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?

Hostel and the exorcist

A Clockwork Orange. I saw it as a naive, totally sheltered 17YO. I'd never seen a horror before, and here I was watching one that had actually been banned. I ended up looking down at my lap for the entire thing - I just couldn't look at what was happening.

This is someone who had nightmares watching Sixth Sense as an adult. 😂

Wolf Creek. It was just so nasty. Saw it well over 10 years ago, but it was that point that I realised horror films were no longer for me. Whether they've got worse since my 90s teenhood of renting horror films, or whether I'm just more soft, I don't know.

Zero dark thirty. Disturbing.

Eden Lake was grim.

Oldboy was pretty sick - I watched the remake with Josh Brolin, apparently the Korean original is even worse.

Never let me go, so bleak and depressing, and the whole idea of "the donors" is horrible. It was a good film but I dont want to watch it again.

This sounds silly but a particular version of Black Beauty, narrated by the horse. Its not over graphic but the cruelty of humans towards animals and their powerlessness came across in a powerful, non sentimental way and it really upset me.

The Hostel, I dont mind a bit of gore and violence in a horror film, but this was a film made, I think, purely for the gory bits. Even Wolf Creek has a storyline ( a nasty one), but with The Hostel, the violence was the storyline.

I can't remember the title but it was a film about a teenage boy from a "good" family who ends up taking drugs with two other teens and then they break into a house and brutally and fatally rape a women in front of her husband.

I still don't know why I watch till the end. I think I was hoping some good would happen. But no! Just fucking hideous! I I cried for a week I think. Every time I shut my eyes I could see a particularly distressing scene.

It had good reviews from the critics but I am honestly surprised it was even allowed. It was so disturbing.

Horror - the strangers.
That film genuinely had me hiding behind a blanket and on edge for weeks.
I can not cope with people wearing masks at all!

Locke - that load of crap cost me £30 and 2 hours of my life!

Broken flowers - no ending. No closure!

I will always regret the 90 mins wasted watching the saccharine shite that is Heaven is for Real. Although happily it does mean I can tell DH to stay away from the man on the rainbow horse every time he goes to the hospital, so there is that.

The Revenant, Hannah, Southpaw, The Road...There's so many. Just plain boring and dragging on forever. Also just seen Lights Out and it wasn't anything new or particularly scary either and Sausage Party is just swearing and sex jokes. After reading this thread though I'm going to check out Eden Lake.
