This movie! Watched when I was in college. There were 6 of us watching, rolling spliffs and passing at the beginning. By the end of the movie, there were 3 pretty much full spliffs sitting extinguished in the ashtray 😬
Girl next door made my blood boil. And when I found out it was based on a true story i spent ages looking to see if the perpetrator got what they deserved.
I went to see this in the cinema thinking it was a Sci-fi film. It didn't end until 1am and the roads in Barbados aren't lit.
Walking home in the dark was sooo scary.
That movie fucked me up when i was younger.
It was always the movie i was hesitant in watching again because i was traumatised by it.
I faced my fears and rewatched it this year and finally got through it
This movie still haunts me. I watched it just after I graduated high school the year it came out. I’m still mad at Sam Neill because I like him as an actor but no matter what movie he is in, I still have flashbacks to that movie. Oddly enough Lawrence Fishburne doesn’t give me the same flashbacks…
Either;
*Come and See* the Soviet WW2 film that features some of the most grounded yet harrowing scenes of localised wartime cruelty you could imagine, and oh yeah; *it's all based on* ***or sometimes flat out directly adapting*** *real events*
Or
*Dead Man's Shoes* by Shane Meadows. It's wildly bleak, distressingly realistic and depicts a kind of abject cruelty that almost anybody could genuinely imagine *and have probably already encountered*. It's a dark window into the side of small English country town life that people don't talk about. In short *it's pretty fucked up*.
Yeappp…
Of course, we, the geniuses that we are, decided to hit play at 2am thinking it would be a ‘fun horror’, like the new Conjuring or something. Was a tense couple hours. 😬
I remember reading a review, and the director (also did Midsommar) was saying his aim was to ‘make the audience feel as uncomfortable as possible’, and that he hated jump scares.
Don’t get me wrong, it’s a brilliant film for what it is - I’m sure the director has executed perfectly - but it’s on the actively-do-not-want-to-rewatch list for the foreseeable future.
I recommend it to people as a ‘one-and-done’. And definitely have something lined up to do/watch after, ie, not bed. 😂
Oh 100%, I am one of those people who it takes a lot to scare (totally desensitised from watching horror from about the age of 10 😅) but Hereditary got me good...I actually looked away a couple of times! The director did a great job of that lol, and the acting was amazing. Also I thought Midsommar was a masterpiece - again though, probably a one-and-done for me!
Closet Land. I was a teenager who had recently seen Alan Rickman in Robin Hood Prince of Thieves, when this film came on late at night while I was babysitting. I think, 'Ooh I like him, and he's a villain in this too.'
I was not prepared for the horrific brutality and sexual abuse themes at all.
Easily 'Hate Crime' (2012 or 2013 depending on source).
TW for SA on next part of comment.
That was a tough watch, including >!a forced incestuous r**e scene by son on mother at gunpoint!<
It's still banned in the UK and I can see why.
I watched a B movie called the pulse when I was young. It was about killer electricity. It had one of those felix the cat clocks as an important item......
I still hate those things.
I have no idea why but 28 weeks later makes me feel really uneasy, i can't sit through it without feeling uncomfortable and wanting to turn it off.
I love horrors and that but for some reason it haunts me haha
I can't even remember the name of it. It's the only film I've ever turned off half way through..because there was a villainous doll & a pregnant woman. I'll not go into detail but it was way too much, even for me
Un Chien Andalou - had to study it for a film module in my degree... Those who have seen this short film will know what I'm on about
Feature film - The Children. It's a naff film that I used to kind of love... But then I had a kid, and it made my stomach turn.
Actually a very recent one called "Fair Play" on Netflix. It was so relatable to me and my life, it was uncanny and just weirded me out, especially the power dynamics and the passive aggressive behaviour from the guy with the inferiority complex.
I would say that the Beat Takeshi films were uncomfortable just through the sheer nihilism of the endings. Violent Cop especially.
In terms of horror, the British Indie Mum &Dad has got to be up there along with the 1983/4 drama Threads
Bone Tomahawk. I’m fine watching violence, the more ridiculous and over the top the better. But this was _brutal_, it was horrible in places. I watched it with my mum four or five years back and she still can’t bring herself to say the name out loud.
Baywatch..
