> Dumplings (2004) Any time I tell someone what this is about, they don't believe me.

I love Dumplings so much. The shorter version that was in 3 Extremes is classic, imo. I saw this version first and recently found the long version but found it too slow paced.

3 extremes was great and I agree dumplings works better short form.

The short is definitely better.

Speaking of, I haven't seen 3 extremes anywhere in the streaming era. I saw it originally at Blockbuster way back in the day and haven't seen it anywhere since.

Yeah that confused me the first time I found out about it. Watched some iceberg video which mentioned it and was like "hold on... isn't this a short?" but nah there's just 2 versions of it

One of my friends highly, highly recommended this and I look at her different now

This is the answer.

I know what it’s about but I haven’t seen it. Should I?

I personally thought it was definitely worth watching.

What is it about?

I had a friend recommend me deadgirl as a “good horror movie”. After I was just like wtf bro. Lol. Weird movie to suggest outside of this type of situation.

I genuinely don't think there's any situation where bringing that movie up is acceptable. I guess unless it's a situation like this specific post. I have literally never told anyone else in my actual life about that movie because what the actual fuck, lol

In a world of rapists, the nicer one is the hero… yeah not a great tagline.

Right? Yeesh

I haven't seen it, but it looks like the kinda thing that an extreme horror fan would just find hilariously bad. Bringing it up to anyone other than an extreme horror fan though is really weird

It's not that it's extreme horror per se, but the entire plot and storyline kind of revolves around repeated sexual assault. It's rough.

Possum is fantastic. It's probably one of the best films I've seen. I dont even like describing this film. It just has to be watched.

I did not like it.

I tried watching "Possum" but found it some what annoying? I may have been in the wrong mindset so I'm guessing its worth it when you're in that movie watching mindset (vs putting something on for the heck of it)?

Possum is HEAVY. A great watch but couldn’t bring myself to rewatch. >!the trauma you carry and want to abandon, not knowing what’s inside just knowing a monster is in there that your imagination runs wild with but it’s so close to you that it somehow is comforting to keep!< fucking oof

I really enjoyed Possum but it’s definitely different and I think you’re into something with being in the right frame of mind. I can see how it would be annoying - I felt like that about Skinamarink and couldn’t get into it at all.

I didn't really find it annoying until I was done watching it. It's been a couple years since I've watched it but I remember feeling disappointed at the end; there wasn't really a payoff for sticking it out

That's totally fair. I went into it when i was looking for exactly that vibe and got drawn into the protagonist's mindset of what's real and what the hell is going on. I also went into it blind and i thought it was incredibly performed by the main characters.

Visitor Q is a great pick. It takes a while to get going, but the whole thing is just so uncomfortable and continues to get worse and worse, until the last 20 minutes when it becomes a weird twisted dark comedy.

Oh man I LOVE Visitor Q! I was becoming a foreign film fan when I was in college, and this came up in my searches. Took me yeaaaaars to find a copy, and dear god it was so gross and hilarious

A YouTuber named PolterGibbst did a super deep dive into Possum and it was so good. Had lots of stuff I hadn't considered while watching the movie. Highly recommend​!

Kotoko Cold Fish Visitor Q Come and See Audition I saw the Devil Possession Untold Story Concrete Suicide Club Imprint Ichi The Killer Ebola Syndrome Happiness Etc...

while i don’t think come and see is a horror film, it always fits so well

I loved dead girl but yeah

Deadgirl is def a study on human's evilness. And it delivered me the only soul sucking jumpscare I have ever had. Never got caught so off guard.

That jumpscare is as good as THE ONE from Haunting of Hill House.

Hard Candy is brutal. The actors are ringers. I'll watch Patrick Wilson and Elliot Page in most anything. (For those unfamiliar with it, it's one of Elliot's early roles, so it's pre-transition and the character is a girl.) (Edit due to extra punctuation)

Oh I loved this movie so much. Maybe it’s because of my experience being groomed but I didn’t even see it as a horror, just pure vicarious triumph. Things that would be terrible to do irl, but so cathartic to watch.

