Monster House got pretty disturbing at the end when you find out how the wife died and the fact she's buried under the house, there's many other things to it too but I still love that movie lol
I just watched "Requiem for a Dream" for the first time today. I ordered food before it started. By the time it was delivered, I had lost my appetite. What a movie. On another note; Ellen Burstyn had one of the most impressive performances I have ever seen
I stopped watching the Oscars when Julia Roberts won over Ellen Burstyn that year for her role in Erin Brockovich which was nowhere near as stunning (if at all) in any way as Ellen's role in Requiem for a Dream was. She was incredible in this movie.
Matilda was extra disturbing to watch as a child because I had a physically abusive kindergarten teacher who would pick up kids and shake them, force us to sit outside in freezing weather, and violently squeeze our cheeks. She would punish us for small things like the way we would sit. She was eventually arrested. She is so much like Trunchbull from Matilda. I was terrified of that character because of this. I know it was supposed to be unrealistic, but to me it was realistic and scary because it was something I had experienced before.
Forever Eva So sorry that happened to you and your classmates. I also had a horrible 5th grade teacher that would call some of the children stupid and humiliate them. And she was always screaming her head off. It’s sad when adults take out their anger on innocent children.🙁
'Requiem' is one of the most disturbing movies primarily because of the sound; it has profoundly nihilistic ambient sound playing throughout, which is very depressing in itself.
I own this movie. It sits in my DVD collection and sometimes I get an itch to watch it, but I can never find myself ready to watch it again. It’s one of the only movies that really gets to me. It’s such an interesting and gut wrenching movie.
PlatinumRoseLady, yeah it's pretty awesome. The actress who plays the mom was even nominated for an Oscar. But it's a little hard to watch. The characters just break down to hopeless addicts who have no chance at achieving their dreams that they wanted at the beginning of the film because of their addictions.
PlatinumRoseLady I own it and sometimes think hey I wanna watch this again. Then I think of the crippling anxiety it caused me and I say Not today Satan!!!
I just watched it, one of the best and most moving movies I have ever seen, I promised myself going in i would watch the whole thing without pausing/looking away. I had a difficult trip on mushrooms and getting through that movie was worse. Broke down crying at the end.
Requiem for a dream was amazing. I saw it first in 04, and afterwords couldn't shake this depression that had come over me for weeks on end. Watched it again maybe 5-6 years ago, same thing. Heh. But powerful for sure ♥️
Always saw Trainspotting as a smaller, less serious brother from Requiem for a Dream, it has some really funny moments but it's almost as disturbing as Requiem (that baby scene haunts me lol)
Enzo Ferrari you can stop. It took me 7 months of rehab to get it together. Do not be afraid to ask for help. Search for rehabilitation centers near your and get yourself on that waiting list. You can do this.
As the child of a long dead addict, and an addict myself it is one of my favorite films, although one I do not watch often. It requires some serious mental prperation to watch but the reward of showing someone who has no understanding of addiction what it isa really like is invaluable.
I think that Requiem for a Dream should be shown to highs school students (with the nudity edited out). I think that it would be more effective than any anti drug program. When I was that age I never understood why drug addicts didn't just quit if the drugs are ruining their lives. Now I understand that it's just not that simple.
lol, cause high school students surely never seen any nudity in today's internet times. And god forbids if they would saw a few seconds of sex scene. It's okay to see blood splattering, arm mutilation, electroshock therapy, frightening hallucinations and overall intense suffering, but nudity would simply kill them.
widM I personally feel that excessive violence is far more offensive than nudity, I guarantee you that there would be parents up in arms to get both the movie AND the book banned from the school district over that one scene. That's why I brought up censoring or removing it fot high school audiences.
Ryan Cox: One particular scene in that movie that I found disturbing was when they were in the Chopper and the guy behind the M-60 was shooting indiscriminately at the civilians in the rice fields. When Raptorman asked him how he knew which ones to shoot at the man replied: "If they run away then they're V.C. (Viet-Cong). If they stand still then they're a well disciplined V.C." In that same vein, Apocalypse Now has its scary moments while delving into the darkside of the Human Psyche. When madness prevails anything and everything can happen.
Two words: “Watership Down” Watching a bunch of rabbits disembowel and rip each other’s guts out for 90 minutes turns out to not be great idea for a kids film. Seriously, that shit was unbelievably gruesome.
