I already watched a couple of those, and have watched worst as well, I think. I will probably finish watching the rest in the list one day. No issues with those I watched. I do know some people have difficulty watching violent / unusual scenes. So I guess it is possible some people will not be able to watch such things. *shrug*
No Salo, no Cannibal Holocaust, no A Serbian Film, no Adam Sandler films. I don’t know about you, but I don’t think I’ve managed to sit through an entire Sandler film in over two decades.
I saw Cannibal Holocaust for the first time last month got the blu ray in a Horror Pack box sub. I liked it but then again I am a full blown gore hound.
Agreed. Serbian Film has a good premise but falls into the gore for sake of it unfortunately. Salo is the most frightening film because it takes more than one watch to fully appreciate it - like Irreversible, it takes getting through the horrible to watch with a perspective where you can dissect. What makes Salo scary isnt the actions as much as one's own need to relate to a character or characters and in a film where 4 aristocrats are the only ones with whom we are allowed to relate - the scenes with them drunkenly speaking philosophy- and the darkness in all of us, we are shown a world where we know isnt one of fantasy. Given absolute lower over others, we know people are capable of doing such things.
William Phillips is that the film where there’s a scene where people are forced to eat pieces of shit. And some people are forced to wear wedding clothes?
@Paul Osc Slots Gambling Channel I really can't see what people see in the Serbian Film, I was so disappointed when I saw it. It's not even in the to 50 most disturbing movies. I was expecting so much from it and I nearly fell asleep watching it. It's not even in the same league as Martyrs (the French one of course, I won't even waste my time with the American remake).
There's no film I can't sit through. It's all paid actors doing a job. It's easy for me to keep it in context. It's the real life things that sadden me..
"The House That Jack Built" is about a serial killer. What did people expect? Matt Dillon is excellent and the film lives up to the subject matter. Read the label before you open the tin.
@@jclundy8534 they should have showed him suffering more in hell but if you put yourself in his shoes and is afraid of going to hell then it creeps me out so bad
Lars Von Trier's film, Antichrist, was FAR better than the caricature of a horror movie, The House That Jack Built. Antichrist was a work of art- every frame was a gorgeous piece of terror and ghastliness. It was emotionally draining. It was hard and uncomfortable to sit through. It was disturbing. It lingered for days. THTJB was comedic and over the top (in a bad way) in comparison to ANY serious horror film. At first I thought the movie had to be a joke... then I realized that LvT likely vomited out every thought in his head and smashed it all into this piece of junk.
Yeah, the cringe from that shit gave me stage three cancer. Will Smith didn't help either. Paying an A-list start, while not even having the biggest name in YT on it is pathetic.
*List of movies mentioned: 1. The Green Inferno 2. Martyrs 3. Irreversible 4. The Woman 5. Revenge 6. The House That Jack Built 7. Bite 8. The Wild Bunch*
Master The movie is called a serbian film, And its one of the most extreme movies ever made, Please do not watch it, You will remember every scene perfectly for years, Im the one that watched texas chainsaw massacre when i was 8 and damn i didnt dare to go outside, But a Serbian film is groose, I can tell u a little what happens, They rape women and beat them to death, They rape newborns, Rape children, Alot more insane things, Its hard to find the movie but please do not, You will be happy without it

Irreversible was a pretty good movie. It was messed up in that you were watching the events happening in reverse, but yeah it had some pretty harsh scenes...it was a gripping story--at least to me. Didn't think Monica Bellucci's acting would be so convincing!
I know there are countless gore hounds who revel in the brutal and grotesque, but I think there's an enormous difference between gross and scary. I for one watch horror films because I enjoy being scared, not because I'm hoping to puke up my dinner. While I've seen a couple of the movies on this list and I do have a degree of respect for what they aim to do, I'll never watch them again. No matter what Eli Roth or anyone else says, walking out of a movie and giving a movie a standing ovation are not synonymous; they're polar opposites. There are many outstanding horror films that deliver unbearable suspense and bone-chilling terror without resorting to gratuitous gore and I think that's a far more difficult and therefore greater achievement. When done well, graphic imagery and body horror have their place, but there is a thin line between creative violence as a plot device and plain old bad taste.
Ehh, I find that one more silly than anything. I don't really find a lot of the movies on this list that disturbing either, with the exception of Irreversible
Serbian Film was so much tamer than everyone hyped it up to be. Yeah it's disturbing, but not nearly to the level people claim it to be. I found it boring
Watched Martyrs once. It has stayed with me EVER SINCE. It literally HAUNTS ME. Especially after all that poor poor girls both suffering there's still no answer to the concept of life the main Evil lady is trying to find out through this poor remaining girl. Somehow that's even worse as well as horrific acts they commit. But the greatest films are ones you never forget ironically. Plus Requium For A Dream is another one, I mean HOLY SHIT that's totally horrific too can probably think others too but these first to mind at mo. And honestly people WANT horror and that's truly what all these directors DO DELIVER. So really how can you complain really
Agreed. Martyrs and requiem crawl inside your brain and torment you in a way that the likes of a Serbian film fail to. Theres more to those films than an outright intention to shock and horrify. Some films you watch, but certain ones you experience, martyrs and requiem are definitely the latter in my opinion...
Thank fuck someone mentioned it. I sat through Salo in an independent theatre in the 90s before authorities got word of it and it was promptly banned. Full house but by two thirds in there was only my friend and myself left and an old creepy guy in the front row.
Brandon Grant I hate that!! Been watching “Reign” on Netflix, and that’s one of my biggest pet peeves with the show. But I cannot stop watching it. Some of the over acting is so good.🤣🤣🤣
@@samalayr.n.kashyap1513 majority of gore clips and stories on the web include street justice or cartel punishments with most of the participants wearing flip flops due to the country of origin (brazil,mexico etc) so anyone who has spend some time researching these stories can make the coorelation... it was an inside joke :)
Step Hess the invasion of a village in Byelorussia by the germans. It shows the perspective of a teenager trying to fight against the germans and it shows the true horror of war. The director actually fought in that conflict against the germans thus showing his real life perspective. Its classified as a “war film” but it’s really a horror film.
@John W.B Someone said: "Tha scariest movie ever isn't a horror movie". The soundtrack, the vlose up shots of the horrified faces, the lighting and the fact it really happened is really scary and impressive to watch. Its the atmosphere and realism that makes it so uncomfortable. But you should really watch it, i actually watched it yesterday for the first time and you should watch it. It is on TH-cam eith english subtitles but it's eith private link. I could send you the link if you want.
@Outcast Phoenix, you are someone who actually GETS IT!!! I watch the first 20 minutes for the political stuff every day. Joy Behar is the most deranged of the deranged. She constantly says “I’m a comedian” because she is not funny and has to remind everyone. Ana Navarro is annoying AF. And of course you have your token republican who doesn’t vote republican and hates every extant Republican President. Everyone on the right and left should watch the view. Almost no one can watch it on a regular basis without acquiring a deep hatred for democrats (granted, very few democrats are anywhere near this bad, but what people don’t know may end up converting them anyway, lol!).
THAT is pure horror to try to watch. Four hideous creatures all making weird noises at the same time. What makes it so bad is the audience members do not even know their brains are melting.
@@daphnemathison7356 The Last Airbender... The only movie i wasn't able to sit through. I fell asleep in the first 30 minutes. If i ever want to die of boredom i start watching M. Night Shamala... shyamala... shamalamadingong... movies
The Green Inferno was the hardest movie to watch. Did anyone know that Eli Roth showed a native population a horror movie about cannibalism, and the natives thought it was a comedy? That's why they were so good at their job in the movie.
Yeah, he showed them Cannibal Holocaust. Green Inferno was barely hard to watch, it's a movie that's great to watch with your drunk friends because it's incredibly dumb and the practical/special effects are outstanding bad for a gore film.
Nice list with unique and different than usual list of unwatchable movie.. I'm already tired of same old lists with Serbian Film, Salo, Cannibal Holocaust, Human Centipede blah blah
Thanks for the tip. I found the original and downloaded it. I'll watch Cannibal Holocaust first then The Green Inferno and see for myself which is better.
Same. I haven’t seen the woman yet and the house that jack built now they are on my list. I’ve seen most of these on the list. But I get why this list instead of the norms. These are more mainstream movies and directors and actors.
In the "Green Inferno", the music started getting ominous when the cannibal savages tore that dude apart while he was still alive. Later, that same music started amping up when the chick had violent diarrhea in the bamboo cage. I quit watching it at that time, because the formulaic music was used for two different hings, leading us to believe that explosive-diarrhea is as awful as being cuting apart a living person.

