Earlier, I was surfing around on Youtube watching disgusting clips.  Then I read this article about the Top 10 Sickest Movies (http://blogs.ign.com/Horror_Brain/2006/06/29/23243/).

There are some truly sick films out there!
I'd like to sit down and watch a few of them sometime just out of morbid curiosity.
(Sometimes I like to be grossed out)

The number one movie on that list was August Underground's Mordum (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/August_Underground's_Mordum).
There are a few clips on Youtube of it and all I can say is, "Damn!  That's f***ed up!"
They're much too graphic to be posted here.  I think Andrew would be a little perturbed if I posted a clip of two psychos forcing a guy to cut his own willy off with a pair of scissors.   :buggedout:

The company that made it, TOE TAG Pictures (http://toetagpictures.com/site/) has quite the reputation for making nauseating films.

How about you?
Know of any really sick and depraved exploitation films?

some ex-wrestler has a movie that apparently tops them all.  i can't remember what it's called.




my vote for #1 would be todd solondz'  "happiness"

The GG Allin film HATED (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0107086/) springs immediately to mind, though it's actually a documentary, so I'm not sure it would count.  While disturbing on quite a few levels, I found it kind of hilarious in that, here was a guy who seemed determined to kill himself during a "performance" and didn't seem to worry about taking out a few folks around him in the process, yet there was never a shortage of people willing to go see this guy.

All things being equal, it's pretty tough to top the August Underground stuff.  I pretty much have a high threshold for most anything(TWO GIRLS ONE CUP aside!), but thanks to the immediacy created by the bare bones guerilla filmmaking, their stuff has a much more grotesque impact.  While the overused meme 'torture porn' is thrown around today like a cheap doll, the AU stuff clearly deserves the label.

I guess the only thing I've seen to really outdo MORDUM et al, is Chuck Berry's vid.  And unfortunately for mankind, that's all to real. *shudddeerrrrrr*

Pretty typical list. I've seen three of those films and "Ichi the Killer" is nowhere near as unsettling as "Salo."

Soylentgreen, thanks for bringing Hated to my attention!  I had no idea that there was a documentary out there about GG.  I'll have to check it out ASAP.

You want disturbing films, Ash?  When in my teens, I went through a phase where I would rent anything horror or horror-ish.  I found some truly disturbing films during those years, ones that have images burned permanently in my mind.  Here are three that I recommend if you're looking for something to fu*k you over:

Men Behind The Sun - http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0093170/ (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0093170/)

Salo - http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0073650/ (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0073650/)

In A Glass Cage - http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0090197/ (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0090197/)

Each of them are interesting in their own right but they are some of the most affecting films I've ever seen in my life.  I recommend them with caution.



NOTE:  Well crap, I just read the article you posted and noticed that Salo and Men Behind The Sun are both on there.  Oh well.

Feed is pretty sick

http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0445965/

Isnt Salo that movie where people are forced to eat poop? I've been avoiding that one.

The sickest,most depraved film I've eer seen was a quasi-porn flik called SQUIRM FEST,through SHOCKING VIDEOS.
In addition to eating live worms,maggots and cockroaches, vomiting it up and re-eating it,having to eat her own crap and others as well....ugh...I - I can't even finish describing it. Ugh. I could'nt sit through it. I bought it on a bet. I lost. Yuck.  :bluesad:

I saw too many of these films in my twenties, and have no desire to see any more (with the exception of ICHI, which sounds sort of intriguing).  SALO, in my opinion, is not worth viewing.  It's artistic reputation is completely manufactured.  But the poop is chocolate,  KYGOTC, in case that was the only thing holding you back. 

HATED is interesting, definitely in a different class than the others.  But having known a self-destructive individual with a GG Allin-eque exhibitionist personality, who blew his brains out with a shotgun in front of his girlfriend for his final act, I found it more depressingly familiar than anything.   

Rev Powell,

I highly recommend checking out Ichi The Killer.  It's a hell of a flick and certainly an experience.  It's not nearly as bad as most people make it out to be.  A good bit of violence, and the movie revolves around rape.  It's nothing worse than numerous other exploitation flicks.

