yeah its strange how different films affect different people. The ring just made me laugh (not nervously). But the Vanishing - the original French/maybe Dutch was real scary. Affected me quite deeply. Very clever film though.

I'd have to say Scrapbook. At times I thought I was watching an acutal snuff movie.

I was going to mention the same film.
Up until I saw "Henry - Portrait of a Serial Killer"..."Blue Velvet" was probably the film that was the most unsettling to me.
There were one or two scenes in that film which did shock me.
Overall, the surreal, weird atmosphere is sort of shocking enough anyway,..but any scenes with Frank in can be guaranteed to shock you.
That first scene where we first get to see Frank was very shocking.
The one where the boy, (Kyle Mclachlan sp) is hiding in fear in the wardrobe, being forced to watch Frank (Dennis Hopper) abuse the nightclub singer (Isabella Rossilini) through the wooden slits in the wardrobe door.
Every time Frank put on the gas mask, it was usually a pretty shocking scene. He was just so scarily deranged. That bit where he said "Baby wants to f**k" was really freaky. Just the way he said it put chills down my spine.
David Lynch is so good at providing shocks in many of his films. Even his "Twin Peaks" movie had shock moments in, like the scene where that evil looking guy is just standing up from the side of Laura's bed. Hard to explain, but there were just scenes in that film that were so weird that they kind of took you by surprise and shocked you.
Flawed film, but shocking in parts, in an eerie weird sort of way.

SounRAB like you are talking about 'When the Wind Blows'
Oh, for anyone who's interested, 'Audition', which I keep banging on about as one of the most disturbing films I've ever seen, is on this Friday night/Saturday morning at 1.40 am, on the Sci-Fi channel.

Funny Games, was an atempt by the director to go against the grain of film making.
Most of the rules of a drama/horror where broken in this film.
Stuff like cutting to a different scene when usually the audience would expect to see some sorta horro or death scene. And also the shot of the knife on the jetti, in a normal horror this would mean it is a important part of the film, you would expect it to be used later, but its not. Its all put together to annoy the audience and give film students something to use as examples in dissertations.
SLIGHT SPOILER: I also noticed this in the film "The Hole" its the only film I can remember in which the bad-guy wins in the end.

Also, 'The Magdalene Sisters' - knowing that this kind of stuff went on up until relatively recently. Appalling.
I can't remember the name of a film that disturbed me.
I'd been out with my mates and we were crashing at hers and had the tv on and this film came on - we were only half watching it.
It was about this girl or woman that got raped and then killed in her house. And then something esle happened but i can't remember what, but the most disturbing bit was the rapist/killer stated watching the whole family and like plotting his next attacks. And he picked on the little girl (bout 4, must have been the daughter of sister), and he would watch her at playschool playing in a playhouse, and he was just sitting there and the film in that part was from his POV, it ws so disturbing coz it felt like it was you that was watching this child.
Horrible, never want to see, but don't know what its called so i cant avoid it

The Passion Of The Christ - seeing the appaling torture inflicted and knowing that this really happened makes the whole viewing experience unbelievably disturbing. Especially when it was toned down for the big screen as to how it would have really have been at that time.
The Accused was horrific too.
Films like The Exorcist, The Ring and stuff like that don't really affect me in the same way.
As you can see from the two I mention, films and shows that show the inhumanity ordinary people are capable of dishing out to others are the worst of all - an earlier mention in this thread of the scenes in Platoon are a good example of what I mean.

Don't know if anyone has seen it as it hasn't been mentioned yet, but the film I find most disturbing, was 'A Short Film About Killing', its a Kieslowski film from the late 80's. I have quite a strong stomach and can cope with most things, but this film is the only film I have ever been unable to finish. It's just a bit too gritty and down to earth, that the realism within the film made it unbearable for me.
