Posted: 6/18/07 at 2:03amI think the most disturbing film I've ever seen overall is ABOUT SCHMIDT.

Salve, Salve Regina
Ad te clamamus exsules filii Eva
Ad te suspiramus, gementes et flentes

Posted: 6/18/07 at 2:10amNo. The actual subject matter of that film is very real and very scary and can happen to anyone if they're not careful.

Posted: 6/18/07 at 9:38amRussian Roulette from "The Deer Hunter". It's why I will never watch this movie again.

Posted: 6/18/07 at 10:07amOh, dear. Which part of the riches of ick that is IN A GLASS CAGE is the most disturbing? Would it be the scene where the young man pulls the child molesting former Nazi out of his iron lung and masturbates on his face? Or the scene where the young child is stabbed through the breastplate with a syringe? Choices, choices...

surprisingly, mine comes from "The Exoricist", but it isnt the usual spots that freak people out.
First, when Chris goes up into the attic to check on the "mice" with the candle.
Second, after Merrin's heart attack and Damien is trying to revive him, the look on Regan's face as she stares at them, then in her next shot, she's giggling like a little girl who's played an innnocent prank...

That entire movie is disturbing.
The Singin in the Rain scene from Clockwork Orange..

The whole movie GUMMO was pretty horrifying and disturbing.
The part where Robert Deniro puts his hands in the mouth of Juliette Lewis in CAPE FEAR, was really disturbing.
The GRUDGE as whole is completely disturbing, as is SAW.

Recently, I was traumatized by the scene in LITTLE CHILDREN between Jackie Earl Hayley and Jane Adams...in the car...after the date.
I nearly turned the movie off after that. God I wish Haley won that Oscar(r).

Posted: 6/18/07 at 11:34amEh, that scene more reminded me of prom night.

Posted: 6/18/07 at 11:39amNo contest-the end of Requiem for a Dream.
#13re: Most Disturbing Movie Moment?
Posted: 6/18/07 at 11:47amJane, I was just about to say that. Uh, so disturbing. That whole movie is so disturbing, but so well done.

I'll third Requiem for a Dream.
I also find the big sweeping camera move into the face of Jack Nicholson in The Shining to be particularly disturbing. Also, parts of American Psycho got me going, too.

Posted: 6/18/07 at 11:59amThe guy getting curb-checked in American History X. I can't ever watch that again.

Posted: 6/18/07 at 12:03pmFAR FROM HEAVEN is also extremely disturbing to me, for the same reasons ABOUT SCHMIDT was. Both films are about people sacrificing their true humanities for the greater good (no HOT FUZZ jokes please) of society. This is something that can happen to ANYONE: your parents, your grandparents, your friends, your enemies...anyone...
#17re: Most Disturbing Movie Moment?
Posted: 6/18/07 at 12:31pmIn addition to several already mentioned, there are several moments in Hostel: Part II that definitely crossed a line with me (namely, the bathtub scene and "Snoopy Gets Fixed").

Posted: 6/18/07 at 12:41pmooo...raphael, you're right. That scene is American History X is probably even worse than Requiem for a Dream (if we have to compare them).

Posted: 6/18/07 at 12:43pmI could not disagree less on HOSTEL II, broadway86. I thought it was an EXTREMELY tame film that took no risks. It tried to force horror-movie-shocks on a story that was NOT horror film material. It should have been something more sadistic and something more interesting such as Salo or something. Eli Roth, ironically considering the ending of HOSTEL II, has no balls.

Posted: 6/18/07 at 2:00pmAny of the Rosanna Arquette scenes in CRASH (the ORIGINAL titled CRASH, I mean).

"It should have been something more sadistic and something more interesting such as Salo or something."
Okay, Cruel, THAT disturbs me.
So it's not disturbing to physically destroy a human body in a torture scene, but if the lovers involved can't be together romantically at the end... that's deeply disturbing?

Less?

You're kidding.
It tried to force horror-movie-shocks on a story that was NOT horror film material.
A torture-for-pay organization preying on young people ISN'T horror movie material?
Eli Roth, ironically considering the ending of HOSTEL II, has no balls.
Totally disagree.
