Originally posted by geniusI felt pretty ill after watching "Happiness" ... It's a really good film, but ... I think that they should change the title to "Sadness" or "Sickness" or ... 🙄
just wondering what the most disturbing film you've see would be? i'd have to say 8mm, a rather sick look at the underground porn industrie, or "the animal", which is a pretty gross-out, although hilarious, film which somehow gets away with beastality etc while only being a 12...😕
The Grey Zone is probably the most disturbing movie I've watched. Its bloody brilliant though.
Kids is pretty disturbing.
Other than that, movies involving the Catholic Church always seem to be disturbing, what with all child abuse (verbal, physical and sexual). Two excellent, yet highly disturbing movies which look at catholic influences on Ireland in the 50's, 60's and 70's are 'Songs of a Raggy Boy' and 'The Magdalene Sisters.

Thats one disturbing movie.
The most disturbing movie I have ever seen in my life is "Kids". Usually I absolutely love indie flicks that aim to be disturbing and to make the mainstream audiences cringe a little (a good example is Happiness, which I really enjoyed despite it's VERY odd storylines lol), but "Kids" is so far the only movie that I saw that I guarenteed myself I would never watch ever again in my life. I have a sister who is about the same age as these kids in the movie and it just blows my mind that these kids would actually do this kind of crap to these innocent girls. No matter how much critics hail it as a "indie masterpiece" (yes I've literally read that in a review of this trash) I'll forever consider Larry Clark as the most worthless indie director of all-time. His movie has nothing about it at all about it that teaches us anything, unlike most good indie flicks that at least have something about their characters that we can take away from or at least agree with on some level. I know the point of indie flicks is to be as different as possible, and there should never be a limit on that, but this movie has nothing about it that makes it good, absolutely nothing. It's a freaking joke.

I don't recall it, John, no. Has been seen Battle Royale though? It's a film from Japan where a bunch of teenagers are sent to an island to kill each other, basically lol. Anyone who enjoyed Kill Bill should go see it. Tarantino's inspiration for Go-Go in his movie came from Battle Royale.
Out of interest I just googled the film I was thinking of.
It is called "Audition" (or in Japan, "Odishon" ) and is certainly not for the squeamish. Apparently this film had the most audience walk-outs of all time during its premier - I am not surprised.

I have a friend from Canada I was just talking to on the phone and she told me about a movie she had seen from Japan where this 13 year old kid forces his sister to give him..... *wondering if the mods will allow this*.... o**l sex at gunpoint. Japanese cinema is REALLY getting crazy, lol.
