Please Recommend other disturbing movies.

I am planning to watch something like 10 disturbing horror movies. Starting with somewhat mild , the ultimate goal is to finally watch the most disturbing movie and from what I've heard so far is "Cannibal Holocaust".

so my list is

10 Antichrist (Seen)
9 Paranormal Activity (Seen)
8 Saw (Seen) don't know which parts
7 Cannibal Holocaust (Seen)
6 A Serbian Film (Seen)
5 Megan is Missing (Seen)
4 Martyrs (Seen)
3 Hostel 1&2 (Seen)

so please give your suggestions of what 7 other movies to fill in between my list.

Thank you.

Not really disturbing for me :
Seven , Old boy , Cabin Fever , Eden Lake, Irreversible , Begotten , Wolf Creek

EDIT - After watching "A Serbian Film" after 1.5 yrs after planning on watching disturbing movies, I think my rankings do not make sense & I am giving up on specially looking out to watch disturbing movies.

Hostel 2 made the most lasting impact on me as it was the first movie I saw that was different and disturbing than most of the regular movies I usually watched.
But recently watched movies like "Cannibal Holocaust" & "A Serbian Film" didn't impact much may be because I got used to these movies & was prepared what to expect. So Thanks people.

Family Portraits: A Trilogy Of America
Salo, Or the 120 Days Of Sodom
Subconscious Cruelty
August Underground
The Last House On Dead End Street
I Spit On Your Grave (Meir Zarchi's 1978 film, haven't seen the remake yet)
Aftermath

I'd also suggest getting rid of Saw and the Hostel films, replacing them with something like Man Bites Dog, and maybe Visitor Q.

doomed megalopolis both versions
a serbian film

sorry for bringing these to your attention haha i regret seeing these violent disturbing films but they make your movies look like willy wonka.

A Serbian Film - Really well made, I enjoyed it, although I think they went too far with the children in this one, if you see the unrated version, prepare it to rape your mind... seriously. It's not that it's extremely raw, it just mindfµcks you in a way I didn't think was possible, 'Dat ending...

Niku Daruma - Probably the most realistic and rawest thing to date, first half porn, 2nd half über-realistic torture/rape, not for the weak stomachs, really the only reason to see this is to have seen the most extreme sh!t out there.

August Underground series - All in all kind of bad movies albeit well made wannabe snuffs, disgusting as fµck, 2nd one is off the charts.

Guinea Pig series - The first two films are mondo-inspired fake documentaries painstakingly shot and edited to resemble snuff films, the other ones are just classic Japanese exploitation gore-horror, these are well made but has nothing on either Cannibal Holocaust or A Serbian Film in my opinion.

Even a broken clock is right twice a day.

Try the 2 Nekromantik movies, Schramm (sp?) and Ilsa She Wolf of the SS.

[–] Tayte 14 years ago

Thanks for your posts every one .

I'm gonna try out A Serbian film some day.
As for the Nekromantic movies , I don't think I'll watch that , I don't like that theme. I hope that movie is not serious about its story.

[–] RichBoorman 14 years ago

The Nekromantik films are definitely not something i'd recommend, other than for disturbing/shock value. I saw them years ago, and have no desire to see them again.

Men Behind the Sun is another that might fit, and maybe Cannibal Ferox as a partner to Holocaust.

Also, i'd drop Saw and put in Wolf Creek. It might not be as visually explicit with the gore, but what's implied is way beyond (for me, at least). Without giving too much away (in case you havent seen it), the phrase "head on a stick" stayed with me for ages. I'd also drop Hostel and put in Schramm.

May also be worth checking out some of Jim Van Bebber's movies. I haven't seen them, but Roadkill/My Sweet Satan are 2 short movies usually packaged together that have a bit of a reputation. Entrails of a Virgin (aka Entrails Ripped From a Virgin's *beep* is also reputed to be pretty nasty.

Or how about Eraserhead and The Cabinet of Dr Caligari for some retro disturbia? At this rate, you might have to make it 20 instead of 10 movies.

I watched "Begotten" this week, but somehow it wasn't the kind of movie I'd like.
Its definitely weird but not much disturbing.

Ill try If I can get Eraserhead just because its a Lynch movie.

Haven't heard your other movies, but If i can I'll check out Wolf Creek for now.

[–] andrelookalike 14 years ago

I suggest Deadgirl be put on your list. It's not a gore or slasher film, but it'll definately make you say wtf lol.

[–] Illyngophobia 14 years ago

- Slaughtered Vomit Dolls - Re-GORE-gitated Sacrifice - Slow Torture Puke Chamber (aka the Vomit Gore trilogy)

"I'll go,because I am Cinema!" - Ben (Man Bites Dog)

I don't know where on your list, but I heard August Underground and Human Centipede are pretty disturbing.
It's like being inside a dream or something.. There's truth, but no logic.

[–] The-Bibb 14 years ago

The Remake Of I Spit On Your grave is pretty disturbing.. And Its Available at Wal-Mart as of last week (Its like im a spokesman for them or something haha).. should be easy to get yer hands on that one.. Check out Cannibal Ferox and Philosophy Of A Knife, and Hitch-Hike as well.. Serbian Film Takes The Cake though.. Wow what a film!!!
