Well, I’ve set about acquiring most of the films on the list, plus some of the suggestions in the comments. My stomach is churning in anticipation already! I usually hate watching these kinds of movies, but I always seem to do it anyway. Like a moth to a flame. I know I’m gonna get burned, and yet… sigh.

I’d only seen Hard Candy before (I didn’t find it disturbing at all, but it certainly was an interesting movie), but I’ve seen a couple of the other titles in trash video (Henry, Cannibal Holocaust, Necromantic and Mordum).

Wish me luck everyone!

I agree with Mike. Martyrs is the most disturbing movie I’ve ever seen. I’ve watched most on this list but Martyrs was the only one that truely did something to me. After it was over, I said to myself, “well, there’s a piece gone forever.”

One more thing. Even if you’re not into the August Underground movies (theres 3 of them, Mordum being the 2nd one), or think they’re too over the top, you gotta respect Toe Tag Pictures for their talent. By you not being able to watch it means they did what I’d imagine they set out to do. Check out their movie Red Sin Tower, its gorey but nothing like the August Underground movies, its actually a good horror film.

I wouldn’t compare Hostel with most of these movies. I saw/own some of these: (Salo, I Spit On Your Grave, August Underground: Mordum, Hard Candy, Last house On The Left, Cannibal Holocaust, and Audition) and I’ll say all those movies, with the exception of ‘Hard Candy’ are much worse than Hostel or even any of the Saw movies. If you’re into checking out disturbing movies check out the French Films: Martyrs, and Inside (À l’intérieur). I’d put either of those on this list and take out Hard Candy and I Spit On Your Grave. Thanks for the list though, I need to check some of these out that I haven’t seen. I’m trying to find a movie so disturbing that I can’t get through it, none of these did it for me that I saw.

Great list,

Last House on the Left… saw as a child in the drive in with my parents… OH..That explains everything!
Hard Candy was ok.. not so disturbing.
Jacobs Latter also fantastic BECAUSE it was disturbing.
Requim.. I just detested… so yeah, disturbing.

I have to agree with the comments though about a couple of flicks.

The Cook, The Thief, His Wife and her Lover… one watch was all I could deal with… still in there somewhere years later.

Parents- Funny so you sort of gloss over the disturbing until later.

I would say that Charlie Kaufman deserves a place on this list.. maybe for Being John Malkavich or Adaptation. Both movies I really wanted to like but just found deeply uncomfortable.

I seem to remember a low end Spanish flick called “Pieces” that fell in this genre from my childhood years…. And its always better when foreign language, camp and gore go together.

I haven’t seen hardly any of these, I don’t like gory movies. However, I have seen Jacob’s Ladder, I didn’t find it the least bit “disturbing”. I liked it a lot.

One Of The Best Lists I’ve Ever Seen Of This Move Genre. But I Would Have Added 2 Movies To This List Now Their Not The Most Disturbing But They’ll Put A New Look On A lot Of Things. The ClockWork Orange(1972) And The Chainsaw Massacure(1974)

well, im 13 and its just about time for halloween and my friend is hosting a halloween party so i was thinking about a very scary movie, as i read most of these plots over google i got a little shocked and have no plan on watching any of these movies. Yet these movies like the shining or the exorist(seen both) are scary they still are counted as disturbing and i slept amazed and shocked after watching both, yet the first movie on this list sounds disturbing, but i think it is a piece of garbage a movie with no plot is just lame. Also i dont think 2 deranged kids i think about my age kidnapping to girls and tormenting them is scary i wouldnt know as i havent seen the movie. yet great list and i wonder if i could find Cannibal Holocaust and i would diffently watch it with my friends yet since its banned in alot of places i doubt ill be able to find it, great list and thanks for sharing=P

Anyone ever seen the movie Blood Relation? It’s kind of old school. I was a young buck when I watched it, but I thought it was disturbing.
