The German / South African co-production The Whispering Death aka Albino aka Night of Askari is the one that does it for me.
Filmed during the bush war in my birth country, the film features a police officer driven mad by his wife's murder, hunts down the albino killer, known as The Whispering Death.
I grew up during that war and my Dad served in the police so it is very uncomfortable for me to watch: the book is miles better and also has a sense of humor, unlike the movie which is a grueling exercise.
ABSURD (1981)
love italian horror but this one,... not sure what it is. think it's the very jarring music, plus the fact it's a weird ass movie anyway. tres uncomftz!
^ It kinda reminded me as a HALLOWEEN rip-off, only much gorier.
similar in some respects I guess
George Eastman is a convincing psycho
Nazis at the centre of the earth.
The Joseph Mengel giving a forced abortion scene.
The War Game
Discarded People
The Fog of War
As the son of a disabled Vietnam vet, there's something about realistic war movies that just makes me uncomfortable. So for the most part I try to avoid them.
I also really dislike torture porn movies.
Another thing that gets me is movies where one character is clearly a jerk, and not a comical one. Something about a person just being realistically mean for no reason sets me off.

Thank you for your Dad's service. :smile:
The Killing of a Sacred Deer. That movie gave me the creeps.
Streetwise (1984)
(https://www.play-doc.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/04/STREETWISE.jpg)
It is a documentary/Indie film about runaways, troubled teens and young adults living on the streets of downtown Seattle, Washington. It is kind of like a real life version of Angel (1984) but more depressing, sad and disturbing at times.