GimmieAName Yea it didn't bother me that much, like I didn't _enjoy_ it, but it didn't scar me for life or anything. But like. To this day if ever I share anything on facebook about rabbits my mom comments something from or about the book. Hell one time I was petsitting a friend's pet rabbit, and the rabbit did the side flop thing they do when they feel really safe/comfortable around someone. Since it was the second day of me pet sitting I took a picture with him and posted it, because it made me happy. She commented about how I was braver than her for being that close to a rabbit??? Like Snicklefritz was delightful wtf. She, again, brought up watership down.
I almost threw up while watching Requiem for a Dream. It's just unsettling to watch. It has a green overcast, like it's dirty to watch. The mother's story I think it's the worst.
BetterLifeAhead Oh my gosh, yes!! That movie was as scary as anything I have ever seen. And, even tho we are supposed to be rooting for the mom, by the end I was so confused, angry & torn up that I didn't even want to keep watching. But it definitely is spooky & DISTURBING.
All I remember about that film is Kevin furiously jerking off while staring at his mother in the doorway of his bedroom. I couldn't help but laugh at the tension.
It's disturbing but not scary to me. I view the movie as a story of motherhood. Many people believe being a mother (or parent) is innate, wired to brain, and we often blame parents who we deem incapable of rearing their children. But mothers can experience baby blues, or there are stressors in her surrounding, including the relationship with her husband and family. Parenting skills too are learned through process, not given to us when our children are born. What is more, the child also seems to have antisocial traits to begin with, makes it challenging to deal as a mother. I think the title is quite straightforward. We need to talk about Kevin.
The '80s, when I grew up, seemed to have a lot of creepy or disturbing "kid's movies": Time Bandits, The Dark Crystal, The Neverending Story, Return to Oz, Labyrinth. The one that probably scared me most as a kid was "Watcher in the Woods," a Disney movie from 1980, which in retrospect I think was a sort of Disney-fied ripoff of "The Shining" (despite the fact that it was allegedly adapted from a novel published before the Stephen King book). I was already an adult by the time "Coraline" came out, but it also belongs in this category, and when I saw it it brought back memories of "Return to Oz." (And not in a bad way. It's a great film.)
Isaac Smith I did, but disturbing to me is like explicit slaughter. I watch law and order a lot so I wasn’t really shocked by it. That does not change the fact though that I cried for most of the movie. That scene was more emotional than anything for me because you could see the fear in her eyes.
Yeah those are freaky films but I think your forgetting the topic at hand. Films that are family friendly by appearances, yet have depths of darkness and indecipherable horror that one can barely even explain WHY it's horror. One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest is an obvious example of a mind F*°k of which no one would consider taking their CHILDREN! Think a little deeper about this ....
I was at a friend’s house the first time I watched Requiem for a Dream. After it was over I quietly excused myself to the bathroom and cried for forty five minutes.
I loved it as an adult! It's quirky, well written, hilarious and Jon Lovett's voice over in it is wonderful! They are WAY off the mark with this one because they have entirely missed the irony in that wonderful little film. It's not disturbing at all.
For Willy Wonka, the scenes that gave me nightmares as a kid were Augustus Gloop being sucked up the pipe and Charlie & his Grandad try to escape floating into the giant fan.
That was such a great film. It’s so underrated and overshadowed by the disney films that came out around the same time. Speaking of disney films, the black cauldron had some disturbing moments and was awesome like nimh
YES!!! We nearly wore that old VHS copy out! Another one full of hard concepts but ones children must be aware of & able to face. But I almost always sat down & watched it with them. (The phrase, "Oooooo!! A sparkly!!" became a catch phrase in our family due to Dom DeLuise's hysterical performance as Jeremy the Crow.) But I felt like it was better to be right there at their side for hugs, consolation & explanations rather than leave them feeling frightened or confused. A great movie.
I happened to watch that movie one day. No idea what it was. Totally changed my viewpoint on what it meant to be desperate enough to keep living. I both loved and hated the father in that movie and was left with so many questions. I also have not been able to watch it a second time nor do I wish to read the book.
I've read the book which is amazing but never could watch the movie. I tried once or twice but... I just can't knowing what it is about. I've always had issues with stories that involve cannibalism, I just can't.
