Cannibal holocaust - 90 minutes of rape, dismemberment, real animal killing and a terrible soundtrack.

I agree with all that apart from the last point. Riz Ortolanis soundtrack is beautiful in parts, the opening theme especially. Dig this:

The most shocking film I've ever seen is either The Men Behind The Sun or Philosophy of a Knife - both of which are based on the same horrible real life events.

"Valhalla Rising" is also prety messed up in places but is still worth a watch all the same..
(if you're into mindless Viking violence that is..)

one of the funniest films ever made, it is a comedy after all.

If you ever read the book, laughing will be the furthest thing from your mind.

Not really as its a pile of crap!!

The

male and female genital mutilation

scenes are pretty shocking though.

That film Grim love about the German lad that ate another German lad's lad is pretty horrible. Not so much shocking, just the whole look and feel of the film would give you the no feeling

"Teeth".

Never again. Who honestly came up with a plot for that??

Seeing Harvey Keitel's langer was hard to take. I've never seen the full uncut version of the nun rape scene. Supposed to be very harrowing. I thought the film had a lot to say about the power of redemption. I thought it was a very religious film, strangely enough.

That's circumcision for ya.

Nil by mouth with Ray Winstone. Haven't watched it in years but it is a shocking and very hard to watch movie.

Unless you find someone's extreme knowledge of the complete works of Genesis and Whitney Houston disturbing!

Bateman dismissed Gabriel-era Genesis and only rated them as a band post-Duke (i.e. after 1980).

The Bad Lieutenant was a weird film, anyone ever see it?

Maybe I should see it again - saw it long ago, but don't remember it as all that shocking. After seeing loads of films that involve drug addiction, the things people do for drugs don't surprise me any more. (Trainspotting, anyone?)

For sheer OTT gore I have to mention Cold Fish. The shocking part was how casual it all was. The people behind it all seemed so nice, even as they were up to their elbows in someone's carcass. :eek:

But old films can be shocking too, even if they contain no overy violence. Peeping Tom is one, due to its context. Another was The Searchers, with John Wayne, which punctured much of the fantasy that Westerns had enjoyed till then. It wasn't exactly social realism, but it did leave the audience wondering just who was "right" in such situations.

and for the likes of von trier, i like his other stuff, but antichrist just sounds way too fcuked up & a try hard attempt at him to be controversial

Yeah wouldnt be a fan either. When I was younger I was a horror fanatic but its just boring at this stage.

Got to say, The Grey Zone did it for me. Not the film in its entirety just one scene when the Sonderkommandos were piling up the bodies and one callously throws the body of a small child onto the pile. It made me think think of how often that would have happened everyday at those camps. :mad::(

That's a brilliant film. Winstone is a legend.. he's been in some amount of controversial movies. The War Zone is very good too, and just as difficult to watch.

Anyone see Soldier Blue ? A 70s cowboy film with Candice Bergin and Peter Strauss. It was one of the best westerns that I have ever seen. It showed the cruelty inflicted on the Indians. There is a massacre towards the end of the film that is very shocking

Grey Zone was an atrocious film. Crap acting, low budget, just a waste of time. I didn't find it shocking for the very reason that it was so poor. Schlinders List, on the other hand, is one of the most moving pieces of cinema ever made.

"The Human Centipede" is without doubt the must messed up thing I have ever watched..

The b*astarding thing caught me unawares on the SciFi channel one night and I still feel sick at the thoughts of it...

Well if you didn't like that then you're probably not going to love its sequel...

I have, its in places too, but less rats and tubes in the movie, its probably the best adaptation of an unfilmable book to be honest.

Is it actually any good or just shocking? Quick look at Wikipedia and the concept sounds interesting.

Scalping!

Candice Bergen = sex p*iss.

The Princess Bride

Dead Ringers,with Jeremy Irons was bloody shocking in it's day.....probably wouldn't shock anyone nowadays.

Yee should read the book if you think the Film's gorey! :pac:oooooo

I've read some extracts from that book. If the book is an 8 or 9 in gore content then the movie must be a 3 or 4. Some insanely depraved stuff in that.

I'm going to have to watch A Serbian Film just so I have something to post in these threads

It's not very good no. Honestly I only watched it due to its infamous reputation(being a complete gore hound!). In that regard though it definately lived up to the hype. Especially the scenes involving a tortoise and the burying of a child. Very disturbing.

Sgt. Bilko 09

I just googled that :eek:

No!!! That sounds way too bad.

There were two scenes that sickened me in "Casino". The head in the vice scene and the beatings in the corn field were very disturbing, I thought.

Mensch Maschine

Gummo - All sorts of weirdos in that film. One guy pimps out his Downs syndrome wife out.
Palindromes
Ichi The Killer - Ultra violence
Cannibal Hollacaust
Necromantik - guess, haha, easy one that.
Dead Man's Shoes - not that shocking but it's some scenes are memorable.
Kids - A skater kid who just got AIDS goes around de-virginzing young girls.
Faces Of Death
Salo - one girl in it gets forced to eat ****.
Happiness - Dad finds out his sons school friend's parents are away and he goes over to do things. Pretty mental.

The film Big Nothing with Simon Pegg and David Schwimmer is pretty fcuking messed up in parts come to think of it, excellent film though.

Galwayguy35 wrote: »

Quite loosely, mostly based on the Backpacker Murders in New South Wales in late 80's and early 90's. Apart from its setting in the Australian outback and a serial killer there's very little connecting the real events to the film to be honest.

I was going to say Dead mans shoes.the rite I found very disturbing.i wanted to walk out it was that bad.untouchable was bad too.gothika freaked me out.

eternal

the strangers was disturbing.i remember the whole cinema jumping.not shocking persay though

Requiem for a Dream was a horrible film to watch. Shocking stuff.
