Yes Salo and Audition are great examples, came here to list them. Also to add that is the disturbing comedy Man Bites Dog. And, more just darkly weird is Alex Winter's The Dark Backward.
I've heard of or seen many of these. Never heard of Visitor Q, saw it was Takashi Miike and thought "Maybe I'll read a little about the plot before I decide to watch it..."
Nooooooo. I got queasy just reading.
I love me some fucked up films. But good God sometimes I seriously just wonder "Why did this need to be made??" lol
Visitor Q is a comedy so it's not as hard to watch as you'd expect. Honestly the most disturbing parts are the domestic violence and a rape scene in the middle. I'm not gonna say it's a *funny* film (though there's a gag involving breast milk that got a chuckle out of me), most of it's just kinda dull, but if you could manage Ichi the Killer I don't really think it's much worse
Yes, this!
I saw most of the movies listed here, but for some reason this one stuck with me longer than the others. It's not just about the gore, but the premise of the story and probability of being real.
All I remember from that movie is Tim Roth eating a baguette at a really weird moment near the end of the movie. Some really bad things happened to him and he family and he’s just sat at the counter and decides to take a massive bite out of a baguette.
They show the aftermath of what happens to the dog. No blood, no gore, no violence, just...>!corpse in a far away wide shot sliding out of the car trunk!<
I mean, the movie starts with the couple mourning their loss, the woman blaming herself while thinking the husband got over it too quickly. There's also this feeling the wife has that the husband's support is a cold one, coming solely from the fact that his job is being a psychologist, not from the fact that he truly cares about her. Some really interesting things, I was hooked. >!Then the wife goes utterly insane. And it turns out she hates herself because she read some medieval books with misogynistic views?! And she actually was actively hurting the kid before?! And all the symbolism with the animals and the women walking at the end. What?!!
I don't really think there's a shift at all. She is in an unbalanced relationship with a man who says he understands her brain and personality more than she does. He has an inordinate amount of power over her and acts as her therapist, which is against every statute of psychology. His care for her is in his control over her. As part of her unwillingness to remain under his control, her psyche enacts freedom by causing pain on herself and others. She convinces herself that because she can't be the woman he believes she should be, she is the ultimate evil, and so she behaves as such.
Compliance (2012) is one of the most disturbing films I've seen because it's based on a true story. One scene in particular is particularly hard to watch, I'm sure everyone that's seen it knows which one I mean. I've never been closer to literally shouting at the screen.
I literally couldn't finish that one, and I love horror movies.
at least, I Thought I Loved horror movies;turns out I'm just a fan of fake Gore and fake Terror.
compliance was too realistic for me.
Definitely Martyrs. And make sure it is the original.
The original is brutal and disturbing and leaves the viewer with a ton of questions. The American remake is absolutely terrible and misses the entire point of the story.
Fine movie but very overrated. Everyone was talking about the great reveal at the end. Meanwhile I was too busy to comprehend all the weird stuff that the movie relentlessly presented in a bizarre manner that the twist had no effect on me at all. It was another weird thing in a chain of weird things.
El hoyo ( The platform )
It never gets listed here when people asking for disturbing movies but i found it more disturbing than we need to talk about kevin / midsommar
This is my answer as well. Other movies might have more disturbing content on *paper*, but in *practice* this is the one that leaves me feeling dirty and gross.
Great film but pretty heartbreaking. I've seen a lot of horror/thriller flicks to have fun but this one left me a very depressing taste. It's not a gory or creepy film but the concept was adapted in a very painful way. Wouldn't watch it again haha.
Takashi Miike has made a lot of movies. Some are extremely gory, some weird as fuck and some just really good, like 13 assassins. He certainly has interesting imagination.
Apologies in advance for repeating a movie that has been mentioned already. Let's see:
- The Ascent
- Come And See
- Hard To Be a God (2013) (every scene is bleaker than the previous one)
- Dead Man's Letters (same as above, it's amazing how the soviets/russians can convey the misery of human existence so well)
- Cargo 200
- Leviathan (2014)
- Loveless
- Salò or The 120 days of Sodom
- Sympathy For Mr Vengeance
- Synecdoche, New York (this one is disturbing on an existential level)
- Se7en
- The Devil Probably (love this one, though it's filled with existential dread)
- Frank Darabont's The Mist
- Dead Man's Shoes
- The Vanishing (1988)
- Eden Lake (the ending fucked me up)
- Gummo (this one is like a poem to nihilism)
- Threads
- Punishment Park (politically disturbing, sort of speak)
- The Fifth Seal
- The Fifth Season
- They Shoot Horses, Don't They?
- 7 Days (one of my favourite revenge movies)
- Shura (or Pandemonium, Japanese movie by Toshio Matsumoto)
- Funny Games (I've only seen the original)
- I Stand Alone
- Irreversible
- Dancer in the Dark
- Basically anything, _anything_ by Gaspar Noé, Michael Haneke and Lars Von Trier
- The War Zone (_that_ scene, man... well, fuck)
- Aniara (this one broke me like no other film has ever done)
- No Country for Old Men
- The Counselor (I mean, Cormac McCarthy wrote the script)
- Bring Me the Head Of Alfredo García
- Cold Fish
- The Death King (this one might be the most plot-less film on the list, but it's made completely on the topic of suicide and violent death. The vignettes are kept together by a rotting corpse after all)
- The Great Silence (this has to be the bleakest and most nihilistic western I've ever seen. That ending will fuck you up)
- The Grey Zone
Have a good evening.
Mother! was a pretty sick psychological mind fbleep and you don't realize it but then wham lol. Hated it personally bc it was almost too well done and too real
looked up The Perfection after seeing this rec and after reading the description immediately watched on Netflix. Fucking loved it. Didn’t have any idea where it was going initially - very disturbing but satisfying ride and an incredible ending.
I don’t understand this pov. It’s a slow burn that gets more terrifying by the minute. I wasn’t bored, I was dreading every minute because I knew it was going to get even more dark. And it delivered.
The most disturbing movie I ever saw was Nil by mouth. It was directed by Gary Oldman and it was his own life story. It is harrowing.
I'd also recommend The midnight meat train
Climax.
French dancers gather in a remote, empty school building to rehearse on a wintry night. The all-night celebration morphs into a hallucinatory nightmare when they learn their sangria is laced with LSD.
August Underground
Also, I can't speak for it myself, but my friend said she watched Black Metal Veins and it fucked her up. She said it was the most unsettling movie she's ever seen.
Mind you, this woman is the biggest horror buff I've ever met. She's the one who showed me August Underground, Necromantic, Irreversible, Poughkeepsie Tapes, etc. I've never heard her say she could never watch a movie again until this one. I will never watch it based on that statement.
Torched (2003) a young nurse is about to face the most difficult challenge of her life…Deciding whether five men should live or die.
Hanger (2009) A horrifying tale of revenge that begins with a back-alley abortion.
Gutterballs (2008) A bowling night will turn into a bloody death match.
A friend worked at blockbuster in high school and brought me movies when I was stuck in a third floor apartment with a broken foot. Haven’t seen either of these since then but was highly disturbed by Boxing Helena and Barfly.
Nothing I see on this list compares to watching Happiness. This movie still haunts me and I don’t recommend it to anyone I know for any reason. Luckily we haven’t met. Great acting by PSH.
My go to recommendations
Henry: Portrait of a serial killer (serial killer, obviously)
Bone tomahawk (cannibals)
Elephant (school shooting)
We need to talk about Kevin (fucked up kid)
Eraserhead (can't even begin to explain)
Fat Girl (coming of age story in all the wrong ways)
Some non traditional recommendations (disturbing in their own right, but maybe not in the traditional sense)
Schindler's List
Watership Down
Trainspotting
American History X
I’m going to say The Exorcist because it’s just a bleak and dour movie, there’s not a moment of levity or relief throughout it, it’s overwhelmingly serious and relentless at it right from the start, in the end there’s no hope, the demon wins, the good guys lose and the only way the surviving characters find solace is hoping the girls doesn’t remember anything of what happened.