The book is incredible. Very depressing, but Cormac McCarthy is an incredible author and all of his books are fantastically realistic and well written.
Yeah, I watched that in my early 20s. I didn't find it creepy or spooky (like I and many others feel about a film like Requiem for a Dream, for example). But I thought it was incredibly depressing. Very disturbing from a psychology point of view. I felt like complete shit after watching it.
It's been a very long time since I've watched it (over 15 years ago), so I can't recall that specific scene. I do remember one scene in which he was lying in bed, hugging a pillow as he tried to sleep, because he felt so lonely. I remember that really getting to me for some reason when I saw the movie and it stuck in my head over the years.
Amores Perros (2000) Sid And Nancy (1986) Leaving Las Vegas (1995) Midnight Cowboy (1968) Midnight Express (1978) River's Edge (1986) Romper Stomper (1993) Hardcore (1979) Deliverance (1975) American History X (1998) Those are pretty disturbing if you ask me.
Oh and did you know that he named the Empress "Moonchild"?? I actually read the book and that's what it was. You can hear it if you're listening for it.
I had a fight or flight response from my PTSD to it and ran out of the theater during the big end sequence. BE CAREFUL! There's a lot of truly disturbing imagery and plot points.
Along with Requiem for a Dream, Mother! was very disturbing as well. I should've known it was also directed by Darren Aronofsky. I also found the imagery in Hereditary to be disturbing, I left the theater before the movie ended. Toni Collette's acting was amazing though!
Alien Intention Dallas buyers club was real. Ronald Woodroof was a real person who created the Dallas buyers club. Why are you acting like the internet doesn’t exist?
*Eyes Wide Shut* - the ritual scene is over the top frightening and also because of the shady background of the whole movie. Stanley Kubrick is exposing the secret societies from Hollywood with this movie and then he gets killed. Just like his characters in his movie who are a threat of the secrecy of the society end up mysteriously dead.
The most disturbing thing about it is D-bag abuser Tom Cruise who after Kidman left his sick ass all but abducted Katie Holmes. Asshole should be in jail.
Banana Nice Cream I really loved the original BFG! It was scary and creepy and surely disturbing for some but I watched it over and over again. The remake is nice, but it can't reach the awesoneness of the animated movie.
Yes, it certainly was! I was trying think of that one so thank you. This list they have here is rather hilarious. Including "The Brave Little Toaster." and not this one?
Id say The war of the worlds with tom cruise. It's labeled as a thriller or scifi action. But how the tripods emerge from the ground in the beginning and make that horn sound. People watching with mixed emotion. Some running in terror. Others watching in awe. Then the tripod fires it's heat ray vaporizing people instantly, leaving nothing but ashes and the clothes they had on behind. It sends everyone running in desperate fear, pushing and shoving as the alien war machine kills every human it sees. Sparing none. Tom cruise barley gets away. He's covered in ash from other people that were vaporized by the aliens. It's truly terrifying.
TwistMyMoose omg right?! The gelflings being tortured, the skeksis attacking and stripping that one skeksi and then the death of their queen omgggggg im having flash backs
because it's not. it's just The Bodyguard in anime. if that's your criteria for the "most disturbing" movie you've seen, then you need to watch more movies.
would you guys do a commentary on the movie KIDS (1992?)? i think it would have fit in well the this video here. Requiem for a Dream along with The Never Ending Story i thought were two very good choices. i remember that i saw the movie KIDS the reality and the concluding monologue scared me in that long lasting, irie way that you just can't escape like some of the other movies mentioned. Thanx!
Lost highway. No film has ever made me feel so anxious and uncomfortable, especially the scene where Fred meets the mystery man, one of the scariest scenes ever
Wow hadn't thought of Apocalypse Now good one! Technically a War movie, but it really is a psychological horror experience. It's meant to capture Paranoia for well over half of the film, most of it really.
I know someone who, in his hippie days, used to go to midnight movies where you could smoke pot in the theater while watching cult movies. One I would add to your list is Pink Flamingos. While it does not have fantasy creatures or talking appliances, it has some creepy weird scenes. The worst, imho, was in the dead last moment as "Doggie in the Window" plays. I think new laws were passed in part because of this film, not joking. Movies Heavy Metal and Legend deserved honorable mentions, imho.
Man Bites Dog; Happiness (Todd Solondz); Borgman (Alex van Warmerdam); anything by Yorgos Lanthimos. And ah, anything by Roman Polanski - knowing what the guy did.
