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!

@RhianFuckingMorris "up ya bum!"
I love that film. Its definatly difficult to watch in places, I get what you are saying but I really dont think It shyed away from the fact she was a victim. It showed you can be a cheeky young thing AND a victim. Just my view anyway.

@MellowBird me and dh enjoyed wolf creek

Ah you see, I love 'Wish You Were Here', it's such a dark film. I think it's fully realised that she's a victim and not just a rebellious teen. Other films that I feel tread that line in horror vs. normality are Empire of the Sun, Last Exit to Brooklyn, Secrets and Lies, Once Were Warriors amongst others...

Oh god Kids was horrible to watch I think I switched it off. There was another film in the 90s where people got off watching or being in car crashes i am sure thandie newton was in it horrid and i have blanked out the name of it !

Another one here to say the Joker, yes, it's undoubtedly a masterpiece but oh my god it's so harrowing/heartbreaking
Dh, ds & I just sat in stunned silence as the end credits rolled!

Kids by Harmony Korine, just vile Yes. I couldn't finish it.

I feel like this thread is turning into a "things I wish I never googled". Some of the film descriptions are bad enough. I think I've turned into a real softy. Luckily most films I will watch in the coming years will be family friendly 😊

Wolf creek

Any of the conjuring's 😱

Hostel left me uncomfortable for a long time after I watched it. Wouldn’t watch it again if you paid me.
I also didn’t like Alpha Dog - the one with Justin Timberlake. Spoiler

I know it’s based on a true story so the ending was the ending it had to be (I didn’t know the story so the end was a shock to me) and it left me upset and uncomfortable for ages after.

Most films by stanley kubrick- yeah yeah, he's a "genius" whatever etc but he's also a misogynistic prick whose female roles are always portrayed as hapless victims.

Torture films like SAW etc - I love supernatural /stalker horror movies because they are tense and exciting but I truly dont get the appeal of just seeing someone being hacked up and dismembered into bits and/or tortured for the entire film. Why do people enjoy this?

Human centipede- Nuff said.

Dancer in the dark- most depressing film I think Ive ever seen

The stoning of Soraya M- based on a true story and made me literally want to vomit it was so horrific

Anything directed by Lars Von Trier - similar to stanley kubrick- just a load of wannabe artsy misogynistic bollocks

That film was called crash and google tells me it was 2004 i think I'm losing track of time

Alpha Dog is harrowing. I knew the case, so the ending wasn't a shock, but it was still very disturbing. Awful crime.

Orphan, and It

Jody Foster -The accused- brilliant actress but rape scene very uncomfortable.

@SantanaBinLorry

The Watchmen. The rape scene was unnessacary, and was nevr depicted so 'graphically' in the graphic novel. Turned my stomach.

Oh. I absolutely hated watchmen. Everything about it.

I’m still angry about having sat through it (I was pregnant at the time so it was physically uncomfortable too) nearly 11 years later. I would have walked out of the cinema except that (now Ex) DP wanted to see it. I wish I had just left him to it and met him in Starbucks afterwards.

I didn’t enjoy joker either (tbh, I’m inclined to agree with Peter Bradshaw on the over acting). It’s just unpleasant throughout.

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

There's a film a friend told me about, I think it's called Human Centipede or something like that. Horrified. I can't bring myself to even watch a clip of it on YouTube. I haven't seen any of it but the thought of it gives me nightmares

Oh I see @AlexisCarringtonColbyDexter already mentioned it, I type too slow lol

My dd as a teenager had a file share of the human centipede all the kids were watching it was very grainy but repulsive I watched a bit if it before I deleted it ( and banned her off the computer )

@daisychain1620

Yes, I'd give that one a miss for sure! 😱

The hills have eyes shook me for months- couldn’t tolerate the rape scene and not sure how someone even directed/imagined it up.

Recently atonement- not because of gore or violence, but I felt myself feeling really sorry for the fictional love characters in the story- that they never got to be together- I know that’s silly though but it took me by surprise how much it moved me!

Hereditary.

I'm usually fine with horror films but that disturbed the life out of me.

Fair enough It’s a good film in that it achieves exactly what it’s meant to! I just don’t like torture and thought it was very realistic. In fact I think it was based on a true story...

The girl with a Dragon tattoo - unnecessarily graphic rape scene.
All Saw films are shit shock value bollocks

Was just coming on to say hostel and someone else beat me to it. Was awful and had nightmares about it. changeling started off like it was going to be good and got really sinister that played on my mind. I like horror movies but more creepy ghosty ones not mindless torture i went to the cinema to see the last house on the left. Thought it was a haunted house film(it wasn't) more selective in my viewings now a days!
