Fan of Horror / Disturbing Movies?
Anyone else like them?
I don't care for cheap slasher / gore like Saw or Hostel. I don't feel any kind of emotion towards any of the characters and find them all annoying and just root for the bad guys to be rid of them.
I loved Oldboy and Last House On The Left (both originals)
I just watched Martyr's today and I'm still processing it. Very disturbing (it gave me an panic attack at one part in the movie) and just very, very sad. But it was emotionally hooking, you fall for and sympathize with the protagonists, with great acting and an actual plot. I'd recommend it if you can stomach it.
Bully wasn't a horror film but it bothered me for weeks. Kids made me feel the same way.

Cracks (2009) was a disturbing movie that is still hanging with me.

Re: Fan of Horror / Disturbing Movies?
Oh yeah, I have seen over 500,000 horror and science fiction films including some of the most disturbing films of all time.
These some of the most disturbing films of all time that I have seen before the age of 30. Some can shock you to the core like Cannibal Holocaust and Salon Kitty. Some can crush your dreams like Virgin's guts. But some like Salo and Aftermath can alter your views on humanity. However, I have been jaded....so I can watch these films as testaments to Humanity's evil and wicked ways.
1. Salo: 100 days of Sodom/In a glass cage
2. Cannibal Holocaust/ Salon Kitty
3. Goodbye Uncle Tom
4. A clockwork Orange
5. I spit on your grave (1979)
6. Joys of Torture Vol 1.
7. Joys of Torture Vol 2.
8. Viva La muerte (1970)
9. Deadgirl
10. Happiness (1998)
11. I stand alone (1998)
12. Begotten (1990)
13. Men behind the Sun (1988)
14. Mermaid in a manhole (1990)
15. Africa: Guts and Glory
16. Shocking Asia
17. Flowers of Flesh and Blood
18.Virgin's guts
19.Aftermath (1994)
20.Titicut Follies

Lost Highway was one of those movies that also had a badass soundtrack as well ;)

Re: Fan of Horror / Disturbing Movies?
I've seen Martyrs. That movie made me feel sick in my soul. It had me screaming and crying for hours after seeing it. People talk about "torture porn" - well, if that's your thing, then Martyrs is your movie.
Cannibal Holocaust also made me feel sick, and the scenes with the animal deaths are all REAL, so beware if you have a soft spot for animals.
EraserHead blew a gasket in my brain. It made me feel so insane and lost. Really creepy and disturbing imagery too.
Any films with torture in it I just cannot handle. I tried to watch 12 Years A Slave, but watching those scumbags beat and torture the slaves over and over again made me want to destroy humanity, or at least the entire white population. But anyway...
This is a horror movie thread right? Sorry got carried away thinking about torture scenes which Americans seem to crave and love in their movies.
-
Re: Fan of Horror / Disturbing Movies?
Let the Right One In - not the American remake, ugh - was phenomenal and was a good match for the book.
Sister My Sister stayed with me for years.

Re: Fan of Horror / Disturbing Movies?
I hated the movie The Grudge but that sound in her throat she makes really freaks me out.
The Machinist was really good. Christian Bale was awesome in it.
I'm a big fan of capture / torture flicks. Loved Mum & Dad, and The Loved Ones was decent...hat tip to Misery in a way, which is another one of my favorites. Love Kathy Bates.
Has anyone watched A Serbian Film???
TW
The newborn rape scene was really disturbing, It was a fake baby obv. but the real baby crys of it all :( I couldn't even finish the film it made me sick to my stomach.

Re: Fan of Horror / Disturbing Movies?
Salo is so fucked up, I cant!
-
Re: Fan of Horror / Disturbing Movies?
And The Strangers bothered me. I already knew the murders it was based on (The Keddy Murders) and all the back details - my gf went out to college near the cabins where the murders took place. The locals never caught the guy who did it. Plus people sneaking up behind you, in masks, unknowingly creeping around in your house...freaks me out.
Hard Candy was another good one I really enjoyed. With Ellen Page and that guy from The Phantom Of The Opera...forget his name.
Oh!
And Bug! http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0470705/ Really liked that one too.