Oh, booy... do we REALLY want to go down this path?

Alright, you asked for it...

Well, a lot of them have already been mentioned, but I've heard and seen the trailer for a film called Slaughtered Vomit Dolls.  It's basically a hodgepodge of violence, nudity and lots of people puking.  The website it's the first in the genre of "vomit gore"  You can read a review here http://www.joblo.com/arrow/dvd_reviews.php?id=1137 (http://www.joblo.com/arrow/dvd_reviews.php?id=1137)

Speaking of the article, here's something weird.. on the bottom they give honorable mentions to (among others) Hellraiser 2, Mermaid in a Manhole, Nekromantik 1&2, Kichiku, Cabin Fever, Audition, Land of the Dead,

What? 

Cabin Fever?  Land of the Dead?  Hellraiser 2?  Did I watch different movies than they did?  Yeah, each of them have gory, but I don't think any of them reach nearly the level of sickness that the previous films do.

Who wants to look at this sh!t?  These were enough for me:
CANNIBAL FERROX (Make Them Die Slowly)
I SPIT ON YOUR GRAVE
LAST HOUSE ON THE LEFT
ODISHON (Audition)

As BTM pointed out, the "honorable mentions" are not nearly so upsetting, like PINK FLAMINGOS.  Pier Paolo Pasolini was murdered not long after SALO, some think because of it. 
 

yeah, i pretty much couldn't eat for a month after watching Feed.

I haven't watched August Underground's Mordum, but i did start to watch August Underground's Penance(theres actually a trilogy). I got almost through the first ten minutes. Why on earth would someone sleep with their brother? Better yet, when the girl is accused with sleeping with her brother, she then starts to cut herself with a broken bottle while taunting her boyfriend about how much he wants to fu&* her. uh, gross..that was enough for me. Two of my favorite films are Nekromantic and Aftermath, but atleast they were done in more of a subdued fashion with some element of taste and decent actors, aside from Monica O, but August's Underground Penance was just trash and filth. Gee, when did i start sounding like my mother?... :buggedout:

Have to say the sickest video I ever actually watched was Shocking Asia. Rented it at a local video store when I was 18 or so. Some very disturbing footage, particularly the male-to-female sex change operation. Had to look away for most of that part.

I've got some renting to do :drink:

Personally, I think Flesh for Frankenstein (http://imdb.com/title/tt0071508/) would be an honorable mention for this list. I've seen a few "odd" movies over the years but this most recent viewing is pretty wrong. It's paced alright but every now and then you are treated to a"...what?" moment, the "good" doctor,  in ecstasy from pulling out organs, mounting and fornicating with the corpse he's re-animating being up there with the better (:question:) ones; The doc's wife is also a pretty disgusting woman, her "bed" nosies made me want to leave the room, bleh.

About half the movies listed on the

"Brains on Film"

website.

Maybe I'm harder to disturb than most people.  I've accepted for as long as I can remember that humans commit acts of incomprehensible evil and depravity as a matter of course.  Very few things in real life disturb me -- disgust me, sure, but not disturb -- so forget a movie upsetting me.

"Mordum" is boring as hell, if you ask me.  They tried too hard to be SICK and DISTURBING, and it ended up just being silly and a waste of time.  I mean, come on, maintaining an erection while your penis is about halfway cut off?  Please ...  "Men Behind the Sun" does a good job, but how much of that is the movie itself vs. the "it really happened" factor?

Hell, some of the things I used to write when I was a kid are more messed up than a lot of stuff in those movies.  I think I was still in grade school when I wrote a series of stories about a guy who'd capture children, tie them up, and torture them by burning them with lit matches and sticking them with toothpicks.  When he ran out of skin to burn or skewer, he'd take them out in the woods, douse them with gasoline, and set them on fire.

