Hands down, Requiem for a Dream. That movie is so good but can only really be watched once.
37 0 ReplySame with Kids. Perfect execution of a theme so awful I never want to go near it again.
11 0 ReplyYeah I did watch it again during the pandemic for the first time in many many many years. Still a big NOPE film.

Also the scene where Jared Leto's friend is shooting up makes my skin crawl.

The french original of Martyrs. That movie really lived in my head for some days.
I think you should see it without knowing anything.
Just be sure that you can handle some fucked up shit.
11 0 ReplyCame here for martyrs, most of it is still burned into my brain.
I was going to watch it again, and then I was like I'm pretty sure I can remember this exactly from beginning to end still.

A Serbian Film.
11 0 ReplyOP said best fucked up, not just fucked up.
I think the most disturbing scene for me was actually the ending, made me feel more sick than the baby scene.

Grave of the fireflies
Even worse, it's based on a true story. (The author preferred the movie's ending)
10 0 ReplyIt’s on my rewatch list since it’s been about twenty years, but I still can’t bring myself to doing so.
3 0 ReplySame. It's my favorite Ghibli film, but I have to get myself in the right headspace to be broken by it again.

Hmmm ok never heard of this one. Will have to add it to the list.
0 0 ReplyIt's an incredible movie. I'm not sure how much you should know before going in, but I'll say this: Don't be fooled by the fact that it's animated - by the same studio as "My Neighbor Totoro". (The two movies played as a double feature because not showing something lighthearted after Grave of the Fireflies would have been criminal negligence.) And the other comments are right - It's not something you're likely to be able to watch again anytime soon.

I've never seen it but fuck Human Centipede. I read it on Wikipedia and it still fucked me up
8 0 ReplyOh you gotta watch it once. It is preposterous in the best way.
5 0 ReplyA friend told me about it in all of its grotesque details. I was a bit scared for her after that and wondered if she was right in her mind.

Probably The Mist, just based on the ending. I still think about it to this day

It's the dark, seedy, perverted underbelly of the American dream, equal parts funny and creepy, and brilliantly cast and acted.
5 0 ReplyThis was the first movie I thought of too! I saw it when it was released in an art house theatre. I didn’t know much about it, and apparently most of the audience didn’t either. Once the film got to that scene where the guy buys a teen boy magazine and climbs into the back of the car to…you know….a bunch of people just got up and walked out!
1 0 ReplyYeah... that's the first moment when the mask starts to slip, and you realize you're in for something entirely different than what it initially appeared to be.

2 0 ReplyI don't know if I would call it best, but the most emotionally scarring and draining movie I have ever seen was Irreversible.
2 0 ReplyGosh. Everyone here knows all the REALLY messed up ones. You don’t watch this one without a permanent stain imprinted on your psyche.
