      Since you tend to watch a lot of gruesome / unwatchable horror movies, I have a fun pallet cleanser for you that I never see mentioned anywhere.
      It's called "I Had a Bloody Good Time at House Harker" (2016). This is a low budget, comedy/horror movie. It's a fun, and surprisingly heartwarming, vampire hunter movie you might like. If you need a break from the intense horror 🧛🏻‍♀️
      Love the channel. Thanks for sharing!

    Come and See could definitely fit in there. It's not a horror film by any means but the realistic depiction of war crimes and the fact that you know that these things actually happened takes it to a new level of disturbing.

      Here's one that made me fear for the future of humanity: "Mystery Skin", directed by Gregg Araki and starring Joseph Gordon-Levitt. It's about the long-term effects that childhood se#$al abuse has on two boys. As they reach late adolescence, one of the boys is surviving by resorting to male prostitution. There is no let-up from the trauma and sad situations. While Gordon-Levitt is amazing as always, the movie is super depressing.

    Lilja 4-Ever by Lucas Moodysson could've fit this list. It's an ultra-depressing drama about an abandoned teenage girl living in the former Soviet Union, pushed into prostitution and other humiliations. And when things finally start to look better for her it's just the beginning of an even worse downward spiral without any hope in sight.
    Nuclear-holocaust drama Threads would also fit.

    I watched "The Strange Thing About the Johnsons" a few days ago and it had me wondering...
    Is it possible a thing like this actually happen in real life? How much of a narcissistic behavior the abuser had? When and how did it start? But what gets me really mad is knowing that there are people out there covering this kind of shit up, because they're scared, because they're weak...

It has subtle implications and commentary that are disturbing enough, followed up by an extreme, highly realistic, unforgettable scene. It’s groundedness in reality is exactly why I found it so disturbing. (If you’re going to watch it please look up trigger warnings if that’s something you need!)

I’ve watched it a few times because (weirdly) I find it kind of beautiful (given the subject matter) but the coming together of the two boys stories and that end scene just makes me bawl but also gives me a bit of hope for them. Some of the SA scenes make me feel furious and sick to my stomach though.

    Emma, I was astounded and happy that you lead off with Compliance. First time I've had someone consider this a hard psychological drama that crawls under your skin. Strict work structures with no recourse between levels or to speak for the lower (and mostly younger) workers may not move this fast in going from level of abuse to another, but this movie still haunts me no matter how many years ago I saw it. It's an important film, more so than ever before in US, as political leanings interrupt life as we knew it and make the landscape worse.
