*trigger warning - upsetting content* The most upsetting film you've ever seen...

[YellowRedBlueGreen]

Harry Brown - I absolutely hated it and felt depressed for days, probably because those kinds of gangs are real and only 100 miles down the road. I was especially hurt watching the two beginning scenes, where they shoot a Mum walking her baby in a park just for a laugh and when they beat to death an innocent man trying to stop his car being vandalised. It reminded me of a particularly well known case 15 odd years ago (GN) 💔

Midnight Express - when they hung the cat purely out of spite because they knew the prisoner loved it. I can't watch it

Dumbo - when the Mean Elephants reject him and he's crying by his bucket of water. Fucking kills me

Les Jeux Interdits - a little girl whose parents were killed by German bombers is befriended by a little boy….
I won’t tell you more in case you watch it. It is heartbreaking.

Water
About a little eight year old Indian girl who is a widow living in a widows’ segregated community intended to prevent them from re-marrying and the fate that befalls her. Just heartbreaking.

The Green Man
Utterly sinister in the coldest possible way.

Rosemary’s Baby

The series “Now They See Us” on Netflix.

Absolutely horrendous, true story, I cried and cried at the ending when the pictures of the real boys (now men) showed up with text explaining what they’ve achieved since being released from prison. 😪

The Human Centipede. Don't watch it, seriously.
Wolf Creek another vile creation.
Hostel. No, no no thank.
Saw can just do one.

Deliverance

I forgot that, and agree, that is particularly upsetting.

Hotel Mumbai. I had to leave the room, unbearable

The Act of Killing

Sophie's Choice is the reason why, decades later, I only had 2 children. I can grab both.

Some stuff just isn't entertainment. It's haunting.

I'm very selective in my viewing these days.

I watched this as a child and had an asthma attack, I was so upset! x I've never watched it again and probably never will again.

The most upsetting movie I ever saw was Dancer in the Dark. I cried so hard at the end of the movie it physically hurt. When Bjork's character is being dragged off for her death sentence it emotionally killed me.

I Daniel Blake, I admit I'm on benefits & came close to getting shafted by the assessment service & DWP but luckily I am a former Civil Servant & know my way around reconsiderations & appeals, for anyone who doesn't
know their way around the system it is a minefield. As I was watching the film I could recognise staff similar to ones I had encountered. For anyone who had never been in the position of having to claim benefits I can understand how shocking it would be.

Me too :(

Threads gave me nightmares as a kid. We had to watch it in school in the 80's, Didn't think I would have to worry about stuff like nuclear conflict in my lifetime, and thought it was just the likes of Sting overly worried about if Russian's love their children too...oh how wrong could someone be!

Nobody's Child channel 4.

About a girl who is first sold to her dad's mates when he's lost playing cards with his mates.

Then mum & dad split up, girl is happy as he seems nice and buys her a new dress. She gets excited as mum and new boyfriend her to put the dress on for a party. All going well at the party until she loses at a party game, they've set her up to lose. The loser (girl) has to perform sexual acts on all their friends. They're all her friends parents and neighbors.

No Child Of Mine? Was it with Brooke Kinsella? I've not watched it but heard about it years ago

“No Child of Mine”. I saw that. What happened to the little girl is true. It is completely harrowing. You can only hope that the shelter she found in the end helped her heal.

The Wind that Shakes the Barley
I, Daniel Blake.
Ken Loach is a such an amazing director.

Also The Elephant Man, and In the Name of the Father.
All heartbreaking films exposing real life terrible injustices.

I watched a film as a child, whilst at a childminders, about a young girl burning in a car and her spirit enters another child possessing her and there are flashbacks.

I've never known the name of it but it's stuck with me!

Scared me then & now!

Absolutely agree with Sleepers and Dopesick, both totally upset me to the core in different ways.

Sisters of War - an Australian war film based on the true stories of a nun & an Army nurse captured by the Japanese in Ww2 New Guinea... so harrowing & upsetting, I was in tears through most of it!

Undercover films of animals suffering in farms and abbatoirs. They haunt me

Was it maybe Audrey Rose? With a young Anthony Hopkins?

Mine would be Still Alice, as what happens to the protagonist happened to my grandmother and my mother at a very young age and I always fear it will be my fate.

Sleepers- i still think it was the most upsetting film i have seen
Don't read the book then. Far more graphic 😢

American History X

So traumatic. Can't even think about one particular scene.

My fave film ever ! It's not sad !

I've watched most of these named .

I tried to watch irreversible and I just can't .

I can never watch shindlers list again .

Or where the wind blows .

Oh god kes.

I can't watch that again either . I wa ted to fuckin kill that bellend of a brother 100 times over.

Monster. The scene where Charlize Theron’s character is raped with a piece of metal. I went with a guy I was dating. I walked out at that point I just couldn’t watch it. My date was pretty disturbed by it as well.

Sleepers. Have never forgotten that storyline even though it’s been close to 30 years.