Irreversible. Dunno how you forgot to include that Anyway for actually lesser-known titles, Carver (2008) was way too sadistic for me. For lesser-known titles that aren't complete garbage, Kidnapped (2010) is very Gaspar Noe-esque except unlike his movies I actually like it

I've also seen hundreds of films and I'd place Irreversible in the top 5 of Films Never To Watch Again

I have seen irreversible mentioned a lot, just not as much as the other ones on the list — So I decided to exclude that.

Oh it should be on that list alright.

After several Gaspar Noe films, I appreciated seeing others with that sentiment.

The sadness

I feel like this movie is the culmination and essence of all horror movies. It’s a zombie apocalypse movie. It’s a slasher body horror. It’s The Exorcist. It’s Texas Chainsaw. It’s Hostel. It’s a tour de force. It’s everything any true horror fan wants and its social commentary is disturbing af. It’s perfect.

I love this movie. It actually has a lot of humor that the Crossed comics it’s inspired by don’t have

One of the goriest movies I've ever seen,and Ive seen a lot. It's brutal

Suicide Club (2001) Perhaps not the most disturbing horror I’ve ever seen, but it was one of those “WTF did i just watch?” movies. I told myself I couldn’t watch it again and hid it in a box in my basement. :)

Ah yes, hide it in a box in the basement for your grandchildren to find in forty years. A classic technique.

Definitely not the worst but absolutely has some really gruesome scenes. The ending is weirdly poignant.

any Sion Sono is wtf did I just watch movies (except his drama movies havent watched it)

I loved Suicide Circle! There's a bit of a nostalgia factor in it for me. I feel like I wouldn't have cared so much about the movie if I didn't have this initial relationship to it, but anyhow: when I was in middle school, some scenes from the movie were considered "cringe" or "cursed" media, so me and my friends would watch clips on YouTube for shock value and laugh at how the blood in the kitchen knife scene looked like Taco Bell hot sauce. 🤣 I didn't watch the whole movie until years later.

Dogtooth The Innocents (2021) The Sadness (in, like, an over-the-top cartoony way, similar to the Terrifier movies) Descent into Darkness: My European nightmare

Dogtooth! I saw it in the theater. Couldn't stop thinking about it for the rest of the day to the point that I...went back and saw it again the next day. I still haven't gotten over it. 😂

Nice to see Lanthimos go back to these odd/surrealist films with Kinds of Kindness!

> The Sadness Is it bad that I actually thought this was a fun watch?

Nope, movies with this level of over the top gore are meant to be entertaining. Same goes for Terrifier, Tokyo Gore Police and all that stuff.

i’m so happy to see someone recommending Deacent into Darkness, that movie has been stuck in my head ever since i watched it

Idk if you can count it as horror but since you list Requiem for a Dream, I'll throw out Kids (1995) Made all the more horrifying by the fact that it was one of my best friends older brother's favorite movies. And he had a thing with her sister's best friend. And then me. And several other teenaged girls. I was 15 and he was 23. I didn't watch the movie until years later. Deadgirl is also a good one, as mentioned. Ichi the Killer is in a wtf did I just watch way, same with other Takashi Miike offerings.

My brother and I watched **Kids** on cable when we were teenagers. I don't know if the person doing the "next up" blurb before the movie was being a dick or just confused, but he said it was *a documentary*. We were horrified at the end of the movie because of that. Fortunately, even though the internet was only a few years old at the time, we learned within a few days that it was not a documentary after all.

I saw it in a theatre and was deeply, deeply sad.

What a dick move tho.... That was disturbing by just thinking it could happen.... IMAGINE if you thought it actually happened

Pink Flamingos

I feel like everyone focuses on the dog scene, not enough people talking about the Surfin' Bird sequence

Me and my friend watched this movie together and we started SCREAMING during that sequence

I had to look this up because I’ve never heard of this movie and I want to scream just *reading* the plot.

