Cannibal Holocaust and Cannibal Ferox are cool movies.

Not bothered about the animal scenes - certainly not a reason to condemn it.

Not condemning it really, it's my personal favourite exploitation shocker. Nothing has ever come close to beating it for me. Personally I think the final scenes are far more shocking than the animal scenes.

Is that the thing that happened to the homeless blokes in the Czech republic? If so, yeah, that was indeed sick and shocking.

I presume this thread is intended for films made for entertainment? Doubt it was intended for films showing actual murder.

Back on topic, A Serbian Film for me. Am downloading the aforementioned films about GG Allen.

i realize that, its about shocking videos and i stated in my original post i went a little off topic, no harm done, its still a video, and its a shocking video so it sort of fits.

I agree but it is about the most shocking "film" you've ever seen. Video is different. Video implies youtube uploads. Film implies art.
Anyways no biggy! The Ukrainian thing is a shocking video. Made me feel uneasy to my core. A Serbian Film is the most shocking film i've ever seen though. It tattoo'd itself to my frontal lobe and it is here to stay

good thread

as already mentioned.. irreversible is a shocking film..

reqium for a dream, the excorsist (saw this when i was 13 and couldnt sleep for a week!)

A Short Film About Killing
Director: Krzysztof Kieslowski

A brilliant shocking film IMO. Hard to see how anyone could support capital punishment after watching it.

Morlar

'SKyline' was pretty shocking have to say.

Apart from that the takeshi one 'Visitor Q'.

It's shocking for the sake of being shocking though. Pretty much a pointless film.

TheUsual

I was going to say the jail rape scenes in "American History X" or "Shawshank Redemption".
But yeah after someone said "Oldboy", I agree.
I won't spoil the ending but it's just wrong.

Dead Man Walking.

Amazing film. The Changeling is one that sticks in my mind. Terribly sad and based on real events too.

floutingmaxims

Without any doubt it was 'I spit on your grave'. Watched it with my cousin.. it was awkward.

Having heard it mentioned elsewhere previously, I just read a synopsis when you mentioned the film here.
Why on earth would anyone watch that?

bradolf pittler

martyrs...didnt really see what the fuss was about

calvaire(the ordeal)..really disturbing french horror/thriller

D'oh! Me fail Geography! That is indeed the one I was thinking of.

gazzer

Martyrs was a really tough movie to watch imo (especially the last half hour)

Storm Warning (aussie horror movie) was pretty bad too. Especially the

part where the woman put the broken glass inside her when she knew she was going to be raped

Audition really fcuked with my head.

A Serbian Movie was totally torture porn for the sake of it. That bit with the woman giving birth was disgusting.

Mindkiller

Watched the Vanishing last night. It wasn't shocking as such but deeply unsettling (even though I had the ending spoiled for me).

smash

I still think Martyrs was the worst because it's based on a scenario that could be real. I watched A Serbian Film over the weekend and it didn't really affect me.

I often thought this about Martyrs, Somewhere in the world there HAS to be a place like that...madness!

Mindkiller

Right, I just watched that serbian film. I'm not sure what to do with myself now but that was probably the worst thing I've ever watched

I would sincerely doubt it really.....or at least not in the way that is presented in the film. By far the most disturbing film I have ever seen, after watching that I knew horror had crossed a line that I really didn't want to cross myself.

Love actually.

The Clinic - Not talking about the RTE series lol. This is an Australian film. Would imagine not a lot of people will know it. http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1345772/ Very messed up it has to be said.

Re reading this thread came across this.......

Are you for real ffs lol that film was the biggest load of moany awful females trying to act with a ****ing horrible winey soundtrack played over it.

The story itself was a decent enough concept but the director made it into a total over the top feminine load of ****e.

Shocking indeed :pac:

Seriously Australian films should just feck off.

By the way im surprised no one has mentioned August Underground Mordum in here.

I mean compared to some of the ****e people are crying about its pretty mad lol. Its hard to watch though because of how its filmed. And by that i mean its literally filmed with an old video camera ha.

I just watched Martyrs now and it wasn't as bad as I was expecting (although it was very hard to watch in places)

I was expecting more scenes of the younger girl's abuse, which would have upset me to a greater extent.

From what I've heard about A Serbian Film, I can't say I would ever have any desire to watch a newborn baby or a young child being raped. That crosses the line for me and goes beyond horror into a completely different realm.

The latter is far more based in real life than Martyrs, sadly.

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

To me this was the most disturbing film I have ever seen. Maybe because I'm an identical twin. I hated this film. But it is a masterpiece - especially Iron's performance.

Also "One Flew Over The Cookoo's Nest". Saw it in the cinema when I was about 10.

This thread is asking us to name the most shocking film we have ever seen. Why bother come onto this thread and moan about people watching shocking films?

To satisfy your lust for outrage, my friend had the film downloaded on his laptop. He had been carping for months that we would never watch it. He was at my house and we were all there so we threw it on. So the answer to your question is: curiosity.

I have since rewatched it and have to disagree with some people who say it is muck. It is actually far from muck and, in my opinion, is a very important film

Thought John Carpenters the fog was pretty disturbing when I was younger, the whole movie is so eerie

Otis Driftwood

Ive read through this entire thread and Ive seen pretty much everything on the list so Im much more likely to be more jaded than most movie viewers but I didnt find A Serbian Film even remotely shocking.

