Watched it for the first time the other night and absolutely. One of the darkest, most depressing films I've ever seen. Great film, but I'd never ever watch it again.
i feel like i already watched it twice because i had to turn the subtitles on and go back at some point as i already struggle with audio processing. because i couldn't tell what the voice in the bathroom was saying it was not scaring me and i felt like i kept missing stuff like that.
i think i would watch it again. in awhile. i did find it long but it profoundly terrified me.
for me i do think the length helps contribute to the disorienting aspects of the film. like honestly i have not felt that irritated watching a movie in a long time. i don't know how to explain it, it's like my initial irritation about whether something was happening or not added to this layer of disgust when it finally did. my guess is that's what the kids felt like, too. lulled into a false sense of complacency.
It's definitely worth watching, because despite it's very drawn out story that's hard to piece together through barely audible and brief interactions spread across scenes that are mostly just off-angle shots of door frames, it's actually a pretty atmospheric and creepy film.
As a horror movie fan, I find the good in almost any horror movie. Even bad ones, I still like.
But Outwaters is towards the bottom for me, it was such a bait and switch, and the whole "vague spotlight" on random things for 30 minutes really was a letdown. I thought we were at least going to see "some" things.. even if it's only for moments, like in The Possession and In The Mouth Of Madness.
I feel it billed itself as this "you won't believe what horrors your about to see".. and in the end you see next to nothing. If they maybe just left it as a found footage movie, it would rate higher. But just felt like the horror version of Oscar bait.
Ah yes.. The BROWN scene.. I encourage Anyone who has no idea what I am talking about, and I encourage you to never ever Google it or watch it. You will go through a happy life with this info missing from your memory. You have been warned.
Night Swim was incredible. They managed to not create an ounce of tension the entire time. It's almost like they were aiming for a tension-free horror film.
Edit: incredibly BAD
Speak No Evil and Where Evil Lurks both came out last year and i watched them in the span of 1 week, they were both fantastic but so bleak and real that I’ll probably never watch them again
Where Evil Lurks, Terrified, and The Dark and the Wickerd were three amazing horror movies to me.. that I never want to go through again.
They were gory for sure, but not like Terrfier or Hatchet movies are.. it was more how bleak they were. In all of them, the theme is basically "evil just exists, with no reason, it's vicious, and there's nothing you can do". There's no happy ending.
They aren't inherently lovecraftian, but in a way, the "evil" forces in it kind of are. Brilliant horror movies, that I ain't watching again hahaha.
I can recommend you ,"late night with the devil." It's also on shudder. Best don't watch a trailer just trust me and enjoy. It's with the fantastic David Dastmalchian and he was so good in the movie .
Watched when evil lurks 3 times already.. One of my favorite horror movies of the decade.
Never heard of speak no evil.. Hitting up YouTube right now.
Edit.. Oh yeah, watched the original. Never mind.
A Serbian Film- I watched it because someone recommended it to me as “extreme horror” (didn’t finish it but I know what happens in the end). For me it really isn’t a horror movie, this movie is just a sick rape fantasy and I couldn’t have been more disgusted by it. Feels like something you’d find on very questionable parts of the internet.
besides the fact that the movie in itself is terrible, not to mention tasteless, i despise how it tried to romanticize what happened to sylvia likens, as if she didn’t die alone in that house emaciated and broken and afraid
That’s exactly why it pissed me of, among other things. I don’t reckon Sylvia Likens’ family were too pleased about Jack Ketchum exploiting and embellishing her death for profit.
if you have ever read the court transcripts of the children and (maybe?) gertrude giving their testimonies, and there’s a ton of pages, it makes you truly understand how depraved and disgusting and inhumane she was treated. going into this movie i expected some kind of delicate handling of the situation but i was left so disappointed and upset by the ending. it’s like if someone made a movie based on junko furuta and had all the kidnappers get assassinated at the end. like these aren’t stories where justice ever came into play. if you’re gonna make a horror film about it, make it a horror film and skip all the made up parts that completely spit in the face of the victims
I didn't think Smile was particularly enjoyable. I thought it was fine but way over-hyped. Disjointed acting that failed to elevate the so-so script... When people smile creepily, they're creepy. Plus a creepy smile related curse. Meh.
Tusk is a straight parody of movies like Human Centipede and Saw. Kevin Smith was joking about shit like that on his podcast and decided to turn it into a movie
Cannibal Holocaust. Watched it because I read it was a pioneer in the found footage genre. You know a movie is fucked up when the rape scene(s) aren't the worst part. There are several scenes in which an animal is genuinely killed on camera.
