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

Can't remember the name, but one about a young couple camping by a lake, they then get terrorised by a group of teenagers. I found it totally sickening. Also one made of TV movie years ago. It was about a small town in the US after a nuclear bombs, supposedly bonding to survive etc, however they didn't 🤔 they all just died slow, painful deaths. Awful, awful film!

I just read the plot for A Serbian Film and wish I could unread it. I don't think a film like that should be made.

I could be making this up but didn't the writer get into trouble for it?

The human centipede

I have never been able to watch the Day of the Triffids again.

I've just googled A Serbian Film - even the plot summary is horrific.

Irreversible.

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

You’ve got mixed up somewhere, that’s not the story of Run Lola Run.

For me, Dancer in the Dark and also Requirm for a Dream.

The hills have eyes.

Law abiding citizen.

The Cook, The Thief, His Wife and Her Lover.

La Bella Vita 😢

I've just googled A Serbian Film, how is it legal to produce a film like that? Just the plot on Wikipedia made me feel ill and I've got quite a strong stomach.

Surely it's creators must be psychologically disturbed freaks - which I suppose isn't illegal. Just Yuk. 🤢

The Invisible Man film with Kevin Bacon. I watched it on tv after I found it channel-hopping, when I was living abroad, thinking it would be a good chance to practice my language skills. I was definitely not expecting anything so disturbing.

Animal Farm.

But you wouldn't want to be alone with them in a lift would you fabulous? Seriously disturbed

I rather think I read somewhere that A Serbian Film was made deliberately, because either the director or the writer kept getting scenes cut for the sake of rating it a lower age so they intentionally made a film where the violence was the plot and thus could not be cut or rated...

It's still unbelievably sick though, but I think it was a "fuck you" project that wasn't meant to become the cult-horror flick it has actually become.

Silence of the lambs. Horrendous. I wanted to walk out of the packed cinema.

The Boy in the Striped Pyjamas

But to actually be able to imagine that stuff

I really can't be too sure of that though, so don't quote me or take it as gospel or anything!

The Wind That Shakes The Barley.

The kerb scene from American History X still haunts me years later.

@n2986 I think your thinking of Eden lake?

The human centipede...I'm usually pretty hard to shock but just found the whole thing horrific.

Another vote for Wolf Creek. I used to love horror films before that.

Trainspotting, since I've had a baby. The scene with the baby would be too disturbing I think.

And Blue Valentine. Just the saddest, saddest thing I've ever seen. After I'd seen it at the cinema, someone bought it for me on DVD; I hid it as I couldnt even bring myself to look at the cover !

Wolf Creek.

Made me sick to my stomach.

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

That’s Lilya 4-ever. But I agree, harrowing movie.

Brimstone. A great movie but seriously traumatic stuff.

Why do you all watch these horrible films? There is some weird sick need in humans to seek this stuff out - never understood it.