Re: Fan of Horror / Disturbing Movies?
Salo is so fucked up, I cant! A serbian movie gave me nightmares and I cried for a few days, I could not even get through the movie or ever will.

Re: Fan of Horror / Disturbing Movies?
TBH I still can't watch A Serbian Film just because of the infant scene.... I have a kid, I just can't.

Re: Fan of Horror / Disturbing Movies?
Christian Bale was so hot in the Machinist :) His body was so hot and bony....lol!

Re: Fan of Horror / Disturbing Movies?
they killed real animals in some of these movies? and depict babies being raped? i love a scary movie, but that's just absolutely disgusting and shouldn't even be shown or done!!! :(
i guess it really depends on what you find disturbing..i found " would you rather" disturbing, especially the last part. i think its very underrated. " i spit on your grave" was pretty gross, but i found pleasure in seeing that guy get his face melted off in the bathtub full of lye.
other than that, i find realistic war/holocaust movies to be the most disturbing because its actually showing real events that took place, which is the most disturbing part of all of it. cheap horror just either makes me gag or makes me disconnect.
-
Re: Fan of Horror / Disturbing Movies?
Fantastic Planet
Waking Life
Trainspotting
The Holy Mountain
Metropolis (not the cartoon)
The Virgin Suicides
Vertigo
...all changed my life.
I'm more of a fan of fantasy-based psychological thrillers, existential-based scifi, or bizarre surrealist films (my stage name is actually an ode to David Lynch) than like.. actual horror films though. The blood just does not do it for me. I think the excessive blood just makes me like tune out, and it loses its thriller effect. But I can still appreciate a good horror film.
I really like the Elisa Lam story, whose mysterious death seemed to umm... be based on an actual film called Dark Water.

Re: Fan of Horror / Disturbing Movies?
Jack ketchums girl next door was really sad. I like all of steven king some of these you girls mentioned would make me sad especially the infant being hurt, how are they even allowed to kill animals on a movie and get away with it? Or even torture a child I could get if it was a lifetime like movie with a child maybe remembering she was raped and it depicting a baby crying scene but rape? Does it show that? Don't laugh at me my fave of all time is still pet sematary and I love the ramones so that's my shiz.

A Serbian Film is a Swedish film. It's pretty twisted - about a guy who's a porn star, hasn't gotten a lot of work, his life is shit and he finally gets offered a job - the opportunity to work on an "art film" and it really just turns out to be a snuff film and all kinds of fucked up things happen. The baby scene was NOT a real baby anywhere in the movie - you can clearly tell it is a doll and the scene is more implied rather than extremely graphic (you see it from a behind angle) - but it's a heavy scene and I had to turn it off and have never finished the movie. It's banned in like 10 countries and supposedly dubbed as "the most disgusting / disturbing movie ever" by some people.
Cannibal Holocaust was made over 30 years ago. That was the one with the animals that were killed. They killed like 4 different animals I think (It's been awhile since I've watched it). It's about a group of film-makers who go to the Amazon to film a tribe of Cannibals, they go missing - and a rescue group finds the left over footage. So the movie is us watching that, and how the group died. The director was pretty fucked up and was abusive towards the actors and wanted the animal killings by the Amazon natives to help the film feel more authentic. He was arrested for it and had to actually prove it wasn't a snuff film. The fact that they really killed animals for entertainment is really fucked up - besides that the movie is good and it would have been completely fine without those scenes. But I think the director was money hungry - it was 1980's and he was going for shock $ - he got it.
The only other time I've heard about an animal being killed during a movie is Apocolypse Now (1979) - but they filmed an actual tribe ritual of the natives in the area they were filming, they killed a cow (humanely) for themselves and it was eaten, not for shock or entertainment for the film.
Nowadays if someone tried that people would go batshit (I'm sure they did back then too) and we have laws against it now - highly illegal.

Re: Fan of Horror / Disturbing Movies?
wow thanks hayden that really made me feel better to know the child scene as more implied. The holocaust movie seemed like maybe it would have been okay like you said without going and killing anything. I am glad he went to jail. I didn't know about the serbian either so thanks. I have a list of movies to watch now lol. I have seen gummo did any one of you even get it?What was the point of it? I mainly got that it was trying to show what it's like growing up poor in a redneckish town? Gummo has to be the most weirdest I have seen I just didn't get it. The rooster song was funny though.