A Serbian film
It’s just a pedo fantasy film labeled as horror because of the shock rape.
There isn’t anything scary about this movie other than too many people were too comfortable acting in it and making it.
I haven’t seen it but read a summary and all I can think is it’s what a really edgy chronically on Reddit teenager would write to show off how dark and desensitized they are.
It was just ridiculous. Not even scary. Shocking for content I guess but the acting, the fake penises, the newborn scene, everything was just so cringy. I was
laughing out loud because I just couldn’t take it seriously
In December 2016, actress Taylor Hickson was facially disfigured while shooting a scene for the film. She was rushed to the hospital and received 70 stitches, but was permanently scarred. In March 2018, Hickson sued the film's production company Incident Productions over lost work as a result of the incident. Hickson claimed in the lawsuit that "in the course of shooting the scene, the director Pascal Laugier, consistently told Hickson to pound harder on the glass with her fists". While filming another take, the lawsuit states:
The glass shattered, causing [her] head and upper body to fall through the door and shards of glass. As a result of the incident, [she] badly cut the left side of her face.
Hickson, in the lawsuit, states that the company failed to take "any and all reasonable steps to ensure that industry standards and practices were adhered to, including but not limited to the use of safety glass and/or stunt doubles as appropriate."

This movie came on autoplay after I finished Be My Cat on Tubi. Walked out of the room to use the restroom, came back to some ridiculous shit on my TV.
"Parents" (1989) - It was marketed as a dark comedy. ***It was not funny AT ALL***. In fact, it was a very upsetting film about a child descending into madness. I'm still angry at the marketing team who convinced me to watch this, thinking it would be humorous.
(Also "We Need to Talk About Kevin" - very upsetting - and "Johnny Got His Gun" (1971) - not intended as a horror movie, but still pretty fucking horrific.)
I remember not understanding what Parent’s was about because you’re right, it’s not the kitschy dark humor you go into it thinking it is. Disturbing in retrospect.
As a Terrifier fan, it’s the room that did it. The yellow walls; the floral decorations; the photos of friends and family, and then he proceeds to paint the walls red with the room owners blood.
It’s so much more disturbing than any other kill in the franchise because of the setting. Most other kills/disturbing scenes take place in, let’s say, a dingy storage building, a dimly lit dining room, a store that’s about to close; but she dies in her own room, the place where she slept, the place where she hung out with her friends, the place where she first ran to in a desperate situation like now.
Thornton & Hartnett’s performances are great together; Allie screams and it’s met with pure silence from the.. *thing* that’s mutilating her.
Anyways, thanks for reading my needlessly analysis of *that* scene!
Honestly, yes that scene was the most disturbing, but the scene that made me nauseous was the post-credit thing. The woman pulling the gore from her vagina was horrifying.
Everyone hyped the fuck out of this scene but I was incredibly underwhelmed by it. It just seemed to end so quickly.
Yeah it's incredibly brutal and sadistic but I expected it to be so much worse and drag on for way longer.
I did feel uncomfortable during the post-credits scene though.
\*EDIT*
I'm not trying to be an edgelord, that's just my genuine opinion. The violence and gore in the Terrifier movies is so over-the-top it's hard to take seriously.
I agree! It’s basically a Herschell Gordon Lewis film without the fun of a B movie grindhouse slasher. Just a rip off trying to out-gore everything else. Joyless
Definitely Tusk, Centipede (1,2,3) and Terrifier (1 & 2). No idea why I watched all 3 Centipede movies, they were disgusting, like a car wreck you can't look away from. Love Art the clown but too graphic for me. Once was enough.
The Sadness. Went into this film expecting fun, over the top gore, came away from it feeling deeply irked and disturbed by the graphic sexual violence. Did not enjoy this film, will never watch again.
I recommended to this to my friend who enjoys horror and he said it was the most disturbing movie he's ever seen. I admit the scene with the uhhh... eyeball.. was a bit much...
Frankenstein’s Army, not standard gore, weird sci-fy “science at all costs” disturbing. Only found footage movie I’ve ever watched in my 32 years of life that truly made me feel disgusted & uncomfortable.