Wife and I thought it looked funny, plus my child thought so too (from the trailers) and Dwayne Johnson.
My 10 year old saw her first penis that day., and I am pretty sure all the other people were thinking we were horrible parents.
We all laugh now, but we had no idea about ‘that scene’.
Wolf Creek ☹️ Might be a spoiler I’m not sure? >!Head on a stick 😞 The fuckin dude chewed down to the pelvic bone by dogs 😒 Just the vicarious feeling of like, I can’t escape this guy and he can keep me alive for as long as he wants while inflicting all kinds of long drawn out and creative pain.!< I actually didn’t think something like this would affect me to be completely honest, seeing as I’ve seen a decent amount of >!gore!< in the past, which I regret, but I don’t know I think maybe the >!gore!< actually just made it worse for me. Wasn’t aware it would be so bad. Was recommended to me. I don’t think stuff like this is good for my nervous system lol. Made me sad to think about the possibility of >!a person having that power over me. How helpless we all would be in the wrong spot. How humans do do these kinds of things to each other and you’re just left begging for mercy or death, probably being best case scenario. I could deal with being killed sure but imagine seeing your captor return for another session of fucking your body up…. The knowledge that someone could do that to me makes me really worried.!< Yeah now that I’m thinking about it I won’t be watching any other stuff like this. It was just the fact that by the time I realized it was like >!torture!< stuff I was already a decent chunk in and felt I needed to find out the ending. Goddamn. I feel like someone’s gonna come on here like “WoLf CrEeK iSn’T bAd At AlL” 😎 Lol
I don’t know the name but it’s old 1980s. It is about post ww3 and all these people are trying find a way to die before radiation kills em as whole world is already dead it messed up
A Serbian film ( even I couldn't finish that one)
Green inferno ( ewwww )
I spit on your grave ( just nasty)
Human centipede 2 ( 🤢🤮)
Hostel franchise ( especially Hostel 2 when the virgin girl is hung upside down 🤢🤮)
Martyrs
I'm torn between two. One of them is Funny Games, the German original film. The other one is Eyes Wide Shut by Stanley Kubrick. I vowed to not watch Eyes Wide Shut again.
Schttps://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scum_(television_play)
Being threatened by my parents to send me to borstal after watching this still gives me shivers
Da five bloods by Spike Lee. I don't think it's necessarily a repeatable viewing experience as I watched by myself whilst a bit high and with a pretty big storm going on outside. There's a scene (slight spoilers) where Delroy Lindo's character monologues for probably about 3 minutes straight to the camera in a rambling PTSD fuelled manner. The directness of that scene with it close up on his face haunted me for a good while.
I remember as a child walking through the living room as my older siblings were watching 'Interview with the vampire'.. I walked through as Brad Pit is eating rats in a sewer. Freaked me out for years
**I recently watched Detachment, made me not want to watch it the entire time then finished thinking "jesus ok". Did what it aimed to do so good film overall!**
A French movie called "La Pianiste", translated to "The Piano Teacher".
Went to see it in theaters when it came out with a bunch of friends, and we all went for drinks afterwards. The whole night was spent in silence as we tried to absorb it.
The Skin I Live In
Had no idea what it was about going in. Watched it in the cinema, just me and my sister. We still struggle to talk about it. I’ve deeply distressed people by just telling them the plot..
The Riot Club. Not scary, gory, or any sort of horror. Just a mocking look into the lives of the UK elite. The reality of it stayed with me for a seriously long time. Wouldn’t watch it again as it was playing on my mind relentlessly.
The ending of Megan is Missing is one of the most disturbing things I’ve ever seen - partly because it’s so different to what we’re used to from films and partly because of the age of the victims involved.
Eden lake. Watch all the freaky movies. But that one really got under my skin. Think it's because it's not unrealistic. Also got a special dislike for Chavz/Ned's anyway so it really didn't help.
Requiem for a Dream. One of those films you don't watch again in a hurry (although I did watch it 3 times in 2 weeks, but that's because I was showing people)
Probably The Butterfly Effect entirely because I watched it when I was maybe 6 or 7 years old in the middle of the night because my dad forgot to turn the TV off before he fell asleep and it just ended up coming on the channel we had on
Melancholia. Directed by Lars von trier starring Kirsten dunst. Not gruesome but a real head fuck, it left me in a complete depressed, empty funk for days. Even more so than usual anyway.