You are really starting to worry me....!  :buggedout:

The "Postal" movie looks rather disturbing (anyone who's played P2 will definitely know the meaning of disturbing), but I'm not sure if it's actually up to the level of some of these other ones.

("Postal" movie trailer is on youTube, if you wanna check it out.)

Heh, in real life I'm the most harmless person you'd ever meet.  I don't even squish spiders anymore, I just put them in a cup and toss them outside.  But I do have some pretty twisted stuff going on in my head, always have.  It sure didn't come from movies, because I've never been into movies like that.  The only reason I've seen any of the movies on that list is because those are the ones that always come up when somebody mentions "sick" movies.

If I got some funds to do a cheap horror movie, any way I wanted, chances are it would be pretty messed up, like many of those on the list.   I'd just try to have a point behind it all, which is something the people that made "Mordum" failed to do.

I think it would be cool if there was a part in a movie where there is a guy running down this really nasty back alley in the city away from these bad dudes who are trying to hurt him. As he's running, he passes a very tired dirty looking hooker. He picks her up and points her crotch in the direction of his persuers. He starts firing babies out of her like a machine gun. When he runs out of ammo, he reels the babies back in (as their ambiblical cords are still atatched) and starts firing again.

That would be sweet. Maybe Ill be able to film that some day....

David Cronenberg's Crash.

Not because of the sex scenes or anything like that, but the idea behind the whole thing: that once (sort of) normal people would put their and other peoples lives in mortal danger just to reach a temporary new high.

I just saw "The Girl Next Door", and it really ashould be in this thread. It's a movie based on a ral event in the 50s, when a disturbed woman locked her nephew in the basement ant tortured her for days untilk she died. It's no graphic at all, most of the violence is off-screen.

What really makes it extremely unerving is that most of the violence is carried out by children, and that there's absolutely no reason for it. Neither is the victim the usual slasher victim that somehow has it coming. It's a movie about an innocent girl going through an ordeal for no reason at all, and by the time I was finishing watching it I couldn't take it anymore.

Not your usual horror movie. In every board I've mentioned I've told people not to watch it, and not because I secrectly expected them to do it.

Ya.. The Girl Next Door should at least be on the Feel Bad Movies thread. That was pretty disturbing. I would have to say the Necromaniac films and Ichi the Killer. So, it looks like I have magaged to stay away from the truly "Sick & Depraved ". That may be a good thing.... 

Sure...sure...tell it to a jury...( :tongueout:)


You need professional help. ( :bouncegiggle:)

Well, I've never seen it myself, but I'll take Cracked (http://www.cracked.com/article_14898_jackie-chan-carrie-fisher-10-most-unlikely-celeb-porn-stars.html)'s word for it:



This is the Internet Movie Database dossier on that movie:
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0072974/

What Inyerear said reminds me of most of the nasty hate/rape quasi -porn of the 60's and 70's. Not erotic....just sick and depressing. A bizzare genre which appeared soon after HG Lewis and Russ Meyer's 'nudie cuties' went out of vouge. Ug!

Speaking of sick & depraved movies...

I just watched The Texas Chainsaw Massacre: The Beginning the other night and man, it was twisted!
R.Lee Ermey pulls off a great performance as the evil Sheriff Hoyt.

What did you guys think of that movie?

I didn't care much for the whole "we'll show you how they became the way we know them", but there were a few interesting things thrown in there (exploding cow... cool!).

The best is R. Lee Ermey's performance, I agree.

Just was AU's Mordum tonight and i can say that i'm not impressed at all.
The fx, however limited the budget was, were verry well done. Maybe it was  the shaky camera work that got to me, but i found the whole 'let's be as shocking as humanyly possible' to be silly. I'd say, if your'e a gore hound, chexk this out. As for the rest. AVIOD. :thumbdown:

Am I really the first person to bring up Nacho Cerda's 'Aftermath'?

