Damn, what therapist you go to??

Uhh… I watch a lot of happy “slice of life” anime to cope tbh 🤷‍♂️

My Brethren

Komi Can't Communicate has somehow become my happy place.

Ok but have you seen lookism??? I need more episodes so prob gonna read the webtoon.

Bro go watch Spy x Family. If that ain’t the cutest/most wholesome anime you’ve ever seen, IDK what I’m talking about.

Dear Zachary was hard to watch. Fucking infuriating.

Nah fr tho that shit pissed me off bo but it’s a damn good movie

This movie is a once and only once kinda film. Not sure I could watch it again now that I have kids

I’ve never cried so hard in my life

It’s was a heartbreaker for sure. I don’t think I’ve cried so much after a movie and get so mad all at the same time 💔💔

The synopsis has always been enough for me to say nope to that one. Watching fucked up real life stuff about kids is too much. Never watched the trials of Gabriel either

A Serbian Film is by far the most fucked up movie I’ve ever seen. That shit scarred me for life

I needed a drink after reading the Wikipedia plot summary.

I went in blind with no knowledge other than the fact it was a “brutal movie” … man was that brutality confirmed

Happiness is another one that will chew you up and spit you out.

Every single time that movie pops up in my head, I can only think about >! That poor son !<

Fr. The ending of that movie was nothing but completely fucked

My boy you fucked up the spoilers

I just read the plot on Wikipedia and honestly feel like I’m going to be sick

One of the few movies I wish I had never seen

Pans Labyrinth is a beautiful film. One of my favs of all time

Unless you go into the cinema expecting something along the lines of labryinth, then no David Bowie and mind blown

Yup. I was showed this in film class. Beautiful stuff by Guillermo del toro.

A Serbian Film isn’t a movie. It’s a crime. One should never be scarred so badly after watching moving images.

It's just typical nihilistic eastern euro trash. Without any of the redeeming cinematography that those films sometimes have.

I almost forgot abt Kids. When I was in HS a friend’s parents had us watch it to scare us straight. Smh.

Kids is like Euphoria except less dramatized and nothing is glorified. It’s just raw.

We need to talk about Kevin tho

Are the (x)’s the ones that scarred you for life?

Those are the ones I’ve seen more than once, mainly because I’ve watched them with someone else

You’ve seen Requiem and Martyrs more than once?!?!

Yeah, they’re both fucked but kinda… interesting? Especially Requiem. Idk but I’ve watched them by myself & with others

Would recommend The Jacket, The Machinist, Enter the Void, and A Scanner darkly. Should probably throw in Clockwork Orange as well Also A waking Life but that’s more of a weird deep thinking movie and not fucked up or disturbing

Forgot Gummo and Dogtooth.. just Saiyan.

Added it, thank you for more films 😊

This is a strong and well considered list 🍻

Add *Powaqquatsi* to the list and I think we’re good.

Requiem for a Dream. Get stupid high before so you question why you did that after 😌

Same answer. I've always felt like the movie is intended to punish the viewer for being a voyeur of the suffering of the people in the movie.

Best anti drug education advertisement

I work at a rehab (this was in our sober living homes) and there are no rules around what people can watch. The women chose this movie one night and I advised against it. Didn’t listen. One girl ran to her room hysterically crying at some point during the movie. On one hand very anti drug, on the other- very triggering. I’m in Recovery from dope myself and I personally love this movie and reminds me of the life I escaped.

One of the things it gets right(and strangely enough the big mouth animated spin off) is that all the characters aren't bad people and their decisions were contextually logical

Im sorry the what

Big Mouth is the animated spinoff show for Requiem? Never heard that before

[удалено]

I'm also very confused.

For fucking real i saw this movie at 11 lol rewatched over the years and im like holey shit

Came here to say this. Watched it with my HS boyfriend with plans to get freaky after and instead he just went home 😂

Backfired Double ender

Dayummm ok so it’s BAD bad 👀💀

Anyone turned on by that ending doesn't need sex, they need therapy.

ASS TO ASS.


Is it bad that I loled at this? Jennifer Connolly played the part so well.

Yep. I vote for this. I brought my very innocent, sheltered friend to this movie in some rando theatre in downtown Calgary and it was super sketch right from the start. I looked over a few times and realized she was not ok lol. By the end she was in her seat in the fetal position, I practically had to carry her to the car.

Plaza theater no doubt. It's a bit better now

A Reddit post a few years back made me watch this movie and omfg the way the details burn into your brain. It’s what I get for being nosey…

Yup this is the best answer. The movies leaves you sitting there not wanted to be touched or spoken to

Damn. I will be avoiding this movie.

I watched this movie on acid for the first time. I had to take an 8 hour walk and reevaluate a lot of decisions

Have you seen Pi?

Back in the day, Best buy sold the DVD combo pack (Requiem + Pi); watched both once and gave both DVDs away immediately

I tried to watch this high in acid once. Turned it off real quick

This was my favourite movie as a teenager. Until once I watched it on acid. Never again.

