15. Threads
Threads actually wasnt a feature film. It was a BBC mini-series that aired in 1984 that detailed in excruciating detail the after effects of a nuclear war between the United States and Russia that escalated to include the UK. The movie follows two families as they all basically die for various reasons (medical, economic, etc.) in the months and years following...
14. Requiem For A Dream
The movie might be the rare adaptation that actually packs a more devastating punch. The film had top notch talent involved, from director Darren Aronofsky to actors Ellen Burstyn, and Jennifer Connelly, and thats not even mentioning the beautiful, haunting score penned by Clint Mansell. The anti-drug message is a little goofily over the top, but its...
13. Last House On The Left
There was a time when Wes Craven was kind of cool. Back in the 70s Craven directed some genuine classic horror movies, and the best of the bunch was probably Last House On The Left. The film is pretty non-stop with torture and gore, and even today is pretty shocking, especially when you reflect upon the fact that the movie was made all the way ...
12. Hard Candy
Hard Candy isnt a horror film at all, and it doesnt rely on blood to get a rise out of the audience. It actually could have been performed as a play without losing much of its power, something that couldnt be said about any other film on this list. The film is extremely uncomfortable throughout, and its fair (although perhaps controversial) to say that ...
11. Jacobs Ladder
The movie features tons of disturbing imagery as Tim Robbins spends the film in a nightmare-ish state where youre never really sure exactly what is going on. Director Adrian Lyne used a film technique in which an actor is recorded waving his head and body around at a low frame rate, resulting in pure nightmare fuel when played back at normal speeds.
10. Irreversible
Irreversible is a French movie presented in non-chronological fashion. Specifically the movie contains thirteen scenes and starts at the end of a night, going backwards to the beginning. The film is particularly famous for a Monica Belluci rape scene that is extremely graphic and just goes on … and on … and on, clocking in at over nine minutes. That might not...
9. Happiness
Director Todd Solondz is an odd duck, and while Happiness isnt the only disturbing movie hes ever made Unlike most of the movies on this list, the cast of Happiness is relatively star studded and includes Philip Seymour Hoffman, Laura Flynn Boyle, Jon Lovitz as well as Jane Adams and Dylan Baker, names you might not instantly recognize but whose faces youll ...
8. Henry: Portrait of a Serial Killer
Henry: Portrait of a Serial Killer is a 1986 low budget film shot for just $110,000 and is, as the title would indicate, about a serial killers crime spree and eventual education of another killer. This is well covered ground, but Henry: Portrait of a Serial Killer still manages to get to you by showing Henry to be completely and ...
7. I Spit On Your Grave
The 70s had a lot of gory horror, and one of the best examples is probably I Spit On Your Grave, a movie centered around a womans rape and eventual revenge. The rape sequence rivals Irreversibles in length and intensity, but the rapists certainly do get what they have coming to them, in all sorts of brutally graphic ways. The bathtub scene in ...
5. Audition
Audition is still one of the weirder movie watching experiences Eventually it takes a 180 into insanity with one of the most visceral endings. Takashi Miike could have filled several spots on this list
4. Eraserhead Much like Takashi Miike, David Lynch could easily occupy several spots on a list like this. In our eyes however, Erasherhead narrowly edges out the rest of his oeuvre to be the most disturbing Lynch film of all time, and one of the most disturbing movies of all time period. Eraserhead is about a printer named Henry Spencer who has a deformed baby with his girlfriend who soon leaves him, forcing him to take care of the bizarre...

Quote: Originally Posted by Preeto Maam 3. Salo The 120 Days of Sodom was a work by Marquis de Sade, who had to have at least one work on this list. The book deals with four wealthy men who want to have the ultimate orgy. To accomplish this they seal themselves away with a bunch of young men and women. The sex quickly turns sadistic and matters quickly turns to humiliation, pain, and killing. Pretty much every debased and bizarre sexual...
