To ask for films that have unsettled you

[marmite92]

I am in need of films that will actually keep me engaged and take my mind off my life at the moment, nice rom coms don't cut it right now! So please send your list of weird/disturbing/unsettling films my way

The Road . Got to the scene where they open the door to the cellar and couldn't watch anymore. Has stayed with me for ages. Don't ever need to see the rest of the film !

If you want great thought provoking/sad films instead of just 'disturbing', Into The Wild and Pans Labyrinth are both excellent!!

The Mist
Into the Wild
I found both endings haunting!

Oh my, yes! It's been years since I watched these films, but they both stuck with me for ages. The ending of The Mist in particular absolutey floored me. It was like being winded. Ooof!

Into the Wild has reminded me of another film (more of a documentary really) that really gripped me and had me Googling for hours afterwards. It's called Grizzly Man by Werner Herzog. OMFG - the scene where Werner is listening to the tape...

Sleepers

@BarkandCheese the Heathers as a musical! That is so ....random.
Christian Slater looks like the love child of Colombo in this....

The Road with Viggo Mortensen.
Post apocalyptic, unsettling and disturbing.
It stayed with me for a while after I watched it.

@ilovecardigans grizzly man - the tape audio must be awful & it’s for the best the audio has never been released. Very good doco

I also vote for Buried with Ryan Reynolds.

Creep.

@vikingwife I think I remember Werner advising Timothy's ex-girlfriend that she should destroy the tape. Hopefully she has.

Megan is missing soo fucking disturbing

Also Straw Dogs

Black Swan

There’s a great film of around that vintage called Society

Its on netflix or prime at the moment

No help to you if you don’t have netflix or prime...and I can’t remember which one

@ilovecardigans as I understand it she has destroyed the tape, or at least kept it off the internet. Insert bad “grisly/grizzly” comment here

Once Were Warriors

Very upsetting and unglamorous depiction of violence against women.

Midsommer.

Oh yes the changeling with angelina jolie and Steve buscimi (no idea how to spell his name!). Properly freaked me out when I watched it at about 15/16.

Grave of the Fireflies

Sorry, not movies but series:
Chernobyl
Babylon Berlin
Deutschland 83
Killing Eve
Charité

Chernobyl is very harrowing.

Have remembered one more - Letters From Iwo Jima. Brutal, poignant and utterly heartbreaking. I almost forgot to breathe when I was watching it.

Fragile starring Calista Flockhart - I'm a horror fan and can happily watch horrors on my own when my husband is working abroad but this movie terrified me!

Cannibal Holocaust, I would never watch it but my brother says it's so disturbing as it's made in 'lost footage' format.

Dans la maison

Amazon Prime. En francais .