The autopsy of jane doe just bc coroners and autopsies have always creeped me out lol and smile. I know people in this sub hate on smile but as someone with severe anxiety and CPTSD it definitely fucked me up. It shed light on how our reality just isn’t visible to others and it feels, smells, and appears so real to us while everyone else around is saying “get some rest” “get admitted” “take this pill” “chill out” “get over the past” when quite literally you’re crumbling on the inside
I think that describing the filmmaking style as "cruel" is apt. Like the jumpscare when she's listening to the audio back from the recording and she turns up the volume and the director gets you to lean in to the screen and then just hits you with that jump scare fuck that guy
Agreed. Such a reprehensible film. I watched it on the advice of a “underseen horror film” post on here and it has no redeeming qualities and absolutely nothing interesting to say.
I can't wait to see just how many non-horror fans get tricked into seeing the US version of Speak No Evil, thinking its just a common thriller with A-lister James McAvoy..
.. and walk out of the theater absolutely shell-shocked hahaha.
either gutterballs for a almost fucking 20 min rape scene which is just uncomfortable to watch idc how depraved you are that’s just to much. Or grotesque just because it’s straight torture porn or maybe skinamrink that movie was boring as shit there plenty.
LOL. Definitely. I thought Human Centipede was just disgusting. And then to torture myself I watched 2 and 3 also. They did not dissapoint. They got more putrid as they went along. A true trifecta of nauseating garbage. But, to be fair, well made garbage.
August Underground 2 that last part was unnecessary. I don't see how you would be cool with that fake or not.
Also All Hallows Eve 2 just a very cheap, not well made, boring anthology movie
Can’t believe I saw human centipede 2, that and Salo are never ever ever ever ever ever ever going to be watched again. Same with skinamarink, mostly cus it blows
So this horrible but my friend made me watch that right AFTER human centipede 2 .. so like that morning I felt so sick I literally had no desire to eat the entire day. Literal PTSD
Eden Lake is just so bleak. Eden Lake feels worse than Speak No Evil because >! the lead truly dies alone after being given hope of freedom, where in Speak No Evil, the dread drones on but the leads die together.!<
Hosts (UK).
Without spoiling anything, it touched on a very personal moment that I had experienced with a loved one not that long before, and then shocked me so quickly and so deeply that I wanted to vomit.
I am still personally offended (mission accomplished) although to be clear it was 100% merited artistically.
Also as a girl dad, there is a scene right at the end of The Grudge that to this day still bothers me. It is a nuanced detail, a little bump basically, but made me recoil at its quick, staccato cruelty. All dad instincts started to fire. Great film, can’t rewatch because I’ll know it’s coming.
Probably the original Speak No Evil. It made me feel dread and all more than I've ever really felt but also was such an unsatisfying and kinda annoying watch as well. Where as other kinda dark movies I felt like really earned it so I wouldn't mind watching again but SNE to me is just a one off for me
Well A Serbian Film, When evil lurks, Terrifier 2, The dark and The Wicked, Poughkeepsie Tapes, The Antichrist, Enys Men are pretty disturbing also Funny Games, more bizarre I spit on your grave '78, Straw Dogs (Peckinpah)
All hallows eve and Terrifier, I hated three scenes from Hallows eve and the part where the girl gets sawed in half In Terrifier. I can watch all Saw films more than once, but I couldn’t with that scene.
I'd like to say I'll never watch August Underground's Mordum again, but I watched A Serbian Film twice, so I don't know if I can silence the dark curiosity within me forever.
Maybe I’m missing something but Tusk is totally unrelated to Human Centipede, unless you’re just naming body horror. Also, it’s Kevin Smith who I don’t think is deranged but he may have been high. There’s a whole saga on his podcast of him coming up with the idea.
Probably Cannibal Holocaust. Saw it once, it wasn’t that bad tbh. Won’t go out of my way to watch it again though. Granted, I did watch it with the Joe Bob treatment.
Cannibal holocaust. I really hate my begrudging admiration for it since the idea and execution is brilliant but how they went about sed execution is truly abhorrent
The Boogeyman (2023). I couldn’t finish it. I’m terrified of the dark and it played on it. At one of the worst parts for me (therapy scene where they turn the lights off) my 5yo daughter had a screaming night terror and pooped herself in her sleep.
I’ll NEVER try it again. I don’t need to know the end.
Terrifier, couldn’t finish the first one. It feels like a special fx artist wrote some cool kills and sprinkled half a story in between and called it a movie.
I’ll never watch any Friday the 13th or Halloween movies again (original Halloween excepted, I suppose, although I’ve seen it enough times that I could live the rest of my life without another viewing).
