tkatz Posted February 19, 2004 Share Posted February 19, 2004 Which movie that you have seen has scared/bugged you out the most? After watching the movie Requiem For a Dream I was left depressed, shocked, scared, and perplexed. That movie really had a strong effect on me and that would have to be one of the movies. Another movie would be The Midnight Express. It was so sad and depressing especially the part where the guy masturbates to his wife. That was so unbelieveably sad that I didnt even know what to do. It made me want to tell my girlfriend how much I love her. Lastly 1995's controversial movie KIDS was an eye-opening movie. Being 17 and a bit wild I could relate to many things in the movie and although it scared "adult america" kids in my generation loved the movie.

Riggo-toni Posted February 19, 2004 Share Posted February 19, 2004 Has to be Deliverance or Less than Zero. I don't care what consenting adults do in their own bedrooms. I don't care whether or not homosexuals are allowed to marry. I don't mind a movie that depicts somebody's brains or guts are getting splattered all over the room. But showing 2 men engaged in sexual conduct makes me want to vomit. :puke: Sorry to sound so homophobic, but it's a straight answer (no pun intended).

Tarhog Posted February 19, 2004 Share Posted February 19, 2004 I'd have to say 'Seven'. That movie made me feel 'weird' (I mean more so than usual) for days. How many hollywood movies end with a horrible horrible act? Not many. '12 Monkeys' is another unsettling movie. Watched '28 Days Later' the other night, and that was pretty unnerving as well.

tkatz Posted February 19, 2004 Author Share Posted February 19, 2004 Seven and 28 Days Later are both good choices...Seven left a lasting impression on me b/c I was so shocked with the end result. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Henry Posted February 19, 2004 Share Posted February 19, 2004 1984 with John Hurt was pretty disturbing. Seven was pretty bad too. That's one seriously messed up movie which I will never watch again. Schindler's List has to be up there as well. Still, there are two specific movie scenes that will always haunt me: In Life is Beautiful when Benini's character is carrying his sleeping son through the concentration camp at night, telling him everything is going to be ok, and then he looks up and realizes he's walked up to a mountain of corpses. Many times when I'm carrying my own boy to bed that vision pops into my head. And the scene in Sohpie's Choice, when she makes her choice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tarhog Posted February 19, 2004 Share Posted February 19, 2004 Not to veer off into the horror genre, but I find 'The Exorcist III' to be very disturbing. I can think of a number of scenes that raise the hair on the back of my arms just thinking about them. The cop torture scene in 'Reservoir Dogs' really bothered me as well. I've never watched the rest of the movie, just seemed wrong. Another one, maybe because I've been in a hostile situation, 'Saving Private Ryan', particularly the opening scene, and the scene where the Nazi and the American fight hand to hand in the upstairs room while another soldier is frozen in fear in the stairwell. Very unsettling. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heavy Jumbo Posted February 19, 2004 Share Posted February 19, 2004 Not too big on horror/scary movies, but the scariest I've seen was the Exorcist. I watched it 2 times, and the second time freaked me out more AFTER watching it than actually watching it did the frist time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I still change the station when 'Stuck in the Middle' comes on the radio. I can't believe I forgot that one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EvoSkins Posted February 19, 2004 Share Posted February 19, 2004 I would have to say "The Blair Witch Project". I saw it in a small packed theater in Ocean City and it freaked me out when I saw it for the first time. From the baby noises in the dark to the house ending, the movie was good. Especially at the end where you see guy staring into the corner then the camera hits the ground. The BWP is the best example of marketing at its best. The movie got its press for the internet site and a grassroots campaign. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SkinsBry Posted February 19, 2004 Share Posted February 19, 2004 I just watched The Grey Zone and found that to be a bit disturbing. It's about Jews who were allowed to live better for a few more months in the concentration camps because they gassed and burned the other Jews coming into the camp.

TD_washingtonredskins Posted February 19, 2004 Share Posted February 19, 2004 DKS, I'd agree about the Texas Chainsaw Massacre. I have to say I don't know how it stacks up to the original since I never saw that one. But this one disturbed me a lot. Seven is a good choice too.

All crazy! Mulholland Drive sucked horribly. I watched it at the recommendation of so many... and it was painful. I kept waiting for SOMETHING that was going to turn the movie around.

Burgold Posted February 19, 2004 Share Posted February 19, 2004 Fatal Attraction. I was just finishing my undergraduate and was working at a psychiatric ward. I think that helped. One of the people there as diagnosed "borderline" which is what Glenn Close's character had. Only movie that made me actually scream in a movie house. Cool thing was, after I screamed the whole audience did too. Great, great use of sound to build suspence in that movie. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OrangeSkin Posted February 19, 2004 Share Posted February 19, 2004 I second the people who said Requiem for a Dream and Mulholland Drive. I am rarely upset by a movie and Requiem was deeply disturbing to me. I had trouble sleeping for two weeks straight after I saw it and I've seen it several times since; it never gets less unnerving. That's one of those movies that sticks with you forever and just messes with your head. Something about the score and how the same depressing song kept playing over and over again and the ending leaves absolutely NO ray of hope. The most disturbing movie ever made. Mulholland drive was so whacked out. It was like a bad acid trip. You weren't really sure what it was trying to say but the images presented were so bizarre that they stuck with you for a long time. Betty shooting herself in the head, the old people crawling out of the box, the freaky monster/homeless dude playing with it at the end. The list goes on and on. That flick was just so incredibly atmospheric, I'd see it just on those merits alone. I'd compare it to one of the most captivating pieces of abstract art you've ever seen. And the plot is actually pretty easy to decipher once you've discovered the key to understanding the movie. If you want to really enjoy it, then it's like doing homework. But once you finally get a handle on what it's all about you'll be absolutely blown away by it's brilliance. Another movie that would be damn upsetting to a number of people is Thirteen. I can handle heavy drug use, sex, and self mutilation in a move as long as it's done by adults, not thirteen year old girls. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
visionary Posted February 19, 2004 Share Posted February 19, 2004 Hey what about A Beautiful Mind, that movie was good but somewhat disturbing to say the least. Also Traffic made me very uncomfortable at times. Another one would be Rosemary's Baby...whew. And how about that seen where the guy shoots himself in Dead Poets Society.

tkatz Posted February 19, 2004 Author Share Posted February 19, 2004 Mulholland Drive was not so much a movie about enjoyment but about crazed insanity. That movie is so hard to sum up into words that I am not even going to try. Its just a visual master piece with so much whacked out **** that you will be left with your jaw on the floor. Requiem For a Dream was beautifully done and many movie enthusiasts believe it should have been nominated for an academy award and not Traffic.