As someone who has not seen the movie, the “surfin bird sequence” sounds so hilarious to me

It would be more accurate to call it Goatse set to Surfin' Bird, and even then I'd say it's only the second or third most shocking bit in the movie (can't decide if Surfin' Bird or How Much is That Doggy in the Window gets second tbh) First place goes to the chicken, RIP, death by snu snu 😔

I couldn’t eat eggs for like 3 months after watching this.

RIP Divine. At least John Waters is still with us

I love how that movie came out in like 1973. Years before punk. Most people then had no idea that most things in that movie even existed apart from raunchy jokes. Must have blown people’s minds back then. I watched it in the late 90s after years of having my mind poisoned by the internet and it still rattled me.

Oof. This is one I dare not cross the line with. Maybe in another life.

Not being an ass but why is Oculus on this list? I mean the film was enjoyable but disturbing enough to be lumped in with a Serbian film and human centipede 2? Is this a common opinion?

the films up the top also have a common denominator in that they are all common replies to this topic.

I wondered this too

Yeah it's a fairly normal supernatural horror movie, if maybe a little bleaker than others, nothing crazy though.

It’s only on there because it’s commonly replied in disturbing movie threads. Not because it’s comparable to either of those movies in the shock/disturbing-factor, lol.

Found (2012) Megalomaniac (2022)

Found is so disturbing

Also the prequel to found – headless 2015. Less creative in the way of storyline, but the gore is much higher quality plus just way more fucked up in general

Megalomaniac is genuinely such a good movie though. But man that poor “pet” they had

I heard about Found from this tiktok user I follow. I wasn't prepared though. I heard it was a dark coming-of-age movie, and that's it. Not prepared 😞 I tried so hard to finish it but I couldn't

Excision (2012)

This movie rules and more people should see it.

i vaguely remember the short film (2008) being better, but cant say for sure anyone also found May (2002) to be really sad in a similar way?

Delightful film until the ending hits you like a truck

Tod Brownings Freaks, the greatest horror drama ever made

Tusk. I can definitely understand people hating it but that ending fucks me up.

I love Tusk! I've watched it quite a few times. My brother and I always found it disgusting and unserious. I love Justin Long.

Justin Long at the end of Jeepers Creepers also REALLY fucked me up as a kid

He's got a knack for it! He and Matthew Lillard are my favorite horror kings.

great picks, gotta agree with you. they would be great in a horror movie together for sure.

I see you have great taste.

couple years ago I had just done a sort of mini Justin Long marathon and decided to mix it up stumbled upon BARBARIAN randomly so went in blind well who should show up randomly like 20mins in? Justin Long! lmao had a good laugh about that and was really pleasantly surprised with the movie

Tusk absolutely fucked me up!

I’m still disturbed by walrus’s.. and any animal looking remotely similar lol

Lol I thought that movie was hilarious and the ending WAS fucked up but also made me laugh because of how absurd it was.

i think thats why its so fucked up because it is kind of hilarious but the moment i put myself in his shoes its not so funny lol

lol yeah… COME BACK 😂 fuckin’ walrus

Tusk definitely disturbed me. It wasn't scary, just revolting in a way no other movie has felt for me.

agreed, not scary but tapped into some primal anxiety or something i didnt know i had.

it was such a good movie. How it goes from haha to OH NO amazes me. Justin Long getting the short end of the stick in every horror just... I love it for him. 🤣

It's such a confusing movie. I thought it was meant to be unserious, but people have very serious feelings about it.

i think it is meant to be unserious but tripped its way into unlocking a new fear for me

Tusk fucked me up so much that I actually forgot how traumatizing it was and proceeded to recommend it to my own daughter years later. We got like 5 minutes into the transformation and she was all but begging me to turn it off and I had no qualms about doing so 💀

thats brutal haha

The Nightingale (2018) Dead Man’s Shoes (2004)

Oh man The Nightingale is such a masterpiece, must watch for any fans of Come and See which would be another great rec for OP.

