requiem for a dream
a serbian film was another if im remembering right

Midsommar

Movie was rough. Images burned into my mind forever D:

attack on titan live action

All those Mary Kate and Ashley Olsen movies. GROWN ASS ADULTS who worked their asses off to get college degrees had to write scripts for them and work 16 hour days on set to make them. People actually auditioned to act in them and called their parents to proudly tell them they finally got an acting gig, and then acted in them. Truly disturbing.

Hard to point at just one, but Candyman and The Babadook are certainly up there in my list.

Alice by Jan Svankmaier

Threads. It will kill any romanticism you may have over a nuclear apocalypse. Sorry, Fallout fans.

The Human Centipede, obviously!

Eraserhead comes to mind - for that matter, so does Blue Velvet. That Lynch, he's just a disturbing fellah.

Irreversible

I Saw the Devil

I think the only movie I still think about sometimes is Martyrs

"6th sense" made me scared of windows (physical ones, not digital) behind which someone can stand and see through from the other side, staring menacingly for couple years as a child.

i don't really get disturbed by films but the last one that left me feeling unsettled was You Were Never Really Here. great use of empty space and long-shots to illustrate menace.

Yall are making great suggestions. I'm still scared to watch A Serbian Film, though I've been meaning to watch it for a while, that and Salo. Not scared scared, more scared I will hate the experience and feel terrible. I gotta say Nekromantik is up there but it's terrible. The 80s blob really traumatized me as a kid. Funny Games was a mindfuck when I first saw it., changed the way I think of horror movies. I'm so desensitized now.I think a recent one I saw that was good and disturbing is The Living and The Dead.

A Serbian Film 2010

The problem with things like Human Centipede and Serbian Film is that, going into it, you know it's going to be a rough watch. The ones that really disturb you are the ones that sneak up on you, the films you put on with no idea of it being a mind twist psychological horror.

To that end, I implore you to not just assume I'm being a troll or giving a funny answer. If you think you can handle disturbing films, then from the lens of an adult, I challenge you to watch the Postman Pat movie.

"ohh, ho ho, what a edgy subversive answer, suggesting a kids film is disturbing, lol, time to disregard this comment and move on"
Except. You'd be wrong to think that.

I put this on for my daughter once a few years back and made the mistake of half watching it while browsing on my phone. Dear God, this movie. Not in the "it's for kids, so it's mind rotting" kind of way, but genuinely, some of the twists and plot points along the story really made me stop and think and react like that time Ross Noble tried to translate English-French into English-English with a bit of French and his brain just tied itself in a knot and shut down.

But hey, anyone who is into disturbing films could watch it themselves. But they wont. They'll just want someone to either tell them exactly whats so weird about it, or they'll just ignore it and never watch it.

It's less than an hour and a half long. I challenge anyone who thinks they are either a) a tough guy/gal or b) a film fan, to give it a watch and report back here.

I gotta say Pier Paolo Pasolinis 1975 Salo, or the 120 Days of Sodom, just keep in mind it's an old movie so you'll have to forgive it some of it quirks.
Then there is Pascal Laugiers 2008 Martyrs, really nasty piece of work. There's a few other films out there with similar/same name, don't mix them up.

On a side not 'd like to promote the wonderfully weird Bad Biology, the movie that finally pushed me over the edge to have nothing but contempt for the entire worlds population of humans.
I get it, a couple of friends siting late up one night drinking having a laugh - they could come up with something this bad. I even get that one of them thought it was so funny he/she wrote it down. But then I sorta lose track of how the fuck they were thinking.
Actually peddling the script?! Man, that's just idiotic. Someone reading the script and thinking, Yes, finally! This is where I'll invest my money and time!... That must require special stupid on a scale I cannot even fathom...
That being said, the movie is sooooooo bad it ends up being funny instead. But don't say I didn't warn you if really don't like it - I take no responsibility for getting those 84 minutes back into your life - they're gone because you chose to watch this. ;-)

There are a few but movies about computer hackers and politics are up there for me (Snowden, Vice, The Big Short, etc). Horror and thriller movies too obviously.
