That flick looks strangely intriguing. Would you recommend it? What level of "disturbing" are we dealing with here?

The Excorcist. This movie still scares me.
Plus, anything directed by Michael Bay.

I don't remember it but my mom tells me about a movie she had rented one day called Hancel and Gretel (a kids movie) for me when I was real little. Well she puts it in the VCR (shows how old I am) and then goes out to make lunch. I guess after a little while she just starts hearing me screaming like someone is killing me. There was a scene in the woods where the trees come to life that apparently scared the living hell out of me.

That reminds me of another one.... they are actually both done by the same people. I was looking up Nick Stalh because he was in Terminator and saw he was in this so I decided to watch it last week. It was pretty good. Really messed up but really good. Even worse is that it is a true story. It sort of reminded me of Alpha Dog.

VHS was only popular for about fifteen years before then. Does that mean I'm old?

I am sure there a people around that watch DVDs as little kids.

I still can't bring myself to watch the curb scene from American History X. I've probably seen way worse, but the mere thought of it is enough for me.

Cannibal Holocaust and the old Texas Chainsaw Massacre scared the crap out of me as a kid never start talking to a dentist about the teeth movie.. especially if it is woman... the look of disgust on her face made it hard to tell if she was hurting me on purpose.

Cannibal Holocaust and the old Texas Chainsaw Massacre scared the crap out of me as a kid Teeth is fun, but too comedic to disturb. Nil by Mouth - watched it with 9 friends... we had a 30% walkout rate, due to it touching a nerve. Eden Lake - Mainly a bit of a banal horror, but the ending is grating, and has a ring of truth about it Audition - I couldn't watch the ending Cloverfield - I'm obsessed with NYC. I watched it on the plane to the US, going to visit my fianceé last year, full of missing her - she lived in the Soho district of Manhattan. Result - a tired, emotional and crying Spike.

It was pretty good. Really messed up but really good. Even worse is that it is a true story. It sort of reminded me of Alpha Dog. Speaking of Nick Stahl, how about him getting his balls ripped off in Sin City? Sure, there was only like the black and white silouette, but oof, that makes me cringe to this day. Also, some of the concepts in the movie, well, they can disturb you if you put your mind to it.

Threads - Snow White & the Seven Dwarfs - (Scared the hell out of me when I was 3-4, that damned witch) I take it this is the Disney animated version of the story. I always thought it would be great if someone adapted these fairytales and made it closer to the more disturbing narratives written by the Brothers Grimm. The best part is, despite the fact that Disney has made a niche industry of adapting these stories, they're public domain so you could make a disturbing version of these fairy tales and watch Disney lose their excretory matter since they have no legal recourse and they might have to worry about having they're versions of these stories associated with the more disturbing/less kid friendly versions. A film that really disturbed me would be the 1994 psychological horror film The Paper Boy [url en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Paperboy[/url]Sure, it's not as graphic as I Spit On Your Grave, Last House On The Left, The Audition, etc. But it seriously gives me the douche chills

"Scrooge," the 1970 musical version of "A Christmas Carol" starring Albert Finney. Honestly, 98% of the film is great, provided that you like movie musicals that sound vaguely like "Oliver." It all comes down to one scene.
In the original version of the film, Scrooge falls through his grave, only to wind up in Hell. He then meets up with Marley, who basically tells him that Satan is a fan of "work." Because of this, he devised a brand new punishment just for him. For all of eternity, Scrooge must work in a sub-zero temperatures in a room that looks like his office, surrounded by rats. Marley then tells Scrooge that his new "office" is officially the coldest place in Hell.
Personally, I think the scene is awesome in a dark, twisted way. Sir Alec Guinness' sarcastic, tongue-in-cheek portrayal of Marley just adds to it. Unfortunately, it seems as if I'm in the minority, as the scene has been edited out of many versions of the films. What replaces it, however, is much more horrifying.
During the Ghost of Christmas Present segment, Tiny Tim sings an incredibly downbeat song about the joys of being alive. In order fill the space left empty by Scrooge's trip to the Underworld, the song is played again later on in the movie. This time around, you don't see Tiny Tim. You see a graveyard. Not a set, mind you, an actual graveyard. There aren't any actors in the scene, either. It's just shot after shot of a well cared for cemetery.The song also has a slight echo to it, making an already downbeat song downright depressing. Oddly enough, I have never seen an edit of the movie that have contained both scenes. It's either one or the other.
To this day, I cannot watch that scene. I have to leave the room until I'm told that either a) the song is over or b) that it has been edited out.

Arlington Road - not disturbing in the way many of these other movies are. But in the way of how easy it was for Tim Robbins and Joan Cusack's characters to completley cover their tracks and blame everything on Kurt Russell.

Cannibal Holocaust is not a movie. It's an endurance test.

An Andalusian Dog. Anyone who's actually seen it will know why. Is that the movie with the razor slicing through a human eye?
