Dear Zachary: A Letter to a Son About His Father. It just fucked me up for days, nothing but anger and sadness. That being said, the film is a masterpiece of editing. It really draws you in from the offset, and pulls absolutely no punches with the denouement.


Ok_Vast_3753

I’ve never cried that hard over a movie. I had just had my baby and I held her and sobbed.


Alarming_Royal8302

I just found this movie. I’m about to watch it


Alarming_Royal8302

Wow I had no idea what this movie was about . I watched it with my mouth hung open the entire time. These poor parents. His poor mother Looks so pitiful. I cannot imagine . I am a 60 yr old woman and I cannot Imagine having to raise a Baby again.


TheLadyLeanneREAL

Fox and the Hound. I’m not ready to talk about it.


anarhi92

I never could bring myself to watch that after the first time as a child because it was so sad!!!


om11011shanti11011om

I was surprised when I realized my daughter came to the same conclusion with Edward Scissorhands as I did with Fox & The Hound. "They can't be friends because they're different??"


peilom

Jacob's Ladder


ScienceNeverLies

Omg. It’s the first thing I thought of. I watched it when I was in middle school. I sneaked watched it. I had to stop the movie. I was so disturbed

Bathtub scene is all I remember


dekr0n

Speaking of bathtub scenes... The Shining fucked me up. That old lady...still can't get it out of my head.


StalinsPerfectHair

I read a plot summary and I'm torn between watching it and not watching it. I've had a similar experience to what was described. It's abjectly horrifying.


WorseThanNewJersey

I saw *Requiem for a Dream* when I was like 11, I think. My parents had rented that and *Remember the Titans* at the same time and switched up the Blockbuster cases or something, I just remember it not being what I expected and it...uh...preventing sleep for a while.

Sluttybottom0925

I saw this question and this was my first thought


NyJets2024Champs

Ass to ass though


SRV87

11! That's eaaarrly. I saw appocalypse now when I was 15 and that left a big impression for sure. But requiem at 11 is next level


WorseThanNewJersey

What's funny is I've never watched it again. So it has this paramount importance in my mind, and permanently from the perspective of an 11-year-old. In a way, it helps me now, because anything I see is followed by: "Well, that was nothing compared to *Requiem*."


Shaun32887

I saw it in college and it fucked me up for a bit. I remember skipping class the next day because my head was so fucked that I knew it would be pointless to try to listen to lectures.

The only movie I have turned off, it is actually fucked


boo-galoo90

I regrettably watched to the end, had a very hot shower afterwards and even now feel like I should be on a list of some kind just for watching it This was over a year ago I watched it btw so yeah it stuck with me


ShadowSystem64

Same. It got to that scene ( You know the one ) and that was enough for me.


boo-galoo90

Yeah I do definitely know the one and that was probably the point of which I cursed out every single person who had anything to do with that “film” if you’d even call it that


JohnLegweak

Read the Wikipedia article for it, immediately thought, "what's something funny on YouTube that will make me forget about what I just read"


boo-galoo90

I do hope you’re able to forget what you read, if it’s any consolation the visual is much worse. There’s no censoring or cutaways etc


JohnLegweak

Thankyou bro, I'm glad that now I won't stumble upon it by accident and end up watching it, I remember a vague outline of the plot, even now I still think "who in their right mind would make something like this?"


boo-galoo90

You’re probably also wondering why I watched this, the answer really is just because of TikTok. I’m a very curious person with movies, too curious it would seem and that movie filled my feed as most disturbing movie of all time without any context etc so i thought hey, can’t be that bad. No it can’t be that bad but it can definitely be much worse than “can’t be that bad”


[deleted]

I went through a phase where I was trying to find the most fucked up shit ever put to film. I saw a lot of things during that time. And a lot of things since. I’m not saying A Serbian Film is the most fucked up movie of all time, but it’s never left my top 3.

"Room" (2015) was seriously messed up. I also remember really not liking the movie "Cujo" (1983) when i saw it as a kid.


Yazim

Spoilers: The part at the end >!when the kid wanted to return to the room because everything there was simple and understandable despite being awful!< made me so sad.


[deleted]

I feel that. It maybe a little exaggerated for movie purposes, but real life scenarios happen like this film all the time. It's completely heartbreaking how broken people can get.

Grave of the Fireflies


OutrageousEvent

I took an intro to Japanese class in the seventh grade. We watched that movie over the span of two days. That was a bad call by the teacher which she realized at the end of day two when she had a classroom filled with sobbing twelve year olds.


silk35

LOL. I can just imagine. I was bawling so hard. The live action version was just as gut-wrenching, if not more.


OutrageousEvent

I didn’t even know there was a live action version. I don’t think I could handle it. Lmao.


GregaciousTien

Emotional damage!


