The most disturbing horror movie ever?

[Hector]

Never seen it...I just saved it on Netflix too...

Cannibal Holocaust was very tough to watch.

[lepage]

Truth be known, the most distrubing horror film I have ever seen hands down was cannibal Holocaust. That movie really bothered me. It was not a pleasant ride. To me it boarder lined snuff.

The eyeball cutting scene in "Hostel" was pretty disturbing.

Just reading the rundown of the movie made me laugh
The Human Centipede (First Sequence) (2009) - IMDb

That Human Centipede looks like two hours of LOL...




Now I wanna rent it!

The needle in the arm scene toward the end of Requiem is unwatchable.

The original Texas Chainsaw , with the original Psycho and the Exorcist as runners up

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.

Agreed, it disturbed more than any horror movie could. I have a friend who owns it, I never understood why.

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.

Well, I haven't read the book but I did see the movie and it's really brutal. If they did leave anything out, they sure still left enough in..

Just thought I'd mention that "Human Centipede" got a mention on tonight's Halloween episode of "Community" (which was completely awesome, a zombie movie parody set to ABBA music )

[Goblin19]

Don't Look Now's ending is creepy as heck.

[wilbs518]

Henry portrait of a serial killer was pretty disturbing to me.

>I just knew that this thread would be about Human Centipede.

....so did I. Haven't seen it yet, but a guy at work said it's.... well.... odd. If you like weird, disgustipating 80's kinda horror you'd probably like this.

Not for scariness, but for pure shock factor nothing can beat this scene from Exorcist 3

Warning,
Don't watch this if you have a weak heart.

To be fair, it might not have the same effect when separated from the rest of the movie like that.

It reminded me of that shot in The Shining when Shelley Duvall looks down a hallway, and the camera quickly zooms into a room where two men in masks are doing, uh, something very strange. If that makes any sense. Sorry, I can't find the shot - but that shot always use to be very effective - and it uses the zoom and music in a similar way.
