Salo was pretty messed up! The August Underground series as well.
I couldn’t finish The Girl Next Door (I think there’s another one based on the same events by a different name as well) when I tried to watch it when I was younger. I can watch anything fucked up or gory, but it was just heartbreaking to watch.
Bone Tomahawk has some of the most realistic and disturbing torture and violence I've ever seen on film. I went into it expecting a hard boiled western but its a straight up horror movie. Excellent film though, very underrated.
Smart, i too wish i could be on your side of the table. If I could go back to my teenage self who wanted to be edgy and tell him to turn back I would have if he would have ever listened.
I found The Babadook deeply unsettling. I could never quite predict where the protagonist was going or what she was capable of. The creeping dread of ‘will she harm her child and blame this delusion?’ dominated the viewing for me.
Probably the only film I’ve ever literally watched from behind my fingers
