I just knew that this thread would be about Human Centipede. I've been hearing about it for a few months now and I just have to check it out (although I've mostly heard poor reviews about it).
Not really a horror movie, but I thought "Requiem for a Dream" was pretty disturbing. A good film, but I have no desire to see it again. "Irreversible" is a bit disturbing too. And I've heard that much of the camera movements and sounds in that film were done to subliminally make the viewer even more uneasy while watching.
If we can add books to the discussion, by far the most disturbing novel I've read is "The Girl Next Door". Very dark and depressing, I felt like I got punched in the stomach after reading it, and it left me in a bad mood for a couple days. The fact that it was based on a true story makes it even worse. I haven't seen the film adaptation yet, but I'm guessing it's not as bad, there was stuff in the book that would absolutely have to be left out of the film.
