Thanks for the explanation, Cruel. I still think it's messed up, but that's my opinion.

doodle--I can by the "freaked out" explanation, but I'm deeply disturbed by the idea of people wanting to be "freaked out" that way.

And Borstalboy---Since you didn't get my parallel analogy on your "art" thread... How 'bout you just f*ck off, and quit telling me where to put my posts and what to say? Is that clearer?

"Creeps the hell out of me."

Yes! He was sublime in his creepiness. I do believe he was nominated for that role. I may be wrong, I must go check on that.

I think he deserved an oscar.

p.s. I checked-he was not nominated. But Silence took a lot of awards that year.

Don't get me wrong, I think Silence of the Lambs is a great film. I even own the 2-disc special edition. But just...swaying around in that robe, all tucked and whatnot...augh!

Uh, tonight I watched the '74 version of Texas Chainsaw Massacre and I was feeling queasy for an hour afterwards. And after all the votes for American History X, I just went to check out that scene on Youtube- I couldn't even make it to the gory part. Just seeing him put his mouth on the curb was enough to make me flip.

Ditto to most of Silence of the Lambs- "Hello, Clariiiiice."

Curiosity got the better of me, and I checked out that clip.
Dear God.

I'd agree that the original versions of NIGHT OF THE LIVING DEAD and TEXAS CHAINSAW MASSACRE are pretty well full-length Disturbing Moments.

More isolated moments:

A moment in FANNY AND ALEXANDER when two children find their mother screaming in anguish over their dead father's coffin.

That horrible bit in RESERVOIR DOGS when Mr. Blonde starts to dance to "Stuck In The Middle With You."

The big seagull attack in THE BIRDS, especially the moments of Melanie in the phone booth.

Big chunks of Terry Gilliam's TIDELAND, where a little girl makes friends with a mentally damaged young man, not realizing that her flirtatious mannerisms are going to lead to disaster.

I would have to say Henry: Portrait of a Serial Killer. It is one of the most realistic films I've ever seen. It was very well done, but the images are so disturbing to me, that I could never watch it again.

Last House on the Left, Hills Have Eyes (Original) and Mother's Day spring to mind...many of those "trauma" films.

And perhaps, even though the movie is hilarious...Dead Alive can be quite disturbing.

That really was disturbing, DG. What saved me from being totally freaked out was how preposterous it was.

I have to give another vote to Requiem for a Dream. That was, hands down, the most disturbing movie I have ever seen.

I think Texas Chainsaw Massacre and the original Evil Dead are more disturbing than anything I've seen made recently...as I said before, this isn't new, but it does get regurgitated every few years...Saw, Hostel, Cabin Fever are all just decendants of these films...they arent getting away with much more...and the audiences are starting to tire.

I remember being upset with the end of Sleepaway Camp...the resolve was seen from a mile away, yet the visual was stunning and ferocious.

I also get more creeped when children are involved...somehow it's so much worse. (This does not include horny teens, who, as we all know, have it coming!)

I saw Requiem twice in movie houses, and many times on tv. Both times at the theater, when the film ended, no one in the audience made a sound or could move for a long time after the credits rolled.

A truly disturbing experience.
