I am not a big fan of horror films but I can tolerate them with a pillow and someone to hide behind.
I have a few movies I seriously cannot bring myself to even view the trailer of for fear of being scarred for life.
They are in no particular order.
Human Centipede
The shining
And scarface.

What about you guys?

I only watched Robocop properly a couple of years ago, scared me as a kid. Still hate the sound Ed 209 makes but the film itself is actually quite satirical and clever.

Freddie got fingered is one of the worst piles of shit I ever saw. My friends loved it, I thought it was horrendous. Just really poor taste and badly done.

fruityb · 30/05/2016 23:13

Oh forgot cannibal holocaust. Watched it at uni, went to friends who has rented a movie and they got that. Horrific.

Gileswithachainsaw · 30/05/2016 23:16

Yes human centipede two is a pile of crap too.

didn't scare me but I'd advise you lot to give it a miss Grin

I've been watching horrors since I was a kid..yet to find one that scares me

LadyHarvey · 30/05/2016 23:27

Wouldn't want to watch Taken again. Once was enough.

SuburbanRhonda · 30/05/2016 23:32

Nil by Mouth.

Can't bear violence that is realistic.

Dizzybintess · 31/05/2016 00:00

I can't believe they gave made more than one of those taken movies

Temple Grandin. It was recommended to me by a few people because a family member has Aspergers. I have tried several times to watch it but just can't, it's like watching my own life and it's awful! Not in any way entertaining, just upsetting. I have to turn it off.

I am the same with those Hoarding programmes, I can't watch them at all because my parents are hoarders!

BareBearBum · 31/05/2016 09:07

I don't think I could watch Schindler's list again, even though it was very good.

I couldn't make it through Platoon after a certain scene.

Won't even start to watch Saw, Hostel, Human Centipede. I have a feeling that there's no story just gore.

WhereTheFuckIsMyFuckingCoat · 31/05/2016 09:52

Horrors terrify me but I can watch them. Sad films rarely have very much effect on me, I mean they're sad, but I rarely, if ever, cry.

However, I one watched 'Devil's Advocate', I think it's called, with Al Pachino, unfortunately as I was just succumbing to a complete mental breakdown, and it almost sent me over the edge. It terrified me so much, left me feeling distraught, anxious, panicky and depressed, and I had terrible flashbacks of it and sleepless nights/nightmares.

I've never spoken to anyone else who's seen the movie, but I don't actually think it's supposed to be scary really, certainly not to the extent that it affected me, but I darent ever put myself through watching it again to find out. Thankfully that was about 8 years ago now.

SissySpacekAteMyHamster · 31/05/2016 09:55

Anything to do with the Holocaust or Vietnam.

PuppyMonkey · 31/05/2016 10:02

Can't bear the thought of Boy in the Striped Pyjamas.

All those Marvel superhero movies send me straight to sleep, so I'll never bother with any of them again now. Ditto X Men etc.

Have also thus far avoided the Mrs Brown movie and Pudsey Movie. Grin

Baconyum · 31/05/2016 10:05

Devils advocate is one of my favourite films.

Hardened horror buff so little scares me, modern horrors are mostly gore bores!

I watch things like boy in the striped pyjamas and it's sad and all that but not unwatchable.

But yes I've heard of Serbian film and that is beyond sick so wouldn't watch that.

Die hard should be compulsory viewing for Alan Rickman alone!!

WhereTheFuckIsMyFuckingCoat · 31/05/2016 10:09

Is it supposed to be scary baconymum?

PurpleRibbons · 31/05/2016 10:10

I can't watch anything filmed on a handheld camera as it gives me motion sickness. I had to leave the cinema during Cloverfield.

TheCladdagh · 31/05/2016 10:14

The Piano Teacher (I think La Pianiste in French) directed by Michael Haneke is the only film I have ever got up and walked out of in the cinema because I couldn't bear to see any more. It features the divine Isabelle Huppert as a piano teacher living with her controlling mother in her 40s and getting her sexual thrills by voyeurism and genital self-mutilation. After she develops a crush on a student who finds her desire to be hurt and humiliated repulsive, she invites him to beat her up and rape her in her apartment, and he does. Possibly in front of her mother, though I may have made that part up. Certainly within earshot. That was the point at which I left.

I developed a violent migraine after Moulin Rouge on a big screen. Though that may have been Ewan McGregor's singing. Grin

LuluJakey1 · 31/05/2016 10:20

Titanic - drives me mad waiting for the ship to sink
Benjamin Button - at least an hour too long

Not bothered by horror films but only like a decent one

BeautyGoesToBenidorm · 31/05/2016 10:20

I can't bear gratuitous violence, or any kind of rape scene - I have nightmares for months if I watch a rape scene.

Violence in context doesn't bother me, but when it becomes excessive, it makes me uncomfortable and I start to wonder about the director's mental state.

I've heard about A Serbian Film, and I know quite a few people who watch those things just to look cool. It's not something I'd watch - it's not entertainment, it's voyeurism. Also The Human Centipede is completely offputting, A) because anything involving shit weirds me out, and B) because it's such a crass fucking idea.

Werksallhourz · 31/05/2016 10:20

I can watch pretty much anything, but the one film I can't cope with is Eraserhead.

It really bothers me on some deep subconscious level.

pinocchiosnose · 31/05/2016 10:22

The deer hunter. I only ever saw it when I was in Italy and the whole thing was in Italian. I can't speak a word of Italian but I was still weeping by the end of it. I shall never watch it again

fortifiedwithtea · 31/05/2016 10:23

Slumdog Millionaire. I watched it once found it really disturbing and will never watch it again.

Never want to watch Boy In The Striped Pyjamas

Ineedmorelemonpledge · 31/05/2016 10:27

I didn't think I could watch that film "Serbian movie" or whatever it was called.

I watched on you tube and speeded up the gore bits. I actually found the idea more sick than the graphical images. All in all it was just ridiculous and made to shock rather than make the statement it claims (imho).

I won't watch the Human Centipede though, I just don't see the point of mindless gore with no decent story anymore.

Just5minswithDacre · 31/05/2016 10:27

Precious. I tried Sad

Just5Mins I made it to the end of precious. Wouldn't watch it again. Worse than a horror.
