IMHO, A Serbian Film and Human Centipede 2 have some of the most disturbing scenes I’ve ever seen. Realizing that they are made for shock value kind of make them laughable though.
SALO is often mentioned in lists of fucked up movies, but it’s really not much. There’s some poop eating, light rape and someone’s tongue is pulled/cut out. It might have been shocking back in the day.
Irreversible made me feel nauseous and had an unsettling feeling from start to end. (Made me vary about Climax, which kind of have a similar feel, but is only fucked up to a much smaller degree). That one for too long scene that just foes on forever makes it the most disturbing film I have ever watched.
Heriditary has some fucked up scenes too and truly scared me. (But Midsommar bearly made an impression on me. Bearly).
Requiem for a Dream made me feel bad about drugs.
Bone Tomahawk kind of seems like an average action/adventurish movie in a western setting until… stuff happens.
Also worth a mention are Martyrs, Ôdishon, The Woman, Inside, The Girl Next Door (not the comedy) and either versions of Funny Games.
May have forgotten some.
(I have no plans to watch any of the Terrifier movies).
Edit: Totally forgot The Heart is Deceitful Above All Things somehow. Man, that is one fucked up movie. “Play with me Daddy”.
Bone Tomahawk, heh, very few of us knew what we were getting into when we started watching. My partner went to bed and I just put something on. “Oh, look, a western. This should be nice and light”
I’d love to compare lists of (potentially) disturbing movies. Feel free to message me if you’d like.
Also the first Terrifier (although called something else I think?) was shitty (in my opinion) and I didn’t finish it. Haven’t tried the others.
Edit: Sorry everyone, as someone below pointed out, the above opinion is based on “all hallows eve” not Terrifier 1. My mistake. I’m gonna give both another try though.
It’s great, IF you really love that old, low-budget, late-80s horror. It’s a love-letter to classic slasher films, just like Kill Bill was a tribute to Hong Kong martial arts films and Japanese chanbara. If you don’t like the source material, you’re probably not going to like them.
I found Terrifier and its sequel to be pretty good for what it is. A violent modern take on the classic slasher movies. It’s schlocky, but that’s because slasher movies are a bit schlocky.
The actor does a great job hamming it up and making it all a bit more than a classic slasher, too, entertainment wise. If he tried to play it more serious scary clown style, it’d probably have faceplanted for me.
Honestly, I would skip straight to Terrifier 2. It’s a much more polished film with developed characters than Terrifier 1, and you’d only have missed details about a minor side character who was also in the first movie. If you like 2, you can go back and watch Terrifier 1 (and All Hallows Eve, even though that one hardly counts as a movie or a Terrifier movie).
I think I just watched (some or most of) all hallows eve. Not actually Terrifier 1. That’s where all my previous statements came from. Gonna have to edit those now.
Either way, I’ll give 1 a try because I do love shitty horror movies. Like the good shitty type. Thanks for clearing that up for me.
I’ve seen most of the movies mentioned here 🫠

Same here. I love a good western, so this caught me by surprise as I didn’t check the name of the movie beforehand.
I immediately recognized the name from the “most fucked up movies” lists that litter the web.

Good point. It was quite a while ago and didn’t really approach it from that angle. With all the sequels, I should try the first again.
It’s complete schlock. But it’s fun schlock.
I do like that. Also my original comment was based on “all hallows eve” which someone pointed out. My fault. I’m gonna give both another try though.

Yeah. I don’t think I gave it a good try. After your, and another’s comments. I’ll give it a fair try at some point soon.

I’ve kind of mellowed out for a while. I’m still into horror, but the truly disturbing stuff doesn’t just doesn’t speak to me any longer.
That’s fair. I’ve sort of done the opposite haha.
