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!

I think I'm getting my Crashes mixed up

Devils knot. So sad that it's actually based on a true story too. Cannot get them image of three young boys being pulled out of a stream bound and naked .. absolutely haunts me. To the point I can't walk to my own bathroom in the dark. Seems pathetic but it's like it's imprinted on my eyeballs such a sad a horrific story.

Definitely getting my crashes mixed up the latter urgh. Sorry Thandie newton your crash Is better

The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo (2011)--the rape scene. Disturbing. Have to fast forward it.

Scum. The thought of it upset me for years.

I remember really wanting to watch Pans Labyrinth and then wishing I hadn't :(

I think one film that stayed with me, for all the wrong reasons, is Sin City, with Elijah Woods character. Stayed with me for a long long time.

I don't watch horror anymore. Even trailers can make my brain work overtime.

@Collidascope- I was only thinking about Pretty Woman the other day, and how it misrepresents prostitution. How many women involved get a fairytale ending?

Yes, Elijah Wood in Sin City. I can't watch him in anything else now without getting the creeps.

@MellowBird85. I’m sure I know the scene that you’re referring to in Amistad. It sometimes flashes into my mind when I least expect it. Probably the most heartbreaking thing I’ve seen.

The worst thing about Dragon Tattoo is that both Noomi Rapace and Rooney Mara had to audition using the rape scene. Bastard directors.

Others include everything by David Lynch, The Joker, anything involving children being hurt, Sin City (wank fodder for 15 year olds), and Event Horizon. The latter wasn't tasteless, just terrifying.

I think it was called Bad Bosses and starred Jennifer Aniston. Basically she drugs her boss and rapes him when he's asleep and it's meant to be funny. Had to stop watching after that as it was wrong on so many levels.

Last house on the left. Im a huge horror fan, been watching them almost 40 years and the rape scene is probably the most disturbing thing ive ever seen. The bit where her parents find her and realise whats happened is almost as bad. I turned it off at the point. Took the dog for her normal walk in the woods the next day and had my first ever panic attack thinking someone was hiding behind a tree. Utterly horrible.

Another vote for Requiem for a Dream. Left me feeling very uneasy.

Also Sleepers.

@ShesMadeATwatOfMePam

Just read the plot! 🤯

I mean, really, though - who writes abhorrent shite like this??

Last House on the Left due to rape scene. Just left me feeling really uneasy. The final scene of Nightmare on Elm Street stays with me as well as the scene where he drags a body through the empty school. Shiver.

Me, Myself and Irene. Stars off like a comedy but then Jim Carrey's character scalps someone. I wasn't expecting it and it made me feel sick.

Wolf Creek felt like a film for people who really hate women. Deeply uncomfortable. Also Eden Lake left me feeling really unsettled.

Oh and also Creep, about people trapped in the Underground with a weird man-creature. Horrible and unsettling.

Babel - animal torture and death.
Apocalypse Now - animal torture and death.
Unfortunately they’re not the only films that directors saw fit to kill animals for. Some grim reading on the net.

I completely agree about Kingsman, that bit at the end made me feel really disappointed in the whole film and uncomfortable. Made me question if I’m uptight but I know I’m really not. I didn’t want my teenage boys to watch it because of the anal sex reward and for them to think that’s ok. 🤢

@DisgraceToTheYChromosome my husband also found Event Horizon profoundly disturbing.

Knocked up. The birth scene. 🙄

The changeling for me too. I still think about that film. I think it stuck with me because it was based on real events.

Apocalypto stuck with me too. Really brutal film.

longtompot, I watched pans Labyrinth when I was about 14 thinking it was a sort of kids film (must have been on the TV) I really wish I hadn't.
