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?

I can't watch anything like Saw or Hostel. I can't watch that sort of gory 'violence for violence' sake'. Unfortunately I did accidentally see the bit where the girl is tied to the chair and screaming her head off whilst the man takes a blowtorch to her eyes. Sick. Who actually gets given money to make rubbish like that?

Oh yes and the film "Escape from Sobibor" was truly upsetting....

I agree with pretty much everyone, and would like to add Bad Boy Bubby and the Deer Hunter to the ever growing list.

Wish I'd never read the synopsis of a Serbian film, that stayed in the back of my mind for months.

That said, it was fiction. I have just put the tv on and its some guy, children's services are trying to take his child into foster care for neglect, guy is upset, child is howling, I can't watch this

Funny Games.

Oh no now the mothers crying this is awful

Eden Lake - horrible, horrible. Just made me scared of what teenagers can be capable of.
Human Cantipede - very silly film, but very very disturbing
Fire in the Sky - for some reason terrified me

And I also remember the American History X kerb scene, and wish I didn't

I love Clockwork Orange - though the subjetc matter is disturbing the film is so well directed, choreographed (spelling?) and directed.

the wiki synopsis of Mum and Dad has made me ill. I've gone all cold and clammy.

Oh yes and Rosemary's Baby. I had recurring nightmares about that while pregnant with DD2 - think it is over the lack of control Rosemary has over her pregnancy

I have always loved horror films, but as I've got older I've realised it's a certain type that I love - I adore scream, I know what you did last summer, final destination etc. it took me a good few horror films to work that out though :(

Eden Lake appalled me. I started off thinking it was a bit lame, but I ended it feeling really distressed and sitting on the edge of the soda ramrod straight. If I'm being completely honest, it did play a tiny part in my decision not to move from rural north Wales to Ipswich (stupid I know)

DP made me watch requiem for a dream and I have successfully blocked most of it out.

Is wolf creek the Australian one with two girls and a boy? Is there a scene in there where the bad man rapes/threatens to rape a girl with a knife? Because when I saw it first I was a teenager in my mums house with a tv in my bedroom that you had to operate at the set instead of with a remote. When that scene came on I leapt from my bed shouting "no no no no no no!" and trying to turn it over without lookin at the screen.

I also watched the human caterpillar over a period of three days and wish I hadn't made myself do it. Ditto "I spit on your grave" which is just horrific.

I watched one recently called Wake Wood that was quite sad as opposed to scary. That has stayed with me as well.

I also find the episodes of ER in Africa extremely distressing.

Oh yes, the kerb scene in American History X. I'd like to erase that from my memory but can't.

I used to be able to watch anything and I absolutely love post-apocalyptic horror. But for some reason I went to watch I Am Legend at the cinema and it had me sobbing all the way home. My Dh was going 'what's the matter? are you ok?' me: 'nooooooo, i'm not but I don't know whyyyyy'.

I never cry at films (except Titanic ).

The one film that has scared me shitless is The Amytiville Horror. I cannot watch it if I am in the house on my own.

I also wish I could un-watch the remake of The Hills Have Eyes. Just plain ole nasty.

That Japanese one where the ghost keeps appearing in odd places...and she hangs over the girls bed really close while the girl is asleep....

Just though of another. The Vanishing, the original one. Gave me nightmares.

I watched 'Harry Brown' whilst pregnant and it left me feeling very low. I panicked for weeks about what kind of a world I was bringing my child into. I'll never watch it again as just thinking about it now makes me so sad.

For me the terrifying aspect of 28 Days later is not the zombies, but the intended actions of those left alive... I cannot imagine for a minute if I were one of the few left alive I would behave like that to others surviving with me

I saw an awful film about torture when I was at university, really wish I hadn't stayed for the entire film.

I never really watch horror films though...

I liked the 28 days film, but the sequel upset me because the husband abandoned the wife

DP and I have discussed potential zombie/crazy stranger attack and we have always done so in the assumption that we love each other too much to abandon each other and that we would fight our way through together, leaving with the cat, the dog and our OFRSssssss, but 28 weeks later left me wondering whether DP would actually stay, or if The Fear would take hold....

god, loads and I'm not in to torture porn like Saw and Hostel etc...

The Mist - very good but the ending was horrific and stayed with me for ages.
Seven - wanted to walk out the cinema, I found it too disturbing.
casualties of War - ditto
Sophies Choice - the camp scene is horrific and will haunt me forever.
The Bone Collector - again too disturbing just for the sake of being disturbing.
The Accused - so emotional and angry but a great movie
Deliverance - fantastic but again puts you through the ringer.
A Clockwork Orange

Saw Eden Lake last week as a like Michael Fassbender but couldn't watch it all - the torture scene for me was unwatchable and physically distressing.

Made the mistake of catching some of The Hills Have Eyes - not my usual type and it was horrific without any redeeming features.

When I was studying in France I read a review of some arty sounding, interesting film and took my friend along to see it. It was called Romance and it was one of the most uncomfortable films I have ever sat thru. I love movies but I was desperate to walk out of that one, horrible sexual scenes and a weak plot, just miserable, and to cap it off, a really shite ending. We were both a bit too horrified to move I think, and when we came out we both said "...and just when you thought it couldn't get any worse...IT DID!" Never let it be part of your "interesting French movies" list, PLEASE.

I saw thread title and thought 'Seven'. Horrible.

Some films I don't ever intend to watch - any Hannibal Lecter, and the Boy in the Striped PJs cos I thought the book was so poor - manipulative faux naive.

Precious- wasnt scary just sad and every time you thought it might be turning a happier corner it went bleak again. Left me feeling sad, wish I hadn't watched it.

Also mum and dad watched it years ago and it still makes me feel funny now.

The Deer Hunter
Born On The Fourth Of July
Sophie's Choice
Alien (never watched any of the rest of them)
Silence of the Lambs (have never got to the end!)

Precious, just awful rape and abuse cannot get it out of my head. I can just about deal with gore and horror but real life abuse is just wrong as entertainment.

The Shining was brilliant but left me utterly shattered & terrified. Don't regret watching it though.

2 films I definitely regret watching: Jeepers Creepers which was v nasty, and The Young Poisoners Handbook, based on a true story about a psychotic teenager who poisoned his family. The film turned it into a black comedy which was so inappropriate when set against the real events.

Silence of the Lambs on the other hand: one of my favourite films! Watch it at least once a year, but do have to cover my eyes in a couple of places...

Many over the past 30 odd years
But like others on here,with the passing of time&having dc's my tolerance level has diminished.
But recently I watched 'Sarahs Key' which really upset me,but holocaust based films usually do