I found "I spit on your grave" to be very disturbing.
There is potential that this list could of been much longer with other films that gained notoriety. - A Serbian Film - Salo - Naked Blood (mostly just the Auto-cannibalism scene (s)) - Tetsuo Series (for some) - Human Centipede 2 - Guinea Pig Series (Particularly 'Devil's Experiment' and 'Flowers of Flesh and Blood') - Freeze Me (and subsequently I Spit on your Grave) - Audition (for 1999 crowds, and if you aren't a fan of needles) Just to claim a few. In all fairness, we all have opinions on this.
Salo is clearly the most disturbing/disgusting film ever made, hell even the director of "irreversible" Gaspar Noé said he had a hard time watching it through the end and that it was pretty much impossible to create something more violent than it.
Martyrs, Bite, and Irreversible very much deserve to be on this list. Yeah Salo, Serbian, and August Underground are all sick but still.. the three mentioned were chilling.
@@martinomattuzzi7031 There is unfortunately. Which makes it hard to watch for different reasons. ASF is just the worst though. Total "can't unsee" type of thing.
I have walked out on movies in my horror festival days. The truly shitty ones like the bullshit Hollywood has been making for kiddies these days. The films that have been commented on around here are actually pretty entertaining.
just watched Green Inferno and Serbian Film today, and Salo, Martyrs, and Cannibal Holocaust yesterday. they were pretty brutal, but not to the point of turning any of them off. you shoulda put the August Underground series on here, or maybe The Green Elephant....still haven't decided to watch any of those yet LOL edit: I forgot about Poughkeepsie Tapes, that was kinda intense too
Poughkeepsie was rather hard to find, but glad I did...and as for August Underground, I'm not sure I'm up for those yet! I like graphic disturbing movies but they seem like a different level. Also worth mentioning: Philosophy of a Knife, Guinea Pig series, and Slaughtered Vomit Dolls. I've only seen Philosophy of a Knife from that list, and probably gonna keep it that way from what I've read.
@@mike7652 I've heard mixed reviews about Philosophy of a Knife, and being that it's like 4 hours long it makes me hesitant to watch it even if the subject matter is quite disturbing. Adam Chaplin is pretty good, it bills itself as being the goriest movie ever made, though it's kinda silly at parts. I swear Emmanuelle de Santi is a fan of Fist of the North Star, and unless it for taken down, you should be able to watch it on TH-cam.
@@nightmarefanatic1819 it's definitely one you either love or hate...it was two parts (when I watched it), so that kinda helped break it up a bit. I do recommend it, but as with most things it's all a matter of opinion and whatnot.
@@aresgodaware0369 lol it’s f*cked. That’s for sure. It’s so realistic. Mainly because of the absence of sound. There’s no music, there’s no excess sound. It’s as if you were standing right there, watching a man be hung upside down, naked, and bisected with an axe made of bone. Yea, it’s messed up. But it’s hot like a “Hostel” type scene. It’s understood that that is the type of brutality some of the Natives used on their captors, and it’s not like “distasteful”? Lol not sure if thats the best word. It’s not violence for the sake of violence and it’s not gore for the sake of gore, if you get what I mean. But it is a tough watch. The scenes depict icing violence in “Bone Tomahawk”, are seriously some of the most realistic and well done scenes I’ve ever seen in a movie. There’s no extra sound. It’s all as if it happened right in front of you.
@@aresgodaware0369 ooof. That’s a good one too lol. I’d say they’re very different psychologically in their depictions of brutality. One (Martyrs) is very unnatural. It’s vulnerable young girls being brutalized, and experiencing prolonged torture for basically no reason. Whereas “Bone Tomahawk” is more “natural”. Meaning, it was a part of life back then. There isn’t really prolonged torture. In the scene I was referring to of the bisected man, he gets scalped right before they hang him upside down, but that’s as far as his torture goes, and I wouldn’t call it “prolonged” as he is killed immediately after, so he didn’t sit around experiencing that pain. Yes it’s two humans, one killing another, but when watching the movie, there’s this feeling that the Natives or “Troglodytes” as they’re referred to in the movie, aren’t of this world. They don’t speak any language, they don’t dress like anyone else, they use a kind of whistle that they insert into their necks at an early age to communicate. So there’s a feeling while watching the movie that they’re almost alien-like, and not people. So the violence committed against the other people in the film, doesn’t feel like it’s being committed in a sadistic way, but almost a way of someone hunting food for their survival. If you get what I’m saying. To me, Martyr’s is FAR harder to watch. But I will say, “Bone Tomahawk” has to be one of my favorite Western’s of all time. I actually just saw “Old Henry”, and that was pretty awesome too. The twist is badass.
About "Irreversible" don't you think using infra-sound is actually pretty cheap of them? A good movie should evoke emotions by being good, not by using tricks to mess with brain chemistry. By the same note, imagine going to a comedy and before watching it have the cinema staff pass you joints to make you high. It's bullshit.
There was may more "tricks" in irreversible than just infra sounds. The whole story is backwarts, so the movie starts with the credits scrolling from top to bottom. Then the whole movie is shot without visible cuts. So the tracking shots cause massive motion sickness, too
But that's like saying no horror film should ever have music. Half the experience is built upon eerie music. That's how most scenes are set for atmosphere and mood.
Jennifer Puckett but it isn’t well composed music, it is subaudible sound frequencies designed to cause ill effects in people. it’s kind of cheating. it’s like if I punched you in the stomach, only i did it with sounds
@@MauditMaz it's even tame when compared to that one too! Theres like a handful of gore scenes and they arent even that graphic (except for when they chop up the first dude, but even that was tame compared to the violence shown in Ferox, I mean they had a woman hanging from hooks in her breasts)
TBH I think these people fainting, puking, walking out, etc are studio plants. It's Marketing 101. As a huge fan of horror/psychological thriller/blood and gore-fest films, I KNOW what to expect. And I WANT to be grossed out and have the shit scared out of me. But I've walked out of exactly one movie in my life. It was the animated musical "Rio" - I walked out because the animation was bad, the songs weren't memorable, and the jokes weren't funny. THAT for me is far more offensive than gallons of fake blood, cannibals, chopped up limbs and even played out horror tropes like jump scares and fake endings that set up the sequel. But that's just me, calling it like it see it. Again, there's NothingHereToSeeMoveOn.
Trust me i know. I've watched it 5 times. I find most of the film easy to sit through but those last 30mins always get to me the same amount every damn time.
Was a Serbian Film ever screened at a festival or cinema though? If not, then it may be excluded due to not being presented to a large audience in one spot, perhaps?
THIS IS A GREAT LIST THUS A GREAT VIDEO. I have seen some of these already and are definietly disturbing and more than compatible with this list. I cant wait to go watch the others. CHEERS !
I really enjoyed The House That Jack Built....not sure if I should be worried about that....Lars Von Trier is a fantastic filmmaker, you just have to be ready for it when you watch his films!
For anyone looking for a disturbing foreign movie which challenges to viewer to answer a range of philosophical questions, I recommend 'The Fifth Seal' (1976). One of my most defining cinematic experiences to date!
You had me until Wild Bunch. This isn't an evaluation of historical films, but of modern films that modern audiences struggle to sit through. The Wild Bunch is indeed a classic. By today's standards however, it is NOT overly violent. There's no gore, just blood hits from bullets. There's plenty of action, which is no different than any other heavy action movie in the last several decades. Why not add Sly's and Arnold's 80's and 90's action flicks to the list if The Wild Bunch is added, it's the same thing. The rest of the movies in the list appear to be fitting. You went absolute goofball with the last entry though.
@@zihenglao3591 No, the title does not say that people could not have sat through these films. It isn't talking about about the past. It's referencing the present. It is saying that the modern audience will not be able to sit through the movie. It deviated from its intent by throwing in an old movie with and old, past audience. There are lots of movies that released that audiences were in shock over. That's something entirely different than what movies will shock you, the general audience of today, in the present.
I was going to say the same thing. I watched the Wild Bunch when I was young and it was prety tame compared to movies now. I would say that original Predator is more gory and harder to sit through than the Wild Bunch but even that is tame compared to how things are now
it actually kind of bugs me when they truck in extras for movies. I remember watching a behind the scenes thing about some old movie set in mexico and found out most of the "locals" were italians, mostly as teamsters. I've seen the same thing with alot of movies with Native Americans, they often just use anyone tan. If you're filming on site it makes alot more sense to get some locals since it guarantees authenticity, they often like helping out in other areas, and what seems like a low wage to an LA film crew is a fantastic wage for someone living in a place like the Amazon.
