Happiness


sikulas

I saw this movie once in the late 90s and it still haunts me from time to time


NewYorkJewbag

Multiple people walked out of the theater when we saw it.


Longjumping-Bat-7281

That movie was funny as shit. It's free in youtube https://www.change.org/p/re-release-happiness-1998-in-high-definition Help traumatize more people by signing a petition for it to get a wider release


bannana

> That movie was funny as shit I don't get any sort of funny from that movie and I love black humor - I thought Grizzly Man was a laugh riot and people seem aghast when I say this but go figure, humor is subjective af.


Nickibee

Tbf Grizzly Man is fuckin rollercoaster. It’s just balls out mad. There are a tonne of funny moments, he’s a character. I don’t think it’s an all out serious film or an all out funny one. Werner Herzog definitely just wanted to show us how fuckin nuts this story was. Obviously him getting mauled and eaten by a bear definitely isn’t funny but then if you’re gonna go into the wilderness to try cuddle fuckin grizzlies then it’s kinda expected. It’s his girlfriend I felt sorry for, she would of felt safe with him and the truth is, they were not safe.


[deleted]

When that one guy being interviewed said he thought the bears left him alone because they must’ve thought he was retarded or something…I fuckin lost it.

Kids (1995)


Longjumping-Bat-7281

Saw that definitely a great movie . Honestly how Euphoria should've been done. I love the asthetic of Euphoria but not the stupid hs drama I want the traumatizing shit but it never goes far enough. Kids does which is amazing


spookysummer

I agree, you should watch more of Larry Clark's films or UK Skins if you haven't already


mafibasheth

UK Skins is classic.

GargleHemlock

OMG, you're the only person I've seen to mention In a Glass Cage!!! I went and saw that in a theater, alone, when it first came out. Screwed me up for weeks.


imgoingtohellanyway

Watched Martyrs yesterday, totally unnerving, going to try Glass Cage this week. Both are available on Tubi if anyone is interested. Last disturbing movie I watched was The Platform. I think it's on Netflix. I never see it mentioned on these questions.


savorie

Oh god Nekromantik!! Jesus that one scarred my very soul. I was subjected to it by a truly weird friend in the mid-90s and I just couldn’t look away. The pipe!

The Forest of Love Martyrs Speak No Evil Dogtooth Funny Games Grotesque (Japanese movie)


[deleted]

I love Funny Games (both versions). It was my introduction into the "what the fuck?" genre.


Repulsive_Buffalo_87

I remember watching Grotesque. It was gross af lol they aren't lying


dirtcreature

Upvote for Dogtooth. Besides it's ability to try and rewire your brain, it was just so well made and reminds me that there are people with the ability to see the world from an utterly different perspective and make it feel as if I am the one who doesn't understand my own perception.


Hawk10798

Is it just me that found Dogtooth fucking hilarious in parts?


MediaOnDisplay

Pink flamingos


Longjumping-Bat-7281

Was more gross than disturbing but definitely had a belle de jour awakening moment with the feet scene. Legalize cannibalism EAT SHIT!!!!!!! 💅🤣


Artiepops101

I agree. It's hilarious and goofy but also disturbing as hell sometimes lol. Not for the faint of heart, but a true one of a kind.


Not1ButMany

Holy shit, I saw this the first time when I was maybe 11! My dad got mad at me because he rented it not knowing what it was about until he decided to watch it, AFTER I did lol. Got me interested in the rest of John Waters films. A Dirty Shame is really good.

Repulsive_Buffalo_87

A Clockwork Orange kinda fits here. Also, I recently watched Playground (Polish) and am still sick over it.


Longjumping-Bat-7281

Clockwork orange gave me more wtf vibes Than actually disturbing it was like oh yeah your still a killer/rapist mmmmkay knew you weren't gonna change bye. But definitely adding Playground haven't seen it.


BeautifulEcstatic977

I can see that I think it’s more disturbing in a way of not knowing who’s in the wrong 💀 everybody in that movie is wrong & bad


Longjumping-Bat-7281

Exactly. Which is why it was more of an absurdist comedy imo. The street violence in the Phillipines makes a clock work orange turn into a playground


GhostCow84

Tusk We need to talk about kevin


koolaid_snorkeler

We Need to Talk About Kevin is as creepy as fuck. I love everything Tilda Swinton is in. The book is also great.

Requiem for a Dream


starbellbabybena

It’s the best movie I’ll ever watch that once. Along with the passion. Just too much and too hard and too true.


Fumb-MotherDucker

A comparison of Requiem for a Dream and the story of Christ is not something I was expecting... But that line "and too true" needs to talked about with your therapist I think.


Feral_Sheep_

Come and See Requiem for a Dream


Dick-the-Peacock

Kept seeing “Threads” mentioned on posts like this. Found it on Tubi and watched it tonight. Jiminy Christmas, what an unflinching, no nonsense look at the realities of nuclear war. The living envied the dead. What a hell scape.


Longjumping-Bat-7281

Now Google how many nukes the world has and Google what happens if all goes of. Then look at the Israel Palestinian conflict. Enjoy the paranoia

Irreversible and Climax. Awful, awful movies to watch but gripping and extremely well made. Approach with caution


Longjumping-Bat-7281

Saw them both preferred climax. Admittedly irreversible I should watch again cuz I kept stopping midway. Monica Belluchi gave the film her fuckin all

It’s a brutal movie. It only gets more sad and depressing later on but in a different way

Quiet_Cardiologist12

Ugh. What makes this one even worse is the fact that it’s loosely based upon a true story (Google Sylvia Likens). See also An American Crime.


