    Yeah, this was my pick. The ending sent chills up my spine that are just beginning to warm back up after 20 years.

    Several of those 'Masters of Horror' are quite good. (And many are, ehhh)

    We collect the DVDs whenever we see them, we have most of the set. 'Jennifer' is good as is the one with the heavy guy from Cheers.

    Although not disturbing, I think that 'Abominable' is a hell of a fun ride, especially for a newer film.


    Mikey01 - Thanks for the ten years off my life man! DAMN! Had to snap the lamp on after that!

    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.

    'Cannibal Holocaust' I think is in its own category of messed-upness, what with the animal cruelty and all. I saw it uncut for the first time about 3 years ago, and it fully lives up to it's reputation as one of the most horrific films out there.
    I think it's a really clever, way ahead of it's time film, not just a sleazy disgusting film that is scary by accident. Definitely a challenge.

    I've never seen the Exorcist all the way through. I don't plan to either.
    I know what you mean! Even though I love scary movies and am a dyed-in -the-wool gorehound, I avoided the Exorcist for years, and had never sat through the whole film. I finally watched it a couple of years ago. It's a scary spooky film!

    When I saw it I was 11 I think so that might skew my opinion?
    I had to own it no small feet at the time as it was "illegal" in Canada?
    Not sure why,I mean there were way more graphic films than it out there at the time.
    I just find it hard to believe anybody thought it was real I know it was based off of ed gains but he was around in the 50's not the seventies and he never had a chainsaw?
    It's a film classic for sure I was utterly disappointed with the new remakes.

    Not trying to be judgemental I mean if it is disturbing to you than it is disturbing to you no ifs ands or butts about it.

    I saw the end of Rosemary's Baby recently, having never seen it all the way through. The sight of Clara from Andy Griffith saying "Hail Satan" over and over again was quite disturbing in and of itself.

    I've never seen the Exorcist all the way through. I don't plan to either.

    Carpenter's Prince of Darkness scared the beejeezus out of me. It really disturbed me for a number of weeks after seeing it. I was in my early teens then, and my head was scrambled enough by hormones and such.

    The first true horror movie I ever saw was Carpenter's The Thing. What a way to start out!!!

    All that other slasher crap is just ridiculous and often funny.Or simply ridiculously funny.

    Clemso - Agreed man, that was a doozy. Made me want to toss up and then have a shower the first time I saw it.

    I'm sure that it MUST have been on the 'Video Nasty' list.

    Thats the one. Nary a drop of blood is spilled in the film, but the atmosphere is of utter hopelessness and its very claustrophobic and uncomfortable later in the film. The scene where 'he' is using the plaster...that dialogue and his inflection...VERY dark and unsettling - far more visceral than any silly 'Jason' or 'slasher' crap.

    I think that its a very original film and would like to see it re-done by someone with a talented eye.

    I also love 'Dolls'. But thats a whole different scene, thats just an awesome Stuart Gordon/Charles Band fairy tale.
