Let me explain, by unnerving i mean absolutely disturbing. Like, you can't think of the movie without shuddering and you can't watch even 5 seconds of the movie. Because the movie is that traumatic.
For me i think it's A Serbian Film. Honestly, i don't think i found a more scarring movie. It's just so immoral and vile that i can barely watch the trailer.
The most shocking film I saw was Alien Part 1, when the alien exited the crew member's stomach at the dining table. I have seen it again, and it still has shock value. But the only films I positively will never see twice or again are those showcasing animal cruelty or suffering. Like "Mundo Carne," was it, of some 20 years ago and its sequel.
For me, it's Schindler's List. Its most disturbing element is that fact that the Holocaust actually happened. The unimaginable evil that can come from human beings is a sickening and frightful feeling that stays with you.
There's a film I like called The Piano Teacher. But the whole time while watching it I felt physically disturbed. Even after seeing the film, it still sticks with me. I don't consider this a bad thing though, I like when films can physically upset me without the need of pyrotechnics. The slow unraveling of a character and the camera that doesn't turn away from awkward moments.
The last scene of the film left me sad and confused. I still don't know what to think.
PS -- Black Swan is like a watered down version of The Piano Teacher. So if that movie disturbs you, definitely checkout The Piano Teacher.
OH, and I just saw The Skin I Live In. I highly recommend it to anyone that enjoys films that make you uncomfortable. Again, like The Piano Teacher, its slow build up and ruthless characters makes you uneasy the entire time.
It took me a long while to shake the effect of Cannibal Holocaust. I wish it were possible to unsee a movie.
Totally agree. This gave me nightmares for a long, long time after I saw it.
I thought the Killing Fields was really disturbing and very sad. I also thought Hard Candy was pretty disturbing, too. Oh, and Wolf Creek.
I cant rewatch "Eternal Sunshine of a Spotless Mind"
But "requiem for a dream" is the most disturbing film ive ever seen. Im actually depressed for days if im foolish enough to rewatch it.
(incidentally, same director as Black Swan)
I assumed Black Swan was from the novella by Thomas Mann with the same title, which is quite disturbing. However, it seems I was wrong because I cannot find a screen version of the work.

Worst movie you've ever seen?What's the biggest film flop you've had the displeasure of watching?
by Jon Bjorling 11 years ago
What is the worst film you have ever seen and why?I can find enjoyment in some pretty bad films, but the worst film I have ever seen was Uwe Boll's Bloodrayne. I was only able to bear about a half hour of the film before shutting it off and walking away. The film doesn't have a single redeeming...

Anybody claiming that The Avengers is the best film they've ever seen obviously has not seen many films, or has an extremely short memory. I'm pretty sure these people were the same ones who were saying that Avatar was the best film ever, and before that The Dark Knight, and before that The Lord of...

According to various media outlets, they're claiming not only does the film, "Cuties", NOT condone child exploitation, and child pornography, but the film is essentially a social commentary against such things...even though it's been confirmed by various critics that have seen the movie...
