I have to say, I wish I'd never watched The Shining (at a sleepover when I was 14). It scared the pants off me!

Anyone else?

Interstellar... Wow. Really wanted to like it but that's time I'll never get back

HeCantBeSerious · 29/08/2016 10:48

Are you kidding? Interstellar is amazing (if for no other reason than the science is about 95% accurate!)

MitzyLeFrouf · 29/08/2016 10:54

Interstellar was tedious. self indulgent twaddle dressed up as 'ideas'.

It actually made me angry.

laylabelle · 29/08/2016 11:21

The Revenant aka Leo has a really bad day/week. Just went on and on

Superman/batman..that moment omg! All the build up..was awful. Again long

Snowtown and Open Water..horrible films then you remember these events actually happened and makes it even worse!
Especially Snowtown not so much inspired loosely by true events as so many films are..nope murders happened

High Rise - based on a JG Ballard book with Tom Hiddleston. It was so disappointing and you just did not care what happened to anyone. It was like a bizarre mix of Abigail's Party and A Clockwork Orange

Mamma Mia - dreadful, everyone forgets how to act.

JackieJormpJormp · 29/08/2016 12:33

All This Mayhem.

It's a documentary about two brothers from Australia, both incredibly talented skateboarders, who both got into drugs and ended up totally ruining what had been promising careers.

One of the saddest things I've ever seen. Couldn't stop thinking about it for days afterwards. Horrible

DailyMailEthicalFail · 29/08/2016 13:04

Jaws. At the cinema. We lived by the Sea. I was 7. Parental idiocy.

Don't Look Now. I was around 22. Knew it was a bad idea.
Have not knowingly watched a horror since.

Sophie's Choice. Yy.

An episode of a TV drama called: Afterlife when you KNOW a baby will die.
Awful.

The WarZone - a British Drama film about an abusive family. Grim.

OrlandaFuriosa · 29/08/2016 13:16

Pink flamingos. Sick, , exploitative. Yes, I know cult, Divine etc. but vile.

en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pink_Flamingos

Thomas the tank engine narrated by Ringo Starr. Worst film in the galaxy.

OrlandaFuriosa · 29/08/2016 13:16

Ooh don't look now. I didn't like horror before, I can't watch one since, either.

MindSweeper · 29/08/2016 13:23

The Mist - the ending :(

QuestionableMouse · 29/08/2016 13:50

ArtichokeHeartsAppleCarts, I also found Into the Wild deeply unsettling. Made worse by the fact I was watching with a friend who'd bought it for me and so had to pretend to enjoy it.

The Mist was unrelentingly bleak.

Doje · 29/08/2016 13:53

The one with Jennifer Aniston and the dog. Drivel. Miserable drivel.

DisgraceToTheYChromosome · 29/08/2016 14:04

Touching the Void. Utter despair, even with the happy ending.
Saturday's Casualty. Nothing like the sound of a car impact for flashbacksSad

Clawdy · 29/08/2016 15:14

Pan's Labyrinth. Brilliantly made, but the violence was stomach-churning.

Rockmegently · 29/08/2016 15:16

Once were Warriors, heartbreaking, couldn't get that scene out of my head

Fanofjapan · 29/08/2016 15:18

New Dads Army film. They tried hard but it was dreadful.

JellyBelli · 29/08/2016 15:22

The Conjuring. Its got a shit scary dancing kid in it.

Middleoftheroad · 29/08/2016 16:17

Jelly are you sure you don't mean Insidious "tiptoe through the tulips..."

Enjoyed The Conjuring and Insidious but nothing has really scared me since Wolf Creek, though The aHuman Centpide sounds yuk

UsernamesAreAPainInTheBalls · 29/08/2016 16:19

I'm so glad other people were so freaked out by Eden lake 😳 Myself and OH only watched it last week and we were only saying it's really creepy because it's not stupid scary "American girl with large breast running away from knife wielding weirdo who walks slowly but still manages to catch her" it's normal people in a normal situation so could be any of us really

For anyone who hasn't seen it don't read any more

Spoiler alert *

That part at the end where she realises which house she's in literally makes my stomach turn 😩😩 can you actually imagine what you'd do in that situation

NoCapes · 29/08/2016 16:35

I must be a bit sick because I really enjoyed Eden Lake Blush
It's scary and a bit depressing but the realisticness of it made it worth watching IMO

DP hasn't seen it, I might make him watch it tonight

MrsRaymondReddington · 29/08/2016 16:36

Eden Lake and Requiem For a Dream are 2 films that make me feel so uncomfortable but if they're on, I can't stop watching.

I would love to get the hours back that I wasted on Mamma Mia and Michael Clayton.

amusedbush · 29/08/2016 17:02

Se7en. There are parts of that ("lust", especially) that make me feel sick just thinking of them now.

rubbishbin · 29/08/2016 17:04

I will proudly defend Interstellar! And I don't even like sci-if!

The boy in the striped pyjamas! I stupidly thought it might have a happy ending Sad

Usernames - ''That part at the end where she realises which house she's in literally makes my stomach turn''.

I feel like that about the scene in Silence of the Lambs when Catherine sees the torn off fingernails in the wall and starts screaming and screaming. In the book it says something like ''...that's when she realised who had got her''. (that point not quite as clear in the film) It always makes me feel sick.
