Which film do you wish you hadn't seen (not because it was crap)

[GiganticusBottomus]

I saw Fennel posted on the 'we need to talk about Kevin' thread saying she's just seen the film and wished she hadn't

I really wish I hadn't seen 'Seven' I found it really disturbing.

Any other films you recommend avoiding?

Creep is the one I was thinking of. The scene in the "clinic" area is just horrible.

I saw Trainspotting after I'd had my children and just couldn't get that dead baby out of my head.

Also Wolf Creek stayed with me for a long time. Especially when you get to see the things he has piled up in his lair and realise that there have been children in some of the cars he has hijacked :( Doesn't bear thinking about.

The original When a Stranger Calls frightened me to death too. The idea of the killer calling you from a phone inside your house. The remake wasn't anywhere near as scary.

One Flew over the Cuckoo's Nest. Made me cry and cry. To think that lobotomies were considered appropriate medical treatment.

Marathon Man (I think of every time I am at the dentist), and Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy (similarly, because of the torture scenes).

I love horror films and it takes a lot to disturb me but the scene in Last King of Scotland when his has his wife killed because she was having an affair with James Mcavoys character, that stayed with me for days, think because I wasn't excpecting it

I have not read the thread but I would be amazed if I was the first to say Requiem for a Dream.

Well acted and thought provoking but there are some bits that stay with you and make you wish for mind bleach

Another vote for Jacobs ladder and also Sophie's choice here.

Also i've loved you so long with kristin Scott Thomas - very well made but disturbing and stayed with me for ages.

Paranormal Activity. Watched it a few weeks ago, had to switch it off half way through. Still think about it and get a little freaked out, so does my partner and he's normally nails.

I live jaws it is my favourite film of all time! Also love seven and silence of the lambs (not sure what that says about me) however I can't watch paranormal stuff. Loved x-files but watched most I it from between my fingers!! I have watched te 1st saw but won't bother with the others. Found creep ridiculous and not at all scary, just one of those gratuitous ott films (ditto keepers creepers) but I could never watch paranormal activity or things like poltergeist.

I suppose the film the messed with my head the most was Halloween, though I was 13 at the time, still can't watch it now and I hate the Michael mask thr you can et every Halloween. I've warned dh that I WILL divorce him if he chooses that for his costume!

Dark knight. Very disturbing.

Also Juno. Broke my heart.

the films i really wish i hadn't seen are Wolf Creek, Funny Games and 28 days later. they made me feel like my world wasn't real, and the film's was.

The Hills Have Eyes remake. I like horror films and I enjoy their campy formula - the dog dies, the fat one dies, the annoying girl dies - but this is the first one I've had to turn off.

Not schlocky but revolting. I lasted quite a long way out of disbelief but the mutant rapists are what did it.

Sophie's Choice.

Breaking the waves. Very well done and amazing acting but just sooooo depressing.

I was really upset by Cold Mountain, the scene where the parents are being tortured and the two sons burst out of hiding to save their mum and they get shot.

The pianist where the old disabled man is tipped out of his wheelchair from the balcony.

Horrid.

Sorry if TMI.

Funny games, requiem for a dream, irreversible, the mist, dancer in the dark all upset me a lot, still can't get them out of my head.
Milky being beaten in this is England, The rape scene and the killing of the rapist in this is England 86. Also Lols suicide attempt in TIE 88, just harrowing. But an amazing film/series nonetheless!

Wolf Creek & Blair Witch Project both really disturbed me. Not sure why I watched as very easily distrurbed by films

I regret watching "On the Beach" about people in Australia waiting for the radiation from world war three to drift south and kill them, the scene where the young couple poison their baby and then themselves....haunting. Very well made film from the early sixties but couldn't watch it again.

I really wished I hadn't watched The Human Centipede & The Hills Have Eyes. There was nothing redeemable in either, no good characters or plot. They really were just depraved for the sake of it & I'll never watch them again!

the road,made me decide i would not leave my children on this earth if i couldnt be with them.

good thread.

I remember 'The Accused' affecting me badly too.

I don't watch scary or disturbing films, havent since I was about 18, i just would not be able to put myself thru it. Just too scared.

Agree completely about Candyman and the Ring, although Seven did live with me afterwards I would and did watch it again.

My vote would be for the Machinist, just disturbing on many levels, including the freakish weight loss of Christian Bale who plays the lead

Osama is the saddest film I've ever seen. It's about a young girl in Afghanistan who pretends to be a boy to earn some money, as she and her mother are so poor.

I am Legend - hate any film with scary non-human things that look like people but move differently. I fell off my chair in the cinema and stayed on the floor with that one. I also hated The War of the Worlds (the one with Tom Cruise) because it was so bleak. Total destruction of humanity definitely freaks me out, so The Road will have to be a no for me. My husband read the book but couldn't read the end and couldn't sleep till the book was out of the house.

The other one for me is The Neverending Story with the drowning horse. Awful, awful.

The Mist, brilliant film but the ending is just so bleak. Trainspotting - i was pg with DD3 and the baby scene was just too much, i was inconsolable. The Lovely Bones - a bit crap and far fetched but oh-so-sad. The Road, i don't know why the hell i watched it after seeing DH crying his eyes out at the book ( i wont read it now).

And finally ... One Day, FFS everybody was going on about the book and i had no idea about the ending - i really liked her character and was really pissed off (and crying my eyes out) when i left the cinema.

I don't watch much horror anymore but i found The Evil Dead utterly terrifying - I'm scared shitless of Zombies but my DH has been trying to get my tolerance up with watching a few since we've been married - he recently got me to read a new book by Isaac Marion which has been made into a film called 'Warm Bodies' (due out in August i think) where a Zombie (slightly different Zombie genre in the book where Zombies are capable of basic thought but its a bit grim how they manage it) falls in love with a woman - i thought it would be Twilight crapness but its a fantastic book, beautifully written - think the film might be a let-down though.

Torture films are way out of my parameters though - Saw, Hostel et al is just too much for me.

Monster - horrible