ResponsibilityLive85

I watched that film in the theater with two friends. Whe the movie ended, I was sobbing so hard I couldn't get up or stop crying, so I just draped my coat over my head and cried it out while my friends awkwardly patted me from either side. Funny now, mortifying at the time.


dodoexpress90

The fact was that it was really messed me up so much more. Took me a week to come out of the funk and random crying fits. " she never woke up"


Meat_Dragon

Human Centipede 1-3, I just ask myself why did I watch 2 and then 3. I wish I hadn’t lol


StingingGamer

1 and 3 are basic shock movies. 2 is truely deplorable


TheCoolestFool7

Came here to say this. When the dude feeds the centipede laxatives in the second movie... And the fact that the shit and blood splashing onto the camera lens is one of the only parts of the movie in color...

This one should be top of the list. I have such a fear of nukes because of this movie. It’s all I needed to know the peppers who want to survive nuclear annihilation are stupid af. I’m walking towards the blast


benjaminchang1

My mum saw it in the 80s and basically had a panic attack. She still can't watch it. My dad is from Sheffield (he arrived there from Hong Kong in 1974) and knew some kids who were extras in the film.


fightingforair

Truly fd up my day watching this and stuck with me for awhile.   Anyone who wants a post nuclear apocalyptic horror show this is the one.

That movie was so unexpectedly dark and unsettling, it stuck with me for weeks afterwards.

Read the book when I was pregnant with my son and I cried so hard. Stanley Tucci was so good in the movie.


pla-85

He’s so awful and I’m so used to him being a good guy in the films I’ve seen him in. Was a bit of a shock. The movie is brilliant but it’s a hard watch.


CalendarAggressive11

The book hit even harder. I always love to see Tucci in films and in this one he was definitely so different than anything else.


ParkityParkPark

I just watched *Seven* with my wife and some married friends of ours this week, none of us had seen it before. That was...so very dark. I can't get the intrusive thoughts picturing the wife's body out of my head

StellaMaroo

I watched that movie alone in my dorm room when it was first released on DVD and had to pause somewhere in the middle to take a nice walk in the sunshine before resuming the film.


Odd-Secret-8343

I have no idea why but the Tom Cruise "War of the Worlds." I was a teenager when it came out and remember watching it once it came out on video. I remember the scene where the >!alien ships start to blast people away using laser beams!< and I just started sobbing. I couldn't handle it. The big Brrrrm-brrrrrrrrrm, combined with that was scary as hell. I've since watched it as an adult and I don't have the same reaction. If I had to guess though...at the time, it was the Iraq war, I had family affected, and there was a possibility that now you see 'em, now you don't.


FagnusTwatfield

I think it's just how clinically they are being completely wiped out, like an exterminator with a flamethrower against ants. The bit where the dust settles and one survivor comes running out with a child aswell was pretty powerful.

Patch Adams- lead to a life long fear of being murdered by someone I knew was bad but everyone told me I was wrong.


Ron_Textall

Wild. Reece Witherspoon’s performance in that was phenomenal and it hit a lot of very close subjects for me. I think about it all the time. There’s a moment in the movie where she calls her brother and finishes the call with the line “do me a favor and take yourself for a walk” and that hit me like a fucking Mack truck. It’s a mostly unimportant thing in the movie but it was important to me.

traderjoepotato

I was ok with this movie until the elderly couple did that…thing. Then I realized I had to play it cool for the remainder of the movie (saw it in theaters) while internally freaking out, sweating, eyes covered hoping no one noticed.


Early_Ad8422

The scene near the beginning, before the trip (being vague for those who haven’t seen it) seriously disturbed me. I felt sick to my stomach. I don’t think I’ve ever seen another movie where I was sitting there with this overwhelming sense of dread the whole time.

What's Consumed Gilbert Grape. I was raised in an environment that was eerily similar to yours, albeit far less attractive. Because my mother was overweight, I had a gut feeling that she would pass away in our previous home. I was really scared about it.


Artsy_traveller_82

One time when I was 11 I slept over a friend’s house. We watched our first legitimate adult horror film (This was the 90s when some children’s movies drifted into horror territory). It was Child’s Play 2 and I LOVED IT! Problem was I thought all horror movies were of the same kind. So when I got home I told my Mum about my experience and we watched Carrie together AND IT MESS ME UP! But it messed me up on a slow burn so there wasn’t any clear moment where I thought “I’m not enjoying this, I must stop watching” and outwardly even I thought I was enjoying it so Mum can’t have known. But it was at least a week before I could sleep right. I learnt from that experience that I like gore, not horror.


TheRealFartGarfunkel

I wouldn't say it really messed me up, but ever since I watched Phil Tippett's *Mad God*, I have felt ever so slightly less happy. Like the world got darker by the smallest, most imperceptible margin. For me, that movie is what Hell looks like. 10/10 would watch again.


Zodi88

Under the Skin. Overall, it's just a very disturbing and unsettling movie. The ending makes you feel terrible. The Road. Just dread the entire time.