When they essentially have little talent, horror directors revert to gore as a last resort to try and create controversy in the hopes it'll create free publicity. Can you imagine the masters of Horror like Hitchcock, DePalma, Craven, Carpenter or Cronenberg having to stoop this low?
same goes for torture porn style movies. Ever since Saw and Hostel got big that's become the de-facto for lazy horror. Cant think of a way to scare people? just have a scene with a guy getting his pecker caught in a belt sander. Need to horrify the audience? have a woman getting her toes eaten by rabid weasels.
The House That Jack Built was a brilliant movie, nothing disturbing about it. It was artistic and very well done, there wasn't much gore in it to turns one stomach or make them leave the cinema.
Seriously, I watched it somewhat recently, and I was thinking the same. Good movie, but I don't recall it having anything so shocking, graphic, or gross that I'd expect anyone to just up and walk out on it. It's just not that kind of film. The vibe or overall gist of it might be kinda hardcore, but what it presents the viewer on screen? Meh, not really.
Bone Tomahawk was wonderful, but, one scene aside, I don't think it belongs in the same category as something like Martyrs. Admittedly, THAT scene came from out of nowhere and literally made me sit up in my seat, hah.
@DR Evil if you couldn't sit through Martyrs then I'm thinking the "bad films" you've seen are on the same level as Cannibal Holocaust and the like. You definitely won't be able to watch A Serbian Film, Angels Melancholy and The House That Jack Built. Stick to Friday The 13th and the like.
@DR Evil but you can watch children being sniped, children being raped and females being raped and beaten then beheaded and fucked after they're dead? 🤔 I say you haven't seen any of the films I mentioned. Martyrs is lightweight compared to the 3 I listed. I suspect you're either flat out LYING or you've read a detailed description of the most brutal scenes in the movies you CLAIM to have seen. Sit down poser.
@DR Evil not to mention real animal deaths, but you can't tolerate a woman being tortured. You can watch men being tortured I take it. See how stupid you are?
I had forgotten that I had watched Bite. That either means that it's so unsettling that my mind decided not to keep any record of it or (much more probably) that, in spite of all the gross visuals, it's actually a pretty mediocre flick. Unlike David Cronenberg's The Fly, which is an absolute classic based on a similar concept.
I've seen The House Jack Built. I think it's a great film, but sometimes it's blatant, some things are predictable, but I think it's a very, very dark sense of humor and it can also be taken sarcastically.
@@BLOODYTHECLOWN666 Children should generally not appear in horror films, especially not as victims. Children are not allowed to watch or play in the films. if someone would ask me about it. :)
Irreversible made me a pacifist. What an intensely emotional film. On top of that the script was like 4 pages, and Noe wrote it last minute because the stars backed out of the original movie that they had agreed to do (which later became Love 3d) and he didn't want to lose the opportunity to work with them or his production support.
The only movies I ever saw people walk out of in disgust: Marina De Van's "Dans ma peau" and Takashi Miike's "Audition". Dans ma peau was the most painful movie to watch, I totally understood the people walking out.
Yeah, it's great. French horror/thriller movies are pretty great. Have you seen Sheitan and Haute Tension? Also, Calvaire is amazing, they speak French in it, but it's actually a Belgian movie. Well, in my eyes it's still French, lol. All these 3 movies are highly recommended.
I do not enjoy realistic horror movies. I love horror but prefer the fantastical side. The Jason Voorhees, Freddy. I don’t enjoy seeing people brutally murdered in a way that is quite real. There’s enough of that in the real world. I enjoy being entertained but not disgusted. However, that being said, I could not take my eyes off Martyrs. I don’t know why but I was mesmerised. Absolutely spellbound. My horror buddy who doesn’t mind a bit more realistic movies, was horrified by my being unable to turn away. He thought it was just a brutal snuff film, basically. It is brutal and definitely out of my comfort zone but I couldn’t take my eyes off of it.
"Bone Tomahawk" should have been on here. It's a western that turns into a horror gore fest like an hour into the movie for no reason. It caught me off guard. It almost seems like the first half of the movie was directed by the Cohen brothers and the second half was directed by Eli Roth.
I worked in a video store at the time Bone Tomahawk was released on DVD and BluRay, and after the hearing the 1st complaint about it, I spent a lot of time explaining to older western fans that it was probably not what they wanted. On a side note, a few year previous, I also had to explain to many parents that Pan's Labyrinth was not in any way related to Jim Henson's Labyrinth.
Every 3rd comment: a sErBiAn fiLM 🙄 Yes we’ve all heard of it. You’re not special because you can name drop it, it’s one of the most well-known disturb-horror movies ever made. (And half the people who say it’s horrifying have never actually seen it, it’s boring and slow and aged poorly).
Dam you watched that movie more than once? I watched it when it first came out. I still get nightmares. Even if you payed me I wouldn't watch it again.
@@funkyfiss i couldn't rewatch it, but mainly because once you get look past the few horrifying scenes it's actually a really boring movie. I look at horror like a good action movie: once the explosions stop you have to have _something_ to interest the audience otherwise all you have is a Michael Bay film.
Confessions (japanese one), The Wailing, I Saw the Devil, Hereditary, Filth, Eden Lake, Sympathy for Mr Vengeance, Lady Vengeance, Requiem for a Dream, Green Room, Three..Extremes, Raw, Audition, The Loved Ones, Haute Tension, Dream Home (chinese one), Frontiers, Borderland. Some of my recommendations of movies that disturbed me in one way or the other (and yes i like asian movies lol)
@The Shadow Mortician Thanks and thank you for your recommendations I'll definitely check it out, personally I've watched a ton of Korean cinema but not so much Chinese /Japanese ones yet, but I'm a big fan of the work of Kar-Wai-Wong, the atmosphere of his movies especially Fallen Angels is incredible
I guess looking at The Wild Bunch from the perspective of the late '60s it might make sense on this list, but it still seems like an outlier. It is violent, but the violence isn't gross or grotesque. It doesn't have the torture or horror of the other movies on the list. There is a purpose to its violence. Watching it I can see how Sam Penkinpaugh was probably influenced by his experience as a Marine on Iwo Jima. There is also a sadness to the movie, which if anything can make it tough to watch.
I feel like going to film festivals for movies like this with some friends is a good way to weed out the knobs... Honestly, how can someone be so weak minded that they can't sit through a movie?
Every movie on here is either so over the top that its downright comical (Eli Roth actually does this on purpose, he's bffs with Quentin Tenentino) or boring af.. like A Serbian film is more of a joke than anything else, but this list did mention Irreversible... That movie is no joke, if you can watch the Monica Bellucci rape scene without moving, I don't want to ever know you.
Yeah, "Irreversible" was a great film. The scene where the guy's face was smashed by the fire extinguisher was more bothersome to me. Especially since it was right near the beginning, that was the only part that made me cringe
You don't want to know me, then. It didn't move me at all. Dude just dominated her. So fucking what? Rape really isn't that big a deal. It's one of women's top fantasies.
A Serbian Film, Martyrs, Cannibal Holocaust, Antichrist Those are by far the sickest/most disturbing movies that I've come across thus far. And I've seen roughly 1300 movies (and yes, I actually reviewed all of them too but unfortunately I'm too lazy to transcribe my written reviews)
At this point, Come and See just shat on every "disturbing" film out there. I mean, seriously, watching the film about five times - it leaves a permanent scar on your psyche.
When the girl walks towards the boy, her thighs covered in blood, her face all beaten up and a whistle in her mouth, I swear that was probably the scariest things I've seen. The way she looked at him, her eyes...
Martyrs was the only time I ever felt empathy for a character in a horror/gore flick. A great film that's often slept on. Also, >Antichrist >Mysogynistic It's quite obviously misandristic if anything.
The thing that kills “Revenge” for me, is the fact that they, for some reason, decided to put high power scopes on shotguns. I will never understand that.
I found it to be an interesting movie and as dark as I’d ever want to see. Also it was a drama more than a horror film. I will watch a drama or suspense but I have never liked the whole horror movie concept. It’s just Gore for the sake of gore. it’s about making you feel uncomfortable and so many of the people in these movies act so stupid. But as I was watching the girl next door I kept thinking grab the cop smashed out the basement window and have him look in and see the girl. I say this because this movie was set in the time period that I was near that age and that’s what I would have done to save a friend.
The most disturbing movie I've seen in a long while is "The Evil Within". Very much real world horror movie, that makes truly horrifying possibilities in life seem way too close for comfort.

