Sick & Depraved Movies

[BixDugan]

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....!

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....

You need professional help. ( )

Well, I've never seen it myself, but I'll take Cracked's word for it:

To people who read The New Yorker, Gray was best known for his post-modern, hyper intellectual monologues (and films of same), like Swimming to Cambodia. (We knew him as a smarty-pants Garrison Keillor type that made our college professors rub themselves against their desks with their eyes closed, quietly singing "When Doves Cry.")

But before all that, Gray starred in the ultra-violent, hardcore rape/incest-themed film The Farmer's Daughter. He portrayed the leader of a group of escaped convicts who encounter a rural family and... well, they don't sit around chatting about current events. To be completely honest, the movie is seriously sick. What with the farmer and his daughters and the convicts and... look, some nasty s**t goes down. If you know someone who owns a copy, take it from us: Don't invite them out camping.

This is the Internet Movie Database dossier on that movie:

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?

[Neville]

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.