It's a short film, about 30 minutes, of a mortician having his way with the dead body of a woman.  I'm not really sure what the point of it all is and it's certainly not meant to be arousing but the most alarming thing about it is that no matter how twisted the premise is.  No matter how absolutely nasty and revolting the scenes of corpse rape are, it's an extraordinarily well-made film.  The photography and lighting are in stark contrast of the film's content.  The special effects are even outstanding.  But nothing can prepare you for what you see in that movie.

Cannibal Corpses song, F'd With A Knife comes to mind.

RapscallionJones,

I didn't bring up Aftermath as I assumed it had already been mentioned.  That's what happens when a post is TLDR.

Anyway, Aftermath is a film that I feel bad for liking.  The content is so off putting, so disgusting...yet the film itself is beautifully done.  I have the film on DVD with another of Cerda's shorts, the name of which escapes me at the moment.  I highly recommend it.

Begotten is another one that I forgot to mention.  That film is all shades of f**ked up!  Once you see Jesus disembowel himself, you don't get shocked by many other things on celluloid.

AFTERMATH was listed as one of the original 10 sickest movies in the article.

I don't know if I should be proud, ashamed, or what, but when I watched AFTERMATH it had absolutely no effect on me.  I vaguely remember the autopsy footage but I was unimpressed, even bored, by the movie.  I'm apparently the only person in the entire world who has had that reaction.

I also didn't find BEGOTTEN to be disturbing, though more memorable than AFTERMATH.  It had a very interesting, even intense, look. The imagery in BEGOTTEN is so murky that I think it could be truly disturbing, if you let your mind supply the missing details.  It's truly a visual Rorschach test.  But I think it was basically just an experiment in form that needed to be a 5-10 minute short instead of a full length movie. 

Damn.  Here I am thinking I'm on the cutting edge.

 :hot: I know where I'm getting my rental suggestions for the next week :hot:

I mentioned Aftermath in this string of forums. its one of my favs, although it did end a relationship quite suddenly after i made a guy sit through it with me... i think that may have made me like it even more...

So here's my Aftermath story.

Back when I was in college, I had to do this business plan project with a couple of guys and we were all going apes**t because we didn't want to have to stand in front of the class and do this presentation about our business.  I pitched the group this idea for a bootleg video dealer like the ones you used to see around the internet all the time like Blackest Heart or Video Wasteland and my solution to beating the stage fright was to make a video compilation of a bunch of violent scenes from horror movies and martial arts flicks.  I figured, the class would be so fixated on the clips, they wouldn't even pay attention to us... and I was right.  The Q&A session at the end went something like this:

Q: What was that movie where the girl throws up her guts?
A: City of the Living Dead

Q: Have you ever seen Dawn of the Dead?  That movie is awesome.
A: Yes.

Q: What was the one with the girl flying around all the Japanese guys freaking out?
A: The Bride With White Hair and they're Chinese.

Q: How do you plan on selling copies of licensed videotapes?  Isn't that illegal?
A: The Byrne Act states that a bootleg sourced from a movie with no domestic license is fair game.

So, naturally, people start asking questions about my collection.  The most frequent was "What is the nastiest movie you own?"  I would always preface my reply by insisting that I wound up with the movie by accident and in spite of its alarming content, it's actually a very well made movie.  I had become friendly with a girl who sat behind me and she insisted that she see it.  I refused for a long time before I relented.  She got the warning and took the tape home.  The next day, she handed me the tape in silence and never so much as made eye contact with me again.  Since then, I have shown it to no one and for some reason, I felt compelled to shell out for the Unearthed release on DVD with Genesis and that other short.

if you thought the movie was bad, avoid the book;  i'm a huge fan of jack ketchum, but that was one i couldnt' finish..

No, thanks, I'll pass. I had a bad enough time with the movie.

I really didn't think Salo was that bad. I mean, if you've ever read any Marquis de Sade you know how silly it all is. The 120 days of Sodom quickly goes from disgusting story to just a list of disgusting acts. And when I say disgusting, I don't mean it that way. It's so over-the-top that it's basically pure comedy.

The movie is boring, on top of being ridiculous. I guess it's worth seeing if you like trashy flicks,but you probably won't lose any sleep over it.

