What's the most disturbing film you've seen?

Has anyone else seen Seconds by John Frankenheimer,released in 1966 one of the most disturbing and strangest films Ive ever seen

That film's straight-up creepy. Weird music, titles, sound, plot, tone, ending... I watched it in the early hours on a night shift and it freaked me out.

I rather liked Jacob's Ladder, btw. In fact, I couldn't take my eyes off it, especially in the vets' hospital sequence.

Not the most disturbing, but pretty disturbing nevertheless:
Lynch's "Fire Walk With Me" comes as close to a [waking] nightmare as I've ever seen captured on film... Very, very unsettling.

 

[Dead Cat Bounce]

I'd forgotten about that one.

The scene with Laura and her dad sat in a stationary car reving the engine at the traffic lights always made me feel a little uncomfortable.

Maybe others don't think they were particularly disturbing, but Saw and American Psycho (to name two off the top of my head - erm, no pun intended), rattled me quite a bit.

But I enjoyed them nonetheless

The War Zone. Really, really, dark film about incest. I wanted to just keep taking showers after watching it, or curl up and think about anything else.

It is a beautifully made film, stunning photography, but unrelentingly grim. Tim Roth's only work as a director, guess he just had one thing he clearly wanted to say...

'Ghosts Of The Civil Dead' is pretty heavy as I recall.

A Spanish horror film called La Cabine (the Telephone Box). It's about a guy who
gets locked in a 'phone box and can't get out, and eventually gets taken to a depot full of other people, many of them dead, who also couldn't get out.

Terrifying.

Remember this one. Very dark!