Requiem for a Dream really I would say is the most effective film of all time, I just feel absolutely dreadful by the end of it and never exactly plan on viewing it again. Bravo to the filmmakers
Try: - Dancer in the dark (2000) - Girl Next door (2007) - Cannibal Holocaust (1980) - In a glass cage (1986) - Come and see (1985) - Salo or 120 days of sodom (1975)

Nightcrawler
"Salo" scary as hell!

I saw it as kid it left a scar in my soul forever

Y'all are forgetting 'Coraline! That movie is not for kids. Buttons for eyes... Nope not today lol & the movie 'Monster House' is freaky too!
FreshIzAWayOfLife Oh Yes, I almost shitted my pants xD
Even as a kid, just seeing the poster for Coraline or a short clip of the movie made me terrified
My kids love Coraline lol I guess I have creepy kids
Yeah I'm ngl.. you probably do lol
Monster House got pretty disturbing at the end when you find out how the wife died and the fact she's buried under the house, there's many other things to it too but I still love that movie lol

RideShare Tips, did you know she was nominated for an Oscar for this role?
I believe she won awards for that performance as the tweaker mom.
I still intend to watch that at some point,
just because I've known the epuc music throuhgh YT since 2010 or so.
It's akin to "Train spotting" and "Kids". Very mentally disturbing films that will leave you pondering for weeks on end .

Two words: “Watership Down”
Watching a bunch of rabbits disembowel and rip each other’s guts out for 90 minutes turns out to not be great idea for a kids film.
Seriously, that shit was unbelievably gruesome.
Sean Kratovil-Lavelle I saw it for the first time a year ago, but the 'bad air' scene was horrifying! And this movie was made for kids??
Oh god yes. I remember as a kid watching the scene where the one rabbit got blasted by a shotgun and they were picking the buckshot out of him
Dont forget about the plague dogs, it. Was written by the same author and equally if not more disturbing.
Watership down caused a lifelong fear of rabbits in my mother..... so like. Yea I feel like it belongs here!!

Watched it together with my mother the 2nd time. The dildo scene definitely was the climax of it all.

Mulholland drive and lost highway 😍😍
Blue Velvet
Watership Down and The Secret of NIMH are two I cannot watch again or read.
Spot on with Willy Wonka, that boat scene fucked me up.
For Willy Wonka, the scenes that gave me nightmares as a kid were Augustus Gloop being sucked up the pipe and Charlie & his Grandad try to escape floating into the giant fan.
Maverick Baking terrifying moment for most children. I cried when I saw it for the first time.
The Secret of NIMH
Desiree Garcia you just blew my mind
That was such a great film. It’s so underrated and overshadowed by the disney films that came out around the same time. Speaking of disney films, the black cauldron had some disturbing moments and was awesome like nimh
YES!!! We nearly wore that old VHS copy out! Another one full of hard concepts but ones children must be aware of & able to face. But I almost always sat down & watched it with them. (The phrase, "Oooooo!! A sparkly!!" became a catch phrase in our family due to Dom DeLuise's hysterical performance as Jeremy the Crow.) But I felt like it was better to be right there at their side for hugs, consolation & explanations rather than leave them feeling frightened or confused. A great movie.
I LOVED that movie. LOVED it.
+Mikey yes i fucking loved the black cauldron
A good movie about addiction: The Basketball Diaries
And that has nothing to do with my pfp I sweAR
DaddyIssues that’s my favorite movie by far. It’s amazing
Im wathing it now..
DaddyIssues good god that films intense
FYI: "Return to Oz" uses characters and ideas from the Oz books that are just as weird in the books.
The brave little toaster was one of my favorites!
‘The Road’ was so harrowing for me! An excellent Film in every aspect,but so sad and disconcerting that I have never been able to watch it again!
PETER KEANE Another Cormac McCarthy adaptation! Great author
PETER KEANE read the book... twice at heartbreaking
I happened to watch that movie one day. No idea what it was.
Totally changed my viewpoint on what it meant to be desperate enough to keep living.
I both loved and hated the father in that movie and was left with so many questions. I also have not been able to watch it a second time nor do I wish to read the book.
I've read the book which is amazing but never could watch the movie. I tried once or twice but... I just can't knowing what it is about. I've always had issues with stories that involve cannibalism, I just can't.
