hairspray which I really liked.. similar aesthetic but without grossout shit

I try not to watch trashy torture porn films so for me the one most in my mind is Come and See (1985), in particular the last scene is a very disturbing portrayal of war-crimes committed with joy and laughter that just emotionally devastates you.

Brian Burke punched my mom
Basketball Diaries and Bully are similarly fucked.
I had the exact same feeling you did and I was really put off by the experience. I really enjoy horror movies and I don't mind when things get crazy, but the tone of this movie wasn't fun to me yet everyone around seemed to think differently. I guess I didn't get it...

The final sequence of edits is one of the greatest in film history.
The first film is a slick send-up of generic horror elements that manages to shake things up with the gross specificity of the villain's scheme. It is also pretty much the least gross possible telling of the story.
The second, while nastier, is actually a joke that makes fun of both gore-hounds disappointed by the first's relative restraint and the critics/moral guardian dumbfucks who worry about copycats being inspired by the film.
The third is yet another comedy, this time making fun of people offended by gross entertainment whole living in a gross political/social system. It's basically a documentary of the future that predicted the Trump years, kind of like Starship Troopers and the War on Terror.
In addition to the above, the series and its mode of villainy can be viewed as a commentary on sequels, remakes, and reliance on generic elements. I would love to see even more; I have a couple ideas I'd love to pitch, like a behind-the-scenes story of an American remake or a superhero version.
In short, Tom Six is a genius.
Film is a masterpiece. Heartbreaking and uplifting at once.
Should see his others. Female Trouble is fantastic.

Henry: Portrait of a Serial Killer
Fuck me this movie is disturbing.

Honestly, I'm a chickenshit who refuses to watch most of these because the lasting images will continually haunt me and fuck me with me for a long time. That being said, I am extremely fascinated by them and love reading about them, especially the gory, for gory sake movies. So I remember when I went through a phrase of reading the IMDB boards for the best gorehound/extreme recommendations and the August Underground/Guinea Pig/2000s Miike movies, Antichrist/Human Centipede 2, as well the french classics like Martyrs/Baise-Moi/Haute Tension and, of course, Salo, were always the best picks.
Of movies to come out recently, Serbian Film is probably the most blatantly fucked up.
And of the movies I've actually seen, it's probably Audition.

Cannibal Holocaust. That turtle scene was really disrurbing as well as the rape scene.

My parents took me and my brother to see this when we were kids. They didn't allow us to watch violent movies, it was a bit of a culture shock of me. Probably not a good choice by my folks.
The Sword and the Sorcerer.
Looking back, that sword was kind of dumb.

Human Centipede.
That filth won't ever leave my mind.

Agreed, I appreciated the meta commentary of the three movies. But viewed simply as individual films, Second Sequence is the standout, and the other two pale in comparison. The first film is made greater in context, but the third feels so weak after the second. I'd like to see him continue, if only to contextualise the third movie by relating it to a fourth and/or fifth film.

I also didn't like when the dude shot the piglet point blank while laughing about it
It's a horror comedy. LOL!

The most unpleasant film I've ever seen is Irreversible. I hated it with every fibre of my being. I hated the structure, I hated the dialogue, I hated the characters and I felt like it had no purpose to exist other than shock and appal. The rape scene is vile and completely gratuitous and goes on about 6 minutes, and then worse than that he smashes her face into the ground and kicks the shit out of her afterwards. Showing someone get raped in an unbroken shot and then almost beaten to death was just disgusting. And then you have the scene in the club where one of the guys gets his arm broken and is going to be raped to the approval of the crowd (I guess it's an underground gay club so they all want to watch a man be raped?!), and then the other 'good' guy smashes this new assailant's face in with a fire extinguisher. It's just a horrible film. I don't even have the words to describe how much I hate it.
Another film I really found repulsive but only watched parts of it while drunk about 15 years ago was Cradle of Filth, I think it was called. It's about a woman who gets raped by a demon, and later in the film her girlfriend is fingering her and her fingers are bitten off by the demon spider-baby thing in the womb. The pregnant lady (I don't recall if she knew she was pregnant) then picks up a pair of scissors and starts stabbing herself in the stomach, dying from her injuries. The baby rips its way out and leaps at the girlfriend across the room, killing her too, off-screen I think. It didn't disturb me like Irreversible did, but it was a pretty sick scene.
Yeah, that was a really great and eye-opening film. Mads was amazing in it too.
EDIT - I have deliberately stayed away from Martyrs, A Serbian Film and even Eden Lake because I've heard they're harrowing. I've got no time for that shit.

Where can one legally find a decent quality version of Begotten? The versions I have seen (on YouTube, Archive.org etc.) are quite blurry and difficult to follow.I own Rubber's Lover on DVD, and I'll be honest I couldn't really tell you the plot of the flick for the life of me. When I think of Rubber's Lover though, I definitely think industrial and grimey. I'm due for a re-watch. Pinocchio 964 by the same director is a muuuuuch better film by a mile imho however.
Anyone mention Begotten yet? It always fits the bill nicely in discussions such as this.
You are still forgetting this...
At the risk of sounding like a fake bad ass, this movie isn't really that bad now, there's quite a few things mentioned in this thread that are far more unsettling, and I wouldn't even say it's the most disturbing thing in Miike's filmogrophy
Definitely deserves a spot here though, it seems to be a gateway film for a lot of people to experience something that's really next level.
This movie has a really disturbing, hopeless, filthy, grungy, comical, dark humor, genuinely funny, genuinely tense and scary vibe to it. I'm not sure I've seen a movie pull all of that off simultaneously as well as this does.
I can speak for myself, I don't usually like stuff that has gratuitous sexual violence or exploitation type films, but otherwise I consider myself a generally upbeat and positive person, so once in a while it's good to watch something that's pretty relentless and bleak. It's kind of like why people sometimes watch comedy movies when they're in a bad mood. Hard to describe, that's just what it's like for me

genuinely curious about what draws people to disturbing movies. video clips etc.? what makes people want to seek this out, or if not seeking it out, just curious enough to take a glimpse?
