What's the most disturbing movie that you've ever watched?

Guest ffffffff

It was a concert years back at Alliance Française de Singapour.

 

They invited some effeminate male singer with a high pitched voice.

 

The performer kept giggling during the performance and could not sing properly.

 

No standard can charge for tickets some more.

(The) 120 days of Sodom, or Salo as it is better known in Italian. 

 

Came across an article on the history's most disturbing films, read about the controversy surrounding the film and decided to watch it for myself to see if it was THAT disturbing. Regretted every single second of it. Incredibly disturbing, highly derogative by modern standards, and would certainly be banned/destroyed/even kill the directors and author who penned the novel, in which the film was derived from. 

 

Perhaps some folks will find the scenes incredibly arousing, but I was appalled the whole way through. 

I had the opposite reaction! 
 

Intrigued by all the fuss from foreign critics and filmmaking articles about Salo, I finally got my hands on the DVD (alas not from Criterion!) and played it with trepidation and anticipation — and was sorely underwhelmed and actually bored to tears.

 

It was, on the whole, laborious, mechanical, overly verbose, unintriguing, mundane to me, albeit the few odd outrageous moments of forced faecal feeding and gratuitous rapes (both male and female).

 

For me, the more disturbing and/ or revolting movies (there is no 1 singular title to take the cake) are:

1. Irreversible by Gaspar Noé

2. Cannibal Holocaust by Ruggero Deodato

3. The Comfort of Strangers by Paul Schrader

4. Xtro by Harvey Bromley Davenport

5. Event Horizon by Paul WS Anderson

Incantation Taiwan 2022 movie

 

 

I stopped watching midway, not because it was disturbing, but the Blair Witch format was just too nauseating for me, even when I was seated on the living room couch.

 

For me, it's hands-down "Midsommar". The scene with the pubic hair and the ensuing sex scene with the owner of that pubic hair strand...

My definition of "disturbing"...Salo and Human Centipede are my top of mind.

 

If we include "Creeps the hell me out of me"......Rigor Mortis 僵尸 (2013) takes the cake .....I refuse to watch any horror movie since that and so not going to watch Incantation even with its raving reviews.

Men Behind the Sun - 黑太陽731.  Show how cruel mankind can be.

 

I remember this movie 黑太陽731 when i was a kid still in pri sch. I never watch it but whenever i walked past a cinema and see those movie pictures, i was traumatised and don't dare to walk past those movie posters. Even now already so old liao when i watched this trailer, it is still quite disturbing.

 

I find those horror movies in the 70s and 80s quite disturbing.

打蛇 (1980) Lost Souls
It is a disturbing and utterly depressing movie to watch. Includes an infamous male rape scene. 

 

 

 

 

Saw this link about this 打蛇, went to search and watched it. Cannot believe in 1980 era, they can film such type of movie with so many violence, nude scene, brutal scene, women rape scene and of course the male rape scene. Don't think such movie can find in the current era. Even have also would cut away lots of scene before showing it on cinema.

Best not or avoid watching these kind of movies, very unhealthy to mental health.

Agreed, very disturbing to your mental and mood, even though afterall it is just a pure acting which is not real.

I don't remember being disturbed by movies.  I choose what I see in theaters, and I am quick to stop any video I don't like.  Instead of disturbed, I am sometimes bored,  emotionally drained, angered by some movies.  But again, I can stop them in good time.  It is like immediately stopping eating whatever is detected as harmful.

Final Destination! Watched it when I was much younger and left me with deep impression of being the most disturbing, gross film! Then I did watched all of them!

I find Final Destination all series disturbing and gross. After watching really makes me feel sick. I remember i watched one of the Final Destination series in cinema, then after the show went for supper and i had the feeling of puking and also don't feel like eating.

This movie is more like gross and disgusting than scary. Too much gory blood that makes me want to puke.

Singapore Parliament sittings. 

Watch it once, and never dare to watch any more subsequent series ever again. The horrific use of extraordinary powers is disturbing. 

 

Ha ha ha!  Good answer.  Although... what are the "extraordinary powers" in Singapore?  More HORRIFIC are the videos of my ex-president, who once was "the most powerful man on earth".  Although one can expect the evil of the DEVIL to be still more powerful than that of Trump.  😄

I also found The Exorcist very disturbing...   when I was younger.  

 

Today, older and experienced and very peaceful,  no movie can disturb or frighten me.  If they are obviously made scare,  they bore me.  Nothing is more frightening than the real world events.

as a Christian is it a sin to watch horror movies about demon possession?

 

You posted an interesting question. 

 

Can the topic of "demon possession" be sinful in a religion... that CREATED this "demon possession"? 

 

As a little vulnerable child going to a Catholic school,  I was subjected to much horror by the teaching of MORTAL SIN by the good religious Fathers.  Should I have intentionally missed a Mass one Sunday,  and this "mortal sin" would earn me an eternity in HELL roasted by eternal fire,  if I then would pass away in this state of sin.

Girl in the Basement is a 2021 Crime Thriller Made-for-TV Movie that premiered on the Lifetime Network as part of the Ripped from the Headlines series. Directed by Elisabeth Röhm, the film stars Judd Nelson, Stefanie Scott, Joely Fisher, and Emma Myers.

 

Based on true events, the film tells the horrific story of Sara (Stefanie Scott), a vibrant teen girl who was looking forward to her 18th birthday so she could move away from her controlling father, Don (Judd Nelson). Her entire world takes a dark turn when her father imprisons her in the basement of their home for the next twenty years.

 

The father even impregnated the daughter and had several children, all living in their house basement.

I love all the Saw, Hostel, Final Destination, Exorcist series.  Saw was exceptionally well made and riveting.

 

The most disturbing movie I watched was a documentary on videotape called Faces of Death during 90s. I couldn't eat pork for a long time.  It was so sick.  

 

Because of years of watching violent movies as well as porn, my thresholds for both are very high. In the 2000s there's a japanese movie where the killer uses an ice skating shoe blade to cut his opponents in half. However, nothing much gets me perturbed anymore because they're fake. 

 

The advent of the internet and more lately no holds barred platforms like Twitter re-upped the disgust hurdle. That's cos the stuff they share are real. 

 

Seeing video of a crazed man knife off his own manhood with a fruit knife or seeing people shove two hands into assholes and the resulting rosebud is absolutely disgusting. 

 

So are those videos of Mexican narcotic gangs killing their rivals and innocent people.  There's one where the Mexican gangster cut off a rival Mexican gangster's head with a chainsaw while his friend is sitting shoulder to shoulder with the dead guy is disgusting.  Seeing tonnes of Mexican gangster victims without heads and limbs and with their thumbs tied together behind their backs is disturbing.  I never want to watch that again.  

 

In conclusion, human depravity captured on videos and shared on social media platforms far out-disgust any movie that can be made.  Cos the latter are fake.

For me it's the Mothman Prophecies - because of how a lot of it was deliberately not explained; also, the camera angles that seem to imply that the main characters are being constantly watched, and there was a lot of subliminal imagery that can only be fullely appreciated either upon 2nd viewing, or if you pause the movie at crucial moments.

 

It's deeply psychological

Daniel and Ana - a Mexican film about siblings who were kidnapped and forced to have sex on camera. 
 

High Tension - I’m not sure if it falls under disturbing but if I can remember the scene where someone was decapitated years later, it should qualify.

 The Wailing

"Thanks Giving",  The most disturbing and brutal movie not meant for those below 21yo.  The movie appeals mainly for the effect and poor storyline.  Should be banned in Singapore.