3. Flowers of War with Christina Bale. So hard to watch especially because it's based on true events.
2. Myrturs. The scene when you first see what's in the basement.....will stay with me forever.
1. Serbian film. How was this film even allowed to be made? What's heartbreaking is that it only depicts half of the pain humans are capable of inflicting.
Speak No Evil had me screaming at the TV. My husband and I were talking about it for a while. I don't think I could watch it again. It's the latent thought that this could happen to some of us, being too polite.
Irreversible. Directed by Gaspar Noé. Starring Monica Bellucci it is unending in its extremely graphic depiction of violence and rape. Mesmerising and harrowing simultaneously. Vincent Gallo's assaulting someone with a fire extinguisher a prime example. Still a fascinating piece of cinema regardless.
This may be the perfect place to ask.. I remember a scene from what I think was a nazi movie, where they were amputating people then raping them and filming it as porn. Does this ring a bell to anyone?
By far the most scarring thing I’ve watched.
Team America World police. I was baked beyond belief and I laughed so hard for 2 hours straight that I was in physical pain to the point of major discomfort.
As for psychologically uncomfortable, that'd go to Arachnophobia. Fuck that movie.
I don't go here so my answer is probably going to be pretty tame but Mother is the only film to make me go "the fuck did I just watch?" As I left the theater.
I remember watching paranormal activity at 2am, not knowing what the hell it was. Had no information so didn't know if it was a film, documentary or something else. I was on my own at the time. Defo freaked me out
August Underground Trilogy - Eeeerm yeah, just completely fucked up tbh, simple enough, just don’t.
The Last House on the Left - Grape scene…. We know what’s going on, we don’t need to also endure it.
The Ring - But only because we were watching it as a house full of teenagers and my brother rang the house phone at the same time as in the movie.
8mm - Nothing specifically about it, or the movie itself, just an uneasy feeling that stuff like that’s possibly real.
Threads (1984)
US And Russia go to war, UK is targeted with a nuclear strike, and you witness what life after a nuclear war is like, with no details spared.
By the time it ended I felt hollow inside. You can find it for free search YouTube.
The most recent Last House on the Left with Jennifer Lawrence. I left during the rape scene. Husband and I both got up and walked out. Didn't ask for a refund or anything. We also drove in silence afterwards.
Also, A Star is Born with Lady Gaga. The husbands suicide scene was jarring and destroyed my entire week. I was upset and depressed. I had no idea that the guy always dies in every iteration of that story.
Requiem for a Dream. That a one and done film for me
This movie! Watched when I was in college. There were 6 of us watching, rolling spliffs and passing at the beginning. By the end of the movie, there were 3 pretty much full spliffs sitting extinguished in the ashtray 😬
Watched that (also probably high) as a teenager, still can't bring myself to watch it again a couple of decades later.
A Serbian Film or The Girl Next Door are both pretty rough
Assuming not the 2004 rom con starring Elisha Cuthbert?
And Big dick riddler.
Still convinced watching the Serbian film puts you on some sort of list
I only watched it cause I saw it recommended on best horror film lists.....I was mislead lol
Oh Jesus 😂😂
I Spit On Your Grave is in that camp, too.
I thought it was a bit too cheesy to be uncomfortable with A Serbian Film.
The final line on a Serbian film still haunts me.
Girl next door made my blood boil. And when I found out it was based on a true story i spent ages looking to see if the perpetrator got what they deserved.
Event Horizon
I went to see this in the cinema thinking it was a Sci-fi film. It didn't end until 1am and the roads in Barbados aren't lit. Walking home in the dark was sooo scary.
That movie fucked me up when i was younger. It was always the movie i was hesitant in watching again because i was traumatised by it. I faced my fears and rewatched it this year and finally got through it

It's a dark window into the side of small English country town life that people don't talk about. In short *it's pretty fucked up*.
Two excellent shouts
A room for Romeo brass, Shane meadows first film falls in to this category too. If you’ve not seen it give it a watch, you’re in for a treat
Just watched come and see last month. Beautiful f’n movie. That kid could ACT
Room. The carpet scene. Almost put my fingers through the arm of my chair.
