Movies That Traumatized You

Wolf. The thought of Michelle Phififefffererrferr bumping uglies with Jack Nicholson.

found Hammer House Of Horror on dvd in HMV for a tenner. bargain at that price -- the blu ray was £30! will report back when I've watched a few episodes, but I think I'll like it...

Hammer House Of Horror is top fun. Like many series of that time, you'll spot actors from other places, like Blake's 7's Paul Darrow. Plus the delightfully minxy British and European actresses of that time.

I second Dirkie / Lost In The Desert (1970) as a movie that scarred me. It's a film about a young boy, lost in the desert, blinded by heat and sun and thinking he's eating the remains of his lost dog. Saw that as a kid and it burned into my mind indelibly. Trevor and I have discussed this phenomenon before! 

Here be spoilers:

Are you sure he was eating the dog? My recollection is that he thought he was and freaked out at the father and son who were helping him and after he chased them away, the dog reappears.

yep I've watched 2 episodes so far, The House That Bled Death and Silent Scream. weirder and a lot more edgy than I anticipated...definitely scarier and more tense than any Hammer movies I've seen. looking forwad to the rest! (thanks again Alex  )

I have to say, The House That Bled Death has a big effect on me when I first saw it (aged around 7 or 8 I think). Glad you are enjoying them, I hate recommending something to someone and then they don't like it, especially if they've went out and bought something on my say so.

heh...my back up plan was if I didn't like it then it would be my brother's xmas present instead, so it was always a no lose situation :)

A very unsettling film indeed.

It's been ten years since I screened the film for an audience - this was at a 2008 film festival - but my recollection is that Dirkie thinks the San [Bushmen] are giving him his dog to eat (which they aren't) and his father finds him at the end and the dog Lollie is there too.

Very very unsettling film.

Month python and the meaning of life nearly sent me into shock when I saw the "every sperm is sacred" skit...

[Trevor]

Manhunter with William Petersen is another film which unsettled me when I first saw it and it still does. Very un-nerving, even when I saw it on TV.

As I said, "... lost in the desert, blinded by heat and sun and thinking he's eating the remains of his lost dog."   

That'll teach me to try something as complicated as reading an entire sentence 

[Trevor]

I saw an advanced viewing of Trevor's Man On Toilet 

I will never be the same again

How odd, I just watched that again last night. Not the scene I'd think would traumatize you.

Probably a mistake engaging that person on that subject.

the commercials for Gremlins gave me nightmares as a kid  - never seen it in a related note
