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

Eden Lake.
It’s horrible.

I have no idea if anyone has already mentioned it but for me, it was "Dear Zachary".

It's actually a documentary.

I felt like I was broken into a million pieces after I watched it.

Another documentary film that has stayed with me is, "Three Identical Strangers".

Just when you think you understand, you realize you don't.

A Serbian Film

Most of the films mentioned here didn’t get to me but in a past job I used to have to watch screeners of films and a lot on here were there.

Great suggestions, place marking for later

Somebody mentioned Fish tank..I love that movie..I didnt find it unsettling as such but it's always stayed with me for some reason.
I think Fassbender is brilliant in it as is the young girl who plays the lead.

Also, *One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest". Brings me to uncontrollable tears.

There was one. When I worked in blockbuster. That everyone said was horrific. It even got banned.

I came on here to say 'Johnny Got His Gun' but a PP beat me to it. I too (like the PP) watched it late at night as a teen but I was too young to be stoned.

Antichrist
The Orphanage
Requiem for a Dream
Let the right one in

Poughkeepsie Tapes and Irreversible.

I See You
The Orphanage
Cache (so much so I have erased it from my memory)
Funny Games

Right thanks to this thread I’ve just spent hours watching first the visit and then fractured the latter has blown my mind this is a great thread and has turned my boring Saturday night in into a movie night so thanks op.

Prisoners with Hugh Jackman and Jake Gyllenhaal. It stuck with me for ages.

Mother!

Parasite.

The Butterfly effect,
May be you've seen it, it's old but gold.
Very unsettling, I still can't get myself to watch it again.

Hotel Rwanda - based on Rwandan genocide. Some really shocking scenes

Lilja 4ever - about human trafficking and sex trade. It still haunts me.

@Purpletigers yes this what I was going to say -Last House on the Left - utterly disturbing, horrible. Really, really shook me up and stayed with me.

Following

Hotel Rwanda
The Last kind of Scotland
Filth
