Most disturbing/unsettling movie scene you've seen
I watched Jaws today and I'm still going to go with the opening scene with the woman getting attacked. And then it's dead quiet...
shareGummo (1997) A very uncomfortable movie to watch.

Antichrist (2009) snipping scene stuck with me.
Also the ending of À l'intérieur/Inside (2007) was harsh.
Last half of a Serbian film, not so much for the content, which was horrible, just how hopeless it was.
The curb stomp scene in American History X
Argh the curb stomp 😫
Yeah that was hardcore.
The TOP FIVE LIST:
5. Jaws - A tie between the opening scene and when the diver sees the head in the sunken boat
4. Trainspotting - when the guy "dives" into the toilet!
3. Freaks - when they all close in on the woman, and she becomes.....?
2. Eraserhead - when the woman gives birth to that thing, and then later when she stepping on those little "things".
AND FINALLY:
#1 Un chien andalou - when the eye gets slit!

Freaks was unbelievably gritty and twisted for its time. It's still kind of disturbing here in 2020. I can't imagine what people in the 1930s thought! Back then, horror usually meant cartoonish stuff like Karloff's Frankenstein.
I can see why it badly hurt director Browning's career.
Yes is was!

Joseph Gordon Levitt getting raped in Mysterious Skin. That movie just has a whole bunch of unsettling scenes in general.
shareThe dead baby in the crib in Trainspotting, and the
discovering of Rita's corpse in Mulholland Drive.
There were a few ones in Black Swan and The Sixth Sense as well. The head stomping in Irreversible and the murder in Heavenly Creatures are disturbing, but I haven't seen those movies (only the scenes in question).
Heavenly Creatures is a good choice, the murder is particularly gruesome when you watch the film, up to that point it’s a mix of fantasy and drama. Even though you know it’s coming you don’t expect it to be that brutal. I’d recommend watching the whole film. Peter Jackson did a beautiful job with it.
