Weirdest, most chilling, most ****ed up film you've seen?

I was in the cinema with my mates watching it and had no idea that scene was going to happen. I had to keep looking away and didnt want my frienRAB to notice. Kept looking back as as I thought id would be over but it got even more gorier, seemed to go on for flipping ever.

I seriously thought any second I was going to be sick in my seat in the cinema and dreading it as it was packed & I would probably have to puke all over myself or the others around me! But my mates thought that scene was funny and me when they noticed me looking queezy:D
 
Irreversible
Salo
Eraserhead
Cannibal Holocaust
Inside
Guinea Pig II: The Flower of Flesh and Blood

And it makes my skin crawl to type the worRAB - Mysterious Skin



But if I had to pick one it would have to be Salo
 
still a bit nervous about watching Salo after a few years of "i probably should watch it now"

i found Irreversible quite uncomfortable viewing, likewise Requiem for a Dream


Just this very week i have been digging up whatever i can find of Alejandro Jodorowsky, which is pretty peculiar stuff, not necessarily shockingly graphic but certainly peculiar enough to be bewildering
 
Audition is one to put on the list, Very strange ending. One of the worst has to be The Piano Teacher (La pianiste), I was an usher and had loaRAB walk out and one scene in particular made one woman feel really ill and it was very very very hard to watch.
 
I see your points, but I never considered Weekend to be f*cked-up at its core, more a quite serious and sober take on internal and external social politics. Godard's choices in expressing this visually to the audience, however, is certainly something quite unique. So f*cked-up that way perhaps. And yes, it's not easy viewing, but I think it's one film that a lot more should see....though it has been said that no-one could empty a cinema quite as quickly as Godard :(
 
"Creep"

My son told me that it is the most trashy laughable horror film ever made, but it absolutely terrified me as I watched it through my fingers.
Now when I use the London underground I am always reminded of it. :eek:
 
Visitor Q is out there as well, but in a good way.

soonplus, if you are in any way unsure about Salo, don't bother. Seriously, odRAB are you'll hate it and it'll put a load of images in your head you won't want there.
 
Eden Lake.. just found it all too much and wouldn't be able to see it again. Was the only film I've ever seen which left me shaking afterwarRAB, though haven't seen most of the films on this thread yet!
 
Event Horizon. Maybe if I had watched that film when I was older (or the age I am now) it wouldn't have effected me the way it did. I thought it was the scariest, creepiest, more effed up thing I'd ever seen at the time. I couldn't sleep without the light off for a few days!

Probably the only film of Paul WS Anderson I'll appreciate.
 
Dusan Makavejev's elusive-until-recent-years 'Sweet Movie' is by no measure chilling, but it's certainly indubitably weird, and possibly very ***cked-up too depending on one's personal constitution. I loved it. What it paved the way for though was for me to track down some of Otto Muehl's avant-garde and performance art films from the 60s and 70s, which fulfilled the triptych of criteria; including 'chilling' - an effect enhanced by their primitive and ephemeral verite/rough-edited film technique; like something akin to scatological snuff that makes you feel a creeping, crawling ashamedness to be bearing witness to (despite much of it being conducted in public spaces).
 
Most shocking

Make them die slowly
Cannibal Holocaust
Faces & Traces of death series

Most chilling

The Entity,the soundtrack is freaky.

Weirdest

The rape scene from The Haunting(1991)
Videodrome
Naked Lunch
 
The first time I watched Bloody Sunday it made me feel really uncomfortable. I think because of the way its filmed to seem like a documentary, and the fact that it did actually happen... I'm not sure but I was only about 15 when i saw it and it really upset me.
 
Yeah The Piano Teacher is a good one, it also gets away with it by being French and arty. If it had been American it'd have gone on the banned list I suspect.
