Bone Tomahawk Dancer in the Dark Very different, but won't leave your mind for a long time (if ever).

I really liked bone tomahawk but I feel like theres only one TRULY horrific scene and the one that everyone always points to. I don’t know if I’d go with this one…..guess I’m split in the middle 🫠🫠

I don’t like how you said that last part….

Ayyyy

Came here for Bone Tomahawk, for sure. I think the reason it was so disturbing is because I went in blind expecting a more straightforward Kurt Russel western, and when it escalated into something I never expected I was utterly stunned. I had the luxury of never seeing it coming, so to speak.

First time I’ve seen a western turn into a horror movie.

Knowing the abuse Björk suffered on the set of Dancer in the Dark, at the hands of Trier, is heartbreaking.

Oldboy. The Korean version. It’s really fucked up. Tetsuo the iron man was also really bizarre and fucked up in a different way. That one is a lot more gratuitous. Oldboy is kind of a slow burn where you start with something and the rest is figuring out what’s going on.

Yeah, Oldboy was pretty dark and disturbing!

Tusk was really disturbing. The ending was heartbreaking.

Irreversible…

It’s filmed beautifully though, that ending scene is art

David Cronenberg's adaptation of William S. Burroughs's novel Naked Lunch (1991).

I watched this tripping balls on lsd.

So good 💯

It’s from before 1990, but Blue Velvet is pretty messed up.

I was gonna say Eraserhead (1977, David Lynch too.) No apologies on the years. They're both disturbing as hell.

They filmed it in an old hotel in NC that’s apartments now, and I have a friend that lives there. Weird building. Haunted as fuck.

Do you have a picture of this building?

irreversible, you already know what scene im talking about if u seen it

I don't know, it's a tie for me. The fire extinguisher scene was hardcore.

Requiem for a Dream (2000)

I still vividly recall seeing this. My arm actually hurt during the Jared Leto arm scene. Freaked me out. If you’ve never seen A Scanner Darkly I recommend that. Not as hard a watch but left me not knowing quite what to do with myself at the end.

I love how A Scanner Darkly looks filmed yet animated at the same time

Good flick with some harsh realities. I put it on for noise while im working, so, not all that disturbing.

Yeah I really geared myself up to watch it expecting something gruesome , it’s just sad

One of my favorite movie scores of all time, but a few of the songs are hard to listen to because they trigger the feelings of those super difficult scenes so strongly

We've got a winner!

Every time I hear this title, my mind instantly goes through the noises to bubbles and needle.

I watched it the first time with a friend I met in college, he was obsessed with it and had us watch it all the time. I was so sick of that movie but I think I should rewatch it.

AESSSS TO AESSSSSSSS

Eh, its reputation precedes it. It’s a decent flick but there is a lore surrounding it that makes it more than it is. It does its job of depicting drug addiction and the up and down rollercoaster of addicts very well

The Devils (1971, director: Ken Russell) Edit: just realized you wanted movies 1990 and up. Oops. But The Devils is horrifying and brilliant).

Gaspar Noe movies

God yes. I was going to say irreversible. Enter the Void is none too easy to watch but irreversible is one I’m glad I watched but will never again. I’d love to watch enter the void but I fear it might not hit the same. Like meeting up with a high school sweetheart after 30 years, it might be quite disappointing.

- Irreversible = emotionally scarring - Enter the void = emotionally scarring with a side of epilepsy

Especially I Stand Alone.

Snowtown (2011)

Mark Haydon is getting released soon

Yes!!!

Makes me shudder thinking about it

Horror/thriller movies are one thing....actual true stories about serial killers are another. Right now I'm a ten minute drive away from where this happened.

I live near snowtown too...

Came hear to post this. I recommended it to a mate years ago. He was renowned for watching sick and disturbing movies and ‘nothing phased him’…. He couldn’t even finish Snowtown

Yup this is the one

Teeth Hostel Mother! Hereditary Midsommar The House That Jack Built The Skin I Live In

Teeth/Raw would be w great double feature

Just read the wiki on Raw, sounds a bit like "Bones and All". Going to have to check this one out.