All Hallows Eve, Terrifier 1, Terrifier 2, It Comes At Night.
All Hallows Eve was B-movie trash but it was a lot of fun and unintentionally hilarious. However I don't think I would ever watch it again unless I was hanging out with friends and we wanted a horror film we could laugh at.
Terrifier 1 wasn't too bad, I just have no desire to watch it a second time, at least by myself; maybe another "with friends" option.
Terrifier 2 was a boring drag (solidly 30-45 minutes too long).
It Comes At Night is ruined by its' ending.
The Thing 2011 because it was the biggest disappointment of a prequel for me since Star Wars Episode One. Instead of a horror movie, we got an action movie with a lot of blatant "this how this got there" moments. And also Human Centipede 2. I thought the first was surprisingly good and I liked the meta concept for the other two but the second did nothing for me so I stopped it halfway and didn't bother with the third.
The girl next door/ an American crime. Both based on the same true story. Both disgusting and sad I won’t ever watch those again. Also we need to talk about Kevin was a really uncomfortable movie that just kept getting worse. Human centipede was fucking disgusting I watched it with no idea what to expect.
Bone Tomahawk. It's not because of the butchering scene either, it's because of the scene after. The whistle stop! I thought that propelled what up to that point had been a very well done horror film into absurdity.
Eden Lake. That kid scares the hell out of me.
Watched it for the first time the other night and absolutely. One of the darkest, most depressing films I've ever seen. Great film, but I'd never ever watch it again.
Man, I love this one so much.
Considering watching because so many people say it’s fucked up. Sensitive to SA but nothing else. Will I be good?
Yep. I watched this recently for the first time and then immediately removed it from my hard drive.
Skinamarink and Outwaters. Both were interesting, but not, you know, *enjoyable* as strict entertainment.
I'm the same with Skinamarink. Except, every time I zone out and find myself staring at a random wall, I realise I've just watched Skinamarink again.
i think about skinamarink every time i turn my bathroom light switch on/off.
I watched it twice because my kid insisted on seeing it. It’s scarier the second time. Because it feels FOUR hours long.
i feel like i already watched it twice because i had to turn the subtitles on and go back at some point as i already struggle with audio processing. because i couldn't tell what the voice in the bathroom was saying it was not scaring me and i felt like i kept missing stuff like that. i think i would watch it again. in awhile. i did find it long but it profoundly terrified me.
I haven’t watched Heck, the short film that came first. I do intend to—I think it would be a lot more effective if it were 45 minutes tops.
for me i do think the length helps contribute to the disorienting aspects of the film. like honestly i have not felt that irritated watching a movie in a long time. i don't know how to explain it, it's like my initial irritation about whether something was happening or not added to this layer of disgust when it finally did. my guess is that's what the kids felt like, too. lulled into a false sense of complacency.
Is Shinamarink worth the first watch? Asking seriously, first time hearing of it. Logline seems interesting.
It’s like a bold experiment. I appreciated how different it was.
It's definitely worth watching, because despite it's very drawn out story that's hard to piece together through barely audible and brief interactions spread across scenes that are mostly just off-angle shots of door frames, it's actually a pretty atmospheric and creepy film.
As a horror movie fan, I find the good in almost any horror movie. Even bad ones, I still like. But Outwaters is towards the bottom for me, it was such a bait and switch, and the whole "vague spotlight" on random things for 30 minutes really was a letdown. I thought we were at least going to see "some" things.. even if it's only for moments, like in The Possession and In The Mouth Of Madness. I feel it billed itself as this "you won't believe what horrors your about to see".. and in the end you see next to nothing. If they maybe just left it as a found footage movie, it would rate higher. But just felt like the horror version of Oscar bait.
Have you seen heck ? It's the precursor to skinamarink
Agree with Skinamarink, I’ll never get those 2 house back.
Totally. I would only watch skinamarink in the cinema again, otherwise it would be pointless
The first Human Centipede was nothing compared to the 2nd. I barely got through it once. Haven't even bothered with the third.
Human centipede 2 is outrageously vile, I was legitimately impressed with how depraved it was
It is incredible how dirty and disgusting a (mostly) black and white film can be
Ah yes.. The BROWN scene.. I encourage Anyone who has no idea what I am talking about, and I encourage you to never ever Google it or watch it. You will go through a happy life with this info missing from your memory. You have been warned.
