what films to this day make you shudder (spoilers)

[Samcro]

for me looper
I can not take the scene where the man starts to disappear (how do you spell that?) then later you see the man in another time.

[leosayershair]

Yes Pearlmum1 Eden Lake is very sinister and disturbing.

I remember going to see The Accused when it came out and knew I never, ever wanted to see it again.

[Pearlmum1]

Funny Games was quite horrific, two men take a family hostage and it's very disturbing! The descent was also horrific. Lastly Eden Lake, couldn't watch the rest!

[Dontlaugh]

I really appreciated A Clockwork Orange, strangely, despite its inherent horror.

[Dontlaugh]

I've never watched it but The Human Caterpillar sounds horrendous. The sequel managed to get itself banned in Ireland or poss uk? A truly vile film, and that's only from the reviews.
Pan's Labyrinth is disturbing but I liked it. Outright gratuitous horror I find off putting, like Saw, The Hills have eyes, etc, so I'm lulled into watching psychological horrors, which are worse! And stay with me way longer.
I haven't watched an 18 in a very many number of years.

Eminybob The film you can't remember the name for is creep its a horrible film well that scene anyways that always sticks in my mind too!

[NotNob]

The image flashes (there's probably a technical term for them) in the Exorcist.

[SqueegyBeckinheim]

The Piano Teacher, horribly depressing with graphic scenes of self harm.

[shadesofwinter]

American History X for me, same scene as Bacon. It makes me feel sick just typing this.

[samlewis2007]

One film that really went through me was wrong turn 6. It was disgusting and weird sexual scenes which really made my skin crawl. I've only ever watched wrong turn 1 which wasn't as bad. But overall that's one film that's stuck in my head as being so wrong the producer must be a very twisted strange man/woman!!!!!!

[n0ne]

I wish I could unsee Oldboy (incest horror, anyone?) and Requiem for a Dream. I have a very strong stomach when it comes to gore or violence but these two films were so psychologically f-ed up they traumatised me for life!

[Eminybob]

ones I can think of that have really stuck with me:

The prestige. Although not scary or anything the whole concept of it really disturbs me. Especially the bit where he kept drowning himself night after night.

The impossible. I just found it so distressing I cried for days after (on and off obvs!)

The hills have eyes. Couldn't get past the rape scene, had to switch off.

And one that the name escapes me, but it's set in the London Underground and there's a bit where a woman is strapped into a gynaecologist type chair with legs in stirrups. I won't go on as its freaking me out thinking about it.

[MrsJamin]

Jude the obscure, when they enter the bedroom to find their boys :( so so shocking

[AnnieOnnieMouse]

Clockwork Orange. I saw it as a teenager, when it first came out, and the thought of it still upsets me. At the time, I had no idea such awful things existed. (too sheltered) I was horrified when it started to be shown again. I don't watch anything 18 now at all.

[Baconyum]

American history x the pavement/jaw scene.

Eye for an eye the assault.

Very disturbing but I still think American history x is an important film.

[bialystockandbloom]

The Servant (dirk Bogarde, james fox) - so disturbing.

And possibly Play Misty for Me - brilliant but again so disturbing, don't think I could sit through it again knowing how it lulls you in.

Yikes, shouldn't have opened this thread just before bed!

[MamOfTwo]

*out of your head

[MamOfTwo]

Picnic at Hanging Rock. Just eerie and creepy and won't get of your head.

[emotionsecho]

I'm not a watcher of horror or anything excessively violent, certainly have no desire to watch Saw or anything of that ilk, but the films that I've no desire to watch ever again and really wish I hadn't seen are Reservoir Dogs, Scarface and Salem's Lot.

Strangely, even though I found the original Wicker Man chilling I would watch it again.

[madamginger]

Horror films in general, they freak me out and I just can't cope with being scared. I've seen a few over the years and my DH has had to talk me into watching them.
I make him go with his best mate to watch them now.
I much prefer a proper girly movie or a comedy that makes me laugh out loud

[KingJoffreyLikesJaffaCakes]

Mrs Doubtfire. Only film to truly freak me out. Shows how sneaky and underhand people can be, even towards people they claim to love. Excellent portrayal of manipulative behaviour.

Fucker reminded me of my ex.

[CharleyDavidson]

Pan's Labyrinth. The bit with the face stabbing. I hate the whole film because of that scene. I just can't watch it.

It's DH's favourite film.

I dislike horror as a genre too, so have missed a lot of films that would have upset me just on general principle.

[Lightbulbon]

Yes things that are true stories I find quite upsetting.

I can't remember which saw I saw but it was grotesque. I don't know how that can be classed as entertainment.

[PittedOlive]

Pretty Woman makes me shudder, but that's probably not what you meant.

[TrionicLettuce]

10 Rillington Place with Richard Attenborough and an episode of the early 70s BBC horror series, Dead of Night, called A Woman Sobbing.

The first remains the only film that has ever given me nightmares (and I've seen endless supposedly terrifying horror films) and the latter messed me up mentally for days.