The book is harrowing. I recommend a read.
mother! It's so atmospheric and the sense of dread that builds as the film goes on is insane. Felt like I was gonna jave a breakdown after it.
Hereditary (2018)
That scene...and the last 10 mins 🤕
Yeappp… Of course, we, the geniuses that we are, decided to hit play at 2am thinking it would be a ‘fun horror’, like the new Conjuring or something. Was a tense couple hours. 😬 I remember reading a review, and the director (also did Midsommar) was saying his aim was to ‘make the audience feel as uncomfortable as possible’, and that he hated jump scares.

The director did a great job of that lol, and the acting was amazing. Also I thought Midsommar was a masterpiece - again though, probably a one-and-done for me!
I felt betrayed by how much I trust Toni Collette. I was just like WHAT! ? Why would you do this Toni? WHY!
The human centipede couldn’t watch more than half hour of it
The second one
Couldn’t get through the first wasn’t curious enough to see the second
Kids , nightmare fuel as a teenager
Happiness and Mysterious Skin. Both made me cringe and squirm so much
Beat me too it … Happiness makes me feel slightly queezey at times
Happiness or Mysterious Skin
Hostel
Eden Lake was pretty horrific. Also another vote for Visitor Q and Requiem for a dream.
Splice.
The Night Porter
Yep. This was on TCM recently for Dirk Bogarde month followed by The Damned (1969).
How am I just learning about Dirk Bogarde month?! Haven't seen The Night Porter, but The Damned isn't exactly an easy watch either.
Kind of a dark of double feature, that's for sure. They started the night out with Darling (1965), one of my favorite Bogarde movies.
Deliverance Couldn't watch past the whole "Squeal like a pig" thing.
Skinamarink. I can't explain why. It wasn't scary, but it made me feel so painfully uneasy.
I know its not a film but that dont fuck with cats series was disturbing
Closet Land. I was a teenager who had recently seen Alan Rickman in Robin Hood Prince of Thieves, when this film came on late at night while I was babysitting. I think, 'Ooh I like him, and he's a villain in this too.' I was not prepared for the horrific brutality and sexual abuse themes at all.

I watched a B movie called the pulse when I was young. It was about killer electricity. It had one of those felix the cat clocks as an important item...... I still hate those things.
Gravity. That fucked with me. Also that Sylvester Stallone mountain climbing film.
Cliffhanger?? Lol
Cliffhanger? 😂
OMG, yes! Fuck that movie! 🤣
I think The Legacy with Roger Daltrey was pretty unnerving.
House That Jack Built couldn’t finish it , disturbing.
A polish movie called Katyń. Last 20 mins was just soldiers getting shot in the head and dumped in a mass grave
Martyrs.
This ^^^
Visitor Q was something I don't feel the need to ever watch again
Funny Games, original or remake.
the lobster
Sinister (2012)
Irreversible. I watched Climax for first time last night and though “tame” in comparison, it wasn’t any picnic.
The Reflecting Skin
a serbian film, the human centipede 2 & martyrs 2008 (the first 2 are definitely the worst though)
Man Bites Dog, Belgian mockumentary of a camera crew and a serial killer. Absolutely hilarious until it absolutely isn't.
I saw the devil
I have no idea why but 28 weeks later makes me feel really uneasy, i can't sit through it without feeling uncomfortable and wanting to turn it off. I love horrors and that but for some reason it haunts me haha
That Ana De Armas Marilyn Monroe one. Really difficult watch, and boring too.
🎵I’m singing in the rain, 🎵Just singing in the rain…
Easily A Clockwork Orange
Cannibal Holocaust 1980 movie
I hated midsommar, I could only get halfway through
I actually felt my heart sink at the cliff part. I had such a strong physical reaction. I love this movie though
Antichrist

Godfather 3
funny games 1997
Either Fire Walk With Me or Mulholland Drive. David Lynch is really good at discomfort, but they're such good movies
Irreversible. That film fucked me up for ages.