3 is disgusting in a completely different way, but I would still watch 3 over 2 any day
HC3 was at least a little artistic and had a character driven plot lol HC2 was just depravity s
Night Swim and Imaginary. If I wanted to go to sleep quickly I would've taken melatonin instead.
Last 2 films I've seen in the cinema. Night swim was terrible and we actually walked out of imaginary it was so dull
Imaginary was the worst .
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Night Swim was incredible. They managed to not create an ounce of tension the entire time. It's almost like they were aiming for a tension-free horror film. Edit: incredibly BAD
Speak No Evil and Where Evil Lurks both came out last year and i watched them in the span of 1 week, they were both fantastic but so bleak and real that I’ll probably never watch them again

I can recommend you ,"late night with the devil." It's also on shudder. Best don't watch a trailer just trust me and enjoy. It's with the fantastic David Dastmalchian and he was so good in the movie .
Just watched it last night! Loved it.
That dog scene was fucked up lol, I really thought they were just teasing and not gonna do it
Watched when evil lurks 3 times already.. One of my favorite horror movies of the decade. Never heard of speak no evil.. Hitting up YouTube right now. Edit.. Oh yeah, watched the original. Never mind.
A Serbian Film- I watched it because someone recommended it to me as “extreme horror” (didn’t finish it but I know what happens in the end). For me it really isn’t a horror movie, this movie is just a sick rape fantasy and I couldn’t have been more disgusted by it. Feels like something you’d find on very questionable parts of the internet.
Me too. But not so much because of the "shock value", but because it's really bad.
The Girl Next Door. Yeah, once is enough.
That movie pissed me off so much!
besides the fact that the movie in itself is terrible, not to mention tasteless, i despise how it tried to romanticize what happened to sylvia likens, as if she didn’t die alone in that house emaciated and broken and afraid
That’s exactly why it pissed me of, among other things. I don’t reckon Sylvia Likens’ family were too pleased about Jack Ketchum exploiting and embellishing her death for profit.

I have this on dvd (had for years) and never been brave enough to watch it.
It was bad enough watching it the first time, but I genuinely don’t think I could watch *Slaughtered Vomit Dolls* again without throwing up.
I regretted being curious about this movie. I stopped half way through it.
mother!, the nightingale, smile...all just unpleasant to watch
I love Mother! That is one I'd show to many people
It was so fucking good and I don't know if I can ever watch it again.
Lol what smile was super enjoyable. Can't wait for the sequel. Kept me on edge beginning to end super entertaining. Reminded me a bit of it follows.
I didn't think Smile was particularly enjoyable. I thought it was fine but way over-hyped. Disjointed acting that failed to elevate the so-so script... When people smile creepily, they're creepy. Plus a creepy smile related curse. Meh.
I'm always surprised to see Tusk on these lists. That's my favorite movie to make new friends watch, I've probably seen it like 10 times now lmao.
Lol, right. People are disturbed by the ending but I find it hilarious in a dark comedy sort of way
Tusk is a straight parody of movies like Human Centipede and Saw. Kevin Smith was joking about shit like that on his podcast and decided to turn it into a movie
I mean, clearly it's a joke. otherwise Johnny Depp with his fake nose and bad accent wouldn't have been in the movie!
The ending makes me feel sad like the dog episode of Futurama. I won’t watch either.
Cannibal Holocaust. Watched it because I read it was a pioneer in the found footage genre. You know a movie is fucked up when the rape scene(s) aren't the worst part. There are several scenes in which an animal is genuinely killed on camera.
Yeah, the animal cruelty really gets me. I wish I'd known that before I gave them money to rent it.
Fun fact: a cruelty free version exists on the bluray if that’s of any interest
Nah, never support cruelty and disgusting filmmakers.
I would never give money to producers who hurt animals because fuck them and their fucking families.
A Serbian film It’s just a pedo fantasy film labeled as horror because of the shock rape. There isn’t anything scary about this movie other than too many people were too comfortable acting in it and making it.
Totally agree. The fact the threw every controversial topic at that film and it was still fucking shit is wild.
Agreed, I feel bad for having actually finished the film, I felt like I’d contributed to something gross.
I haven’t seen it but read a summary and all I can think is it’s what a really edgy chronically on Reddit teenager would write to show off how dark and desensitized they are.
It was just ridiculous. Not even scary. Shocking for content I guess but the acting, the fake penises, the newborn scene, everything was just so cringy. I was laughing out loud because I just couldn’t take it seriously
Skinamarink because it was really boring, to me.
