What are some of the flicks out there that you can't watch with the lights off?
What are some of the movies that you can't eat when you watch em?
What are some of the films you can't watch alone?
I recently got this movie "I Spit On Your Grave" which was originally released in 1978 as "Day of the Woman". It's a very violent film about a group of low lives graphically attacking and assaulting a woman in the woods, and the gruesome revenge she takes against them. Since this is a topic about disturbing movies, I'm not recommending it if you haven't seen it, just so you know, but if you've already seen it, you know what I'm talking about. There are some twisted things going on in that flick, and it's not for the faint of heart, or the squeamish.
Another one I have to mention, is a little bit more well known: "Deliverance". I watched this movie the summer before we moved to where we live now, so it has a...special place in my memory. I was freaked out because the place we moved to, the surrounding mountains and lush wooded areas looked pretty much exactly like the scenery in the movie. Ugh...That one gave me the willies for a while...no pun intended...
To set the record straight, the people that I live around turned out to be nothing like the people in the movie...thank god...

For me, when someone says a movie really disturbed them, I kind of want to watch that movie to see what they are talking about..Maybe it is morbid curiousity, I don't know..I have heard of I Spit on Your Grave, and heard that it is extremely fucked up, and I would have rented it by now, if the only video store in my area that has a copy didn't require that you have to have a credit card before you join..

I can't think of a movie that actually really disturbed me, or at least not to the point where I can't actually watch it...The first time I saw the original Texas Chainsaw Massacre, at the part where that chick goes into the house and Leather Face grabs her, I was pretty creeped out, but not to the point of not being able to watch the rest of the movie..

the very 1st time i saw se7en i was all fucked up on some good weed(it had weird crystals on it). it got to the part where they were interviewing the guy that had the razor strap on thing. i damn near walked out because i was so freaked out, but i chalk that up to the smoke.

As always, great thread Joe!

JUST SO YALL KNOW, THERE ARE SPOILERS IN MY POST ABOUT THE MOVIES I SPEAK OF!!!

This day and age, nothing really bothers me anymore. I can sit and watch through just about anything that a film maker throws at me. I am the fucked up one in the room who is laughing as the young teenage flousey gets her intestines ripped out and strung all over the room. There was a time, long ago, before I became desenseatized, that I FREAKED out over films that disturbed me.

I can remember sitting on my kitchen floor, as a lad no older than eight years old. My mother had a television set on a cart in the kitchen, so she could watch TV, while she prepared our meals. We always ate late, because she would work until 7 or 8 in the evening. I remember sitting there and watching the original "Poltergeist" (1982 {Hooper}), and my mother said that she is going to turn it off because it is going to give me nightmares. I begged and pleaded, so she gave in. The part where Craig T. Nelson is in the unfinished swimming pool filled with water, mud, and skeletons was on. I began crying and screaming.."I don't want to die, I don't wan't to die!!" (LOL!) Well, that was the end of "Polterguist" for a few years.

Another funny story I can remember is when my friend Roy had a sleep over party. I attended, which was odd, because I hated Roy. But he was the kid who always did the cool shit, like make flame throwers out of spray paint cans, and make Molotov cocktails, so being the weirdo that I am, I stayed over his house, hoping to get into some trouble. He poped in the "Exorcist" and I was like, Hell yeah, mom would never let me watch this. We got about 1/2 hour into the film when I once agian broke down into tears. The end result, Roy's mother had to call my mother to come to pick my fat ass up. I was hugging my mother, tears still in my eyes on the ride home. Years later, Roy was expelled from school for bringing numbchucks and threatening to kick my ass with them...Incidentally, two years later, Roy was struck by a car when he was walking on the street late at night, and passed away. Weird how life is..Hugh?

I feel like writeing so I will contuniue my rant which is full of spelling and typographical sentance structure errors.

Now on to Joe and his movie. "I spit on your grave" . I can definatly see how this film can be very disturbing films. Roger Ebert has been quoted saying that this was the worst movie ever made. I like the film. Very disturbing indeed. Banned for 20 somthing years in Austrailia. Although revenge is acheived, that does not make it right what so ever. They accually made a sequel to this one.

Another film that toys with the woman revenge plot is "Last house on the left" , which was accually released 6 years earlier than "I spit on your grave". Wes Craven took this film to the MPAA, they labeled it with an "X" rating. Wanting an R for wider release, Craven went back and removed 10 minutes of footage. However, this still wasn't enough, and the film still got an "X" rating. Once again, Craven removed footage, this time 20 minutes. But it still wasn't enough. Finally, Craven put all of the original footage back in, got an authentic "RATED R" seal of approval from the film board from a friend of his, put it on the film, and released it. The film was banned for 30 years in the UK. Glad to see the assholes in the film. Got what was comming to them.