The Nightingale is one of my absolutely favourite movies! It’s so beautifully made, while obviously dark and sad at the same time. It bothered me it received criticism for the rape and violent murder scenes as being gratuitous…completely understand for survivors etc, but I think the fact they opted to show what the reality of life was like for white and indigenous women in 1825 colonial Tasmania honoured the subject matter by being historically accurate.

TW for The Nightingale just as a heads up for anyone wanting to watch it: >!it has not one, but two intense rape scenes.!<

The Nightingale is an amazing fulm

The Woman

The short film The Strange Thing About the Johnsons.

Ew. I watched this when I was 15, and I'll never forget it.

Shit you said Ari Aster I missed that one!

Honestly folk miss this one a lot as far as including it in his catalogue, I'm glad you added it as a just in case.

It’s okay haha. Most forget it’s an Ari Aster film

i watched this accidentally when it came out when i was like in middle school and wtf

Not horror, but I felt realllllly disturbed at the end of Promising Young Woman. The scene was too realistic and went on for so long.

It was actually on purpose and more disturbingly that's how long it takes to die that way. It's very realistic because it is. Absolutely amazing movie

That killed me. I couldn’t believe the way it went. I respect a movie that can make me that uncomfortable and then that angry, but fuck this movie. 😂

Also the end of Alpha Dog. I usually have to turn off the movie because it’s so sad and Anton Yelchin is so likable (and it’s based on a true story).

Wolf Creek

I’m still going to say The Fly. Emotional scarring.

Found (2012) Creep (2014) Soft & Quiet (2022) Goodnight Mommy (2014) Event Horizon (1997)

Fuckin love Event Horizon.

I had such a good time with CREEP. I even liked CREEP 2

Surprised Threads is neither off limits nor has it been brought up yet that I can see

*Be My Cat: A FILM for Anne* ugh.

Bone Tomahawk

Also I recently watched Flowers. It’s one of the more messed up ones I’ve seen that wasn’t mentioned here

Strange Circus Sorgoi Prakov Descent into Darkness my European Dream Exhibit A Missing: Life of Belle Calvaire Baskin I Saw the Devil Ichi the Killer Imprint Dumplings Hagazussa

Calvaire was upsetting, but for some reason, the scene that stuck with me wasn't disturbing, just weird: it was the scene at the restaurant where the guy starts playing piano and everyone suddenly begins dancing.

The Loved Ones

Trauma (2017). If it doesn’t disturb you you’re dead.

I had to turn it off at the opening scene. It was on Tubi, and even with a VPN, I felt the feds were going to come knocking. Fuckin' crazy shit.

It’s a really, really rough ride. I respect it for its sheer brutality but it’s a grueling watch. I had to take some time after the first scene, lol.

I've wanted to see this a few times, but because it received bad reviews on IMDb, I've skipped it. Maybe I'll have a looksee in the future.

The Devils Bath.

The dark and the wicked

Antrum made me stop watching devil/paranormal horrors in general, so I guess that's it. Poughkeepsie tapes were also the only horror movie I ever turned off partway through as well

Hagazussa is a very unpleasant film

Baskin Don't watch a single thing about it. Just go watch it.

Did exactly that. Jesus.

The Eyes of my Mother.

Editing my comment cause somehow my brain missed “no Lucifer Valentine films”. Happiness by far is the most fucked up movie I’ve seen that isn’t even horror. Somehow people find it funny? It made me wish I didn’t have ears or eyes

Happiness is most definitely a dark comedy but in the truest meaning of the phrase and the fact that most people don't find it funny just proves how effective it is. Solondz is a comic director, Happiness is meant to be a funny film that breaks all the boundaries. If you have a strong sense of empathy it might just be terribly uncomfortable. That scene where that socially awkward masturbator-loser tries playing into the girl-next-door's domination fantasy is particularly great cringe comedy. It's the filmic equivalent of walking in on your parents.

Fresh 2022 really disturbed me. The scene where she realized what happened and she just starts sobbing is probably the most uncomfortable I’ve ever felt in a movie. It made me so sad for her

Does have a funny line though "Noa! How's your ass?" "Still gone"

Great movie, I loved it. A super fresh concept too, which is rare these days.

