Films that disturbed you?

GERMANIA ANNO ZERO 

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

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. 

When I first saw BATTLESHIP POTEMKIN (1925) it disturbed me.
So yeah- I know what you mean.

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.

yeah quite tame by today's standards

the quasi-sequel ABSURD is better imo. and more disturbing!

Both movies had some shocking scenes, but for the most part- just plain boring.

When I saw Vampira in a clip from PLAN 9 FROM OUTER SPACE (1959) on the opening of Chiller Theater in 1968- it f**ked me up. She scared the s**t out of me.

I don't know how anyone ever considered The Wizard of Oz a kids' show when I've always thought it was utterly disturbing.

Never been able to enjoy surreal movies. Even Alice in Wonderland disturbs me a bit, whereas strangely brutal violence tends not to (unless it involves kids).

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."

I felt exactly the same way about HENRY: PORTRAIT OF A SERIAL KILLER.  Decades passed before I watched it again.  I remembered it accurately.  It's excellent, unusual, hugely depressing, and DISTURBING.  Really, a great but impossible to recommend film.

BATTLESHIP POTEMKIN is a great film.  I think you could compare BATTLESHIP POTEMKIN with GERMANIA ANNO ZERO, but it's not a War film; it's a post-War film, like, post apocalypse...  it's about a family trying to survive... cinematic downer.  You won't forget it, once you've seen it.

Matewan is another movie that disturbed me. My next door neighbor when I was a kid was from West Virginia and that incident, the massacre and the coal company wars, made a deep impression on her life. I watched the movie with her (the second time I saw it) and asked her opinion and she said the culture was right, the portrayal of the miners living as slaves in all but name to government-backed companies that were like crime empires. Moreso than anyplace I can think of (even Texas) Appalachia is a country within a country to this day. Just a disturbing but well-made film.

the ending of Gone Girl

The TV movies Baffled, Crowhaven Farm and Something Evil scared the crap out of me.

There's also two scenes in two non horror films which disturbed me: the interrogation scene with the human head in Gorky Park and the little girl with the bleeding teddy bear in Still of The Night.

''Never let me go''

A very disturbibg movie about human being literally reduced to resources to be consumed by the rich and quietly accepting it instead of fighting it. A terrible movie for today's world and a vgery disturbing one given it's message.