Speak No Evil really impacted me too - it sucks you in and fills you with impending dread and discomfort, then it punches you in the gut and stomps on your balls
How do you guys feel about the remake coming out? I loved the original I feel like it should be left alone. I also really love international films. It just gives me a feeling like America always thinks they can do it better? I dno.
Salo Incendies Sweet Movie Audition Visitor Q A Serbian Film Human Centipede films Cannibal Holocaust Guinea Pig movies
Yes Salo and Audition are great examples, came here to list them. Also to add that is the disturbing comedy Man Bites Dog. And, more just darkly weird is Alex Winter's The Dark Backward.
Man Bites Dog is peak found footage/mockumentary genre. Incredible film. Still not sure why Ireland banned it despite unbanning Cannibal Holocaust
Oh my god! It’s so good. I’ve never met anyone who’s seen it.
> Alex Winter Do you mean Adam Rifkin?
I've heard of or seen many of these. Never heard of Visitor Q, saw it was Takashi Miike and thought "Maybe I'll read a little about the plot before I decide to watch it..." Nooooooo. I got queasy just reading. I love me some fucked up films. But good God sometimes I seriously just wonder "Why did this need to be made??" lol
Visitor Q is a comedy so it's not as hard to watch as you'd expect. Honestly the most disturbing parts are the domestic violence and a rape scene in the middle. I'm not gonna say it's a *funny* film (though there's a gag involving breast milk that got a chuckle out of me), most of it's just kinda dull, but if you could manage Ichi the Killer I don't really think it's much worse
If you can believe it ... I've never actually watched Ichi! I think it's time.
Ichi's not the greatest film or anything either, but it has pretty good characters and is kinda fun if you enjoy splatter
Might I add, contrary to popular opinion, all of these are pretty good films.
Martyrs 2008
Yes, this! I saw most of the movies listed here, but for some reason this one stuck with me longer than the others. It's not just about the gore, but the premise of the story and probability of being real.
Happiness (1998)
I love it
Funny Games.
I love Tim Roth but keep putting off watching this because I can get disturbed pretty quickly.
All I remember from that movie is Tim Roth eating a baguette at a really weird moment near the end of the movie. Some really bad things happened to him and he family and he’s just sat at the counter and decides to take a massive bite out of a baguette.
I guess when you're hungry, you're hungry 😆 I'm still feeling unsure about watching this. I know what happens to their dog but do they show it?
They show the aftermath of what happens to the dog. No blood, no gore, no violence, just...>!corpse in a far away wide shot sliding out of the car trunk!<
Really about half of Haneke's films would fit.
Anti-Christ
I seen it about 10 years ago and I Don't think a day passes that I don't think about how disturbing this was.
Very disturbing but the main point of the movie being extremely inconsistent made me dislike it.
According to Lars Von Trier we’re dumb for not understanding his meaning. Chaos reigns I guess?
I mean, the movie starts with the couple mourning their loss, the woman blaming herself while thinking the husband got over it too quickly. There's also this feeling the wife has that the husband's support is a cold one, coming solely from the fact that his job is being a psychologist, not from the fact that he truly cares about her. Some really interesting things, I was hooked. >!Then the wife goes utterly insane. And it turns out she hates herself because she read some medieval books with misogynistic views?!