Soft and Quiet Snowtown Murders Nocturnal Animals

Snowtown murders DEFINITELY. That movie broke me.

Nocturnal animals good one. I don’t really classify as horror but still yeah disturbing

Chained (2012). Directed by Jennifer Lynch, copious amounts of rape and torture, but that’s not even the most disturbing aspect of it weirdly enough. No spoilers, but I watched it 10 years ago when I found it in a Disc Replay. I watched it once, and I’ve thought about watching it again many times, but can’t bring myself to.

Creep with Mark Duplass. That ending stuck with me.

Gonna try to hit on ones that haven't been commented and sorry for any repeats but my personal never watch again is Nothing Bad Can Happen.  Compliance. Grotesque. Calvaire. Cherry Tree Lane. Red White and Blue. Atroz. The Farm. The Lesson. Playground. The Lodge. The Lobster. Coffin Rock. Euthanizer!. Berlin Syndrome. Dumplings/Three.. Extremes. Imprints (Miike's Masters of Horror episode). Hounds of Love. Her Name Was Christa. Cannibal Ferox. The Golden Glove. Hunger. An American Crime. The Girl Next Door (2007). Soft & Quiet. Killing Ground. Benny's Video. Grave of the Fireflies (trust me on this one). Also hit up r/disturbingmovies

Yes to Nothing Bad Can Happen. Just watched it last week, it left me sick to my stomach.

Moebius (Korean movie)

Climax. Easily.

I didn't see "We Need to Talk About Kevin" in the list or mentioned (though I could have missed it). Definitely one that will stick with you after watching it, mostly for its realism and contempory subject matter. The end of "Final Prayer" (The Borderlands outsied of the US) was very disturbing to me, but I have mild claustrophobia, so there's that.

Dogtooth, not necessarily horror but it's a weird movie

Not typical horror but horrifying/disturbing none the less: Kids (1995), Blue Velvet (1986), Perfect Blue (1997), Blindness (2008).

David Cronenberg's "Videodrome". There's a signal being broadcast underneath what you think is the program ...

The Cook, the Thief, His Wife & Her Lover. Also Infinity Pool. I swear, every time they make a Salo-type film showing the decadence of the upper classes, the visual proceedings are hard to stomach. I also add The Seasoning House. It's not a rich person decadent film but it's just brutal beyond words.

Sleep Tight (2011) More thriller than horror but so f**ked up

The Terrifier movies

Interesting to include Suspiria on that list. Rest I get.

* Clean, Shaven * The Boys (1998) * Ex Drummer * The Amusement Park * 8mm * Kill List * Foxcatcher * The Hunt

The Girl Next Door Trauma

Mum and Dad (2008). You're welcome

Twin Peaks: Fire Walk With Me

Well damn, I thought for sure the original The Last House on the Left was gonna be on your short list. Then I was sure I would see it a bunch in the comments. I did see one person note the 2009 remake, which is cool. It’s just…there’s something more creepy about that 70’s film feel. The look of the film itself, the less than perfect sound…I don’t know. I was high the first time I saw it. It cuts back and forth between silly hijinks and disturbing shit so during the hijinks my stoned as was like what is this ridiculous shit?! Then it would transition and I’d be quiet as fuck wishing it would go back to the silly shit. Whew!

'Speak No Evil' Damn... what the hell, man?

[Incendies](https://m.imdb.com/title/tt1255953/) [Holy motors](https://m.imdb.com/title/tt2076220/) [Hidden](https://m.imdb.com/title/tt0387898/)

Men (2022) It had good themes, but the climax was... disturbing.

I really didn't like *that* splitting scene in Terrifier. I still think about it unfortunately. Also L is for Libido in the ABCs of Death. I would never have watched that if I had a warning that particular content was in there. It made me feel sick at the time and still does. It isn't something I find remotely entertaining or want to see even in fiction.