Cannibal Holocaust, A Serbian Film, Old Boy (the original, not the remake), and Men Behind the Sun are movies that no human being should be able to watch, ever.

A Serbian Film was the sickest thing I ever saw. Its a movie you want to unwatch. Salo was cold blooded too. These are not in their league.
Agreed. Serbian Film has a good premise but falls into the gore for sake of it unfortunately. Salo is the most frightening film because it takes more than one watch to fully appreciate it - like Irreversible, it takes getting through the horrible to watch with a perspective where you can dissect. What makes Salo scary isnt the actions as much as one's own need to relate to a character or characters and in a film where 4 aristocrats are the only ones with whom we are allowed to relate - the scenes with them drunkenly speaking philosophy- and the darkness in all of us, we are shown a world where we know isnt one of fantasy. Given absolute lower over others, we know people are capable of doing such things.
These movies are nothing if you visit best gore regularly
William Phillips is that the film where there’s a scene where people are forced to eat pieces of shit. And some people are forced to wear wedding clothes?
@@Fro5tyRevenge thats Salò
@Paul Osc Slots Gambling Channel I really can't see what people see in the Serbian Film, I was so disappointed when I saw it. It's not even in the to 50 most disturbing movies. I was expecting so much from it and I nearly fell asleep watching it. It's not even in the same league as Martyrs (the French one of course, I won't even waste my time with the American remake).
There's no film I can't sit through. It's all paid actors doing a job. It's easy for me to keep it in context.
It's the real life things that sadden me..

The house that jack built was one of the classiest serial killer films I have ever scene. Highly underrated.
Beautiful film! 💟
I watched that just because it had Hitler in it
Try Bone Tomahawk. A different western that flew under the radar. Great cast, amazing movie.
Classy? Weird and boring is more like it.
Lars Von Trier's film, Antichrist, was FAR better than the caricature of a horror movie, The House That Jack Built.
Antichrist was a work of art- every frame was a gorgeous piece of terror and ghastliness. It was emotionally draining. It was hard and uncomfortable to sit through. It was disturbing. It lingered for days.
THTJB was comedic and over the top (in a bad way) in comparison to ANY serious horror film. At first I thought the movie had to be a joke... then I realized that LvT likely vomited out every thought in his head and smashed it all into this piece of junk.
Disturbing? Pfft, nothing compared to... I don't know if i dare to say it. Ok, here we go.....