The book is incredible. Very depressing, but Cormac McCarthy is an incredible author and all of his books are fantastically realistic and well written.
Pink Floyd-The Wall (1982) is pretty spooky
Yeah, I watched that in my early 20s. I didn't find it creepy or spooky (like I and many others feel about a film like Requiem for a Dream, for example). But I thought it was incredibly depressing. Very disturbing from a psychology point of view.
I felt like complete shit after watching it.
You felt like shit after watching it? That's oddly a selling point for me.
Well, I guess it did what it set out to do. In regards to that, I say to The Wall:
"Well played."
Jarod Smith SAME! The saddest scene for me was during comfortably numb when he's in the chair and the doctors walk in to get him ready for the "show".
It's been a very long time since I've watched it (over 15 years ago), so I can't recall that specific scene. I do remember one scene in which he was lying in bed, hugging a pillow as he tried to sleep, because he felt so lonely. I remember that really getting to me for some reason when I saw the movie and it stuck in my head over the years.
Amores Perros (2000)
Sid And Nancy (1986)
Leaving Las Vegas (1995)
Midnight Cowboy (1968)
Midnight Express (1978)
River's Edge (1986)
Romper Stomper (1993)
Hardcore (1979)
Deliverance (1975)
American History X (1998)
Those are pretty disturbing if you ask me.
That curb stomp scene was shocking
Deliverance 110%
River's Edge was a surprisingly good movie, highly recommended 👏
+Are Fuentes It's one of the most badass movies of all time. It's one of my all-time faves.
Come and see beat half of those films
Matilda's parents are pretty scary, too.
Or that fat torturer
The never ending story has never left my psyche.
The Gmork, the Nothing, or the Swamp of Sadness? Maybe the Southern Oracle? Because.... Yeah. Thank god for Falcor.
Oh and did you know that he named the Empress "Moonchild"?? I actually read the book and that's what it was. You can hear it if you're listening for it.
Mine neither. Especially because the horse actually died in real life in that one scene.... 😟 I can't watch this again.
Tinkili Whoever told you this, it's not true!
I just googled and... You're actually right? I honestly can't remember where I heard this, but I sure am happy the horse survived!
We Need To Talk About Kevin should be here.
Shhhh.... We really don't need to talk about We Need to Talk About Kevin.
Mother! should be on this list. It’s horrific at a base level and even more disturbing once you realize what the film is actually about.
I’m too scared to watch it so if you don’t mind could you tell me what it’s actually about? lmao
The baby scene sent me over the edge... the horror.
OC allday I’ve never seen a more confused and disturbed audience in a movie theater when I watched this.
Same here. My husband and I left the theater with a weird shock... We didn't even know how to discuss the movie afterward.
I had a fight or flight response from my PTSD to it and ran out of the theater during the big end sequence. BE CAREFUL! There's a lot of truly disturbing imagery and plot points.
I'd add in A Land Before Time... loved it as a kid, but when you're high and watch it as an adult, its terrifying!!
peanut butter solution 1980s check out the trailer its sooo misleading!
makes it look like a comedy..its dark and demented and not in a good
way..
Recquium for a dream is 1 of the most gripping movies I've ever seen. Well acted with a believable storyline.
Along with Requiem for a Dream, Mother! was very disturbing as well. I should've known it was also directed by Darren Aronofsky. I also found the imagery in Hereditary to be disturbing, I left the theater before the movie ended. Toni Collette's acting was amazing though!
I love me some disturbing films
hmm yes interesting. I see you everywhere
Watch "Party Monster" if you haven't
Mysterious Skin, I warn you though
hmm yes interesting. If you want something disturbing, look up Lolita.
Edgy
The skin I live in by Pedro Almodòvar starring Antonio Banderas was something else...
Detailz Entertainment That was intense. Awesome and really scary movie.
Detailz Entertainment yes! Loved it
Literally, it should be on the list, one of the best work
That movie was insane!
Thank you for including Akira.
You forgot the worst one... Jesus Camp! :O
"Dancer in the Dark" with Bjork
I saw that it was good
The Normal Heart. Because it all actually happened. That movie makes me bawl my eyes out every time I watch it
dallas buyers club also
And the Band Played on. So good.
devsox1 oh my gosh yes I couldn't watch it again it's too heavy
Alien Intention Dallas buyers club was real. Ronald Woodroof was a real person who created the Dallas buyers club. Why are you acting like the internet doesn’t exist?
