      I watched Saiko! The Large Family myself the other day. I didn't find it disturbing in the least, I actually found it quite uplifting. I don't want to say why here just in case anybody wants to watch it....okay you've twisted my arm, vague spoilers from this point. I found it uplifting because it's moves from a bad situation to a good situation. Moreover, it's people in a potentially bad situation who take action and make their situation better. It illustrates how one good person can make a difference in people's lives.

    Trivia: The girl that played Cebe in Out of The Blue is Linda Manz. She played Solomon's mother in Gummo. You could think of Gummo as an unofficial follow-up to Out of the Blue. Makes sense. Aleksey Kravchenko had a small role in The Painted Bird. He played Flyora Gayshun in Come In See. I think I watched the film Savage Streets when I was little. It looks like the kind of film my dad would watch back then. Looks very familiar.

    Hello Emma!
    The Isle (Seom) by Kim Kiduk is an amazing disturbing korean film from the 2000 and one of my favourite films in general. It's about a woman who's willingly refuses to speak and her relationship with a man with questionable past. It's very sad, very slow, full of beautiful shots of nature and features a few very interesting and distribing ways to use a fishing hook.
    Viewer discretion it has scenes of animal abuse

      @brandonavery133 4 дня назад

      ​@Jakota1993 I think his quote on this is fairly accurate:
      "In America you eat beef, pork, and kill all these animals. And the people who eat these animals are not concerned with their slaughter. Animals are part of this cycle of consumption. It looks more cruel onscreen, but I don't see the difference. And yes, there's a cultural difference, and maybe Americans will have a problem with it - but if they can just be more sensitive to what is acceptable in different countries I'd hope they wouldn't have too many issues with what's shown on-screen."
      My dad was an avid fisherman, and cleaned his catch before he cooked it. It was never about cruelty.

      I haven't watched that movie yet because I read the book. That was such a hard read. I kept hoping for a moment where I could relax so I could take a break from reading it, but that didn't happen. Instead I took breaks when the book got too intense. Between that book and Offspring, I somehow became a fan of Jack Ketchum as a writer. That's a positive thing I suppose lol.

    Okay, who let Savage Streets into the house? When I saw that film get recommended, I had a total flashback to late 80's video rentals. There are only a handful of movies I hate to admit I saw and Savage Streets is one of them. It was directed by Danny Steinmann who also directed "Friday The 13th, Part 5: A New Beginning", which is also known for its excessive female nudity. How I know that little bit of trivia can only be explained that I must have rented both films around the same time and that director's name just stuck out.

    Not sure if you have talked about this one yet, but Dave Made a Maze. It is basically a guy that builds a cardboard maze in his living room and his friends begrugingly join him in his wacky antics. But seriously this movie had me glued to the screen, spotting all the little details they crammed into the maze. It's clear the filmmakers had a blast building this thing, and that passion just shines through. I don't want to say too much, but it has a lot of fantastic practical effects and unique visuals. Def worth a watch.

    I'd give I guess what I'd call a soft recommendation for a film called All I See Is You. It's imperfect and very mainstream-feeling in a lot of ways, but there's a reveal in it midway through that just shook and horrified me so much I still considering it one of the most disturbing movies I've ever seen. It's really more a personal thing, I think, than anything the film itself is doing (it's playing with some of my greatest fears), but I do think it's a shame it's so overlooked. It's not a great film, but it deserves some appreciation. And Blake Lively's performance is quite good.

The fact that it is based on a true event makes in incredibly hard to watch, to deal with emotionally. IT makes me so incredibly angry throughout and Catherine Keener's performance as an utter emotionally bereft psycho is so incredibly disturbing. The fact that her kids joined in on her psychosis it absolutely, exquisitely disturbing. It is the kind of film I never wish I watched.

    I would like to suggest the tv show Baby Reindeer which is on Netflix over here (Ireland) and may I also suggest that nobody watch it, because although it is a fantastic piece of work from a, I think writing point of view, it has left me in deep, deep trouble from a psychological/emotional point of view. That's not me being cute. It's presented as a stalker story but is actually, in my view, a masterful exploration of a character. I thought I benefited from not knowing anything about the show, and where it goes, but actually I finished it yesterday and have been having a prolonged panic attack since. Today is just a complete right off. Which means that this list dropped at the best time possible because I find a release or catharsis in films like these.

    I love Out Of the Blue. It was recently restored and released on Blu-ray, thanks, in part, to fans Chloë Sevigny and Natasha Lyonne. A few of my picks: Candy Land (2002)- I love dark films, but this went just a bit over the edge for me. Olivia Luccardi gives a great central performance, however. Chilean director Pablo Larraín has made several disturbing films, including Tony Manero and The Club. Leolo (1992) is a French-Canadian film that deserves a reissue; director Jean-Claude Lauzon only made two films before his death in a plane crash. Last is Excision( 2012)- I don't think it totally works, but I gasped several times, and AnnaLynne McCord is great in the lead.