@@NATmusic27 to give context human centipede 2 makes the entire saw series look like a kids show
I know there are countless gore hounds who revel in the brutal and grotesque, but I think there's an enormous difference between gross and scary. I for one watch horror films because I enjoy being scared, not because I'm hoping to puke up my dinner. While I've seen a couple of the movies on this list and I do have a degree of respect for what they aim to do, I'll never watch them again. No matter what Eli Roth or anyone else says, walking out of a movie and giving a movie a standing ovation are not synonymous; they're polar opposites. There are many outstanding horror films that deliver unbearable suspense and bone-chilling terror without resorting to gratuitous gore and I think that's a far more difficult and therefore greater achievement. When done well, graphic imagery and body horror have their place, but there is a thin line between creative violence as a plot device and plain old bad taste.
Anybody think it's stupid when horror movies just show gore instead of having a good story?
Yes the story is important. But I like the Wrong Turn Movies
it depends on what you're looking for, it's not stupid it's just made to reach a different audience
@@NickEdan yeah just finished up the 2nd part and just searched upon this

@MadCarrot exactly, original martyrs is way more disturbing than Srpski film.
Serbian Film was so much tamer than everyone hyped it up to be. Yeah it's disturbing, but not nearly to the level people claim it to be. I found it boring

You're a mad man. You need to be put in an asylum
It didn't count because nobody is sitting.
Couldn't even think about watching it. Absolutely terrifying
My son watched that damn movie over and over again! It was torture!
Watched Martyrs once. It has stayed with me EVER SINCE. It literally HAUNTS ME. Especially after all that poor poor girls both suffering there's still no answer to the concept of life the main Evil lady is trying to find out through this poor remaining girl. Somehow that's even worse as well as horrific acts they commit. But the greatest films are ones you never forget ironically. Plus Requium For A Dream is another one, I mean HOLY SHIT that's totally horrific too can probably think others too but these first to mind at mo. And honestly people WANT horror and that's truly what all these directors DO DELIVER. So really how can you complain really
Agreed. Martyrs and requiem crawl inside your brain and torment you in a way that the likes of a Serbian film fail to. Theres more to those films than an outright intention to shock and horrify. Some films you watch, but certain ones you experience, martyrs and requiem are definitely the latter in my opinion...
I'm glad someone mentioned Requiem for a Dream. That movies is amazing but left me feeling emotionally shattered for over a year.
"But the greatest films are ones you never forget ironically." What is "ironic" about that? Honestly.....I do not understand what you mean.

“Come and see” is a true horror film
Come and see is the real deal with its absolute realism. Truly disturbing.
Dangerous Freedom what’s that movie about?
Step Hess the invasion of a village in Byelorussia by the germans. It shows the perspective of a teenager trying to fight against the germans and it shows the true horror of war. The director actually fought in that conflict against the germans thus showing his real life perspective. Its classified as a “war film” but it’s really a horror film.
John W.B reality is what’s horrific about it.
@John W.B Someone said: "Tha scariest movie ever isn't a horror movie". The soundtrack, the vlose up shots of the horrified faces, the lighting and the fact it really happened is really scary and impressive to watch. Its the atmosphere and realism that makes it so uncomfortable. But you should really watch it, i actually watched it yesterday for the first time and you should watch it.

And of course you have your token republican who doesn’t vote republican and hates every extant Republican President. Everyone on the right and left should watch the view. Almost no one can watch it on a regular basis without acquiring a deep hatred for democrats (granted, very few democrats are anywhere near this bad, but what people don’t know may end up converting them anyway, lol!).
THAT is pure horror to try to watch. Four hideous creatures all making weird noises at the same time. What makes it so bad is the audience members do not even know their brains are melting.

The Green Inferno was the hardest movie to watch. Did anyone know that Eli Roth showed a native population a horror movie about cannibalism, and the natives thought it was a comedy? That's why they were so good at their job in the movie.
Yeah, he showed them Cannibal Holocaust. Green Inferno was barely hard to watch, it's a movie that's great to watch with your drunk friends because it's incredibly dumb and the practical/special effects are outstanding bad for a gore film.

Watch Salo and I'll pretend to care
Edgy.
In the "Green Inferno", the music started getting ominous when the cannibal savages tore that dude apart while he was still alive. Later, that same music started amping up when the chick had violent diarrhea in the bamboo cage. I quit watching it at that time, because the formulaic music was used for two different hings, leading us to believe that explosive-diarrhea is as awful as being cuting apart a living person.
I found "I spit on your grave" to be very disturbing.
But at the same they make enjoy her revenge.
I never saw the original .. but I saw the remake ... and her getting revenge was great ... they got what was coming too them. Sorry not sorry lol
Wanna know a real disturbing and shocking? Go watch some terrorist killing people slowly like cutting their neck with unsharpened knife.
The original was best & very disturbing whereas the remake was more for the gore factor.
@KAWAII The first was good, second not as good so didn't watch 3rd. Eigo wa chigau desu.
There is potential that this list could of been much longer with other films that gained notoriety.
- A Serbian Film
- Salo
- Naked Blood (mostly just the Auto-cannibalism scene (s))
- Tetsuo Series (for some)
- Human Centipede 2
- Guinea Pig Series (Particularly 'Devil's Experiment' and 'Flowers of Flesh and Blood')
- Freeze Me (and subsequently I Spit on your Grave)
- Audition (for 1999 crowds, and if you aren't a fan of needles)
Just to claim a few. In all fairness, we all have opinions on this.
Salo is clearly the most disturbing/disgusting film ever made, hell even the director of "irreversible" Gaspar Noé said he had a hard time watching it through the end and that it was pretty much impossible to create something more violent than it.
Wasn't Human Centipede 2 kind of a comedy?

Finally someone how mentions August underground! I still have to see the second one but the first one totally should have made the list!
Poughkeepsie Tapes is pretty hard to find though. They may not have mentioned it because it never got an official release.
Poughkeepsie was rather hard to find, but glad I did...and as for August Underground, I'm not sure I'm up for those yet! I like graphic disturbing movies but they seem like a different level. Also worth mentioning: Philosophy of a Knife, Guinea Pig series, and Slaughtered Vomit Dolls.

@@mike7652 I've heard mixed reviews about Philosophy of a Knife, and being that it's like 4 hours long it makes me hesitant to watch it even if the subject matter is quite disturbing.
Adam Chaplin is pretty good, it bills itself as being the goriest movie ever made, though it's kinda silly at parts. I swear Emmanuelle de Santi is a fan of Fist of the North Star, and unless it for taken down, you should be able to watch it on TH-cam.