Alien Intention Larry Kramer who originally wrote it as a play based a number of the characters on people he knew at the time.
No films of David Lynch? Lost Highway? Inland Empire? Eraserhead? They are way scarier than most horror films.
What's that crazy Lynch movie where the dude constantly sniffs ETHER and looses his freaking head
should of put that second Spongebob movie on here. That movie is fucked up lol
Matthew North It's not even scary
G O D yeah I think I was tired and thought he was actually serious:P
I hate that movie
Rick Torrus I hate you
*Eyes Wide Shut* - the ritual scene is over the top frightening and also because of the shady background of the whole movie. Stanley Kubrick is exposing the secret societies from Hollywood with this movie and then he gets killed. Just like his characters in his movie who are a threat of the secrecy of the society end up mysteriously dead.
i thought that was a stupid movie
YOu didn't state that in the form of a question, so does it count?
The most disturbing thing about it is D-bag abuser Tom Cruise who after Kidman left his sick ass all but abducted Katie Holmes. Asshole should be in jail.
Must EVERY thread on RUclips have at least one conspiracy theorist? Every.Single.Thread??
@@rca6576 And rightly so. Lot of these things do happen.
Glad to see Requiem for a Dream on the list. That movie is disturbing but excellent!
Roald Dahl ... one of the greatest writers of all time.
Banana Nice Cream I really loved the original BFG! It was scary and creepy and surely disturbing for some but I watched it over and over again. The remake is nice, but it can't reach the awesoneness of the animated movie.
Don't forget "The cook, the thief, his wife, her lover" - it's demoralizingly disturbing.
Yes, it certainly was! I was trying think of that one so thank you. This list they have here is rather hilarious. Including "The Brave Little Toaster." and not this one?
Pee Wee's play house used to scare the crap outta me as a kid
large marge sent ya "eye pop face"
Id say The war of the worlds with tom cruise. It's labeled as a thriller or scifi action.
But how the tripods emerge from the ground in the beginning and make that horn sound. People watching with mixed emotion. Some running in terror. Others watching in awe.
Then the tripod fires it's heat ray vaporizing people instantly, leaving nothing but ashes and the clothes they had on behind. It sends everyone running in desperate fear, pushing and shoving as the alien war machine kills every human it sees. Sparing none. Tom cruise barley gets away. He's covered in ash from other people that were vaporized by the aliens.
It's truly terrifying.
Shindlers List is a greatly disturbing and depressing movie
It's supposed to be. The list above are movies for kids or that were unintentionally disturbing
As is Sophie's Choice.
The Dark Crystal. Scared the crap out of me.
me toooo
Me too honestly not sure I could watch it today being 32
TwistMyMoose omg right?! The gelflings being tortured, the skeksis attacking and stripping that one skeksi and then the death of their queen omgggggg im having flash backs
Aw were the big fuzzy wuzzy puppets too scawy for you? The only problem with this flick is how derpy they made the main character.
Sadly no one says about Perfect Blue as the most disturbing movie
0Gotenks
True.
Satoshi Kon's gets slept on. Paranoia Agent is one of the most chilling shows I've ever seen
Perfect Blue was disturbing
because it's not. it's just The Bodyguard in anime. if that's your criteria for the "most disturbing" movie you've seen, then you need to watch more movies.
I can say without dubout that Perfect Blue is the only film that made me feel fucking uncomfortable through the whole movie.
would you guys do a commentary on the movie KIDS (1992?)? i think it would have fit in well the this video here. Requiem for a Dream along with The Never Ending Story i thought were two very good choices. i remember that i saw the movie KIDS the reality and the concluding monologue scared me in that long lasting, irie way that you just can't escape like some of the other movies mentioned. Thanx!
I have no legs. I have no legs
yeah kids is crazy
the film was actually released in 1995
KIDS was my choice, too.
same here.
I'm a simple human being, I see Requiem for a Dream- i click
Anybody that grew up in the 1980s and saw Threads will know what fear is from something not portraying ghosts, monsters or serial killers.
