Thanks so much everyone, I recently watched the platform and it completed gripped me and couldn't stop thinking about it which is just what I need right now! Will start making a list of all these!

Bookmarking to get ideas 😬

Dream house

Never thought I’d recommend this - The Human Centipede - still leaves me feeling disturbed seven years after watching it

Elizabeth Harvest on Netflix. One of the weirdest film I've seen.

I watched Blackfish when I was about 38 weeks pregnant. I say watched, I only got about 15 minutes in to the bit where they’re splitting off the baby whale from the rest of the pod and the adult whales are trying to circle the boat the stop it being captured and taken to sea world. I had to switch it off and cried the rest of the afternoon. My husband came home to find me crying hysterically on the sofa. It has stayed with me for years.

Yes to A Field in England. That is a very weird film.

Also Enter the Void.

Along the lines of upsetting films about children... For Sama. Sad, yes, but important IMO, and it's uplifting as well because it's about the human spirit. It has really stayed with me (watched it maybe 6 months ago).

The Hunger Games. Children killing children, haunted me for days.

Synecdoche, New York

Brexit : The Uncivil War (currently on Netflix)

Regardless of your feelings about the referendum and its result, this film shows that behind the scenes there's a lot of manipulation going on in the political arena worldwide. Stars Benedict Cumberbatch as Durham Dom!

The Machinist.

Seen people recommend the platform..it's crap!

I was so disappointed!

The Babadook is also recommended by me.

American History X - Edward Norton is fantastic in it
Primal Fear
Hostel
Jigsaw - the first one, the numerous sequels don’t have the same impact

The Baby of Macon is both beautiful and horrific.

Harry Brown
Dolores Claiborne

Yes to Bad Boy Bubby but, 30 odd years later, just the memory of Once Were Warriors disturbs me.

The Road. There's one scene which I found so unsettling it's taken me years to get rid of the nightmares!

DH does say I'm too sensitive though

Sinister

I was disturbed for some time afterwards as opposed to unsettled!
