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

The Descent - was traumatised for days after that one.

Never Let Me Go - sobbed my heart out after that one, so sad.

Requiem for a Dream - disturbing, just disturbing

Event Horizon - nasty and sick horror, things I wish I had never seen.

The Paperboy - a throat cutting scene that will haunt me for ever

Gone Girl - more throat cutting, cannot stand seeing it, makes me physically ill, and there was no warning it was coming, fucking nasty.

Anything with Adam Sandler in it, he's an irritating bell end.

Seven - for a lot of the scenes. I think I even saw this one in the cinema!

The Cook, The Thief, His Wife and her Lover. Mainly for the stuffing money in the mouth scene, but it was just a horrible film really.

All horror. I watched Nightmare on Elm Street, and various other late 80's horrors, and they were really just jumps scares. I wouldn't watch them again. But I have heard about the horrors out in recent years and the very thought of someone having those ideas is just scary let alone the films they make from them.

Irreversible.

How could I have forgotten that one? The most uncomfortable I have ever felt while watching a film, including A Serbian Film (which I understood to be a political allegory so whilst vile it didn't disturb me as much as most people on here). The (at least) ten minute long rape scene was the worst thing I've ever seen.

Mother!
Babadook

gingergenius · 03/01/2018 10:35

Oh my god I just googled a Serbian Film. I feel sick. And I love horror films.

What the fuck? 🤢🤮

cheshiremama89 · 03/01/2018 10:35

I spit on your grave

Blush watched this when I was first seeing someone many moons ago - probably the WORST thing to watch when on a date

MargoChanning · 03/01/2018 10:40

I enjoy horror films but I've never been able to watch Eden Lake again as it's incredibly disturbing, mainly because it feels so real.

Agree with a PP about Splice. Excellent horror film but there's a particular scene that is so horrific, I couldn't possibly watch it again.

splatattack · 03/01/2018 10:43

I just IMDB'd A Serbian Film...I will not be watching that...

Not a film but Black Mirror really upset me, I only watched 2 episodes and couldn't watch anymore...my mind was racing after each episode and it took me ages to chill out again...weird!!

fairgame84 · 03/01/2018 10:48

I love a good bit of gore but the Last King of Scotland went to far. Horrible film.

I also agree with Pinocchio, it's freaky.

With regard to A Serbian Film in the UK:

The film was due to screen on 29 August 2010 at the Film Four FrightFest in London, UK but was pulled by the organizers following the intervention of Westminster Council. Films shown at this festival are usually shown pre-certificate but in this case Westminster Council refused to grant permission for its exhibition until it had been classified by the BBFC. Following its DVD submission to the BBFC (there were no theatrical materials available in the time frame requested for a proper theatrical classification), 49 cuts totaling four minutes and eleven seconds were requested for DVD certification. The UK distributor, Revolver Entertainment, initially looked into the possibilities of the process, but it became clear that the film would then have to be resubmitted to the BBFC and further cuts may then have been required. It was decided that to show a heavily edited version was not in the spirit of the festival and consequently its exhibition was pulled from the schedule. The film was replaced at the festival by Rodrigo Cortés' Buried starring Ryan Reynolds.^

And

^ The film had a limited release in UK theaters on 10 December 2010 in the edited form (99 minutes), with four minutes and eleven seconds of its original content removed by the British Board of Film Classification due to "elements of sexual violence that tend to eroticize or endorse sexual violence."[20] A Serbian Film thus became the most censored cinema release in Britain since the 1994 Indian film Nammavar that had five minutes and eight seconds of its violent content removed.

The film had a limited release in the United States on 6 May 2011, edited to 98 minutes with an NC-17 rating. It was released on VOD at the website FlixFling on the same day, except only slightly edited to 103 minutes.^

It's banned in several countries. I'd like to see it removed from circulation entirely, but whilst I'm dreaming, I'd like a manticore.

Wolf Creek. I have watched some disturbing shit but this film is right up there. It's just so chilling. Really disturbed me.

Aridane · 03/01/2018 10:57

Yes - A Serbian Film is pretty grim. I only watched it because of its notoriety. Looked like it was going all out to shock.

Aridane · 03/01/2018 10:58

(it's banned in Spain, Germany, Australia, New Zealand, Malaysia, Singapore, Norway, and South Korea)

ohfortuna · 03/01/2018 11:01

I couldn't finish the babadook I live on my own and I just felt too spooked
Generally speaking I can't watch horror films with a supernatural theme it just scares me too much afterwards 😕

DollyTots · 03/01/2018 11:03

I love horror films! But Eden lake is one that really got to me and regret watching now 🙈

TheVanguardSix · 03/01/2018 11:04

Land of Mine

My dad was one of those boys (in a different camp and location). Tough viewing but feckin child's play after reading about A Seriously Fucked Up Serbian Film. If my husband wrote/directed that film, I'd leave him. What kind of person thinks, "I've got a brilliant idea for a film!" and comes up with that?

vvviola · 03/01/2018 11:05

Sogood I'm intrigued by what made you choose the Wind that Shakes the Barley (although DH will never watch it again as he can't understand a word of it and needs to put the subtitles on!)

Ratinthehat · 03/01/2018 11:09

Stupidly I find I get disturbed films like the Truman show and the matrix but I do suffer from dissasociation so often feel the world isn't real so that could be why!

Lucked · 03/01/2018 11:10

They Shoot Horses Don’t They about the lengths people were driven to for survival during the Great Depression staring Jane Fonda, who knew a danceathon could be so macabre.

My mum warned me not to watch and scarpered when it started, once was enough for her too.

ermagerdsnur · 03/01/2018 11:21

Anyone else now using this thread to compile a list of movies to watch?!

I love a film that leaves me feeling drained afterwards - otherwise what's the point?

Same with a comedy, it needs to leave me chuckling to myself for days after Grin

Ohyesiam · 03/01/2018 11:51

I just don't watch 18s. This may make me a wimp, but I don't like feeling scared.

The film I found disturbing was Ex Machina. It's intelligent, but really freaked me.

Count2three · 03/01/2018 12:07

Scum. I’ve watched it a couple of times. There are a couple of v disturbing scenes.
Also a Romanian film called 4 months 3 weeks and 2 day. V bleak.

HuskyMcClusky · 03/01/2018 12:12

Wind that Shakes the Barley (although DH will never watch it again as he can't understand a word of it and needs to put the subtitles on!)

OMG, I saw that in the cinema and I had NO IDEA what was going on!

Snowtown is actually on a par with Wolf Creek for most horrifying film I’ve seen.

Moonflower12 · 03/01/2018 12:12

The first film I saw at the cinema aged 5 or 6 was Bambi. I remember sitting there during the scene where his mother is shot, thinking 'I am NEVER coming to the cinema again, if this is what it is!' I've never watched Bambi, since. I started to watch it last year at a friends but could feel the horror rising as the animals ran from the fire so stopped!

I don't do well with horror- not the gore type, the supernatural type. Or stuff that could be true....
