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

Clockwork Orange, I know that is has been mentioned before but it was the violent craze that it started. The local scum in my home town, I do not live anymore thankfully, began dressing up as the central character Malcolm McDowell complete with bowler hat walking stick and a white shirt. There was an increased amount of violence in the area when that film was released. It was abhorrent to say the least.

Wolf creek

Unbelievable on Netflix recently, excellent but unsettling

As a young child I was terrified by Chitty Chity Bang Bang!

@Blueuggboots Do you mean “Little Fires Everywhere”?!

Salem’s lot
Let the Right One In

Antichrist, hands down the most unsettling movie I've ever watched 😲

Seven ... id never watch it again though ... and The girl with the dragon tattoo .. Cape Fear

Eden lake. Absolfuckinglutely horrific
Don’t let me go. Walked out stunned

The Lives of Others
Pierrepoint
The Boy In The Striped Pyjamas
Life Is Beautiful
The Counterfeiters
Schindler's List
Tell No-one
Angela's Ashes
The Others
Shawshank Redemption

Recently Jojo Rabbit

Oooooooh place marking

Agree with jojo rabbit and for sama - some of the best films I’ve seen, and certainly not rom coms! Both very different though. The other one I’d add is nocturnal animals - beautifully shot (Tom ford directed it) and extremely unsettling - amy Adams is fabulous.

Downfall and Sylvia too

@MrsGrindah - yes, I did mean that!!! 🙈🙈🙈

Sleep Tight
The Devil’s Backbone
Train to Busan
The Hide
Timecrimes

The passion of jesus christ.The mel Gibson film.

So mainly it’s horror films. What did I expect?

Dogtooth

Eden Lake. The ending still makes me feel sick thinking about it and it's been years since I watched it.

Dead Ringers with Jeremy Irons playing both leads. Gynecological tools involved. Grim, haunting.
Magic: ventiloquist dummy personality takover carry on. Ending stays with you forever.
80's shocker called Pin about grown up kids becoming obsessed with their dead fathers anatomical dummy. Extremely bizzare.
Huge yes to Funny Games and Hidden, both excellent.

Great thread... My two are:
The Mist
Into the Wild
I found both endings haunting!

Deliverance really disturbed/ unsettled me (just one particular scene, I'm sure most will know what I'm talking about).
If you want something really "WTF", watch "The Greasy Strangler", when I watched it I couldn't decide if I should laugh, be horrified or be outraged that it was funded by the national lottery!

Come and See.

A 1980s Russian film that follows a young boy fighting the Nazis in the early 1940s. Very, very disturbing horror film...because most of it actually happened.

not sure why it bothered me so much but it's been playing on my mind ever since I rented it on amazon.

The picture didn't work it was a film called Vivarium about a couple that get trapped in a new house on a suburban street.

Lots of films to keep me disturbed for a good while
