What films have left a bad taste in your mouth?

[GnomeOrMistAndIceGuy]

Spoilers, sorry! I just put a film on to procrastinate doing the housework and now im regretting it! It was called Exhibit A, on amazon prime. It was one of those found footage films so I assumed it would be a bit of paranormal silliness, but not at all. Has anyone else seen it? I just found it really really unpleasant and I think anyone who's been through domestic abuse would really struggle to watch it. Particularly horrible when you think of news stories where abusive men have just annihilated their whole family.
What other films just leave you with an unpleasant feeling afterwards? Another for me was one called Megan is Missing. It was about a girl who meets up with a guy online and goes missing. And her friend tries to track her down. It was quite good in a creepy way until the last half hour where theres a really brutal close up rape and bits of torture. Another one I went away from wishing I hadnt bothered!

Shuttle. Its not very well known, but the ending didn't leave me for days.

The Devils rejects.

I've seen the Saw films a few times now and was OK with Hostel and Wolf Creek. Not dared watch the Human Centipede or A Serbian Film (I've read the synopsis after hearing about it on here)

DHs is Schindlers List.

Oh, and The Hills Have Eyes, Deliverance and Southern Comfort.

Something v. unsettling about bloodthirsty rednecks in the wilderness but I guess that's the point.

Beaches, incredibly sad
Sixth Sense, terrified me

The Accused - it’s a brilliant film brutal rape scene but felt it was needed to tell the story

Changeling - Stayed with me for a number of days

Whiplash - it’s a fantastic film very very uncomfortable at times

I think Wish you were Here is a fantastic film Emily Lloyd is amazing I think you always sense her vulnerability and emptiness the ending is so emotional

@IveSeenThings

Jack Reacher films. Tom shortarse twatface Cruise as Jack Reacher? Just no

So glad this was said @TheCanyon
All kinds of wrong!

I rewatched Back to the Future a while back and the attempted rape just was horrible, and I haven't let the children watch it. It just seemed to go on far too long, and was completely unnecessary.

Wow- BTTF? I totally missed that, it was standard Xmas tv when I was a kid

Loved The Green Mile, some of the scenes in it won’t leave me, but it doesn’t leave a bad taste in my mouth the way other films might.

Leaving Las Vegas might be a great film, but I cannot understand why anyone would watch it more than once. Unhealthy relationship 101.

Love Actually.... lasted about the first 30 minutes, so missed most of what pp relate. Can only give my first impression of mysogenistic twee manipulative ‘comedy’.

I love horror movies, but mainly supernatural. Thanks for giving hints of ones to stay clear of

Not a bad taste exactly, but I would never be able to watch Dead Man's Shoes again. Also Monster.

Pretty Woman leaves a bad taste.

Fatal Attraction- the Bunny scene
The first scene in Law Abiding Citizen
Eyes wide Shut
American beauty ( or anything with Kevin Spacey in it)
Song of the South ( no wonder it's been banned)

At the end of the day, the fact remains that many people enjoy stuff which might be considered by others to be horrific.

I was put very firmly in my place on MN when, a year or so ago, I reacted regarding the immolation scene in GoT where a young girl gets very graphically burned at the stake, alive. I want to add my DH was watching the whole GoT, and I elected to sit sideways on the sofa, reading, to be 'companiable'. That scene wasn't avoidable.

Apparently, on MN, I was being completely ridiculous.

I have come to the conclusion that there are an awful lot of people 'out there' whose base instincts would terrify me, were the ever thinner veneer of 'civilisation' to be stripped away much further.

I love my DH completely. But I can't deny his lack of emotion watching much of the savagery of GoT disturbed me, a bit.

However, as a coalface HCP, if I want to see blood, gore and savagery up close, I go to work.....

Another here who couldn't sit through Event Horizon. 20+ years later it is still the only film I've walked out of halfway through at the cinema.

[quote GodIsAnAstronaut]@Patbutcherismyhero Green Inferno? That film made me uncomfortable too. [/quote]
Yes I think that will have been the film pat saw from the description.

It is actually based on and in Eli Roths words homage to another equally entitled to be on this thread film called cannibal holocaust which among other films at the time were banned in its full cut on its release. It was a hugely controversial film at the time the director was even arrested and then later cleared of murder of the stars of it.
Along with a few of others from a similar time
Last house on the left
I spit on your grave have already been mentioned although I'm not sure if posters have meant the recent remakes or the original full cut banned versions. All of these and a few others were banned in their original release in their uncut version in the uk because of the extreme nature of them.
All of them were deliberately made to be as distressing as possible.
The were all part of a particular genre of horror at the time and the makers didn't feel they had done their job if they didn't get banned.

Wolf creek is actually based on (or at least the main character and parts of the story) a real Australian serial killer who is thought to be "working" in the Australian outback. There have been several unsolved murders and disappearances of campers and backpackers etc all thought to probably be connected. As yet there is no actual proof it is one person but authorities are pretty convinced but it's such a large isolated area that it's impossible to catch or even gather the evidence to build the case.

The Kingsman - enjoyed it all the way through then at the end a damsel in distress is rescued by having anal sex with the spy. Instantly wrecked.

I agree re dreams of a life. Was very poignant and sad how such a beautiful well liked woman could lay undiscovered for what 4 years? She had a good job, she had friends, she had wrapped presents for her family, her bills mustnt have been paid for years and yet not one person raised the alarm that she was missing. Is the most baffling thing ever.

I think one of the reasons her death wasn't discovered for so long is because he bills were actually being paid but automatically through direct debit so no company or landlords etc were flagged.

It's so sad, the posts on here are right it's unbelievable an obviously well liked woman could just die and no one notice enough to check on her.

A Clockwork Orange
Funny Games - an Austrian film about a home invasion
The Accused

Anything which uses rape.

Hereditary. I turned if off after they found the head. It was just unpleasant.

All of the Saw films.

Centipede, honestly who dreamed that one up?

I once watched a film with Kate Winslet about a pedophile that lived in her neighborhood. I had no idea what the movie was about before I watched it and ugh, the whole thing was just awful. Not the acting but the story.

What's that one where the woman has no arms and legs and is kept in a box for sex?

The Breakfast Club.

One girl is sexually harassed and actually assaulted throughout the film and then... happy ending! She falls for the gut who treated her that way.
Meanwhile independent thinker suddenly had a makeover into a frilly blouse and an Alice band and bingo! Happy ending she finds love!

Utterly creepy sexist film. I have no idea how it was the feel good teen movie of a generation.

Wtf?!

The Cook The Thief His Wife and Her Lover.

Boxing Helena, also fucked up beyond belief.

Yes that's it, boxing Helena, another misogynistic wet dream where the woman ends up as a powerless sex toy!
