I have a looooong list:

The Green Mile
Schindler's list
Atonement
The Colour Purple
History of Violence
American History X
Seven

All horror films - accidentally watched a Centipede one and was horribly disturbed

Ah I love Pan's Labyrinth!

Another vote for Sinister with Ethan Hawke. I watched it thinking nothing he could be in could be that bad. It was truly terrifying. The opening video just horrendous. Stayed with me for a long time.

The older I get the less I seem to be able to tolerate dark, violent films.

Horror is ok except the human centipede series, only seen the first that's enough for me! And Wolf Creek 😱😱😱😱

I can't do fills like
Boy with striped pyjamas
Blood diamond

Anything really where people are just hideous to other people, concentration camps etc

I found the human centipede just ridiculous. I won’t entertain the others however. It was wrong and creepy but I wouldn’t say it affected me too much.

Wolf creek woke me up one night - we’d fallen asleep with the tv on and I woke up to a woman screaming at 2am. I thought it was hideous and I only saw that bit.

Saw became a parody of itself after a while - first one is a great horror movie but the rest just became gross out like Final Destination.

Henry portrait of a serial killer

Most disturbing film I have ever seen was Mysterious Skin I will never watch that again!

ginyogarepeat · 04/03/2018 16:02

Late to the party but mine is "tyrannosaur". Not a horror, just so relentlessly bleak. Have never left a cinema so utterly depressed. Right from opening scene, just harrowing and bleak.

eloisesparkle · 04/03/2018 18:30

Mamma Mia - horror to me

gingergenius · 05/03/2018 23:55

Demon seed or devil spawn???. About a robot that took over the house and raped the woman

busybuildingdens · 05/03/2018 23:58

Was coming on to say The Human Centipede or whatever it was, and see it’s at the bottom of your list. It’s the only film that has ever truly truly disturbed me.

chezbot · 23/03/2018 14:00

Not RTFT yet but just popping in to say When the wind blows and Grave of the fireflies. Devastating films.

stitchbitch · 03/04/2018 00:07

The deliverance, the male rape scene is awful.
I watched the first of The Purge movies, but only the first half an hour of Election night, I find it too real and it played on my mind terribly, but I love horror movies!

Mother!.....2 hours gone from my life ....it was shot!

ZenNudist · 03/04/2018 00:18

All horror / scary films but especially The Ring and The Grudge. Shit me up bad!

Whats that Scorsese/ Leo de Caprio film that ends with him drowning kids. Thats bad. Wont watch that again.

The first Halloween film because I couldn’t sleep with the light off for ages after.

The Passion Of Christ it was so violent it was awful. Same with Apocalypso.

I read the synopsis of The Serbian Film won’t be watching that who the hell thinks of these things.

Loads more that I can’t remember at the moment

Cantthinkofabloodyname · 03/04/2018 01:40

Brawl in cell block 99 was a film that I had to turn off. There was a bit of dialogue between Vince Vaughn and another guy, where VV was threatened with someone doing something to his wife's unborn baby. I turned it off right there & will never watch it again.

BlueUggs · 03/04/2018 01:59

I avoid horror/violence in films generally.....
Event horizon - slept with the light on for weeks afterwards
Kill bill - just shit and gratuitous violence
It - watched this as a teenager. Didn't like clowns anyway.....!

ThisIsTheFirstStep · 03/04/2018 02:00

A Korean movie called Asura.Most Korean movies are pretty violent but that one really took the cake. The last hour was just people being shot and maimed, even my husband couldn’t watch.

BlueUggs · 03/04/2018 02:03

Panic room with Jodie foster and casino with joe Pesci and Sharon stone.

cueominousmusic · 03/04/2018 07:57

CauliflowerBalti: AI. I found the Pinocchio theme utterly harrowing and could NOT stop crying"

I will never, ever, ever be able to watch this film. I read the short story, "Supertoys that last all summer long," upon which this is based and I was sobbing by the end of it and for weeks afterwards every time I thought of it. I can feel tears starting to well up, even now, as I think of it. I found it genuinely tragic and couldn't get it out of my mind. (I think it is slightly different to the film.)

Jaxtellerswife · 07/04/2018 17:26

I'm also googling lol.

The girl next door.
There's two with the same name, those that have seen the disturbing one will know the one I mean. True story and I would never watch it again

Frogletmamma · 07/04/2018 17:27

I found Miss Peregrine too scary but then I'm a wuss

LordEmsworth · 07/04/2018 21:12

Am just home from seeing Ghost Stories. I enjoyed it but I may never sleep again...

Hands down Boy in the striped pyjamas I had no fucking idea what that film was about before I started watching it. So had no warning for how utterly harrowing it was.
I have never cried so hysterically at a film before or after watching this. My mum came home and found me in a complete state.

Never been able to watch it again.