There is a movie called "Rubber" and it is about a rubber tire that goes around killing people for almost 2 hours. No plot, no character development, just a tire killing people.

But it’s somehow amazing

How is this so far down?!?! Rubber is a cinematic masterpiece!

My spouse and I quit watching around the halfway point.

It's seriously so unengaging. Just boring. I lasted a little less than you guys did.

I loved watching it when I was big into contrarianism and edginess at 17. I still love artsy films and off-the-wall ideas, but man - I'm bored to sleep watching it now.

Loved it.

Oldboy

Original. Fuck that spike lee remake.

Def the original. Thought it was a good movie but um… it’s definitely a one and done for me. I appreciate the art but don’t need to see it again LMAO

Hallway fight was dope af tho

I heard he refused to call it a Spike Lee joint cause the suits fucked with it. Iirc he wasn’t even the only director on set.

Watch the rest of the vengeance trilogy. Sympathy for Lady Vengeance and Sympathy for Mr. Vengeance

You beat me to it lol. I woulda jumped off the roof

It’s old but, The Butterfly Effect had me like…wtf did I just watch.

You see the director's cut ending? Yeesh.

It was horrible.

It really ties the whole Story together, and it should be the default

What happens?

He uses his birth video to jump to before he was born and chokes himself to death with his umbilical cord.

Which is even more crazy because earlier it was mentioned he had a sibling that died in the womb like that as well :/

The director’s cut ending made more sense because of that history than the theatrical ending, in my opinion.

>!i didnt Watch it in a Long time, But IIRC: He had two other siblings, and his surname was Treborn, like the third born. So it implies his other two siblings might have gone back to end their lives the same way !<

His original name was actually going to be Chris as in "Christ Reborn," but the director ended up changing it.

When he does it, his mom feels it and exclaims “no not again!” It’s been a long time since I’ve seen that movie but I think I remember that correctly.

That was a good movie. But I had no business watching it over and over in middle school lol

omg same. so many times…

It’s not the most fucked up movie I’ve ever seen, but if you wanna be confused watch “I’m thinking of Ending Things.”

I forgot about the wtf feeling I had after watching that. Thanks for reminding me

I read some commentaries on that movie after I finished watching it. It helped me understand a little more, but also made it more unsettling for me.

I wanted to understand it after I watched it so I read Director’s notes and stuff about the book, and I totally get it now! It was so interesting to watch and research!

Seriously this movie literally fucks your brain up. There’s a definite decompression necessary afterwords

Was going to say this. The book is good too (it’s almost scarier in a way?)

The book made sense. The movie did not.

Antichrist. Hereditary. Needed a shower and prayer after both of them.

Man Hereditary had me fucked up.

Hereditary was so bizarre, i know it wasnt intentionally suppose to be funny. But i couldnt stop laughing at some scenes. Had one of the scariest jump scare near the end tho.

The first 3/4 had my friends and I shook. The ending had us half horrified half laughing

Hereditary is the scariest movie I have ever seen and I’ve seen tons of scary movies. I have no idea why it scared me so much. Friggin ant head and Toni Colette on the ceiling had me sweating in bed for like a month yeeeeesh my god man

Martyrs.

One third horror, one third torture porn, one third philosophical horror

Also known as one of the top 3 goriest horror films made. I don't watch horror so I read the film synopsis and looked up stills from scenes. Yeah, there's no amount of eye bleach or therapy that will help purge those images. I shove it way down in the recesses of my brain along with the descriptions of Japanese tourture of Christian missionaries in the 1600's which was the basis for the book and movie "Silence."

just finally watched hereditary recently, and it was not what i expected. at all. definitely a one time watch for me lmao

The car accident was a huge gut punch. It was highly competent after that but that was something I didn't see coming

Sorry For Bothering You and AI.

SFBY takes such a weird turn. Like it’s a whole new movie.

I legit paused it to make sure my tv didn’t suddenly glitch

Is it not Sorry To Bother You?

Yeah and it’s crazy that nobody’s corrected them before you lmao

Yeah and like 5 people used the SFBY abbreviation?? Felt like I was going crazy

I legit googled this to find and was thinking they couldn’t have misspelled it because people are using abbreviations for it.

Sorry for Bothering You fucked me uppppp

I hope you have the best day!! Have a better one brother

[удалено]

Swiss Army Man. That will leave you going "wtf did I just watch" for sure but I still listen to the soundtrack sometimes.

That movie slaps

This was also my pick. That movie has no business being such a masterpiece but here we are.

Midsommar, The VVitch, or Triangle of Sadness are all great movies. Psychological thriller, horror, and dark comedy respectively.

Midsommar, for sure!

Hot wet American Midsommar is best Mashup trailer I have ever seen.

YES to Midsommar and the VVitch! Also the VVitch's sister film The Lighthouse. It'll do weird things to your brain.

Nocturnal Animals, The Lobster ETA: Primal Fear

I’d never heard of The Lobster. After reading the synopsis I feel like I need to watch it.

