I think “The Elephant Man” is pretty disturbing, not only because the character is disfigured, but he’s an articulate, intelligent and sensitive person who is mistreated.
In terms of disturbing cinema that I’ve seen, I would have to say Lucio Fulci’s 1979 “Zombie” would be among the most disturbing. One of the most popular and controversial Italian horror films, and one of the earliest entries on England’s “Video Nasties” list of the 80’s, this film takes its basic premise and proves to be a strongly done atmospheric film. The famous eye splinter scene, or the terrifying scene with Auretta Gay coming upon the zombie with worms in its eye proved to be pretty creepy. Plus the direction and musical score add a lot of tension, along with the excellent zombie makeup on many of the extras. While other Italian films such as “Cannibal Holocaust” or others come up on such lists, this one will always be for me, the most compelling, atmospheric, and disturbing.
“Salo or the 120 days of sodom” is the most disturbing film I’ve seen, for many reasons, torture, rape, and even eating of feces also this is done to minors, so for me very messed up.
The untold story from Hong Kong , it was based on a true story,the brutality and violent depiction gave me some sleepless nights.
The Human Centipede both 1 & 2 can be fairly disturbing. As for something along the lines of this film Contagion is scary as I can see something like that happening.
To bad they are not releasing this film in Blu-Ray at this time 🙁
The most disturbing movie I’ve seen is I Saw the Devil. It was also fairly entertaining though. The original Oldboy was also disturbing in a different way.
I have yet to see a movie that truly disturbed me in the traditional sense you guys speak of. With that said, the most disturbing movie I have ever seen was A GOOD DAY TO DIE HARD.
I’m going to leave it at that.
The whole “Saw” series is considered disturbing…and gruesome.
I don’t think I see that many “disturbing” movies, but one that I liked but never sat right with me is Black Swan. Visually, audio, psychologically, pretty on all levels that movie is disturbing. Plus I saw the movie in the theater on New Year’s Eve drunk after watching the Notre Dame bowl game, so probably not the best viewing setup haha.
The remake of The Blob was pretty disturbing and freakin awesome. Also kudos to Ben-The Elephant Man- my favorite movie all time.
Just the way the Blob is untroubled by conscious, or intellect, and absorbs it’s victims in scary and gruesome fashion.
I would say A Tale of Two Sister also from Korea was pretty disturbing. It also had to do with the fact that I watched it at a young age. Just the fact that it has to do with multiple personalities makes it disturbing & how it has you thinking a lot on what the heck it happening haha
