I've never been disturbed by any movie. Requiem For A Dream came close to it. The realness of a druggie lifestyle and the artistic style of the whole thing just freaked me out.

LMAO

Posted by: VinceG Jan 11 2008, 01:24 AM

Not a movie, not disturbing... But today was the hottest day on record that the town I live in has ever had.

49 degrees celcius = 120 fahrenheit

It was a scorcher of a day!

The most disturbing movie i have ever seen is a japanese movie called
"Visitor Q" , i cant talk about the subjects here but here's a little trailer on youtube, you wont see anything but you will approximatively know what the movie is about : http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Wg7pHEn75Cg&feature=related

Posted by: OrganisedConfusion Jan 11 2008, 02:39 PM

I think most of his films are disturbing. You seen the Masters of Horror Imprint Episode? That is disturbing. The end of Sleepaway Camp 1 is quite disturbing also especially considering when it was released.

Posted by: Gen Jan 11 2008, 03:13 PM

i Haven't seen these ones, i gotta check them
Not that im a fan of disturbing movies, but i think there's some interesting stuff in some of them.

Posted by: rokchik Jan 11 2008, 03:37 PM

I'm going to have nightmares now just thinking about that movie

Another one to add would be Glitter with Mariah Carey....very disturbing

Posted by: botoxfox Jan 11 2008, 03:40 PM

Haven't seen Visitor Q, but the movie Audition, directed by the same dude is probably the most disturbing movie I've seen.

Posted by: OrganisedConfusion Jan 11 2008, 03:47 PM

Visitor Q is twice as disturbing as Audition lol. You need to see it.

Posted by: blindwillie Jan 11 2008, 04:50 PM

Must have been a pain with all that fur. I understand why you shed (is that the correct word?).

Posted by: blindwillie Jan 11 2008, 04:52 PM

Oh most certainly. Luckily I havn't seen it. :

Posted by: VinceG Jan 11 2008, 06:19 PM

I saw a bunch of trailers in youtube for that movie and it was disturbing. The soundtrack for it is mostly black metal stuff so the movie seemed interesting to me.

Posted by: blindwillie Jan 12 2008, 11:31 AM

Check it out, it always leaves me surprised, sickened and... hollow maybe. Empty.

Posted by: Robin Jan 12 2008, 04:18 PM

Really? I didn't know that something like that existed. Just for that I have to watch it

Posted by: VinceG Jan 13 2008, 09:54 AM

Well not really mostly but theres a few black metal bands and a few doom and stoner and other stuff.

I remembered another one, Eraserhead by Lynch

Posted by: Paul Coutts Jan 13 2008, 12:07 PM

Creep....that movie disturbed me....then I realized how dumb it was.
Can someone tell me about Salò o le 120 giornate di Sodoma, I didn't get anything from the trailer....maybe I'm dumb, lol

Posted by: The Uncreator Jan 13 2008, 05:23 PM

Look up 120 Days Of Sodom, that the english translation. Maybe you will get better results...

But its just werid, takes place after world war II, trailers dont show much, there is alot of way more gore/ shock/ disturbing stuff in it.

Posted by: VinceG Jan 14 2008, 12:26 AM

I heard a lot of good things bout Salo. I heard a copy of it cost like $60 and its not even the criterion version.

Men Behind The Sun is also a great disturbing movie. Its about the Chinese government doing experiments on captured soldiers.

Posted by: The Uncreator Jan 14 2008, 03:24 AM

120 Days Of Sodom is also banned in the UK And other countries.

Posted by: Mark Schiewe Jan 15 2008, 12:33 AM

Synopsis:

Set in the Nazi-controlled, northern Italian state of Salo in 1944, four dignitaries round up sixteen perfect specimens of youth and take them together with guards, servants and studs to a palace near Marzabotto. In addition, there are four middle-aged women: three of whom recount arousing stories whilst the fourth accompanies on the piano. The story is largely taken up with their recounting the stories of Dante and De Sade: the Circle of Manias, the Circle of S***and the Circle of Blood. Following this, the youths are executed whilst each libertine takes his turn as voyeur

Salo - and a lot of Pasolini's other films - was banned in the UK for many years. It was however cleared for release a few years ago. (I actually got my DVD copy from the UK National Film Institute.) If I remember right it was cleared at about the same time that there was a flurry of activity in re-releasing the works of the Marquis de Sade in print. It also came at a point when many of the works of Georges Bataille were being translated in to English for the first time. Bataille's 'Story of the Eye' relates to the film Chien Andaluce. Similarly there are cross overs between Bataille's novels and a lot of the concepts in Pasolini's films as well as de Sade and Dante as Mark says.

Personally I found Salo rather dull, and as a piece of social commentary rather over done and heavy handed. Generally, for me, what sets out to shock just doesn't shock me, I just tend to find it a bit obvious, over played and tedious. Same with the various shock horror films. Whilst Pasolini's done much better and more interesting films imo I find David Cronenberg's stuff much more subtle and interesting (Videodrome and Crash, particularly).

A bit OT but I once had an argument with my wife about the Chapman Brothers' work and whether or not my then 4 year old could see it. My wife said emphatically 'no', citing it as 'disturbing and wallowing in death and depravity'. I said 'yes' and thought the only issue was 'whether it was good or bad art' (bad imo). My daughter went, saw and announced that she thought it was 'silly' and much preferred Gavin Turk.

BTW - my interest in Sado and Bataille comes as most of my academic research centres on ontotheology and philosophies of Ethics, transgression, limit and the Impossible.