Some other disturbing films that I have are

"The Virgin Spring"
"Cannibal Holocaust" (This movie has gained the title of the most notorious movie of all-time, holding the world record for the movie banned in the most countries (in almost 60 countries). The animal slaughterings in the movie were real, which resulted in the movie's being banned in its native Italy. Deodato wanted a scene in which a pig was eaten alive by piranhas but he didn't have an underwater camera
"Ichi The Killer"
A truely sick film, but great at the same time, one of my favorites. Director 'Takashi Miîke' reveals on the US TokyoShock DVD release that the semen used in the close-up during the intro sequence, when the film's title raises out of a puddle of semen, is real. All I have to say is...WHAT THE FUCK!!!!!!! LOL!!
Gummo-about a small town, and the aftermath of a hurricane.
Kids-truely fucked up, made by the creator of Gummo.

The scene in the original "Assult on Precent 13" (which was 20 times better than Richet's 2005 verson) where the ice cream truck driver shoots the little girl in the head. When I first saw that, I never saw it comming.

There are alot more, but my fingers need a break. :blink:

man...i was afraid to have sex for like a week B) after seeing kids for the 1st time. and damn you intheend for mentioning gummo! i have prayed to cthullu and all the old ones to never have to read/see/hear that name again, but since they are fake gods that didn't help me now did it? that movie didn't disturb me as much as it made me sit there and say WTF?!?!?! as for poltergiest...the maggots man..the maggots..**shudder**. last but not least as for being a young one i did not have the privilege of watching excorist, but about the same age you were i saw an american werewolf in london. now at the time i didn't appreciate the dark humor as i do now, but for weeks after my "cool" aunt let me watch that i had nightmares about weird werewolf nazi soldiers coming to get me.

LOL!! Me too!!! After watching Gumo, I just sat there scratching my head thinking WTF was that all about!?! What the fuck did I just watch?

I can remember when I first watched AMIL, and I was freaked out too!

"Queen Elizabeth is a man! Prince Charles is a pervert! Winston Churchill was full of shit! Shakespeare's French! "

Gummo was weird as hell...Remember the two kids with the cowboy stuff on and the one with the rabbit ears on? "Smells like a big ol' pussy!" "Smells like a big ol' pile of bull shit!!" And these were like 7 year olds...lol...I was creeped out by the bathtub scene where the kid bathes in brown water, eats spaghettios and a candy bar, once drops the candy bar in the water, and continues to eat it...ugh...
I have an Exorcist story too though...Watched it on TV when I was like 4...Not too many years later, maybe when I was six or so, Mom and Dad decided to let me have the upstairs bedroom. Our house in Maryland was pretty close to a railroad track that had trains going by all hours of the night. On one particular night, I remember being awakened by the train shaking the foundation of the house, and thereby, my bed...I could only think of The Exorcist...I freaked out, and ran downstairs and didn't sleep a wink that night. LOL ah...memories...

gummo was disturbing. i hated prozac nation. um... exorcist freaked me out when i was a kid. anything with even fake animal abuse freaks me out. commercial's about shaking cows freak me out now. i must be loosing my grip or somethin :blink:

let me preface this by saying that was one of the funniest things i have ever heard...i actually lol'd =)




MAY CONTAIN SPOILERS!





kay, so anyway I just got cannibal holocaust but havent got to watch the whole thing yet, but the parts I did see...*shudders*

and that is coming from the person who NEVER EVER gets disgusted by any sort of violence no matter how cruel. It just doesnt bother me...but the part where the dude is...well...sort of fucking that girl with the wooden penis at the first...MY GOD! Something about brutalizing vaginas just really hurts my girl parts. The only other movie where i actually felt a characters pain like that was the Excorist (you know what scene)...ouch.

anywho...Pet Semetary...I cannot fucking watch that alone. & the scene where it shows her sister Zelda...holy fucking fuck! I was scared of that for years! To this day every time that part comes on I turn my head & plug my ears. creepy man, really creepy.

And make fun of me all you want, but i STILL cant watch the Blair Witch Project by myself.

Honorable Mentions

The Others
It
Candyman (fuck that! too scary)
The Shining
Silver Bullet
The Howling

Lessee...

The rape scene in the 1st part of Urotuskidoji IV: Inferno Road where Ken is tied up & being masturbated by a group of girls while being forced to watch his virgin love Yumi, get brutally raped by a dick-tentacled demon is hard for me to watch.

I also am physically put off by the real animal violence in Cannibal Holocaust.

Intellectually, Prince of Darkness scares the fuck out of me when I start thinking about the philosophical/theological aspects of the plot. Plus its presented so creepily. The final scene of that always gives me the booboojeebies....

"Faaaaaatherrrrr!"

I haven't seen any of those... I don't think I could watch the animal one though.

finally watched the rest of Cannibal Holocaust. only 6 animals were killed, but that was 6 too many for me. Some of them were cute too =(

The movie itself had some interesting ideas. The whole (pre-Blair Witch) movie in a movie recovered footage idea was well done, but the unnecessary animal cruelty puts me off from rewatching it too often. The simulated human violence is good for a larf tho.

oh man what about the couple having sex? it looked like a wrestling match...I've seen a lot of bad porn in my life but never anything as bad as that. I lol'd the whole time.