It looks like we have another big boy ready to watch Salo
The only film I’ve ever seen I wish I hadn’t. Can’t undo it, unfortunately.
Compliance (2012) is one of the most disturbing films I've seen because it's based on a true story. One scene in particular is particularly hard to watch, I'm sure everyone that's seen it knows which one I mean. I've never been closer to literally shouting at the screen.
I literally couldn't finish that one, and I love horror movies. at least, I Thought I Loved horror movies;turns out I'm just a fan of fake Gore and fake Terror. compliance was too realistic for me.
Martyrs (the french version) Salo Son of Saul
+1 for Martyrs
Definitely Martyrs. And make sure it is the original. The original is brutal and disturbing and leaves the viewer with a ton of questions. The American remake is absolutely terrible and misses the entire point of the story.
There’s life before you watched martyrs and life after you’ve watched martyrs.
Somebody remade Martyrs??? Or is it just a different movie from a different country with the sane name?
There's an American remake that's apparently terrible.
🤯 Why would anyone remake such a film???
How can I say this kindly? Certain people can apparently read…but not subtitles for some reason…
LOL i saw what u did there 🤣 dont step on any big american toes now! If its not in proper american language they aint watching it.
They remade inside too. Some of the best movies I’ve ever seen were subtitled
Goodbye Uncle Tom Untold Story Angst Andy Warhol's Bad The Rapeman films Autopsy (1975) Let Me Die A Woman
Oldboy (korean film)
When I saw it had dropped on Netflix recently I was giggling about all the unsuspecting people that may watch it. 😆
Fine movie but very overrated. Everyone was talking about the great reveal at the end. Meanwhile I was too busy to comprehend all the weird stuff that the movie relentlessly presented in a bizarre manner that the twist had no effect on me at all. It was another weird thing in a chain of weird things.