Brittany-Bitch,
Ruggero Deodato, director of Cannibal Holocaust always pushed good taste in his films to the point of making his actors go crazy. He wrote a book about his love of creating violence in his films as well. He directed some more sick crap after Cannibal Holocaust.... House at the edge of the park is sick in a different way because it is 98 mins of cruelty, sexual violence, and very cruel characters. Plus his cop film, "Live like a cop and die like a man" that has some of the weirdness homoerotic scenes ever in a film. Plus all of the homosexual characters are almost always sexually abuse in his films. But I do believe that he does have a great body of work in horror and action genres. However, that son of bitch is so money hungry he would put anything on the screen. He enjoys abusing many of his actors including the women and minority actors on set. Plus he does not care about animals but his daughter is a hard-core feminist and vegan in Italy :)

Re: Fan of Horror / Disturbing Movies?
WOW!!!!! Anyone who enjoys watching animals and children getting a used on movies have some seriously disturbing, sick twisted hidden fantasies. I enjoy horror movies but draw the line when animals of children are involved. IMO the films should be destroyed; preventing sick people out there recreating the events.

Russiangirl25, many of these films and filmmakers are here on earth to tell stories about the evils that happen on earth. You think that Cannibal Holocaust should be destroyed when it happened in the Amazon during European conquest in real life? Are you saying Salon Kitty should be destroyed when women in the holocaust were forced to be sex slaves of the SS? My point being is that these films highlight the depths of human evil.Many of the film mention are films created to show the depths of humanity's dark side. Plus maybe if you read on film as an artform then you can see what people are talking about.Many of these directors such as Deodato and Pier Paolo Pasolini are feature in film theory courses around the world yet they directed some of these disturbing films.A lot of these films mention such as the Serbian film are telling of the story of what happen in the Bosnian war to some Serbian people.The director was making a point about how many Serbians felt fucked after the Bosnian war. You do not think that during the Bosnian war that children did not get raped? Then you are sadly mistaken, my dear. There is a different between art and snuff film. I am a fan of these films because these stories need to be told because the world is not full of sunshine. It is just like when as an PSO...sometimes you have to pretend to be into ageplay or rape fantasies. Also many ladies were just commenting of what they have seen.No one really enjoys the Serbian film or Cannibal Holocaust on here.
No one was talking about snuff films because they do not exist .Plus no one ever said that children actually got raped during the Serbian film. It was just an minor scene for shock value.Plus Cannibal Holocaust and films during that period can not be judged by modern day standards. They were made 35 years old during the 1970s. Goodbye Uncle Tom was 43 years old when an Italian film crew could get a bunch of poor Haitians together, pay them 500 a week, and abuse them on set.However, the blacks and white people involved in the film knew that they had to recreated the slave conditions in order to tell the horrors of slavery. It would be unthinkable now to do such a thing. Plus human beings were during sick stuff way before film and literature came out. You can not blame film for perverts who want to rape and murder. That is like nutjobs blaming sex workers for men wanting rape women and other men.
-
Re: Fan of Horror / Disturbing Movies?
I enjoy disturbing films because they give me an insight into other people's mental states that I've always found interesting from a criminology POV without any danger to myself.
And romantic comedies just don't do it for me. They're boring.
IMO A psychologically stimulating movie can be beneficial sometimes (ex: because of Requiem for a Dream, I will NEVER touch intravenous drugs like heroin. Ever ever ever ever. holy shiz.)
-
Re: Fan of Horror / Disturbing Movies?
i think there is a difference between a director/writer showing the darker side of humanity and delving into it and educating the watcher and actually trying to say something, and a movie that just glorifies and revels in torture, murder, rape, etc and has nothing to say except " these are the grossest, most morally reprehensible things i could think of, all put together just for shock value!"
i'm not into censorship and i don't think movies should all be rainbows and unicorns but i do have a soft spot for kids and animals, so that just seems really wrong :( but i am relieved to hear that it was a lot more humane that i was thinking
