Try to think of the 5 movies that, pound for pound, disturbed you the most. Give a reason too. Was it because of horrible gore & torture, subject matter or something else?
Here are my 5 (in no particular order):
Audition - Takashi Miike
Man, Miike set this one up perfect. I’d hate to see what this film would do to someone who had no idea what it’s about. Just imagine, thinking it’s a romantic comedy at first, and then…
Butterfly Kiss - Michael Winterbottom
This movie is like the evil twin of Heavenly Creatures. After watching the end, I couldn’t decide whether I needed to shower or carve out the piece of my brain that would remember it. Obviously I still remember it but smtmymes gramar mine knot sew god /wteh spelyng.
Requiem for a Dream - Darren Aronofsky
Yeah, I know it’s on every disturbing movie list on the internet. I think it deserves to be there. In my opinion, much more harsh than Trainspotting. However, the latter does have that whole baby scene thingy…
Martin - George A. Romero
This film wouldn’t have worked without some good acting. But John Amplas really seemed like such a nice guy…you really do feel bad for him.
I Spit on Your Grave - Meir Zarchi
45min rape scenes are just not fun to watch. This is why I haven’t watched The Baby of Macon yet. Even though I’m sure I will one day…
Well, there you have it. I’m curious to see your lists.
By the way, if any of you out there have seen August Underground/Mordum, is it really worth it? I’ve been tempted to shell out the money for them for months now, but other things just keep popping up.