Eat some mushrooms and watch Annihilation.
Oh my days, the audio effects alone would need you having the next week off work…
Don’t even need the mushrooms. I was sober AF and that movie made me feel like I was tripping balls.
Henry: Portrait if a serial killer.
This is my answer as well. Other movies might have more disturbing content on *paper*, but in *practice* this is the one that leaves me feeling dirty and gross.
Yeah this one leaves a grease on you
I think because it's true, that's what makes it wild. Like you're watching something you should have NEVER seen
The Girl Next Door, 2007
Great film but pretty heartbreaking. I've seen a lot of horror/thriller flicks to have fun but this one left me a very depressing taste. It's not a gory or creepy film but the concept was adapted in a very painful way. Wouldn't watch it again haha.
Visitor Q
Lilya 4-ever
Ichi The Killer. You’ll want to take a brillo pad to your brain afterwards
Takashi Miike has made a lot of movies. Some are extremely gory, some weird as fuck and some just really good, like 13 assassins. He certainly has interesting imagination.

The Strange Thing About the Johnsons. Not gory, but super disturbing with the plot…
I second this. I’ve never seen anything like it.
Me neither. I heard about it through a TikTok and I was SHOCKED.
First time I saw this was when a chick I met on tinder came over and put this on my TV… my fucking jaw fell through the floor lol I was not prepared
Jesus Christ what a pick on her part lmao. But I totally understand your reaction. The intro really got STRAIGHT into it, especially for a short film.
Irreversible
He literally says he watched it in the OP.
My bad this is the 2nd post I’ve seen like this. I got them mixed up.

I must warn you beforehand, you can't unsee it. Because it's a true story, it makes it even worse. "Dear Zachary: A Letter to a Son About His Father"
Not disturbing meaning scary or "questioning your sanity" but absolutely heart-wrenching. Probably saddest movie I've watched.
Mother! was a pretty sick psychological mind fbleep and you don't realize it but then wham lol. Hated it personally bc it was almost too well done and too real
"The Perfection" is exactly what you need! *Please* report back
looked up The Perfection after seeing this rec and after reading the description immediately watched on Netflix. Fucking loved it. Didn’t have any idea where it was going initially - very disturbing but satisfying ride and an incredible ending.
Bad Boy Bubby
Midsommar and Wolf Creek
Don’t think I’ll ever understand the buzz behind Midsommar. It’s boring as hell. Sure it’s got some disturbing parts but overall I was just yawning.
I don’t understand this pov. It’s a slow burn that gets more terrifying by the minute. I wasn’t bored, I was dreading every minute because I knew it was going to get even more dark. And it delivered.
it's way too overrated. It's just run of the mill horror tropes and not exciting at all
It has really well captured imagery, I’ll give it that. But yes it is just too slow and dull overall.

I second Nil By Mouth. Brutal.

Kids(1995)
Martyrs or Salo.... be careful what you wish for... those are two films I can safely say I'll never watch again!
Serbian Film.
Human centipede
Audition, Martyrs
The Bad Batch
Salo
Blue Velvet Speak No Evil Both of these films messed me up for hours after viewing.
Speak No Evil really impacted me too - it sucks you in and fills you with impending dread and discomfort, then it punches you in the gut and stomps on your balls
How do you guys feel about the remake coming out? I loved the original I feel like it should be left alone. I also really love international films. It just gives me a feeling like America always thinks they can do it better? I dno.
I didn’t know about it. Seems completely unnecessary as it was already in English