“Bone Tomahawk” should’ve made this list! Friggin love that movie, and DAMNNN is it BRUTAL! Some of the best death scenes I’ve ever seen in a movie.
I'm still afraid to watch that Scene
You think bone hawk is worst than martyrs?
@@aresgodaware0369 lol it’s f*cked. That’s for sure. It’s so realistic. Mainly because of the absence of sound. There’s no music, there’s no excess sound. It’s as if you were standing right there, watching a man be hung upside down, naked, and bisected with an axe made of bone. Yea, it’s messed up. But it’s hot like a “Hostel” type scene. It’s understood that that is the type of brutality some of the Natives used on their captors, and it’s not like “distasteful”? Lol not sure if thats the best word. It’s not violence for the sake of violence and it’s not gore for the sake of gore, if you get what I mean. But it is a tough watch. The scenes depict icing violence in “Bone Tomahawk”, are seriously some of the most realistic and well done scenes I’ve ever seen in a movie. There’s no extra sound. It’s all as if it happened right in front of you.
@@aresgodaware0369 ooof. That’s a good one too lol. I’d say they’re very different psychologically in their depictions of brutality. One (Martyrs) is very unnatural. It’s vulnerable young girls being brutalized, and experiencing prolonged torture for basically no reason. Whereas “Bone Tomahawk” is more “natural”. Meaning, it was a part of life back then. There isn’t really prolonged torture. In the scene I was referring to of the bisected man, he gets scalped right before they hang him upside down, but that’s as far as his torture goes, and I wouldn’t call it “prolonged” as he is killed immediately after, so he didn’t sit around experiencing that pain. Yes it’s two humans, one killing another, but when watching the movie, there’s this feeling that the Natives or “Troglodytes” as they’re referred to in the movie, aren’t of this world. They don’t speak any language, they don’t dress like anyone else, they use a kind of whistle that they insert into their necks at an early age to communicate. So there’s a feeling while watching the movie that they’re almost alien-like, and not people. So the violence committed against the other people in the film, doesn’t feel like it’s being committed in a sadistic way, but almost a way of someone hunting food for their survival. If you get what I’m saying. To me, Martyr’s is FAR harder to watch. But I will say, “Bone Tomahawk” has to be one of my favorite Western’s of all time. I actually just saw
“Old Henry”, and that was pretty awesome too. The twist is badass.
@@onemaddad3823 wow that was detailed.
I'll check old henry out
"What Dreams May Come" (1998) is the most frightening movie I've ever seen.
About "Irreversible" don't you think using infra-sound is actually pretty cheap of them? A good movie should evoke emotions by being good, not by using tricks to mess with brain chemistry. By the same note, imagine going to a comedy and before watching it have the cinema staff pass you joints to make you high. It's bullshit.
if they did hand you joints you should be grateful
There was may more "tricks" in irreversible than just infra sounds. The whole story is backwarts, so the movie starts with the credits scrolling from top to bottom. Then the whole movie is shot without visible cuts. So the tracking shots cause massive motion sickness, too
I know Treize, I've watched the movie :)
But that's like saying no horror film should ever have music. Half the experience is built upon eerie music. That's how most scenes are set for atmosphere and mood.
Jennifer Puckett but it isn’t well composed music, it is subaudible sound frequencies designed to cause ill effects in people. it’s kind of cheating. it’s like if I punched you in the stomach, only i did it with sounds

The Green Inferno (good movie), is a wildly tame remake of Cannibal Holocaust.
not really tbh, i think that it's more similar to cannibal ferox. cannibal holocaust has a whole different message
@@MauditMaz what is the message in green inferno
@@MauditMaz it's even tame when compared to that one too! Theres like a handful of gore scenes and they arent even that graphic (except for when they chop up the first dude, but even that was tame compared to the violence shown in Ferox, I mean they had a woman hanging from hooks in her breasts)
@@MauditMaz It's very similar to Cannibal Ferox. The Green Inferno's story structure is almost too close to it at times.
That’s what I said
TBH I think these people fainting, puking, walking out, etc are studio plants. It's Marketing 101. As a huge fan of horror/psychological thriller/blood and gore-fest films, I KNOW what to expect. And I WANT to be grossed out and have the shit scared out of me. But I've walked out of exactly one movie in my life. It was the animated musical "Rio" - I walked out because the animation was bad, the songs weren't memorable, and the jokes weren't funny. THAT for me is far more offensive than gallons of fake blood, cannibals, chopped up limbs and even played out horror tropes like jump scares and fake endings that set up the sequel. But that's just me, calling it like it see it. Again, there's NothingHereToSeeMoveOn.

Was a Serbian Film ever screened at a festival or cinema though? If not, then it may be excluded due to not being presented to a large audience in one spot, perhaps?
Yeah...I'm pretty left and even I was like "should this be allowed on screen?"

One of my most defining cinematic experiences to date!

