Films that disturbed you?

[Trevor]

For me, it's the following:

Event Horizon

Jannie Totsiens

Darfur / Attack On Darfur

The Stick

The Medusa Touch

The Believers

Prince of Darkness


There are others such as The Sound of Music and My Little Pony   but these should do for now.

[The Burgomaster]

[bob]

Chinatown

[Alex]

Can't remember the name of this movie, but I once saw a film where a woman attempted to kill herself by shoving a handful of fishing hooks up her hoohaa and then ripping them out.

Chinatown

Agreed: that one didn't disturb me but I felt quite depressed after seeing it.

Xiu Xiu The Sent Down Girl (1998) is horrifyingly depressing and sad.

Unbreakable (2000) Although it's a great movie, the atmosphere it creates is very disturbing.

The Beyond (1980) I haven't seen it but the trailer disturbs me.

Maniac (1980)

Henry: Portrait of a Serial Killer stuck with me for a while. It was one of those films where, when it ends, you say "OK, that was good... but I don't ever want to see it again."

Maniac (1980)

I have to agree with both of those. Yet I watched them again.

I could say the same for the TOOLBOX MURDERS (1978).

TEXAS CHAINSAW MASSACRE
GERMANIA ANNO ZERO 
TWO WOMEN
LA DOLCE VITA

and two dishonorable mentions:

LAST HOUSE ON THE LEFT 
I SPIT ON YOUR GRAVE  

I was disturbed by the opening sequence of WILD AT HEART 

[RCMerchant]

GERMANIA ANNO ZERO 

I've heard good things about this. I reckon I need to see it.

GERMANIA ANNO ZERO

It's probably not what you think.  GERMANY YEAR ZERO is the title in English (it's 1948, Italian Neorealism).  It is extraordinarily powerful; not violent, not gory, but, shocking.

Haha that's how I felt about The Elephant Man.

I think I'm way too desensitized to movies to be really disturbed by anything. Things like the Elephant Man might bum me out. I guess Men Behind the Sun was pretty creepy since they used real cadavers for scenes and the child murder scene is again quite sad. But nothing that's going to like psychologically scar me or anything like that.

LONG WEEKEND (1978)

This one. Never seen a film with a more tense and claustrophobic atmosphere, which just builds and builds. It's a very low-key film, but so intense.

I got semi-disturbed by ROSEMARY'S BABY, DEEP RED, AMEEICAN WEREWOLF IN LONDON, and THE BROOD the first time I saw them.

When I was in high school, I went to see ANTHROPHAGUS for the first time.
It bothered me so bad I walked out halfway through!
Saw it again, years later, on VHS and it barely creeped me out a little.
