Most disturbing films you have seen

[Seagullsgonnagetya]

The Sound of Music...its more disturbing than Laurie Anderson's "Oh Superman" was to Denis Nilsen with its 'cannot get it out of my head' tunes ....

'The hills are alive with the sound of music
With songs they have sung for a thousand years '

'How do you solve a problem like Maria'

'Edelweiss, Edelweiss
Every morning you greet me
Small and white, clean and bright
You look happy to meet me
Blossom of snow may you bloom and grow
Bloom and grow forever
Edelweiss, Edelweiss
Bless my homeland forever '

'Climb every mountain'

 

[Albion Dan]

Requiem for a Dream.

As drugs movies go it makes Trainspotting look like Mary Poppins.

Ive actually got this film sitting in my dvd collection at home and its been gathering dust for about 4 months, maybe Ill check it out.

 

[Set of Tracksuits]

The Little Mermaid.

Falling hopelessly in love with an animated half-fish half-woman was without doubt the most disturbing experience of my life.

Night of the Demon was another one which left me in a cold sweat. It was an old black and white film about this evil cursed parchment paper. If you were the holder of this parchment on The Night of The Demon, it would come in the night and GET you. So you had to sneakily try to pass it on to someone else before the demon came (you couldn't just throw it away either, cos the demon would come after the last person to have held the parchment).

When the demon was coming, you would hear this faint noise like a wind-chime made of bones, clinking in the night. Then this smokey apparition would appear in front of you, and the demon would float out of it and attack - and it was MASSIVE as well. I just remember the horror on this blokes face when he reached in his pocket and discovers he has the evil parchment on the night the demon was due to come...and in a panic he drops it, the wind whisks it away before he has a chance to palm it on to someone else. As he desperately runs after the parchment paper down a deserted railway line, the clinking noise begins...

*shudder*

 

[Marc]

Pet Cemetary, what was THAT all about....and why was Herman Munster not green? all very confusing!

 

[Icy Gull]

The end of Carrie gave me nightmares but it was ages ago and maybe a bit tame by today's standards

 

[just_bhafc]

Scum, just found it very disturbing.

'Who's the daddy.....?'

It's superb. The last 30 minutes is truly astonishing - horrible to watch, but impossible to look away.

His (Darren Aronofsky's) other film "Pi" is pretty freaky too - kind of Eraserhead for mathmaticians...

 

[lost in london]

Irreversible for me too. The rape scene and the scene in the gay club is horrific. It was an amazing film though.
Braindead was a bit weird as well, had to make my excuses and leave whilst watching that with my mates as I was starting to get a bit freaked out!

 

[London Calling]

Last Exit to Brooklyn.

A film about lowlife, not one nice character.

Sad.

 

[Jambo Seagull]

Chitty Chitty Bang Bang - the bit with Benny Hill and the Childcatcher. Still gives me the creeps.

Rosemary's Baby


Don't look now


Eraserhead. Do NOT watch this when stoned.

 

[Stoaty Ferret]

Seven ... the first time I saw it in the cinema was shocked

Schindlers List though beats them all..

 

[Life After Bobby]

short film about killing

 

[sullyupthewing]

jacobs ladder was easy


bloke gets shot in vietnam war
lays on operating table
he thinks he has been subjected to a C I A experiment with
L S D,
he thinks that his whole life has been ruined by the L S D he has a crap home, crap job, crap relationship,crap life.and sets out to prove he has been f***ed by the C I A


he died on the operating table his whole post war experience just one bad L S D trip

Right I am with you now I think, are you sure it was LSD and not somthing more sinister.

 

[Albion Dan]

I agree with the above but am sure it was something more sinister.

 

[Timbo]

Crash was absurd. I saw a film once that was meant to be about lesbians. It opened with some bird having her head smashed in against a bathroom sink. At least when Vinnie Jones did it in Lock Stock you didn't have close ups and slow motion replays. Can't remember what it was called though.

 

[The Mole]

short film about killing

Have to agree with that.

Another great, but disturbing file - "City of God" - the scene where a member of the gang is ordered to shoot a child quite sickening.

 

[Brovion]

EXCELLENT call Easy on 'Night of the Demon' I saw it when I was quite young and it's the only film ever to give me nightmares. I was trying to find out about it only the other day but I couldn't remember the title. (I'm not sure if I imagined it or not as it was so long ago when I saw it)

 

[Uncle Spielberg]

Eraserhead is a good call and is infact " acid on celluloid ", brilliant.

Eraserhead being his " dream " when his head falls off and a couple of kids pick it up, put it in a vice and drill a small section from his head and put it on the end of a pencil, hence Eraserhead.

Dabid Lynch must have had a bad trip when making this film.