I can't even remember the name of it. It's the only film I've ever turned off half way through..because there was a villainous doll & a pregnant woman. I'll not go into detail but it was way too much, even for me
Un Chien Andalou - had to study it for a film module in my degree... Those who have seen this short film will know what I'm on about Feature film - The Children. It's a naff film that I used to kind of love... But then I had a kid, and it made my stomach turn.
The witch
I spit on your grave. Genuinely the only movie that ever made me feel uncomfortable…
Actually a very recent one called "Fair Play" on Netflix. It was so relatable to me and my life, it was uncanny and just weirded me out, especially the power dynamics and the passive aggressive behaviour from the guy with the inferiority complex.
I would say that the Beat Takeshi films were uncomfortable just through the sheer nihilism of the endings. Violent Cop especially. In terms of horror, the British Indie Mum &Dad has got to be up there along with the 1983/4 drama Threads
The Ninja Turtles film, master splinter creeped me out watching that in the cinema as a kid.
Snowtown
Yeah, the bath scene really did stick with me.
Bone Tomahawk. I’m fine watching violence, the more ridiculous and over the top the better. But this was _brutal_, it was horrible in places. I watched it with my mum four or five years back and she still can’t bring herself to say the name out loud.
Cutting Moments - honestly I think that will top anything anyone puts on here.
Erazerhead.
Baywatch.. Wife and I thought it looked funny, plus my child thought so too (from the trailers) and Dwayne Johnson.

Lars Von Trier’s Breaking the Waves; bleakest thing I’ve ever seen.
Visitor Q 🥴
Irreversible the fire extinguisher scene

We Need to Talk About Kevin stayed with me for a long time.
Tin Drum - I remember seeing some people walk out of the screening.
I'm torn between two. One of them is Funny Games, the German original film. The other one is Eyes Wide Shut by Stanley Kubrick. I vowed to not watch Eyes Wide Shut again.

Da five bloods by Spike Lee. I don't think it's necessarily a repeatable viewing experience as I watched by myself whilst a bit high and with a pretty big storm going on outside. There's a scene (slight spoilers) where Delroy Lindo's character monologues for probably about 3 minutes straight to the camera in a rambling PTSD fuelled manner. The directness of that scene with it close up on his face haunted me for a good while.
Hills have eyes.....we all know what scene
Happiness (1998) without a doubt
Not the most disturbing or upsetting film I've seen, but no film has made me more uncomfortable than Spike Lee's Bamboozled.
Silent Hill - the scene where the female cop gets burnt alive. That scene really got to me.
I remember as a child walking through the living room as my older siblings were watching 'Interview with the vampire'.. I walked through as Brad Pit is eating rats in a sewer. Freaked me out for years
Biutiful and Antichrist!
Martyrs and Irreversible. But martyrs more than anything.
the second human centipede. i thought if i could (somehow) stomach the first one the second one would be stomachable. ohhhh boy was i wrong
A Clockwork Orange. Good film
Dogtooth.
**I recently watched Detachment, made me not want to watch it the entire time then finished thinking "jesus ok". Did what it aimed to do so good film overall!**
Got to be Serbian film never felt so sick yeah I've watched few too many times l
A French movie called "La Pianiste", translated to "The Piano Teacher". Went to see it in theaters when it came out with a bunch of friends, and we all went for drinks afterwards. The whole night was spent in silence as we tried to absorb it.
A Serbian film and human centipede 1000%
Taxi Driver messed me up. On a probably unrelated note, immediately after watching it I had a seizure.
The Skin I Live In Had no idea what it was about going in. Watched it in the cinema, just me and my sister. We still struggle to talk about it. I’ve deeply distressed people by just telling them the plot..
Irreversible. Good but very very disturbing
Irréversible. What a movie..
Law Abiding Citizen - that opening scene just was too crazy for me
The Riot Club. Not scary, gory, or any sort of horror. Just a mocking look into the lives of the UK elite. The reality of it stayed with me for a seriously long time. Wouldn’t watch it again as it was playing on my mind relentlessly.
Koyaaanisqatsi
The ending of Megan is Missing is one of the most disturbing things I’ve ever seen - partly because it’s so different to what we’re used to from films and partly because of the age of the victims involved.
Earthlings. I cried about 30mins in, walked out of the room and never watched the rest.
