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 Descent - it has the best 'jump scare' of any film I have ever seen (threw a drink all over myself!)

At primary school we watched a programme called "Through the Dragon's Eye" (part of the "Look and Read" series) and that gave me nightmares for months!

Moon, directed by Duncan Jones. I think about what happened in that film now and again, stayed with me!

I am a horror/gore/scary movie fanatic and it takes a hell of a lot of disturb me. I can honestly say, hand on heart, Eden Lake is the most disturbing, unsettling film I've ever seen in my life. Not easy to watch at all. Very realistic and uncomfortable to watch.

Irreversible.

Its French but subtitled. I watched this years ago and it has stayed with me ever since. I will never be able to watch it again and if you read reviews, almost everyone says the same. Very disturbing and twisted and sad.

The scene in the middle of the film almost had me throw up and to this day, I can not go through or see an underpass without this film coming to mind.

Oh God - Irreversible - the only movie I've had to fast forward through.

I wish I had done that because that film had stuck with me ever since

Mum and Dad (not to be confused with the Nicholas Cage film MOM and Dad.

Knocked me sick for weeks.

There are 2 films I always recall that creeped me out (neither likely to be as extreme as some mentioned):
Boxing Helena - just really weird
Silent Hill - really creepy

I'm just here to google all the IMDb synopses and be really creeped out!

Although I loved the Platform. But it haunts me still.

Salvage - I had to hunt for this as I couldn't remember the title, but I remembered that Debbie Rush (played Anna Windass in Corrie) was in it. I watched it ages ago, but it gave me the heebie jeebies for quite some time afterwards.

Interesting fact - it was filmed on the old Brookside set!

It's available on Amazon Prime.

salvage looks like my kind of film. I'll bookmark that one. Thank you!

I'm not sure of the name but it had Reece Witherspoon and Mark Wahlberg? Possibly called Fear?

All house invasion films make me uncomfortable.

Last House on the Left. Horrible scenes in that.

Vacancy

Human Centipede 1&2 , just warped. Don't know why i watched the 2nd one.

A Clockwork Orange

The Purge

Brokenchair1, Gothika! I quite enjoyed it.

Hey, you're more than welcome @thenightsky.

I keep remembering more (I must have a very slow release memory - ha!). I watched this on TV in the early 90s and it really unsettled me at the time. Not often you can say this about a Meg Ryan film!

If you think it's crap, at least a youthful Dennis Quaid provides some recompense.

I defer to my movie guru, Mark Kermode:

Another vote for Lilya 4-ever
My dh was inconsolable after watching this.
Truly one of the saddest films i'd ever seen.
