Cocaine bear, funny as hell, but disgusting at the same time.
The Serbian Film. Nuff said.
This one is hard to top because of newborn porn but martyrs is a close second to me.
I have a much more lighthearted answer.
This post contains some spoilers, but I consider it outside the statute of limitations for such things.
There’s this old movie where aliens are concerned about humanity developing a weapon that if used would Destroy the universe.
So the aliens use a really stupid plan to try and convince us to stop. And I guess this was after 8 other ideas either failed or were considered even worse.
Anyway at the end (of course) humanity wins and drives off the aliens. Wait, what was the aliens’ original goal? Something about the universe? Oh well, must not be important… The End.
And that was Plan 9 from Outer Space.
Hard to say. Depends on what your definition is. “Possum” is up there, as is “Skinamarink”. But those are both a pretty specific type of disturbing. Not necessarily scary, but disturbing depending on life experiences.
I just watched “Men” last weekend, knowing nothing going in. That was a bit of a strange one.
Sure, there’s Martyrs, antichrist, requiem for a dream, Mother!, hereditary, the killing of a sacred deer, etc. but the first 2 I mentioned hit a bit harder than those others.
Side note: seeing some I haven’t seen here. Got me some watching to do.
Once we were warriors. Great disturbing moving film
Splice, for some reason.
This is definitely up there, but surprisingly nowhere near the most.
For me it was oddly horrible.
In-cheast-iality is the word we coined for the end of that movie.
That’s an awesome portmanteau. It deserved one.
We didn’t actually finish it. Old millennials used to all the horrors of early internet culture and we noped out.
Oh man, you don’t even know the ending? I’m guessing you haven’t seen a lot of the movies in this thread.
True. God. It got worse, didn’t it?
Hooo boy.
I saw Baise Moi (Kiss/Rape Me) in a theatre just before it was banned. I was not expecting that
This is about the same time that Kids, Gummo, Happiness, and the Brown Bunny were all released.
Each film is fucked up for its own reasons. Though, I understand, Salo and A Serbian Film are next level fucked up.
Honestly The Creator really got me. I think the thing was I went in expecting a Star Wars esque action movie and what I watched was Apocalypse Now with robots.
Oh my sweet summer child, do not watch the other movies mentioned here.
Hostel probably isn’t the most fucked-up movie I’ve watched, but it’s the one that affected me most strongly. I felt physically sick during the scene where

the children kill the bait girl.
Haven’t watched a gory movie since.
The fault in our stars
What an absolutely awful movie. I was prepaired to shed a tear but I wasn’t expecting it to ruin my entire week. I wish I had never seen it.
Threads (1984)
Want to see a movie that breaks from the typical happy ending trope? Right here.
Visitor Q.
I first saw it years ago at a goth movie night, and I’ve never witnessed a more uncomfortable audience reaction. Would still recommend.
Audition (1999)… I haven’t watched it in 20 years but holy shit it is definitely in my collection of scary memories
That scene where she’s using the accu-puncture needles on him gives me chills to this day, it was tough to get through back then
I Spit On Your Grave was dark as fuck, Them, and something about an Australian road train that drove itself. I think it might have been called Road Train. It was very weird.
It was, in fact, called Road Train. I enjoyed that one.
I haven’t seen anyone mention Come and See yet, so that one.
That one is on my list!
I haven’t seen Come and See and based on what I’ve read I’m not really inclined to.
You’re missing out.
It’s not an easy watch but it’s worth it, unlike some of the other movies mentioned here the shock factor is necessary to tell the story and it’s a story worth experiencing.
Came here to write this.
Another one would be Jacob’s ladder, but compared to Come and See it’s fairytale.
Great movie though, I should watch it again.
I actually loved Jacob’s Ladder.
Don’t get me wrong, it’s a fantastic movie. It’s just… it kind of fucked my mind when I saw it.
Same applies for Come and See. It’s amazingly done, but it’s brutal. Which is no surprise given the theme, but the difference is it’s so naturalistic and shows all the wartime horrors. Most films tend to avoid these and show only the heroic parts of war.
Speaking of which I’d sneak in Apocalypse Now and Casualties of War.
Casualties of War… That one was fucked, esp. since it was largely true, and the person that reported it got so fucked over for trying to do the right thing. Kinda like the people that stopped the My Lai massacre.