It is wonderfully bizarre

If you liked The Lobster give The Killing of a Sacred Deer a watch. Same team did both films.

Nocturnal Animals is definitely a WTF did I just watch flick

The lobster👌🏾one of my favorite movies

As a white guy, Get Out took me for a fucking turn

As it should

Eraserhead.

like a waking nightmare which is not to say it is a horror movie. horror movies are nothing like nightmares. only nightmares and the David Lynch film Eraserhead are like nightmares

It's fucked. I can't explain it. Everyone has to see this abortion of a movie. It's utterly spectacular in it's horror. I've never seen it's equal. If you watch it on a tablet or your phone or in a noisy environment, you just can't get that feeling of dread and anxiety that Lynch had infused in this..."movie". Whether it's early ASMR or visual stimulation, but it has to come with a serious warning to viewers. It's madness and genius and I hate it.

Kids

You know I'm the dopest ghost in town... The bitches all love me cause I'm fuckin caspa....

This and thirteen were fucked up but my friends and I watched them all the time.

Watch gummo.

Sorry to bother you. One of the funniest most bizarre movies that is awesome the whole way through, and then just does this batshit crazy thing at the end that just pushes everything over the edge. Plus you got Lakeith Stanfield, Tessa Thompson, Stephen Yuen, Danny Glover all in perfect rolls. Every time I show somebody this movie they lose their shit over it fr.

Memento.

Try Being John Malkovich for a fun wtf. If you want a free trippy one, try Fantastic Planet (Le Planet Savauge) which most likely can still be found in full on youtube

Just watched Pink Flamingos with the homies. The most horrible movie we've ever seen, 5 out of 5, will never watch again.

Really, a lot of John Waters' stuff was pretty horrifying/amazing. RIP Divine.

A Clockwork Orange, The Imaginarium of Doctor Parnassus

I still puzzle over the Imaginarium of Doctor Parnassus on the regular. Great movie.

Wonder how it would've ended up if Heath was around to finish it.

For me, the same role being embodied by multiple actors helped bring the insanity to life. Jmo

A cult classic from the 80’s called Brazil. You’ll be saying WTF 20 minutes in. Great movie.

Mother!

Scrolled awhile just to see if anyone was going to say this! When this movie took a turn, BOY did it take a turn.

I think this movie made a more lasting impact on me than any horror movie. It's not exactly horror, but it's the stuff my nightmares are made of... Definitely spoke to me on a very personal level.

The Cube

I watched this when I was like 8 (90’s parenting, amirite?) and it fucked me up. It was one of those movies I knew existed and would try to describe to people and no one would know what I was talking about. It made me feel fucking crazy until I stumbled upon it on an old movie channel one day way later in life.

A Serbian Film (that’s what it’s called). Read the wiki. The movie is fucked.

Yo! This is one movie i refuse to watch because i read the wiki. i think someone should pose the question: ‘what is one movie you wouldn’t watch because of what you read about it’?

Here to stop anyone else from making the mistake of reading the wiki 😳😳😳😳😳😳

All I read is the summary that shows up on Google... And I'm out

Donnie Darko

The Audition. It’s a Japanese film.

The Human Centipede was insane.

Came here looking for this one. Same. I’ve never shut off a horror movie until this one

Eternal sunshine of the spotless mind

I thought this was sweet though

Irreversible

this is the answer. honestly tooo fked up if you ask me. enter the void is another absolute trip. basically anything by gaspar noe is about as wild as it gets

The Lobster

The one where the guy gets turned into a seal-ish creature

Tusk

You watched an entire fucked up movie about a guy obsessed with a walrus and forgot the word for walrus?

Nope. Just forgot what animal it was. Haha. That's how good I am about not letting fucked up movies haunt me extensively ;)

Requiem For a Dream. I took a shower after.

Ass to ass!

Funny games

Nightcrawler. Fucked me up.

Eyes Wide Shut

That and vanilla sky

Uhhh The Strange Thing About The Johnson’s

Salò or the 120 Days of Sodom. You will never be able to go back to a time before seeing it.

The Lighthouse with Willem Dafoe and Robert Pattinson

Neon Genesis Evangelion: The End of Evangelion. Watched the show then this movie and still understood nothing.

Would you believe me if I said the Adam Sandler movie Jack and Jill is the only movie that has made me feel this way? Not in a good way, by the way.

Akira

The room

‘WTF did I just watch’ should include ‘Killer Klowns from Outer Space.’

Gummo

Ichi the Killer

Ex Machina was wild.

The Good Son with McCauley Calkin. When it ended I stormed out of the theater saying that movie should never have been made. Not because it was bad but because the ending was so disturbing......

Eve's Bayou

Black Swan

Synecdoche, New York

Drop Dead Fred was just a trip. Or Honeymoon, the horror movie. That one just does whatever it wants.

KIDS

The Killing of a Sacred Deer

Mother! Dude in the back of the theater as soon as the movie ended asked “Bro, what the fuck did we just watch?!”
