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!
For my partner and I, it’d surely have to be Baskin. I’m actually surprised to see a thread like this without it.
They’re Inside comes to mind next, but for more story reasons than just the freaky goings on.
I’ve watched Baskin and I dunno, it’s fucked up for sure… But I feel like I’ve watched way much worse (as in fucked up) movies.
Depends on your horror tastes, of course. We have no interest in Martyrs or A Serbian Film type stuff even if Baskin was pretty redeemable on general weirdness, and we all know there’s plenty worse than any of those out there.
Maybe most people who watch Baskin tend to venture even further out, but it seems like a notable watershed point to me.
Unfortunately I’ve seen both of the mentioned movies.
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.
Goodnight mommy?
That’s the one! Good to know, I will make sure to not watch it :)
It’s a pretty good movie but yes very hard to watch at times. There is now a remake of it at Amazon Prime with Naomi Watts in the leading role. I think that movie is really good as well and not that hard to watch in comparison.
It’s gotta be. And no spoilers, but that ending was… scarring and unexpected.
Intense for sure.
Irreversible.
Mad God
Weird is weird 👍
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.
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.
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.
Mother! with Jennifer Lawrence
Tried to watch it but somehow it made me too uncomfortable lol. Nothing had even happened yet!
That movie is very insane indeed! I thought it was very confusing.
The Mangler… too real
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.
Yeah I’m not touching that one.
Yep. August Underground. This is the one.
Ichi the Killer by Takashi MIIKE, really gore and graphic, I had to avert my eyes several times.
I must say while being one of most fucked up movies I’ve seen it’s also one of my favorites.
A person of culture I see! Glad you agree with my assessment
Indeed. Have you seen Audition as well? It’s not on the same level but I think it’s great for being gore fest lol. Also it’s a slow burner and I love those types of thriller / horror movies (Audition is definitely a thriller and not horror). Maybe also Greatful dead btw.
If no one has turned you onto the work of Park Chan-wook you would probably really enjoy him
Ah the director of Oldboy. Haven’t seen any of his other films, might have to give them a try!
I haven’t kept up with his career in a hot minute but the Vengeance trilogy, which includes Oldboy, is really good
I’ve seen Audition, but not the other. Was Audition that gorey? I guess at the climax, but maybe I’m remembering wrong.
The ending is extremely gory. And there is some very interesting scenes in it. I loved it.
Yeah, it was a good movie. After thinking about the ending, I remember more of it now. Quite gory haha. The other is on my list.
No thank you for the recommendation, I’ll check it out!
Good. Directed by Miike as well 😄
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.
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.
Ehm… Movies that includes necrophilia and pedophilia is not something that should be allowed… That’s why I’m saying it should be banned… I’m not going to go into details. If you’re interested in learning more about it I’ll leave it at that.
Taken individually, the set pieces in Serbian Film don’t sound that awful (apart from what you mentioned), but as a whole in one sitting, it builds and slowly crushes you. The climax of the movie is simply too much. “Bleak” doesn’t even begin to describe it.
