Films you will NEVER watch again as too disturbing

[LaurieFairyCake]

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

@LaurieFairyCake - I have a strong stomach, always have. I can handle a lot of stuff many can't, but ASF was brutal. I was just frozen to my seat at certain points and couldn't move or speak. I suffer with selective mutism at times, and that only kicks in when I'm extremely stressed, that's why I couldn't say anything to ask for it to be switched off.

I too was traumatised from reading the blurb. Thankfully enough time has passed that the details are no longer easily in my mind

Boys Don't Cry. Brilliant film, great acting but far too harrowing.

I had watched a documentary about Brandon Teena previously so knew that it was all very real which made it worse. I knew from before I watched it that I would only be able to bring myself to watch the movie once, and I was right.

OP, literally zero of the films in your list are in the horror genre. 🙄

Mama you have misread

A Serbian Film is easily the most horrific thing I've ever seen and the only movie I wish I'd never watched

Wolf creek
American psycho
Dumbo

Everest - I didn't know the story beforehand so didn't realise exactly what was going to happen - was ever so slightly traumatised afterwards!

I can't watch Pulp Fiction due to the gimp scene.

I’ve just googled ASF and read the synopsis. Who on earth thinks up these things? Utterly revolting.

Pet Semetary. There is one scene that haunts me until this day.

American History X, though I understand that the scene which still gives me nightmares has been cut.
Pan's Labyrinth, because of a similar brutal murder scene,
The Babadook: took 2 nights to get to the end. never again!
Agree to Last King of Scotland mentioned by a PP. Once really was enough.

All of them are great films but so powerful that once is enough.

There are loads I wouldn't see again because they are so bad: most Jim Carey, Tom Cruise, Billy Crystal, Vice Vaughn films included here, though each of them has done at least one thing I've loved so I keep trying (torture )

Really? There are still plenty of others. Was it the pavement one

Sleeping with the enemy - though I’ve never actually got to the end of it.
The Fly - teenage nightmares!

Run Lola Run was just awful. About a young Russian girl who gets trafficked into becoming a prostitute - I was sobbing after watching it.

The Road. What an utterly depressing film. Everything was just grey for days after watching it.

Oh, and Candy. One of Heath Ledger's last movies about a pair of heroin addicts. Not sure if it was because I watched it after he'd overdosed or because it was really just raw and sad.

Clockwork orange - very disturbing film.

I can’t watch films where baby’s are murdered. There was a witch movie can’t remember the name where a baby was sacrificed. There was another movie where there was a killer who locked their victims in a room and watched them starve and die one was a baby and watch them decomposed.

Harry brown a Michael Caine film sold as a thriller of him as an ex serviceman 'cleaning up the streets' utterly horrible scene with a drug addicted girl, can't say what happened but it stayed with me, incredibly disturbing. I bought it on dvd and had to put it in the bin rather than take it to the charity shop as I didn't want anyone else to see it. I seriously thought about breaking the disc too.

Also, the man who fell to earth with David Bowie don't know why but it just made me feel sick and I had to turn it off.

Mother! Is deeply disturbing.

I will stick to la la land and greatest showman. I like to leave the cinema uplifted not suffering from PTSD.

Syriana is the only film I have ever turned off because I couldn't stop crying. The little boy...

Although I did turn Troy off, but that was because it was TERRIBLE!!!

Oh on the waterboywith Adam Sandler, just because it was so unfunny. I don't remember it well but I think it was poking fun at people with learning difficulties. I haven't watched anything he's been in since.

Stealthpolarbear Yes, the kerb scene was removed for the DVD. Still clear as day in my head though, years later. So powerful.

Threads. And I didn't even watch the worst bits.

Sinister. It should be renamed "Pointlessley Nasty". I don't mind horror films when they're good, but this was just violence for the sake of it and as for the ending - stupid.
Schindlers List. I'm glad I did watch it, but once is enough.
The Eichmann Show - Same as Schindlers List.