Mysterious Skin should definitely be on here. Pedophilia, childhood sexual abuse, rape...fun times (sarcasm).
palegirlchic damn that movie is good
It is! Just very disturbing.
brilliant work of art though
mysterious skin ruined me
palegirlchic 100% should’ve made this list... watched this film not knowing anything or knowing what to expect. Finished it with a lot of raw emotion.
What about Monster House, that movie kind of scarred me when i was a kid.
Happiness. I needed a shower after watching that.
it is
Happiness is a fucked up masterpiece.
What the son of the child molester confesses to in the last scene, I'll never forget.
Two words.....Old Yeller.
I can’t watch that or Benji, Homeward Bound, The Fox and the Hound no no no and I’m 34
Oh my god... I completely forgot about that for literally years.
Jeni Fierce benji really hit me in the feels
Where the Red fern grows,Sounder,The Red pony, Charlotte's Web..What the hell were they trying to DO to us??
Lost highway. No film has ever made me feel so anxious and uncomfortable, especially the scene where Fred meets the mystery man, one of the scariest scenes ever
'The Killing Fields' and 'Apocalypse Now' are my top 2. Shit..... Made me mentally sick for a week.
Wow hadn't thought of Apocalypse Now good one! Technically a War movie, but it really is a psychological horror experience. It's meant to capture Paranoia for well over half of the film, most of it really.
Yes, but those are intended to be disturbing. The list above are movies for kids or topics that aren't supposed to be.
Really surprised Kids didn't make the list
Nightcrawler not in the list!
Watch Zodiac man sam Jake Gyllenhaal but a whole different reign of disturbing...plus RDJ gets insane in it so that's a cherry on top.
Agree. That movie always gets snubbed.
Requiem For A Dream had me crying towards the end, like when they showed how Sara ended up, I was just heartbroken.
I don't even want to watch requiem for a dream, it just looks too disturbing.
Me neither
I fucking loved Matilda
I know someone who, in his hippie days, used to go to midnight movies where you could smoke pot in the theater while watching cult movies. One I would add to your list is Pink Flamingos. While it does not have fantasy creatures or talking appliances, it has some creepy weird scenes. The worst, imho, was in the dead last moment as "Doggie in the Window" plays. I think new laws were passed in part because of this film, not joking. Movies Heavy Metal and Legend deserved honorable mentions, imho.
But Pink Flamingos is disgusting
OK brave little toaster was not disturbing
The never ending story was one of my fav movie growing up!!!
Great list, but I was sure "Traffic" would have made the list. That movie made me just as uncomfortable as "Requiem For A Dream"
Man Bites Dog; Happiness (Todd Solondz); Borgman (Alex van Warmerdam); anything by Yorgos Lanthimos.
And ah, anything by Roman Polanski - knowing what the guy did.
How the f is Gummo not on this list?
SameSoup gummo is a horror movie
I'VE McFALLEN lol no what ? I hope this comment meant to be sarcastic 😂 even though for some it is indeed 😂😂
I couldn't finish that one
Yeah, I was just thinking the same scrolling through the comments here. "Gummo" should be here.
Blicky got the stiffy uh
oh, we're not going to talk about the dark crystal. ]:
Requiem for a Dream really I would say is the most effective film of all time, I just feel absolutely dreadful by the end of it and never exactly plan on viewing it again. Bravo to the filmmakers
I kinda wanna see it...but dont.
Try:
- Dancer in the dark (2000)
- Girl Next door (2007)
- Cannibal Holocaust (1980)
- In a glass cage (1986)
- Come and see (1985)
- Salo or 120 days of sodom (1975)
This is a fantastic list. Well done.
Requiem for a Dream... Jesus what is wrong with Jared Letto
The mother in that movie was the saddest character!
Nothing is wrong with him, he's an excellent actor. It's crazy how convincing he was with the infected arm.
Its called acting
He’s a method actor and a damn good one at that
Tommy Cipriani I know, it was a traumatizing movie. It's one of those you show to your kids so they don't make drugs
"Johnny Got His Gun" shits on these for giving you the creeps, its a harrowing film.
andy7666 true true, did you read the book?
Metallica 'one'
Was anyone else scared by Fern Gully when they were young? For some reason, that terrified me as a kid. (The villain)
k-t bee totally forgot about this movie but it terrified me lol
the pollution’s song traumatized me
Tim Curry would be so pleased.
Same here, especially when it transforms at the end.
requiem for a dream is very sad
