Requiem for a Dream is an incredibly powerful film that is worth watching once, then never again.
Also, the soundtrack is absolutely banging
One of my all time favorite movies, but yeah it’s fucked up.
Grave of the Fireflies. Not the same type of fucked up, but I don’t want to watch it again!
I watched it as a teenager and cried heavily.
This was during the era where we saw beheading videos, two girls one cup, all sorts of rotten shit. And a anime made me break down.
Very well done. I loved it but won’t watch it again
The original Korean Old Boy from 2003 was pretty fucked up. Great watch but the ending was uh… Yeah. Kinda messy.

A Serbian film is tops for me. I watched it on my day off while my 2 year old daughter was taking her mid-day nap and when she woke up I couldn’t bring myself to pick her up out of the crib. I just felt too compromised by what I had just put into my eyes to touch her for a while.

Cannibal Holocaust (1980), Eraserhead (1977), Underground (1995), The Holy Mountain (1973), Salò or the 120 Days of Sodom (1975), Ichi the Killer (2001), Inside (2007)
Recently, I watched and really liked the japanese movie Ritual (2000).
I watched all of the above with awesome German dub.
Holy Mountain.
That movie is WTF.
You’d almost think the wikipedia article on the movie was made up 😂
I had a friend describe it at a party we were at and I didn’t belive him, so I went and downloaded a Linux iso real quick and we watched it. I wish I hadn’t.
Ichi the Killer was mostly just weird. Takashi Miike does strange movies that don’t always/usually make a lot of sense.
I haven’t seen anyone mention Come and See yet, so that one.
Came here to write this.
Another one would be Jacob’s ladder, but compared to Come and See it’s fairytale.
I actually loved Jacob’s Ladder.
Don’t get me wrong, it’s a fantastic movie. It’s just… it kind of fucked my mind when I saw it.
Same applies for Come and See. It’s amazingly done, but it’s brutal. Which is no surprise given the theme, but the difference is it’s so naturalistic and shows all the wartime horrors. Most films tend to avoid these and show only the heroic parts of war.
Speaking of which I’d sneak in Apocalypse Now and Casualties of War.
Casualties of War… That one was fucked, esp. since it was largely true, and the person that reported it got so fucked over for trying to do the right thing. Kinda like the people that stopped the My Lai massacre.
Yep, that is the true mindfuck. Also the reason I rate these movies pretty high.
Great movie though, I should watch it again.
I haven’t seen Come and See and based on what I’ve read I’m not really inclined to.
You’re missing out.
It’s not an easy watch but it’s worth it, unlike some of the other movies mentioned here the shock factor is necessary to tell the story and it’s a story worth experiencing.

Super is a movie that was fucked up largely because you don’t actually expect it to commit so hard to the premise.
Amazing movie though, one of my favorites. A lot of famous people starring as well, especially for such an unknown movie.
Man no one I talk to has ever seen this movie. The last like 30 minutes are so crazy, I loved it.
There’s a movie called A Serbian Film that will make the everyday person lose their marbles. Not my friend apparently, he’s like “come on in and watch this movie with me that I’ll proceed to use to test my manliness”. So me and my other friend walk in to him sitting in a dull pebble chair about to consume a bowl of carolina reapers as his “movie snack”. She could not sit through the first segment, and I think I had trouble halfway through, but there he is, just absorbing what everyone says is the most graphic movie of all time.
I must admit, I laughed at the final scene - the whole film came off as trying too hard to be edgy and it tipped over into stupidity. Also the ending is very like that of
spoiler
Kill List
Which did it better.
The fault in our stars
What an absolutely awful movie. I was prepaired to shed a tear but I wasn’t expecting it to ruin my entire week. I wish I had never seen it.
The book was so much better.
I mean, it’s YA so it’s not exactly literary gold. But it was better than the movie by far.
Martyrs
Martyrs was brilliant as well, not just fucked up like a lot in this thread!
The Girl Next Door (2007) Is a true story about an abused girl. Very disturbing
Never made it to the end. Just couldn’t.

This one is hard to top because of newborn porn but martyrs is a close second to me.
Eraserhead
Phil Tippett’s Mad God. It took the man like ~30 years to make the most fucked up, fever dream of a stop motion movie. I don’t know what would be worse, watching it sober or high on anything.
I like to imagine, that like Stephen King, he did some wild drugs. But instead of writing a book and moving on, he just kept getting absolutely zooted for 30 years until this movie was done. Because that is the only reason that would justify that movie’s creation.
For me it was “Dear Zachary”. Mostly because it’s a documentary, not because it’s gory or anything. It’s just a heart wrenching documentary.
Its also full of distortions, its far from accurate if you look into it