I first heard about it about 3 years ago when it was still in production.Its clear the director set out from the beginning to hype the bejaysus out of the movie and to a certain extent it worked however for this viewer,it was a case of style over substance.

The most infamous scene

"new born porn"

is so ridiculous in ideal that its actually laughable.The most shocking movies for me are ones that are based in reality or that could actually happen.Now Im not saying that its impossible something like this could happen,but the chances of it are so infinitely small

particularly that the mother was a willing participant

that :rolleyes: was the only reaction I got.

Also with the ending,it was so bloody obvious what the big reveal was going to be that any potential impact was almost totally diluted.I will say though,the effects work was fantastic in it but apart from that its very much meh.

Someone mentioned Slaughtered Vomit Dolls earlier in the thread.What a piece of garbage.Its essentially a soft core porn movie made by a narcissistic little ego maniac with a vomit fetish marketed as a horror movie to get more people to watch it.Again,:rolleyes:.

The Human Centipede.Im more shocked by the amount of people that found this piece of absolute shít even remotely shocking.Fine,the idea of it is a bit out there but its execution and delivery is as big a waste of time as anything Ive ever had the displeasure to sit through,and Ive seen PS I Love you.:pac:

So what did shock me.

Martyrs stayed with me for days after viewing it.It has such a relentlessly bleak tone and the final 30 minutes or so is some tough going and is superbly acted by Morjana Alaoui.

Cannibal Holocaust shocked me,or more so the animal cruelty scenes.Its easy to say that they are there to solely shock (which Id say to a certain extent is true) but they are there for a reason if anyone cares to scratch a little deeper.

August Underground and August Underground Mordum both packed a punch for me.With alot of horror movies they tend to glam up the carnage,not these two.Shot as point of view movies from a serial killers perspective they cover,in graphic detail,the acts of a depraved mind.

Finally,Cutting Moments is a tough watch.Its only around half an hour long and contains little dialogue but that doesnt stop it hitting you like a freight train.Bleak does not do it justice.

I saw the original when I was 12. Very tough watching, especially the whole morgue scene.

CrazyRabbit

Innocent Voices - Top of my list
The whole film is shocking as it covers a civil war and child soldiers, but this one part sticks out. The actors were all new to acting, yet they absolutely nailed these difficult few scenes. Spoiler... http://youtu.be/Dt4HSeE7UZY

Funny games

Kid blasted with shotgun. The bad guys win, and the good family all die.

Mysterious Skin

Well the whole film covers the effects of child sexual abuse. Most shocking part was one of the boys injuring a mentally disabled kid with fireworks and then giving him oral sex in a weird attempt to prevent him from telling anyone.

12 and Holding

Two twins. One dies in a fire caused by a bully. The remaining twin plots the death of the bully and succeeds. Oh, and there's an 12 year old girl stalking a guy, watching him naked in a shower and then stripping off in front of him. WTF!

Let me in (Swedish version).

How the vampire girl Eli is grooming Oskar so that he can replace her aging protector, Hakan.

A Serbian Film

Oh where to begin...a newborn being raped, a woman & child being killed and then sodomised by the drugged out father who doesn't know it's them. And then the last few seconds, where they introduce necrophilia and say to the guy "Start with the little one (the boy).

I think the remake was better than the original. When I watched the remake i had somehow gotten it into my head that it was a comedy remake, the OH was not impressed

MyKeyG

Out of the few that I've seen repeated here I could watch them all again except for Cannibal Holocaust! American History X curb scene didn't even phase me at the time and while the rape scene in Irreversible was disturbing it had nothing on CH. The graphic sadistic sexual violence portrayed is so unsettling it's hard to believe it was conceived by a sane rational mind (but then again I watched it).

The Human Centipede is on The Syfy Chanel now, not long started.

Child abduction scene sticks with me forever.

why not? with a horror movie its not based on reality but this was, I was personally shocked at what Edward Nortons character did.

ahch never...Happiness is one of my all time top ten American movies, Philip Seymour Hoffman is stunning in it. Palindromes is difficult but honest and affecting. Requiem For a Dream was stunning though the book was better, yes it's bleak, like half the world.

Loved Happiness. When the son asks his paedo dad (after his dad's paedophilia became public knowledge) whether his dad would **** him and his dad said that he wouldnt **** him but would rather watch him and jack off, needless to say that my jaw fell. Dark dark humour at play and brilliantly done. The acting makes that film though.
Most of the aforementioned films like Cannibal Holocaust etc come from leftfield or are foreign films like "A Serbian Film". Happiness has an unbelievable cast. Which makes it slightly more impressive in a way as such shocking realities are presented yet it got such backing

I think all of these have already been mentioned so I wont go into detail on any of them.

For a long time it was the Human Centipede. That was the first film I watched and thought it was properly effed up. I'm NEVER going to Germany after watching that.

That was then replaced by Cannibal Hollocaust and I had to fast forward past that turtle scene (likely having pet turtles played a part). The best thing about this film was those cnuts of a film crew got exactly what they deserved.

It's now August Underground Mordum, I had to switch it off after half an hour, I just couldnt watch it anymore and I have a very strong stomach. It was the first, and thus far only, film that I havent been able to watch. Sure, I've turned films off before but thats because they were muck. Mordum is just messed up.