I mostly agree with you on SALO, tpjazz.

"The 120 Days of Sodom" is, basically, just a list of sadomasochistic fantasies, increasing in intensity and cruelty.  I don;t think Sade ever intended it as any sort of art, unlike his erotic novels.  All indications are Sade wrote it to help him get his rocks off while his was locked up in the Bastille and there were no hookers available to flog.  That Passolini could take this pure pornography, make the torturers into Fascists and sell this to the arthouse crowd as a poetic indictment of Fascism is one of the great con jobs in movie history.   

The only part I don't agree with you on is that either SALO or "120 Days' ever becomes comedy.  To me torturing people to death for sexual pleasure is never funny, not matter how absurd and over-the-top it becomes.

Anyway it's always nice to find someone who's read the Divine Marquis.

I just finished watching AU's Mordum for the second time, and I enjoyed it a bit more than when I first saw it. I watched it alone on my big screen with the surround sound cranked, that seems like the best way to enjoy a movie. I think the film is extremity for extremities sake, but there's nothing wrong with that. Sure, all the near constant swearing and screaming gets a little tedious at times, and there are a few spots where the film lapses into...well, not much, but all the button pushing gore and depravity makes it somewhat worthwhile. Plus, I think Crusty is really, really cute. She could puke on me anytime.  :drink:

I haven't seen this movie,but have only read what it's about and that movie is?? PIG f**kING MOVIE!!! Interested in buying it? Then,go to:www.revengehorror dot com..It's about a man and his pig.Title says it all...There are lots of other movies on the website in the Jewel Box Collection section that are pretty out there..Check it out!!!  Gary :hot:

Sounds alot like Zoo, which is a documentary which was on IFC awhile back. Its the true story of a man who died from a ruptured colon after having sex with his horse and it then goes on to a random series of interviews about the cons and pros (what the hell could the pros be???) of beastiality. I caught about ten minutes of it, and that was enough...

Ya know, in Bible times they stoned anyone to death who had sex with animals.

and they still should...

Excellent point.  :bouncegiggle:

No, "I have a headache" excuses?

(Sorry, couldn't resist.) 

But yeah, that's pretty messed up.  For the people they do interviews on the "pro" side they should pull the "Man wants to be a mouse" trick they did on the Monty Python sketch.  For those who haven't seen it, basically they have this satirical interview about what makes a man want to be a mouse where this guy talks about the first time he began realize he might be a mouse.  He says he was at a party and they had had a lot to drink and then someone brought out some cheese and he's like, "Out of curiosity, I tried a bit..."  Then he said the other guys at the party put on costumes and started "Squeaking" 

Anyway, at the end of the skit they cut to a shot of the interviewer who's now back at the studio and he goes.  "That was my interview with 'David'.  But you'd know him as..." and then flash the guys real name and address on the screen.  :smile:

You know I just can't feel sorry for a person being killed by taking a horses willy up the bunghole.
At what point does someone say "You know I think I want a horses c*** up my a**." when do you cross that line?

Obviously after you cross over the line into insanity... gee what would his mother think?

I just wathced "Cannibal Hookers". It wasnt exaclty "sick and depraved", but it was definatly wacky.

I've heard about it and even scenes from it in a British magazine a year ago.Very sick stuff! I first read about it in Rolling Stone and how there were lots of men going up to this farm,having sex with the animals(horses,dogs,sheep)and they even had videos of it..If you go to YouTube and look up "beastality" there are videos of people talking about it and I even had one discussion with this guy who was defending it!!!!!!! UGH..

It isn't just men, there are a a lot of women into bestiality too. It goes back 100's if not 1000's of years, proving the world is not sicker today than it was centuries ago. Just look at the Romans.

I can't imagine what goes on in people's minds to think,"Hey,that sheep is kind of cute.I think I'll sleep with it!" Remember,even Jerry Springer had that guy on his show who married his horse,but I think he died.He even wrote a book about it.Whatever happens to these people,they get what they deserve.
