The French version of Martyrs, haunts me forever
I read a review a while ago (a mixed article comparing different movies) and I'm pretty sure I don't want to see the movie, like ever.
The attic scene towards the end of Hereditary lived rent free in my head for a while, so I'd say that film.
Easily 2010’s A Serbian Film.
Indeed. I wish I didn't see it.
I'd love to un-watch this one. I get the message they were going for, but it taught me I do have limits on needless cruelty and how dark satire can get before I need to vomit. This might have been the one that broke me, horror-wise.
Came here to say this one. Anyone who hasn't seen it... don't. Just don't. You'll regret it.
Only horror movie that ever made me just straight up nope out 10 minutes in is "The Poughkeepsie Tapes" I watch horror for spooks and thrills and the occasional existential dread. That shit was just too real and too close to home. Its not a horror movie you will enjoy watching. It is one that will make you feel genuinely discomforted and sick in the stomach.
Yeah I had to detox after this one. I recognised a couple of the actors, so that helped remind me it was fake, but otherwise it was too close to real serial killer cases for my taste.
Lake Mungo is still my go-to mockumentary horror. I prefer the slow build & spookiness.
Mother! with Jennifer Lawrence
That movie is very insane indeed! I thought it was very confusing.
Tried to watch it but somehow it made me too uncomfortable lol. Nothing had even happened yet!
I guess it depends on what exactly you mean by fucked up. I watched Dead Alive (NR)/Braindead with a friend and he threw up more than once. I heard from other people they too threw up watching it. But it is a movie that I would consider a borderline comedy.
Some of the horror porn movies like hostel are more fucked up in what happens in them.
I think movies like Misery that show what a plain human is capable of doing to another human is more fucked up than a movie about the supernatural.
Irreversible.
Maybe kinda vanilla but I could not watch past the beginning of The Hills Have Eyes. I generally like horror but have a weak stomach for gore, and sexual assault as a shock device completely turns me off of a movie.
There was also a movie I was watching with a friend but I don't recall the name, maybe someone knows it. It wasn't in English, and IIRC it was about a boy who got mad that his mother kept insisting that his brother had died. The whole second half of the movie devolved into pure torture porn and we eventually just had to turn it off.
Antichrist was pretty wild. Did not expect it to be so graphic
That movie really disapointed. I actually liked it untill the end where the woman went bat shit crazy..
hey, no spoilers, man!
The Endless (2017) (by Justin Benson who made Resolution) really creeped me out, but it might be a personal phobia. Sort of existentialist and philosophical fear of things that are so alien they drive you mad.
The horror movie that scared me most was Sinister 2012 (edit: oops not Insidious) even though it's not anything special. Really depends on the time and place and mood you watch it.
PS: Apparently I'm not alone in finding Sinister very scary: "A 2020 study by Broadband Choices named Sinister the scariest film ever made, based on an analysis of viewer heart rates." (from wiki)
The most fucked up scene is the murder of the guy in the gay club at the beginning of Gaspar Noe's Irreversible The camera work and the shot of the head turning to mush meant it was the only time I've ever had to pause a scene and take a breath. A Serbian Film and Salo are awful but none of these are horror movies despite being horrific. Martyrs is great as is Red, White and Blue. I'd personally go with Slaughtered Vomit Dolls or Philosophy of a Knife for straight up fucked up.
On a separate note, JF Gonzalez' book 'Survivor' was one of the most horrific books I ever read, with a few really heinous passages.
A Serbian Films is definitely a movie I wish I never watched. It's just one of the worst film in terms of content around, It should be banned everywhere..
Banned because it’s so horrifying? I’ve always heard it brought up when mentioning over-the-horrific, but I can’t imagine it’s really as bad as all that. I’ve seen videos discussing it. So I’ve heard a few of the “high” (low) points, but none of them really sound…as bad as everyone makes it out to be.
The Sadness was a lot for me.
Yeah I get that. I watched I think halfway trough and just stopped watching. I have this one thing with violence in movies: it gotta be a reason for it. That movie don't give a single reason why they are just killing everyone.. I appreciate tye movie but for me it's neh, nothing worth watching. I love gory movies but that was over the top nonsense.
I ended up watching a YouTube review to get the ending.
Mad God
Weird is weird 👍
As Fucked up movie, i can easily say The Outwaters 2022. That movie really messed me up.
Impressive for a budget production but overall this film was a miss for me. My friend I saw it with loved it though so would probably still recommend to genre fans.
Some of the darkest ones I've seen (most disturbing) aside from the torture porn genre of modern times come out of the 70's. The OG chainsaw massacre, or Henry: Portrait of a Serial Killer come to mind. They didn't have a lot of censorship for some things back then. They got away with some pretty twisted shit on-screen.
Texas Chainsaw Massacre actually doesn't show you much compared to the impression it leaves.
Yeah it wasn't the gore or special effects that left a mark it was the psychological elements.
I Spit On Your Grave. I don’t know who that movie is made for.
When Black Birds Fly. It feels an extremely particular type of sick to me. It's one of my favourite movies, and I haven't watched it all the way through yet. The rainbow vomit aesthetic of it is, as far as I can tell, unique. Most people hate it.
It's also unique in that it's the only thing I've had to stop watching despite being very interested. I'll finish it fully one day.
I've probably watched other things people would consider more extreme, but for some reason, this one gets to me, in the best way. Not even necessarily just disturbed, also... overwhelmed.
The horrendous, stilted acting and animation is not accidental, it is a precursor to how nothing in the movie will be comfortable.

I would say, martyrs is not in the notable list, but I feel this is one of the worst.
I have seen many movies from this genre and I totally love it.. Especially Martyrs are amazing. I doubt I will ever watch it again but it's so fucking shocking.
The August Underground movies. I used to watch a lot of fucked up shit. In Mordum, the bathtub scene got me.
Toetag did some pretty good practical effects.
Yep. August Underground. This is the one.
Yeah I'm not touching that one.
The Mangler... too real