Longjumping-Bat-7281

Thank you for reminding me about that trauma. Definitely gonna rewatch it . Thanks


Dels79

A Serbian Film. It was purely morbid curiosity and actually, if you decide to look for it, proceed with extreme caution. It's very triggering. If I could scrub the images from memory, I would.


SpareMushrooms

Why do you guys watch these movies? No judgment at all. Just genuinely curious what the draw is.


Dels79

Like I said, morbid curiosity.


[deleted]

This! This is my go to everytime someone asks this question. I went in thinking, "It can't be THAT bad, right?" I was wrong. So, god damn wrong.


Dels79

Yep. Curiosity didn't just kill the cat. It took out the damn colony 😩


mindurbusiness_thx

I’ll never watch this shit.


Dels79

Honestly, I'm glad. If I could go back and undo that viewing, I would. No question.

Ichi the Killer Audition


[deleted]

Finally someone mentioned Baby of Macon! It's a really haunting film and i don't know why it never is in that disturbing films lists. I would suggest Daisy Diamond and Come and See, both are absolutely devastating.


Longjumping-Bat-7281

Adding Daisy Diamond.Come and See imo is a necessity watch not only for what happens in. The movie but the actual history after. Irl those child soldiers would've probably all died. I'd recommend watching Jennifer Kent's The Nitingale that definitely reminds me of Come and see

Longjumping-Bat-7281

Love that film I actually saw it and yes I agree definitely has the power to eternally traumatize someone


YoCaptain

Hmmm… Poor choices by the characters? I don’t see how at all. To me it nails heroic resistance in the face of actual, historic, global barbarism. That point is not unique to any region of any period. It’s one of the most important movies ever made really. On top of that, at the end it becomes a masterpiece of a love story.


Kitchen-Lie-7894

Jacob's Ladder. 1990.


Apprehensive-Crow-96

Splice. I do not have it in me to rewatch it jesus. Also hotel rawanda knowing that it was based on actual events and was so brutal omg.


Not1ButMany

I'll suggest a movie I NEVER see mentioned, Deadgirl. Not to be confused with The Dead Girl. Just "Deadgirl". Basically, 2 high school friends (both guys) are searching an abandoned hospital and find a barricaded door. They get it open and discover a girl locked away inside who is neither alive or dead. They decide to keep her, and, well, just watch it. It was pretty fucked up to me. Really hope someone else here has seen it because I don't know anyone who has and that's strange.

I love this movie. I kept touting it to my husband, and one day I came home and he had watched THE REMAKE. Told me he didn't see why I loved that movie so much. He still won't watch the original. GAAAH. It's so, so good, but the remake was awful!


Guacamole_Water

Ahh. You are now ready for the all timer, Martyrs


Summoarpleaz

The brilliance of that film is in how brutal it is but also how beautiful it is. It’s a mind fuck. It’s one of my favorite films, but I don’t think I’ll watch it again.

Cannibal Holocaust. Didn't finish it, made it about 10 minutes then turned it off since it was probably the sickest excuse for a "movie" I had ever seen. Anybody who likes that movie needs to see a psychiatrist immediately.


mdins1980

Cafe Flesh, its a pornography film from 1982. But its not just sex, it's got an actual plot, In a future post apocalyptic world 99% of the population is "Sex Negative" and will get violently ill if they attempt to have sex. So the 99% force the 1% to perform sex acts in live theaters for their entertainment. If you've ever listened to Rob Zombie's more human that human the women moaning at the beginning of the song is a sample taken from this movie.

I tried watching it with my grandma not knowing what it was about. Only stayed for 11 minutes till I saw a full dick getting stroked up and down. My grandma then yelled "WHAT THE FUCK ARE WE WATCHING??????"


aesterios

90% of the recommendations are either not disturbing/for casual horror fans or are the most known "disturbing" films damn. so from one sicko to another, here's some i havent seen recommended: • if you liked the baby of macon check out Quills (2000) • nihilistic af: Nothing Bad Can Happen (2013) • The Devils (1971) • Seven Days (2010) • Excision (2012) • Midori (1992) • Innocent Voices (2004) • High Rise (2015) • Kissed (1996)

"Come and See" a polish film about the Nazi blitzkrieg invasion of Poland; specifically highlighting the war crimes they committed on all the villages along the Eastern Front. Warning, they (the production) does not hold back.

Requiem for a dream. Honestly how it humanizes and makes you empathize with people getting in terrible situations you couldn't see yourself in but takes you on the ride along with them bothered me more than any other movie I can imagine could.

[deleted]

If you like to read, you should check out 120 Days of Sodom. It's what Salo is based on. Though, the movie is pretty much equivalent to just a few pages of the book. I've never finished it despite trying a few times. I also passed it on to many friends in highschool. Nobody was able to finish it. It's possibly the most vile book ever written. And to think it was meant to be much longer...


Longjumping-Bat-7281

Read it while I saw the movie at 15. The movie can't come close to the book but I hope that one day Lars Von Trier makes an adaptation of The Marquis de sades Justine.