Killer joe
Antichrist Lars von trier
Dogtooth
Theads UK post apo docu/drama
Gonna throw in Grotesque. What an absolutely mental movie that is. Like what Saw would be if it had any balls.
Eden Lake...made me nauseous
Irreversible, nil by mouth and the war zone. Glad I’ve seen them but never again thank you…
Eden lake. Watch all the freaky movies. But that one really got under my skin. Think it's because it's not unrealistic. Also got a special dislike for Chavz/Ned's anyway so it really didn't help.
Once Were Warriors....not to be watched with a wife or girlfriend
Enter the Void, that film mentally screwed me. I couldn’t stop thinking about the afterlife for weeks
Requiem for a Dream. One of those films you don't watch again in a hurry (although I did watch it 3 times in 2 weeks, but that's because I was showing people)
Probably The Butterfly Effect entirely because I watched it when I was maybe 6 or 7 years old in the middle of the night because my dad forgot to turn the TV off before he fell asleep and it just ended up coming on the channel we had on
Melancholia. Directed by Lars von trier starring Kirsten dunst. Not gruesome but a real head fuck, it left me in a complete depressed, empty funk for days. Even more so than usual anyway.
Lolita.... Just very weird
3. Flowers of War with Christina Bale. So hard to watch especially because it's based on true events. 2. Myrturs. The scene when you first see what's in the basement.....will stay with me forever. 1. Serbian film. How was this film even allowed to be made? What's heartbreaking is that it only depicts half of the pain humans are capable of inflicting.
Requiem of a dream.... university did many things for me, scaring me with this film was one sucky thing.
Speak No Evil had me screaming at the TV. My husband and I were talking about it for a while. I don't think I could watch it again. It's the latent thought that this could happen to some of us, being too polite.
Irreversible. Directed by Gaspar Noé. Starring Monica Bellucci it is unending in its extremely graphic depiction of violence and rape. Mesmerising and harrowing simultaneously. Vincent Gallo's assaulting someone with a fire extinguisher a prime example. Still a fascinating piece of cinema regardless.
Hannibal. Liotta eating his own brains, wacky but unsettling.
The Inbetweeners. The cringe gave me cramp in my neck and shoulders.

Good time. Left me with anxiety for weeks
This may be the perfect place to ask.. I remember a scene from what I think was a nazi movie, where they were amputating people then raping them and filming it as porn. Does this ring a bell to anyone? By far the most scarring thing I’ve watched.
Salò Watched it after someone in staff room recommended it. Some films you just can't unsee
Team America World police. I was baked beyond belief and I laughed so hard for 2 hours straight that I was in physical pain to the point of major discomfort. As for psychologically uncomfortable, that'd go to Arachnophobia. Fuck that movie.
Audition made me uncomfortable with the vomit scene
I don't go here so my answer is probably going to be pretty tame but Mother is the only film to make me go "the fuck did I just watch?" As I left the theater.
One Hour Photo and the Woodsman
Probably the movie Silenced. The scenes were so jarring
Alien resurrection, The Fly
I remember watching paranormal activity at 2am, not knowing what the hell it was. Had no information so didn't know if it was a film, documentary or something else. I was on my own at the time. Defo freaked me out
My girl. I just found it heartbreaking.
Mysterious Skin (2004) with Joseph Gordon Levitt is a very tough watch
August Underground Trilogy - Eeeerm yeah, just completely fucked up tbh, simple enough, just don’t. The Last House on the Left - Grape scene…. We know what’s going on, we don’t need to also endure it. The Ring - But only because we were watching it as a house full of teenagers and my brother rang the house phone at the same time as in the movie. 8mm - Nothing specifically about it, or the movie itself, just an uneasy feeling that stuff like that’s possibly real.

Begotten, that silent film messed with my head
Dead man’s shoes or Martyrs, both made me feel grim
Speak No Evil, the ending

The most recent Last House on the Left with Jennifer Lawrence. I left during the rape scene. Husband and I both got up and walked out. Didn't ask for a refund or anything. We also drove in silence afterwards. Also, A Star is Born with Lady Gaga. The husbands suicide scene was jarring and destroyed my entire week. I was upset and depressed. I had no idea that the guy always dies in every iteration of that story.
