What films do you wish you HADN'T seen?

[rubbishbin]

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?

[Wincarnis]

Mulholland DrIve
El Topo
Saw
Bridget Jones Diary

[SharonBottsPoundOfGrapes]

A film called 187. It's a true story starring Samuel L Jackson. He plays a school teacher attacked by a pupil. He is nearly stabbed to death. He relocates and works in a gang ridden school in LA where it's worse than ever. It's sad and has an unhappy ending. I won't spoil it just in case anyone wants to watch it. It's on YouTube. Brilliant but unsettling film.

'Seeking a friend for the end of the world' filled me with deep sadness and unease.

[frikadela01]

Ring
The grudge
Invidious
The conjuring
IT
Candyman
Nightmare on elm St
Paranormal Activity

Basically any ghosty supernaturally type horror film. They get in my head and I have horrific nightmares. DP was on nights last week and I saw the trailer for a film I think is called lights out on TV and it scared the shit out of me. It's only the past couple of years I've accepted I just don't like these types of films so dont watch them.

[mogloveseggs]

The fly
Batman returns
The thing
Basically anything even slightly dark/horror related.

2001: a space odyssey.

I don't have the words.

[MoonriseKingdom]

Saw - visited a friend who suggested cinema, I had no idea what film was about, I was desperate to leave but too embarrassed so I had to shut my eyes for most of the film.

Les Miserables - saw at the cinema with DH, surrounded by people who seemed to know all the lyrics. I was so bored and it went on forever. At least at the theatre it would have had an interval/ chance to purchase wine.

Pulp Fiction. What a load of crap.

[lastnightiwenttomanderley]

Event Horizon

[BobbyGentry]

Man Bites Dog, C'est arrivé près de chez vous, 1992... shudders

[iisme]

I second Se7en. Had nightmares for weeks and I still feel a bit shaky thinking about it - about 20 years later. Have been much more careful about what I watch since then - I really can't take it. Scary is ok, but torture - no thanks.

[fruityb]

Several for different reasons:

Cannibal Holocaust rented by friends at uni when we went round for a movie night as it had just been unbanned. One thought it would be a cheesy bad horror movie - how wrong they were. It was a horrible disturbing and unpleasant movie and none of us knew how to respond to it at all.

Inception over hyped and dull. And I love the actors so was gutted but I just wasn't interested in it

Wolf Creek admittedly didn't watch it all. I can't watch suffering or gratuitous abuse so this went against everything.

Hostel 2 the gratuitous suffering again. I don't get the point or who derives any enjoyment or pleasure or how any film like this could formulate meaningful discussion.

[Thisismyalias]

Marley and me

[Mommawoo]

Came on to say the Snowtown Murders also what the fuck was that? First time a movie left me feeling completely depressed.

YY to Eden lake also, the director did a fantastic job of portraying every middle class couples worst nightmare!

Yabu about interstella though, he wasnt behind the bookcase. (Spoiler alert) Future humans found a way to travel back in time and could only communicate through gravity, so the corridors behind the bookcase were a visual representation of time so he could find the right past to speak with his daughter. Or something like that, I've watched it 3 times and dont fully understand it still. Also is has Matthew McConnaughey in it , so is amazing by default.

Sorry for your loss though

Requiem for a Dream

Paranormal Activity scared the shit out of me at the time.

[miwelaisjacydo]

The Revenant honestly the most boring film I have ever seen ever.

[WaitrosePigeon]

The Seasoning House

It was so distressing. Absolutely nothing shocks me but that really did.

[vixsatis]

The Last King of Scotland- gratuitously graphic violence
Les Miserables- the most boring three hours of my life

[Cliffdiver]

Nightmare on Elm Street.

I think I was 13/14. Was terrified to sleep for ages.

Also Candyman. Similar age.

Put me off horror films for years.

[CoraPirbright]

Jaws. I was far too young to see it and now cannot even go into a swimming pool without that bloody music starting in my head. And I love swimming too

[Eminybob]

The Impossible. Brilliant film but I found it exhaustingly harrowing. It affected me for a long time afterwards.

[exLtEveDallas]

The Mist.

Stephen Kings BOOK ends with a message of hope.

The film takes that hope away.

Bloody horrible

[somekindofmother]

the ring (original) I watched all 3 back to back when I was 16 and I still fear sadako coming out the TV... I didn't sleep well for months. I watched the American remake years later and it actually eased my fear slightly as sumara was not nearly as terrifying!

I have only seen clips of human centipede, and that was enough to traumatise me for life.

cement garden... weird, incestuous, pointless and ultimately quite boring. waste of my time!

[Iwasjustabouttosaythat]

Oh yeah, Requim for a Dream. What a load of rubbish!

[PseudoBadger]

London Has Fallen
