Seriously disturbing movie

This is hand's down the most disturbing movie I have ever seen. I am middle aged, married, and had 3 oversized babies ripped out of me. AND I'm a nurse. I thought I was 100% unshockable, but this knocked the wind out of me. The subject matter is very difficult, to put it mildly. But it was Haley and the lengths she went to in order to utterly torture Jeff, doing things that only a true psychopath would do, and not knowing who was the victim that made this cringe worthy and almost impossible to watch. And yet it was impossible not to watch.

Watched through less experienced eyes I cannot imagine the psychological distress it could cause. This is a movie for very mature audiences only. I am REALLY sorry I watched it. Some things cannot be unseen.

I'm neither things what you described yourself being and I could still watch it... There's many more such movies if you want to see.

I agree completely. I love slasher movies and crime shows, and this movie terrified me so badly that when I rented (yep, back in 2006) the movie, I had to hide the DVD case under something so I couldn't see it.