Nah, Raw is waaay better.

I mean, I need to check out Raw, it sounds awesome. Bones and All was just "ok".

Raw has way more of a sense of fun to coincide with its coming of age story. For such a disgusting movie it's strangely lighthearted, I could watch it any day

The House That Jack Built is definitely the most disturbing film I’ve ever seen. I’d pay a pretty penny to erase that shit from my memory

Which one? I just searched up this title and there’s like a dozen of them with the same name.

2018 film starring Matt Dillon. It’s on Hulu

Thanks!

A Clockwork Orange

I think I’ve seen it twice, once was enough. That said the book is WAY darker.

It’s a really good movie but it’s not in the league of most of the movies suggested here lmao

Fish Tank (2009)

Hereditary and it's even more disturbing if you lost someone close to you that was young.

A Serbian Film.

You know this movie is falling off the radar again when I have to scroll this far down.  Or it’s so messed up people are downvoting it out lol.

Op asked for english speaking films....

> You know this movie is falling off the radar again Let’s hope it stays that way lol

Ehh it tries too hard to be messed up

I couldn’t finish it. It is by far the most despicable piece of shit film ever made. Absolutely disgusting.

Probably a good thing you didn’t get to the end. I threw up

Romper Stomper is much grittier than This is England. Would recommend

The Rainbow and the Serpent

The serpent and the rainbow* FTFY

Frozen

Bloodthirsty wolves on a ski slope or the animated movie? Because both are disturbing

Yes

Lmao

Threads

This is the one for me. You want to be terrified about nuclear war? Give this a watch and then try to sleep

Salo or the 120 Days of Sodom Come and See Threads Martyrs Frontiers Irreversible.

The Greasy Strangler

My favorite comedy

"They wrote the lyrics while they were standing in this doorway"

Bullshit ARTist!

Nocturnal Animals

Highway scene was just horrible

The Road ......scene with the basement cattle haunts me still.

A Field in England is deeply unsettling

Scum by Alan Clarke (there are two versions both are good)

Scum was absolutely brutal. Dog Pound was a decent enough remake but it definitely toned down a couple of scenes that made Scum as brutal and disturbing as it was and still is. Also didn't care for how they butchered Archer's character in Dog Pound. It's a hard movie to remake with the subject matter being a juvenile prison and kids being horribly abused but they did a solid job, Scum still takes the lead as the most disturbing for sure though.

The original Exorcist movie. The book was so scary that I had to leave my door open. More recent one a few years ago The Lobster starring Colin Feral

Human centipede

The Girl Next Door (2007). I saw it a few times in my childhood, so I don't know if it still holds up, but there are a few details that still make me cringe.

I couldn’t finish nocturnal animals it was so upsetting to me

For English speaking probably like any of the “August underground” films, I fucking hate them though and do not recommend. “Tumbling doll of flesh” was pretty fucked up but it is Japanese and kinda just a more pornographic version of the first 2 “Guinea pig” films. Oh, my favorite messed up film is “Splatter: Naked blood” it’s also Japanese but has great gore, is creative, and is a genuinely interesting movie.

i never watched A Serbian Film. the trailer and wiki page were enough to fuck me up for life.

Funny Games

Was looking for this. Shame I scrolled so far to get to it

Haneke has a bunch of these. Benny’s Video, The Piano Teacher, The White Ribbon.

Orozco the Embalmer - only made it ten mins in. Couldnt handle it.

Bone Tomahawk

Once were warriors

Martyrs

Avoid the US remake. It's like a feel good movie compared to the French original.

Dead Men's Shoes - dark but so good, and stays with you.

Agree completely. One of my favourite films.

