      I haven't watched that movie yet because I read the book. That was such a hard read. I kept hoping for a moment where I could relax so I could take a break from reading it, but that didn't happen. Instead I took breaks when the book got too intense. Between that book and Offspring, I somehow became a fan of Jack Ketchum as a writer. That's a positive thing I suppose lol.

    Trivia: The girl that played Cebe in Out of The Blue is Linda Manz. She played Solomon's mother in Gummo. You could think of Gummo as an unofficial follow-up to Out of the Blue. Makes sense. Aleksey Kravchenko had a small role in The Painted Bird. He played Flyora Gayshun in Come In See. I think I watched the film Savage Streets when I was little. It looks like the kind of film my dad would watch back then. Looks very familiar.

I don't want to say why here just in case anybody wants to watch it....okay you've twisted my arm, vague spoilers from this point. I found it uplifting because it's moves from a bad situation to a good situation. Moreover, it's people in a potentially bad situation who take action and make their situation better. It illustrates how one good person can make a difference in people's lives.

    Hello Emma!
    The Isle (Seom) by Kim Kiduk is an amazing disturbing korean film from the 2000 and one of my favourite films in general. It's about a woman who's willingly refuses to speak and her relationship with a man with questionable past. It's very sad, very slow, full of beautiful shots of nature and features a few very interesting and distribing ways to use a fishing hook.

    Okay, who let Savage Streets into the house? When I saw that film get recommended, I had a total flashback to late 80's video rentals. There are only a handful of movies I hate to admit I saw and Savage Streets is one of them. It was directed by Danny Steinmann who also directed "Friday The 13th, Part 5: A New Beginning", which is also known for its excessive female nudity. How I know that little bit of trivia can only be explained that I must have rented both films around the same time and that director's name just stuck out.

    Gardens of the Night wasn't for me, but I remember being totally blown away by Ryan Simpkins, who plays Leslie as a child. (Her brother is Ty Simpkins from the Insidious franchise, talented family!) I'm glad she's still acting as an adult, that kind of talent is rare.

    Please watch The Coffee Table (2022). If you can... this movie is one that grabs you with a crazy traumatic accident AND NEVER let's you go... or forget it. I've never felt like this in a movie. It's an anxiety inducing manic dark comedy.

    I'm so freaking happy you enjoyed (?) The Painted Bird. It's honestly one of my favorite disturbing movies. Just like A Serbian Film, I think it's a combination of the filmmaking and acting that really put it at the top of my list. I've def added a few of the rest on this list to my watch list! Thanks Emma! 💙

      You should watch Come and See at night because the experience is horrifyingly better. I had nightmares for 5 weeks afterwards and I actually aged from 21 to 28 leaving my Woody traumatised for life but I’m more traumatised than him which made me have a close bond with Come and See lately and I’ve not left the movies side since

    Not sure if you have talked about this one yet, but Dave Made a Maze. It is basically a guy that builds a cardboard maze in his living room and his friends begrugingly join him in his wacky antics. But seriously this movie had me glued to the screen, spotting all the little details they crammed into the maze. It's clear the filmmakers had a blast building this thing, and that passion just shines through. I don't want to say too much, but it has a lot of fantastic practical effects and unique visuals. Def worth a watch.

I don't begrudge anyone their right to be disturbed by A Serbian Film, but there's just so much else out there!

    Debris Documentor
    The angels melancholia
    Martyrs
    And yes I've seen all the obligatory "most disturbing" (Serbian film, human centipede series, August underground etc.)
    Edit: After watching the video I'd like to add in that I apologize in advance, these movies will completely scar you, I don't recommend even watching the marian Dora films. They're the most disgusting thing I've ever seen.
    In their stead I'd like to recommend "Life and death of a porno gang" and "black metal veins".

    Your Monster (2023) rom com with an edge
    Bath Bomb (2024) disturbing short
    In a violent nature (2024) gory slasher
    Exhuma (2024) Korean supernatural horror

    I'd give I guess what I'd call a soft recommendation for a film called All I See Is You. It's imperfect and very mainstream-feeling in a lot of ways, but there's a reveal in it midway through that just shook and horrified me so much I still considering it one of the most disturbing movies I've ever seen. It's really more a personal thing, I think, than anything the film itself is doing (it's playing with some of my greatest fears), but I do think it's a shame it's so overlooked. It's not a great film, but it deserves some appreciation. And Blake Lively's performance is quite good.

The fact that her kids joined in on her psychosis it absolutely, exquisitely disturbing. It is the kind of film I never wish I watched.