You had me until Wild Bunch. This isn't an evaluation of historical films, but of modern films that modern audiences struggle to sit through. The Wild Bunch is indeed a classic. By today's standards however, it is NOT overly violent. There's no gore, just blood hits from bullets. There's plenty of action, which is no different than any other heavy action movie in the last several decades. Why not add Sly's and Arnold's 80's and 90's action flicks to the list if The Wild Bunch is added, it's the same thing.
The rest of the movies in the list appear to be fitting. You went absolute goofball with the last entry though.
But people during the time couldn't sit through the movie which is what exactly the title says; so I don't see your point at all.
@@zihenglao3591 No, the title does not say that people could not have sat through these films. It isn't talking about about the past. It's referencing the present. It is saying that the modern audience will not be able to sit through the movie.
It deviated from its intent by throwing in an old movie with and old, past audience. There are lots of movies that released that audiences were in shock over. That's something entirely different than what movies will shock you, the general audience of today, in the present.
I was going to say the same thing. I watched the Wild Bunch when I was young and it was prety tame compared to movies now. I would say that original Predator is more gory and harder to sit through than the Wild Bunch but even that is tame compared to how things are now
i dont know i think it’s pretty dope when directors hire native people that are supposed to be playing natives🤷♀️
it actually kind of bugs me when they truck in extras for movies. I remember watching a behind the scenes thing about some old movie set in mexico and found out most of the "locals" were italians, mostly as teamsters. I've seen the same thing with alot of movies with Native Americans, they often just use anyone tan. If you're filming on site it makes alot more sense to get some locals since it guarantees authenticity, they often like helping out in other areas, and what seems like a low wage to an LA film crew is a fantastic wage for someone living in a place like the Amazon.
Yeah, I totally agree!
Most accusations of 'cultural appropriation' are nonsense.
When they essentially have little talent, horror directors revert to gore as a last resort to try and create controversy in the hopes it'll create free publicity. Can you imagine the masters of Horror like Hitchcock, DePalma, Craven, Carpenter or Cronenberg having to stoop this low?
same goes for torture porn style movies. Ever since Saw and Hostel got big that's become the de-facto for lazy horror. Cant think of a way to scare people? just have a scene with a guy getting his pecker caught in a belt sander. Need to horrify the audience? have a woman getting her toes eaten by rabid weasels.
The House That Jack Built was a brilliant movie, nothing disturbing about it. It was artistic and very well done, there wasn't much gore in it to turns one stomach or make them leave the cinema.
Seriously, I watched it somewhat recently, and I was thinking the same. Good movie, but I don't recall it having anything so shocking, graphic, or gross that I'd expect anyone to just up and walk out on it. It's just not that kind of film. The vibe or overall gist of it might be kinda hardcore, but what it presents the viewer on screen? Meh, not really.
Bone Tomahawk is very messed up
Yep, but it's a great film. Richard Jenkins is (as always) terrific.
Bone Tomahawk was wonderful, but, one scene aside, I don't think it belongs in the same category as something like Martyrs. Admittedly, THAT scene came from out of nowhere and literally made me sit up in my seat, hah.
@DR Evil if you couldn't sit through Martyrs then I'm thinking the "bad films" you've seen are on the same level as Cannibal Holocaust and the like. You definitely won't be able to watch A Serbian Film, Angels Melancholy and The House That Jack Built. Stick to Friday The 13th and the like.
@DR Evil but you can watch children being sniped, children being raped and females being raped and beaten then beheaded and fucked after they're dead? 🤔
I say you haven't seen any of the films I mentioned. Martyrs is lightweight compared to the 3 I listed. I suspect you're either flat out LYING or you've read a detailed description of the most brutal scenes in the movies you CLAIM to have seen.
Sit down poser.
@DR Evil not to mention real animal deaths, but you can't tolerate a woman being tortured. You can watch men being tortured I take it. See how stupid you are?
I had forgotten that I had watched Bite. That either means that it's so unsettling that my mind decided not to keep any record of it or (much more probably) that, in spite of all the gross visuals, it's actually a pretty mediocre flick. Unlike David Cronenberg's The Fly, which is an absolute classic based on a similar concept.
I've seen The House Jack Built. I think it's a great film, but sometimes it's blatant, some things are predictable, but I think it's a very, very dark sense of humor and it can also be taken sarcastically.
People probably walked out when he was posing the dead kid for pictures,he killed and was taking pictures with him
@@BLOODYTHECLOWN666 Children should generally not appear in horror films, especially not as victims. Children are not allowed to watch or play in the films. if someone would ask me about it. :)
Irreversible made me a pacifist. What an intensely emotional film. On top of that the script was like 4 pages, and Noe wrote it last minute because the stars backed out of the original movie that they had agreed to do (which later became Love 3d) and he didn't want to lose the opportunity to work with them or his production support.
I think, I'd go full Lorena Bobbitt on rapists, if I survived that.
The only movies I ever saw people walk out of in disgust: Marina De Van's "Dans ma peau" and Takashi Miike's "Audition". Dans ma peau was the most painful movie to watch, I totally understood the people walking out.
The original martyrs is one of my all time favourite psyc/horror films!
the creature who attacks lucie gave me nightmares
@@keep_walking_on_grass I was fine until the end with THE scene, cringed so hard! 😂
Yeah, it's great. French horror/thriller movies are pretty great. Have you seen Sheitan and Haute Tension? Also, Calvaire is amazing, they speak French in it, but it's actually a Belgian movie. Well, in my eyes it's still French, lol. All these 3 movies are highly recommended.
Agreed
Have you by chance seen A Serbian Film or Salo?
Those two are dreadful, depraved, and disturbing beyond measure.
I do not enjoy realistic horror movies. I love horror but prefer the fantastical side. The Jason Voorhees, Freddy. I don’t enjoy seeing people brutally murdered in a way that is quite real. There’s enough of that in the real world. I enjoy being entertained but not disgusted. However, that being said, I could not take my eyes off Martyrs. I don’t know why but I was mesmerised. Absolutely spellbound. My horror buddy who doesn’t mind a bit more realistic movies, was horrified by my being unable to turn away. He thought it was just a brutal snuff film, basically. It is brutal and definitely out of my comfort zone but I couldn’t take my eyes off of it.
"Bone Tomahawk" should have been on here. It's a western that turns into a horror gore fest like an hour into the movie for no reason. It caught me off guard. It almost seems like the first half of the movie was directed by the Cohen brothers and the second half was directed by Eli Roth.
I like that movie too, I had to watch it twice because I thought I missed something the first time
I worked in a video store at the time Bone Tomahawk was released on DVD and BluRay, and after the hearing the 1st complaint about it, I spent a lot of time explaining to older western fans that it was probably not what they wanted.
On a side note, a few year previous, I also had to explain to many parents that Pan's Labyrinth was not in any way related to Jim Henson's Labyrinth.
@J G hahaaa, it's one of those movies that does that
The green inferno I could sit through
Rawr5649 it really was and I feel like that’s what they were going for
I didn’t sit through it cause it was boring, horribly acted, and cheesy.
@Rawr5649 Eli Roths films are kown for beeing cheesy
lame movie
Terrible movie
Every 3rd comment: a sErBiAn fiLM 🙄
Yes we’ve all heard of it. You’re not special because you can name drop it, it’s one of the most well-known disturb-horror movies ever made. (And half the people who say it’s horrifying have never actually seen it, it’s boring and slow and aged poorly).
Dam you watched that movie more than once? I watched it when it first came out. I still get nightmares. Even if you payed me I wouldn't watch it again.
Its not a horror movie.....Its a thriller and the end of the movie really disturbs....
@@funkyfiss i couldn't rewatch it, but mainly because once you get look past the few horrifying scenes it's actually a really boring movie. I look at horror like a good action movie: once the explosions stop you have to have _something_ to interest the audience otherwise all you have is a Michael Bay film.