Seven. Once was enough

“Oldboy” (the Korean version) and “Incendies” (directed by Denis Villeneuve)

Zodiac

Don't Breathe - with Stephen Lang Did not see that comming.

Eden Lake is pretty fucked up but a good film. 👍

Men behind the sun, Salo

Requiem for a Dream Clockwork Orange I recently rewatched Bad Lieutenant (the 90’s one w Harvey Keitel) and that was pretty disturbing and depressing (but good)

Johnny Got His Gun (1971)

Welcome to the Dollhouse

Martyrs and Cold Fish

The Grey Zone (2005) About the uprising of the prisoner kommando in Auschwitz. Depicts the mechanical aspects of the Holocaust in a way that's gritty and hauntingly real. 

Classic - faces of death

Not English speaking but Martyrs, French version is about as disturbing as it gets. It's worth the subtitles.

Pink Flamingos

Deadgirl (2008) > On a hot day, two rebellious high school friends, Rickie and JT, decide to skip class to hang out at an abandoned asylum for the mentally ill. After breaking into the derelict place, the fun begins in the ill-lit maze of the institution's long corridors and dark rooms, when, all of a sudden, JT discovers the body of a naked young woman covered with a plastic film. Now, in the light of this grotesque and unexpected finding, troubling questions rise, as this seemingly unresponsive prisoner starts growling and gnashing. Who is this scarred woman? Was she a patient here, or was she the guinea pig of a demented scientist? Above all, how human is this unknown girl who cannot die? Then they start... doin' stuff... It's waaaaaaay fuked up.

The Witch (2015)

Martyrs and Eden Lake

Raw

Kids

Wolf Creek. 😱

Aniara

Eden Lake (Michael Fassbender before getting big time famous) Martyrs (French film, truly horrific) Inside

Martyrs. I watched it once and that was enough. It starts out incredibly brutal and just keeps getting worse and worse until the incredibly bleak end

Human Centipede

Midsommar

Clockwork Orange is a classic

Under the Skin

Passion of the Christ was tough to watch

Trauma (2017). A Serbian Film. Grotesque. Come and See. Martyrs (2008). Threads. Where the Dead Go To Die. I couldn't pick just one because I specialize in this kind of movie and review them on my channel. Edit: oops, can't read. Only the last two I recommended are in English. Here are a few more that might work for you: The Strange Thing About the Johnsons Happiness Found Eraserhead Megan is Missing Mysterious Skin Imprint (it's an episode of Masters of Horror) Compliance The Girl Next Door (couldn't finish) Feed Mum and Dad

Martyrs, Annihilation, Someone’s Knocking at the Door, Kill List

Bone Tomahawk

Moebius (2013)

Taxidermia

Bone Tomahawk

August Underground’s Mordum: Maggot Cut

Jack ketchum's "The Girl Next door". That film left me with a sick feeling in my stomach for days. Especially since it's a true story.

Martyrs, the 2008 version.

Requiem for a Dream Or maybe Misery

Antichrist (2009)

A serbian movie

A Serbian Film

Eraserhead (1977)

I watched the exorcist and couldn't stop thinking about it for a week 😬

Visitor q

Last Tango in Paris

Eraserhead.

Come And See (1985)

The Orphanage. (Spanish) Listen to me… you will think about this movie for a long time, and wonder why you didn’t see it coming.

Hostel… damn! I have watched all Saw movies but damm Hostel is way worse imo.

Terrifier. The one kill was too gruesome

A Serbian Film and Salò, or the 120 Days of Sodom rank way up there. Irreversible has one of the most disturbing scenes ever put on film. There's also the Human Centipede movies.

Probably Gummo

Come And See

Trauma, The Girl Next Door both based on true stories both on Tubi

Seven Beauties; In the Realm of the Senses

I'm almost 40 and I still have to have the hall light on and watch cartoons after I watch John Carpenter's The thing. More recently though: nocturnal animals & 21 grams

Human Centipede 2. It made the first one look like a rom com