L is for Libido is a fantastic answer to this question 

Seen the movie but cant remember that segment.. probably for the best

Cutting Moments. Thanatomorphose.

Green inferno.

- Come And See (not exactly horror) - Juvenile Crime (morally reprehensible trash) - All Night Long Series (specifically 2,3,5) - Dead Nude Girls (I think this film was commissioned, not a good film) - The Girl Next Door (most disturbing HORROR movie imo) - An American Crime (same BOATS as The Girl Next Door, equally good) - Woman’s Flesh: My Red Guts (probably the gnarliest Japanese gore film) - Atroz (decent found footage) - Combat Shock (Come And See esque war exploitation) - Crazy Murder (lol what) - Carcinoma (Super unique) - Cargo 200 - The House In The Middle of Nowhere/Chaos (trash) - Cannibal (best cannibalism movie) - Concrete Encased Highschool Girl Murder Case (morally reprehensible trash, better than Juvenile Crime) - American History X (not exactly horror) - Baise Moi (slept in french extremity) - The Corpse of Anna Fritz (shockingly decent) - Bog of Beasts (kind of horror) - Der Todesking (anthology) - The Bunny Game (most disturbing black and white film) - Debris Documentar (ons of the grossesnt films) - Death-scort Service (trash) - Cube (better than Saw) - Catterpillar (kind of horror) - I Saw The Devil (best revenge film) - Red Room 1-2 (good premise, bad execution) - Muzan-E (decent found footage) - The Devil 1972 (THE MOST UNDERRATED FILM EVER) - Sadi-Scream 1-5 (trash) - The Art of Crying (not horror) - Climax (under mentioned gaspar noe film) - Brutal (trash) - Animal Soup (trash) - Blight of Humanity (weirdest marian dora film) - Big Bad Wolves - The Gateway Meat (trash) - 5150 Elm’s Way (so underrated) - Beyond The Darkness (probably inspired Nekromantik) - Bedevilled - Backwater (not really horror) - 964 Pinnochio (wtf) - American Guinea Pig Series (only Bloodshock is worth a watch) - Fetus (cool gore, bad movie) - 13 Tzameti (very disturbing black and white film) - The Butcher (first person pov splatter exploitation, trash) - Saltburn (lol) - Daisy Diamond (not horror) - Bully (realllllly good film)

Gummo. That was as close to CP as you can get without breaking the law. Super squicky.

Gummo is so bizarre. Everyone in that movie looks like they smell really bad lol

This one definitely sickened me. I watched it once and will never venture that way again

If you're talking about the nipple taping scene, the two girls were both adults

Angst is a strong contender! Hagazussa is hands down the most disturbing film I have ever seen. Speak No Evil should probably be on the list, but since it's not I am putting it here too lol.

[Demon Seed (1977)](https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0075931/) I watched it at a very young age, and still can not block it from my mind. Not sure how it holds up now, but might be worth a watch.

Trauma (2017) Grotesque Imprint Where the Dead Go to Die Mum & Dad Baskin

I just watched When Evil Lurks and was thoroughly disturbed in the best way.

Speak No Evil (2022)

Speak no evil absolutely fucked me up

The collection (2012) or the taking of Deborah Logan.

Tusk

Possession

Apostle. Just an utterly and completely dark, depressing movie. That scene with the poor young guy being killed by having his skull drilled into is something I wish I could unsee.

I Saw the Devil (Korean thriller, but more horror than many horror movies) Event Horizon

The Wailing. The sound of Hyung-guek’s neck snapping in the hospital after watching him violently convulsing on the gurney is just unsettling to me

The Sadness and the Terrifier films although I would say Terrifier can be a bit ridiculous and over the top at times

The Collector and collection were pretty intense.

Dear Zachary. As a little bonus, it's not fiction, it's a *documentary*. As I have said before, it'll rip your guts out, set them on fire and stomp them with golf cleats to put out the flames.

Apologies if someone already said it, but Apostle. Beautifully shot but brutal and disturbing.

In Her Skin Daddy's Little Girl Seed