@@arthas640 My Serbian friend told me that it was a representation of what the government does to the people. And that is disturbing in itself.
For me Cats is the most unsettling movie
I was scared to death
What all things I would have ate
By not buying that 20 dollar ticket
I refuse to watch Cats. Even the preview was hard to watch
Confessions (japanese one), The Wailing, I Saw the Devil, Hereditary, Filth, Eden Lake, Sympathy for Mr Vengeance, Lady Vengeance, Requiem for a Dream, Green Room, Three..Extremes, Raw, Audition, The Loved Ones, Haute Tension, Dream Home (chinese one), Frontiers, Borderland. Some of my recommendations of movies that disturbed me in one way or the other (and yes i like asian movies lol)
@The Shadow Mortician Thanks and thank you for your recommendations I'll definitely check it out, personally I've watched a ton of Korean cinema but not so much Chinese /Japanese ones yet, but I'm a big fan of the work of Kar-Wai-Wong, the atmosphere of his movies especially Fallen Angels is incredible
Krusti159 G you need to check out Tetsuo the Iron Man. It is one strange Japanese movie. Twisted to the extreme. The less I say about it the better.
Fear Factor FTW .. lol
@ Krusti 159 G: Then check out " I saw the Devil" 2010, if you haven't already
@@datbtrue Its actually the second movie in my list xD
I couldn't make it through Transfrormers: The Last Knight
I guess looking at The Wild Bunch from the perspective of the late '60s it might make sense on this list, but it still seems like an outlier. It is violent, but the violence isn't gross or grotesque. It doesn't have the torture or horror of the other movies on the list. There is a purpose to its violence. Watching it I can see how Sam Penkinpaugh was probably influenced by his experience as a Marine on Iwo Jima. There is also a sadness to the movie, which if anything can make it tough to watch.
add in..violence for violence sake..natural born killers
I feel like going to film festivals for movies like this with some friends is a good way to weed out the knobs... Honestly, how can someone be so weak minded that they can't sit through a movie?
Every movie on here is either so over the top that its downright comical (Eli Roth actually does this on purpose, he's bffs with Quentin Tenentino) or boring af.. like A Serbian film is more of a joke than anything else, but this list did mention Irreversible... That movie is no joke, if you can watch the Monica Bellucci rape scene without moving, I don't want to ever know you.
Yeah, "Irreversible" was a great film. The scene where the guy's face was smashed by the fire extinguisher was more bothersome to me. Especially since it was right near the beginning, that was the only part that made me cringe
Does violently masturbating count as moving?
@@acrosstheacross677 lol top kek
My coc was moving
You don't want to know me, then. It didn't move me at all. Dude just dominated her. So fucking what? Rape really isn't that big a deal. It's one of women's top fantasies.
shocked no one here has mentioned "Mother"
Martyrs is one sick film
Mats Thømt i thought it was really unique and never seen before , and had a good story and amazing makeup affects !
Masterpiece
One of my favourite films ☺️
I'm in full agreement with you there
Mats Thømt Bored me a bit
I can’t see how the Human Centipede didn’t make this list...I felt changed as a human afterI watched that movie...
fax
A Serbian Film, Martyrs, Cannibal Holocaust, Antichrist
Those are by far the sickest/most disturbing movies that I've come across thus far.
And I've seen roughly 1300 movies (and yes, I actually reviewed all of them too but unfortunately I'm too lazy to transcribe my written reviews)
AntonioKowatsch guess you havent seen any of the August Underground movies then. go watch the 2nd one
@@tHeXeKuter OK, I'll make sure to watch all of them. Thanks for the recommendation, BTW.
I'll get back at you after I've watched them.
AntonioKowatsch hell yeah, ill be here. lmk
yeah and Idi i smotri (1985)
tHeXeKuter I think the August underground franchise is just boring and more of gore than disturbing
Any film with amy schumer. I can't sit through those, they make me feel sick
The fact that Man Bites Dog has A Serbian Film didn’t make the cut makes me take this list waaaay less seriously
At this point, Come and See just shat on every "disturbing" film out there. I mean, seriously, watching the film about five times - it leaves a permanent scar on your psyche.
I just watched The Platform on Netflix. Decent horror with deep meaning
When the girl walks towards the boy, her thighs covered in blood, her face all beaten up and a whistle in her mouth, I swear that was probably the scariest things I've seen. The way she looked at him, her eyes...
Ya but you're just a little kid. What do you know....
120 Days of Sodom?
Cannibal Holocaust?
August Underground?
yawn
Sans: Never heard of them.
Martyrs was the only time I ever felt empathy for a character in a horror/gore flick. A great film that's often slept on.
Also,
>Antichrist
>Mysogynistic
It's quite obviously misandristic if anything.
“Misandristic” isn’t a word
Best line in Green Inferno " oh my God! They've got the munchies!"
The thing that kills “Revenge” for me, is the fact that they, for some reason, decided to put high power scopes on shotguns. I will never understand that.
I feel like The girl next door should be on this list.
Tammy Brown I never watched it but the trailer gave me the creeps and my stomach turned because I believe it’s inspired by true events :|
That's probably the most disturbing movie I've ever seen and I've watched a lot of dark cinema...
YEA....thats pretty bad
I found it to be an interesting movie and as dark as I’d ever want to see. Also it was a drama more than a horror film. I will watch a drama or suspense but I have never liked the whole horror movie concept. It’s just Gore for the sake of gore. it’s about making you feel uncomfortable and so many of the people in these movies act so stupid.
But as I was watching the girl next door I kept thinking grab the cop smashed out the basement window and have him look in and see the girl. I say this because this movie was set in the time period that I was near that age and that’s what I would have done to save a friend.
And to think it's based off true events...
The most disturbing movie I've seen in a long while is "The Evil Within". Very much real world horror movie, that makes truly horrifying possibilities in life seem way too close for comfort.
Someone hasn't seen Bone Tomahawk 😏
Although to be fair the movie is excellent
Bone Tomahawk was excellent
Bone Tomahawk had one disturbing scene in it, the rest of that movie was a grind imo
@@peniparker7968 two scenes at least. Stripped naked and cut in half plus chest cut open and burning cantine put in. (also the legless mothers are half of one)
yeah, another great film.
Omg the saw in the cave... Wow I forgot about that movie.. it was really good but super fucked.
Maybe one day there will be a movie director who will be horrified watching his own movie. That, I am going to watch.
I just watched “The House that Jack Built” earlier today, awesome movie! A must see for serial killer fans
awful movie
Lee 89 I’m interested in why you didn’t like it, you have any other serial killer flicks to recommend?
What is it available to watch on? Is it on Netflix or Prime?
B D I rented it on prime
кэннй thank you!
Should have been Jack Ketchum's The Girl Next Door instead of The Woman. That was so much more disturbing, in my opinion.
Way more disturbing
Wasn’t that a true story?
@@LaFlor718 yup
Yes, very disturbing as was Bastard out of Carolina. Wish I could un watch and at least 1 of them was based on a true story
@@emmapreston1027 Bastard Out of Carolina was the debut novel of Dorothy Allison. The 1992 book, which is semi-autobiographical in nature, is set in Allison's hometown of Greenville, South Carolina in the 1950s.
from wikipedia, so don't know if it's true
Cannibal Holocaust, A Serbian Film, Old Boy (the original, not the remake), and Men Behind the Sun are movies that no human being should be able to watch, ever.
labyrinthgirl17 please. Not even
so im weird for loving every session of old boy lol?
Oldboy is awesome!
I sat through, green inferno twice, every version of "I spit on your grave", and all three Human Centipede movies.......challenge accepted.
Oldboy is a masterpiece
I keeping hearing about all these people needing an ambulance after watching these films/screenings.. I wonder if thats really true or just PR..
it can be true. My mom can't watch any horror movies or even thrillers. She gets terrified by the scenes and almost burst into tears.
Search TH-cam for, "Cultural impact of The Exorcist", see for yourself.
*chances are you wont make it to the end*
Hold my psychiatric drugs
lmao !!
@Marcus _ in comparison to films like Salo and A Serbian Film, this list is dreadfully tame. This is mainly because the two films are not only disturbing, but are terribly depraved.
