Several people walked off set during shooting this scene. It was too much for a lot of people. The director commentary on the millenium edition dvd is very interesting, including the event that the director based it on.

I "like" that the rape scenes are so real, because it takes away any chance of them feeling titilating, (contrary to many critic's accusations). The scenes make you physically ill and disturb you to your core.

Which, needless to say, were feelings I was very relieved to feel. ISOYG is one of those rare movies where I've had a very negative reaction to onscreen nudity. And thank god for that.

You are soo on about the Nick Berg video, I disgusted to the point of vomiting.
The only other real life disturbing image are the plane crashing into the WTC, it was just surreal.
But since we're talking about films:
Blair Witch is waaaay up there becuz I was one of those people who saw it before finding out it was fake.
I couldn't sleep that night at all!! Everytime I looked up at my ceiling fan, it was those fucking stick figures....I was literally in my living room all night watching television to get those images out of my head.
I've haven't seen Jacob's Ladder, is it that fucked up??? Requiem, I couldn't stay up so I have to rent that one again.
Any other movies you recomment that are disturbing.

Would you regard Eraserhead as horror? It's almost a genreless film, but disturbing none the less. What the hell is going on with the women in the radiator? And the baby? And the whole...'Eraserhead' scene?

I also have to second The Eye and Audition. Specifically the scene in Audition *SPOILERS* with the man with no hands, no feet and no tounge, from the first time to bad moves to when she feeds him her own vomit. Horrible. *END SPOILERS*

Allow me to be the first to say the SAW trailers too. Jesus, that's going to be some film.

I was gonna say this, but soultaker has beaten me to it. A friend and I circa mid 80's actually had to turn the movie off at the 45 minute mark and get high because we were so rattled.

For some reason Alucarda almost made me feel guilty for enjoying it so much. I guess because I grew up in a very religious family and it is so very anti-religious.

EDIT

King of the Ants is pretty disturbing as well.

As a kid I was a pretty easy creep mark. Pet Sematary, The Twilight Zone movie (the part with the gremlin on the airplane), Nightmare on Elm Street 3 (with the little kid crying "Put me down, you're hurting me!" And being a skeleton), V, Halloween 3, and a couple others I can't remember at the moment.

As an adult, the Kim Sung Il beheading was something I wish now that I had never seen. I was creeped out by Donnie Darko, whether that counts or not, and by Day of the Dead. Not so much creeped out, but the gore was almost too much for me at the end. The Exorcist, The Haunting, Texas Chainsaw Massacre, The Devil's Advocate, and games like Eternal Darkness and The Resident Evil Series have also creeped me out.

We released Das Experiment in the UK a couple years back and the BBC mounted a reality show based on the film/real life experiement -- 20 people, isolated Big Brother style, but in a prison environment, split up into prisoner/wardens. The whole deal.

The BBC pulled the plug on the show 5 days in after it, surprise !, blew up into full scale violence.

You can't buy that kind of publicity.

It's nice to see that people are still disturbed when they watch videos of real people being decapitated. I had almost lost hope in mankind.

I watched that Peter Jackson Flick, Heavenly Creatures? with my grandparents when I was young. I don't even remember the story, but I remember someone getting beat with a sack of bricks and moving statues, or something...I should rent and watch again, I was too young to comprehend.

The most disturbing horrormovie i have seen to this day is CANNIBAL HOLOCAUST. Marina De Van's IN MY SKIN also left me behind pretty disturbed. The most disturbing film of all time has to be IRRÉVERSIBLE.

As stated earlier, BLOODSUCKING FREAKS.... ugh. Shut it off partway through and have never bothered to go back. The meathook scene in the first TEXAS CHAINSAW MASSACRE was also pretty rough... shut that one off too, but did eventually revisit the film and make it through (barely).

Non-horror, but KALIFORNIA did me in bigtime. The tension just kept getting cranked up, and then the inevitable eventually happened. Definitely left a sick pit in my stomache. Some stuff, like LAST HOUSE ON THE LEFT and IRREVERSIBLE, I know not to even bother with.

Heavenly Creatures is outright fantastic. That is indeed a fantastic movie. It's also the movie I brought up when any of my friends expressed skeptism about Peter Jackson's ability to direct LOTR.

Speaking of Jackson, anyone else seen Meet The Feebles? Now THAT is one incredibly fucked up movie. And I've never laughed so hard and been so disturbed at the same time.

If you haven't seen it, think Muppets On Acid-- BAD acid, and lots of it.

You know, this really isn't a horror movie, but one of the flicks that disturbed up as a kid and still has me fucked up to this day is Sliver w/Sharon Stone. After I watched that I became extremely paranoid of mirrors and still to this day I'm paranoid. I mean with the technology nowadays you could hide cameras anywhere and no one would notice. Makes me a little nervous.

I'm a huge Heavenly Creatures fan, I found it disturbing as hell. You can really see Jacksons style beginning to take shape here, he has a very unique style. The murder sequence is one of my favorite moments in cinema.

Das Experiment is an excellent film. Any plans for the BBC footsge to be released on DVD?

A few things that freaked me out:

Return of the Living Dead - not that the movie was really any scary, but one scene totally creeped me out when I saw it: the scene where they have that zombie woman stapped to the table and are talking to her and she's telling them how it feels to be dead. "You can feel your flesh rot..." all while she's there moving and trying to bite them, etc. I was a kid when I saw it and it stuck with me for years.

Robocop - it's not a horror film, but the scene where Clarence is holding the shotgun over Murphy's body and intimidating him...what a scene. Try to put yourself into that moment and imagine how you'd feel...that whole thing of seeing that barrel travel all over your body...hoping he won't shoot, praying he won't shoot, but knowing he probably will - but where? And then BOOM.

Reservoir Dogs - when the cop is tied up, and at the mercy of Mr. White...wow....esp when he pours the gasoline on him.

When I Was younger the maggots in the arms in Helraiser II got me good, but the only film that makes me deeply uncomfortable watching it is Nicholas Roeg's Don't Look Now. There's something going on in that film that is just not right.

Make them die slowly- That one really stuck with me as a kid.

Salem's lot- The original TV movie had a great look for the vampires, I had nightmares after the little boy was floating outside the window, scratching on the pane.

Seven- First movie I had to sit in the theater in amazement and shock before I could get up.

Communion, Close encounters and Fire in the sky- Anything to do with Grays or abductions, any of those big black eyed bastards still gets me. YOU HEAR ME YA LITTLE GRAY FUCKS!

Happiness- That one has enough creep for a hundred horror flicks.

Audition and I Spit on Your Grave were pretty disturbing, but only one movie seriously got to me since I've been a teenager on to adulthood and it's very, VERY embarrassing to name that film. Maximum Overdrive fucked me up for some time. Yes, that's ridiculous in and of itself but I have a deep phobia of trucks and this silly B-Movie played off these fears enough that I was nervously eyeballing heavy machinery for weeks after I saw it. I was sixteen. That's my excuse.

The last movie to ever get me was Forever Evil when I was eight. The part where Marc dreams about his dead girlfriend and she says "I've decided I'm going to ..... (insert super scary deep demon voice) KEEP THE BABY" and then that clay-motion demon baby starts wiggling around scared the absolute dogpiss out of me. I couldn't sleep for a while. I guess that was the absolute scariest thing in the world to me, because since then, nothing affects me at all. I'm still hoping though!