Cheers,
Tony

i still stand by my choice



Thats some scary vewing

Posted by: Robin Jan 15 2008, 06:49 PM

I think the most disturbing movie I have ever seen is Spiderman 3. It is disturbingly bad

Posted by: Smells Jan 15 2008, 08:46 PM

+1 on that Robin, I watched it a couple of weeks ago, diabolical!

Posted by: fatb0t Jan 16 2008, 07:23 AM

My friends and I are huge horror fans, so we watch all types of films. The most disturbing film I ever saw was Imprint...it's a Japanese film I think. It was insane.


Also "The Girl Next Door" - not that teen flick that came out a few years ago...http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0830558/

I've heard Salo is INSANE...My friend has a reallly old copy on VHS, I'm kinda scared to watch it. hahha

Posted by: Robin Jan 20 2008, 12:57 AM

I just saw it. Based on a true story? Omfg, terribly sad...

Posted by: OrganisedConfusion Jan 20 2008, 01:01 AM

Imprint is awesome.

Posted by: Goliath Jan 21 2008, 10:48 PM

Oldboy. It's pretty visceral and gritty. There is some gore (mostly just violence), but what is disturbing is the extent of which a human is possible of hate. Basically a brief synopsis is a man is abducted for 15 years and has absolutely no idea why. his captor leaves him in a concrete cell that's decked out like a motel, complete w/ TV, etc. One day he wakes up and he is released. He then goes on a warpath vowing revenge to his captor, who readily announces himself but says that if you kill him, you'll never know why he took 15 years of his life from him. So then the quest to find out "why" goes on. Really cool movie. It's originally in Korean, the overdub isn't horrible. This flick was a favorite of the VT shooter here in the states. It's apparently being adapted to english. This is worth a purchase, you can watch it a couple times. Decent fight scenes too, 1 man vs. about 30 in a hallway with a run of the mill 18 oz hammer. Artfully done. Very good film.

Event Horizon - I saw this movie when I was 13 and it scared the stew out of me. This is probably my favorite horror movie. It blends jump scenes, with gore and tension in just the right proportions to leave you worn out. It's not like Saw/Hostel who just unnerves you with anticipation and gore or these other horror flicks that are just jump scenes.

Killer Clowns from Outer Space - meant to be a comedy, I saw it when I was probably 8 or 9. It scared the hell out of me. It was the first time that I realized that something that's typically positive could be horrendously negative. Honestly haven't seen it since, but that's more because it doesn't come on TV anymore.

Posted by: The Uncreator Jan 21 2008, 11:57 PM

Oldboy sounds great, i will have to check that out.

Posted by: VinceG Jan 22 2008, 03:46 AM

I've been wanting to see Oldboy for like a year ot two now. I've first heard about it on the good ol' days of Attack Of The Show when they did a "Must Buy DVD" day or something.

Posted by: OrganisedConfusion Jan 22 2008, 04:23 PM

Old Boy is a good film. Really enjoyed that one.

Posted by: kaznie_NL Jan 23 2008, 04:11 PM

Maybe you can post the movies in " The big YouTube post"!!

Posted by: kyldeee Jan 24 2008, 12:15 AM

Cannibal holocaust, Irreversible, Hostel, to name a few...

Planet Terror, that I just recently watched, with the sickos squeezeing those boils... ugh

Posted by: Robin Jan 24 2008, 02:29 AM

Ohhhh that reminds me! I was gonna see it in the cinema, but I was too late. I gotta check it out

Posted by: fatb0t Jan 24 2008, 06:32 AM

Killer Clowns from Outerspace! hhaha that film is funny as hell!
An old favorite of mine.

Posted by: albino Jan 26 2008, 04:10 PM

This movie is so incredibly bad that it is thoroughly entertaining...The Story of Riki-Oh.
It is a martial arts movie from China, made in the 80's, and features the worst gore scenes [rubber and sauce] I have ever seen. If you can find it watch with the English dubbing; incredible.
Example; Riki is in jail and a tough guy, Oscar, is fighting him. When he looks like losing [after Riki slaps his eye out and its instantly eaten by vultures] Oscar cuts his own stomach open, pulls out his entrails and tries to choke Riki with them by strangulation.
YouTube has some scenes.

Posted by: albino Jan 26 2008, 04:14 PM

Must include 'The Sound of Music' here...the scene where Maria makes the children clothes from lime green floral curtains so they can go to the town had me in therapy for 5 years. I still wake up screaming.

Posted by: albino Jan 28 2008, 04:01 PM

Seriously thought about this post and have to say that the scene in Communion where Christopher Walkin wakes up, goes downstairs and sits in the chair in his country home in the near dark. He senses something there in the room with him. He sees something hiding behind the wardrobe and says 'Is someone there? Who is there?' Then an alien just peeks around the wardrobe with his black soulless eye. The rest of the movie was pretty lame but that scene freaked me out.
The other creepy movie scene was in Signs when the television station showed amateur video footage taken at a child's birthday party. All the kids were screaming and looking out of the window when the alien walks out of the bushes. I needed a change of pants after that. What is it with these aliens?

A few... Have to agree with Audition, Salo and Requiem for a Dream.

Other than that...

- Funny Games (the original Austrian version - haven't seen the recent American shot-by-shot remake, also by Haneke)

- Irrevérsible

- Ai no korrida, in some capacity

Posted by: Mr T Jan 30 2008, 12:30 AM

Usually I don't really like horrors or movies that just try to shock you with excessive violence. I don't find any pleasure in watching them and usually end up doing other stuff than watching the movie before I turn it of.
Event Horizon however, in my opinion is a great movie! Not a whole lot happens at first and it just keeps building up an unnerving atmosphere. I liked that as opposed to the usuall slashing, burning, shooting, etc.
