Most disturbing movie you have seen?

Requiem for a Dream - I have a particular distaste for electroshock therapy so I guess that elevates the movie, but it starts off bad and just a downward spiral of horrible consequences and the happiest ending is an emotionally wrecked Wayans brother having his arm amputated. Heroin, not even once.
 
The Counsellor

First half - Michael Fassbender talking to his friends all the things that could go wrong of you get on the wrong side of a cartel.

Second half - All of those things happening.
 
Salo was pretty bad.

It's hard to even say movies are disturbing for me because of all the real horrors I regularly view online.

Serbian Film

I was never too keen on gory/horror flicks but ever since I saw this one I barely watch anything in that genre. Movies being art is fine and all but this crap just took it way to far.
 
Anyone seen August Underground Mordum?
I had a mate and I told him I got a real snuff film, he didnt believe me so came over to check it out. I told him a story that it was leaked video from a murder trial.
I put it on and about 5 mins in he gets up and says he is leaving. Dude walked out to his car and drove home.

The acting in those movies is terrible.
 
Idk why but the first time I saw Joker it messed me up mentally. I couldn't process it until I had thought about it for 18 hours or so and let the scenes run through my head for a while

It's extremely disturbing in that there's literally nothing at all right in his life. Nothing at all is going his way in the film until he kills. And from there on, in his own insanity, he is free in a way. Probably the most emotionally disturbing film I've seen

The Exorcism of Emily Rose was kind of terrifying. I still can't etch out that contorted image of Emily on the ground I think it was, in the middle of the night with her bunk mate. That face was fucking terrifying. The entire film had me psyched out tbh, and I even watched it in the evening with friends. There was still some sunlight out by the time we had finished watching. But the film had penetrated my mind-state, felt very uneasy after watching that one. That's why I can't even watch Exorcism films. I legitimately fear watching the very first Exorcism
 
I wouldnt say this was disturbing in a personal i cant sleep sense but i did spend a couple days thinking about this movie after watching it. That doesnt happen very often and i cant recall any other recent movie sticking with me for so long

 
A Serbian Film
Antichrist
Irreversible
The Nut Job

Watch any of these movies on a really high dose of edible weed to increase the discomfort. Cathartic.
 
A Serbian Film is where I learned my lesson not to read a plot synopsis on Wikipedia before watching a movie. Has far less impact when you know what's coming.
 
I saw a lot of shock/grotesque films, but Requiem for a Dream was the only one that stuck with me as an ultra-depressing miserable time. I first saw it when I was young enough that I didn't understand why people would pay to watch a movie that just made you feel like absolute shit by the end. I can't say I really understand it now either, but man that movie is just dreary as fuck.

If you count just single videos, there are probably some things I've seen that top it though. For as "popular" and "mainstream" as it got, I still haven't made it through the entirety of 2 girls 1 cup.

Yeah I remember my key worker in the hostel I lived in recommended this (yeah don't know what he was thinking lol), brutal film but also a well put together film from what I remember, don't think I could personally ever recommend anyone watch it though ha, especially not crazy people living in an adolescent homeless hostel.

The Fly would be high on my list. The slow transformation into a fly is absolutely disgusting but the birth scene tops everything.
 
I believe the film was called Dead Girl. Basically a couple of teens find a zombie girl and proceed to fuck it for days.
Splice was another one.
 
Going to see Irreversible in a hot theatre packed with people was like a nightmare. The drawn out scene when they're squeezing through that claustrophobic nightclub with the constant droning music, the it ends with that guy getting funned by a fire extinguisherrrr holy shiiitt
But it's reallygood too.
 
A lot of the default answers already posted, but I'll go to bat for Martyrs because it's just so relentlessly bleak. A Serbian Film has its moments (like that scene) but it's so over-the-top ridiculous that it's hard to take it seriously.

Same kinda goes for the "movies" that exist purely to push boundaries like Guinea Pig or August Underground, it's hard to be disturbed when they're basically just glorified tech demos.

Oh, Cannibal Holocaust deserves a nod for the real animal killings.
 
at the end of human centipede 2, a pregnant woman escapes from the 12 person ass to mouth "human centipede", which moments before was being literally fucked by the fat little madman who assembled the human centipede by crudely stapling them all together, and as she is getting into the car to escape him she gives birth to her child whom ends up under the gas pedal, and in a rush of fear or fight or flight or whatever she says fuck it and stomps on said gas pedal, crushing her newborn babies skull and killing it instantly. and they show everything pretty explicitly.

uuhhhhh yeah, id say thats about the most fucked up movie i can think of.

8MM. It sticks with you without beating you over the head trying to disturb you.

Hard to believe the man who directed Batman & Robin also directed it.
