Most disturbing movie you have seen?

I thought Midsommar & Under the Skin (the beach scene in particular) were both pretty disturbing but excellent.

That film turned into a comedy for me. The acting was so bad, and the plot so contrived, I was laughing too often.

There's a guy close to where I grew up, his son was friends with my brother, and he made films on a '0-budget' and one or two of his films were better quality than The Wind that shakes the Barley. (The rest were very, very silly).

My brother loves those kind of historical movies, and he struggled to watch it to the end.

An Irish film called "The Survivalist"

A post apocalytic ireland. Some very weird scenes. Overall quite grim. Compelling non the less.

This was genuinely one of the more disturbing scenes, however. I've seen assaults in film, but that was far worse than irreversible, imo.

Wolf Creek, I remember turning the DVD off early on and giving it away. I think some man was about to cut off some woman's tits at that stage, that was too much for me. I think that actress was in Home & Away in recent years.

Thought Wolf Creek was great myself.

Yep, much of the cast were in other stuff before the film. If you haven't seen them in anything else before that, the film is probably more effective. It did great in the US, for one thing. And that was because they were unfamiliar with much of the cast's previous work. So being a cast of unknowns (to them) it felt all too real - so the movie did really well over there.

I think one of the leads was in Home and Away before the movie. She was in a few things, Aussie TV, and that's where I spotted her from.

Unfortunately, I was all too familiar with much of the actor's previous work, so while it was a decent film, it wasn't scary or anything. And nobody gets an involuntary mastectomy. (Not really a spoiler to comment on something that doesn't actually happen in the movie).

If ever a movie uses the 'based on a true event/ events/ story'... take that with a grain of salt. The director has said he was inspired by hitchhiker's murders, but none of what happened in the movie happened irl.

There's a movie with Milla Jovovich called 'The Fourth Kind' that also claims to have been based on a true story. It's completely fictional, not even inspired by events. Claimed to have been based on the writings of a Dr. Abigail Taylor.

There is no Dr Abigail Taylor. Even the 'real life' Abigail Taylor, who appears in the movie, is played by an actress named Charlotte Milchard.
