    @kimcalica- i don't know if it will scar you, but if your experience is like mine you'll wonder, "What the hell?!" I mean it's provoking, shocking, disturbing at some points, yet there is something powerful, beautiful and haunting about it. Just what that is.. I am still trying to figure out.

    that's how i felt about antichrist and nekromantic.. shockingly enough.. i was able to analyze them and come up with relevance. i may have been way off but hell, what are art films for but to create our own ideas about what they are and boast about how we "get it" lmao

    Probably because it's not far fetched, at all. Probably happens more often than I'd like to think about.

    Even just seeing the poster/Dvd cover gives me nightmares.

    This. That movie completely disturbed me. Also, any movie that has violent, unconsenting sex against a woman. The Last House on the Left disturbs me.

    Salo, Serbian Film, Cannibal Halocaust

    Oh! From the reactions on this thread I am now adding these to my que!


    careful.. if i were you, i'd check out the reviews on imdb.. just in case.. a serbin film isn't just a horror movie.. it haunts people.. it's a pretty horrifying thing to put yourself through.. it's what i did.. and i'm glad i did..

    Well....for Cannibal Halocaust, the director was hauled into court, bc he was accused of making a snuff flim, and there is ACTUAL real animal torture/death.
    Salo....well, I don't even know how to describe that, it's effed up, and just makes you go "Da *kitten*????"
    And Serbian Film, it's torture porn and the ending, oh LAWD the ending!

    Jesus. Just wikied "A Serbian Film" and read a quick synopsis. Yea, not sure if I'm going there.No wonder it's not on Netfilx! Was not the serbian film I was thinking of. May still watch at some point though ..it's like a train wreak, I might not be able to turn away

    Yes, Exorcist also for me! I actually was a Catholic Jesuit Priest candidate back when I was 19 but exorcisms wasn't in my future. :)

    For me there were two:

    The Hand that Rocks the Cradle-i have asthma and when the mum died as a result of an asthma attack well that was it!!!
    The Fly-when he vomited on his food and transformed into a fly-revolting.
    Have not watched any type of film remotely like Horror etc anymore!! No thanks!

    The Hills Have Eyes. I HATE that friggin movie. I cant even watch the 1st 20min of it, its disgusting....and im not so eaitly disgusted, but when u have a bunch of deformed freaks terrorizing a stranded family in the freakin dessert, middle of no where being raped, baby stealing, cross burning, killing etc..it was just too much for me.

    also, my brother forced me to watch Friday the13th when he was baby sitting me...i was 7 i think. afterwards he told me that jason was chained to the bottom of our lake out at camp. i still get scared of whats under me when im out past my head! EEEK!

    For me it was Lord of the Flies. I'll never forget hearing Simon screaming as the kids were stabbing him to death and the solemn choir boy music that played as he floated out to sea and sunk. I was in high school, and I had to come home after seeing that. My dad didn't understand, which just made it worse.

    i loved lord of the flies though... really touches on some real issues with society and the way people think.. they just make it so simple using young boys..

    a serbian film can't be just summed up to torture porn.. there is a specific scene with a Pregnant woman and her child.... well.. that makes it something all in it's own category.. and i can't imagine watching something like that..

    Well, no, it's not JUST torture porn, but there's a crap ton of that in there. Yes, the baby scene is someting else. The mom's expression during that scene is so messed up. Basically everything you could think of is in that movie and some extra stuff just cuz

    I don't know if this has been said or not, but Arachnophobia was one of the main ones. I'm still deathly afraid of spiders, I actually once nearly jumped out of a moving vehicle to get away from a spider lol (stupid I know haha).

    Also Nightmare on Elm Street. I was convinced for years that Freddy Kreuger lived the fire place for some reason :laugh:

    lol.. man they just don't make them like "the fly" anymore.. they use CG and all those new special effects.. if you ask me, things were scarier when you were like "oh that's so gross.. what is that? i can't tell what that is? is it puke? puss? blood? ??????"

    gosh so many many of these disturbing films have unconsenting sex against a woman.. it's what makes most of these films truly disturbing and terrifying.

    A Clockwork Orange Stanely Kubrick is one of my favorite directors, but I was 14 when I first saw this and haven't been brave enough to try again.

    The Good Son The ending shocked me.

    Trilogy of Terror when I was a kid. But Audition (1999) Japanese Horror freaked me out. Pretty messed up movie. Love the Japanese Horror Movies!!

    i'm hearing this one a lot (audition) and for good reason.. a vomit eating pet man with no arms and legs can stay with you for awhile!!

    Well lets not forget if your not paying close attention the first hour or so is like a bad romance moive. That scene with the accupuncture needles is great though