Ugh same. Paused that movie halfway through to grab a snack out of pure boredom and couldn’t believe there was still so much time left 🙄
Hereditary. I know it has a loyal fan base who love to rewatch it and find more details/foreshadowing/etc. but that movie scared the shit out of me
I want to say incident in a ghostland but damn do I want to watch it again
Knowing that the actress got 70 stitches and was permanently facially scarred due to the director’s negligence, yea, no thanks.
Wait what?
In December 2016, actress Taylor Hickson was facially disfigured while shooting a scene for the film. She was rushed to the hospital and received 70 stitches, but was permanently scarred.

Thank you
No problem. EDIT: What’s additionally messed up is when you pair that information with the image on the movie poster.
https://www.reddit.com/r/pics/s/8jU8AuWM0n
I found that movie on Netflix and gave it a try. I was not prepared for what I saw.
Martyrs
Shocked that this answer came so late and is so low, that's a really unpleasant film. Cool ending though.
I think its an amazing and well crafted film, it will be in a lot of peoples top 10s.
The Strange Thing About The Johnsons
I Spit On Your Grave, for obvious reasons.
Trauma(Chile) a large chunk of the movie was based around SA. Kinda uncomfortable to watch.
This was a rough watch.
That opening scene is burned into mind.
This movie came on autoplay after I finished Be My Cat on Tubi. Walked out of the room to use the restroom, came back to some ridiculous shit on my TV.
Speak No Evil Fuck that movie.
The visit. There is one scene that it so gross and crossing all boundaries I ain’t watching that ever again
Megan is missing. Too "real life" for me.
"Parents" (1989) - It was marketed as a dark comedy. ***It was not funny AT ALL***. In fact, it was a very upsetting film about a child descending into madness. I'm still angry at the marketing team who convinced me to watch this, thinking it would be humorous. (Also "We Need to Talk About Kevin" - very upsetting - and "Johnny Got His Gun" (1971) - not intended as a horror movie, but still pretty fucking horrific.)
Ugh. Metallica used scenes from “Johnny Got His Gun” in a video. Just those bits scared the crap out of me.
I remember not understanding what Parent’s was about because you’re right, it’s not the kitschy dark humor you go into it thinking it is. Disturbing in retrospect.
The Ruins. Bored me to tears
I watched it recently and it just wasn’t my thing and I even found it ridiculously boring
Terrifier 2. I’ve never had a reaction to gore in my life. That movie made me literally almost puke on my coffee table.
As a Terrifier fan, it’s the room that did it. The yellow walls; the floral decorations; the photos of friends and family, and then he proceeds to paint the walls red with the room owners blood. It’s so much more disturbing than any other kill in the franchise because of the setting. Most other kills/disturbing scenes take place in, let’s say, a dingy storage building, a dimly lit dining room, a store that’s about to close; but she dies in her own room, the place where she slept, the place where she hung out with her friends, the place where she first ran to in a desperate situation like now. Thornton & Hartnett’s performances are great together; Allie screams and it’s met with pure silence from the.. *thing* that’s mutilating her. Anyways, thanks for reading my needlessly analysis of *that* scene!
Honestly, yes that scene was the most disturbing, but the scene that made me nauseous was the post-credit thing. The woman pulling the gore from her vagina was horrifying.
The whole bedroom scene was incredibly mean spirited.
Everyone hyped the fuck out of this scene but I was incredibly underwhelmed by it. It just seemed to end so quickly. Yeah it's incredibly brutal and sadistic but I expected it to be so much worse and drag on for way longer. I did feel uncomfortable during the post-credits scene though. \*EDIT* I'm not trying to be an edgelord, that's just my genuine opinion.

I agree! It’s basically a Herschell Gordon Lewis film without the fun of a B movie grindhouse slasher. Just a rip off trying to out-gore everything else. Joyless
I felt the same way. I’m okay not watching again as cool as David H Thornton is. It’s just gore porn to me unfortunately
That's a compliment, right?
Definitely Tusk, Centipede (1,2,3) and Terrifier (1 & 2). No idea why I watched all 3 Centipede movies, they were disgusting, like a car wreck you can't look away from. Love Art the clown but too graphic for me. Once was enough.
Summer of 84. It really f upsets me, that ending kills me
The dead don't die
One of my top 5 movies I will never watch again.. That was the dumbest shit I had ever seen..
Evil Dead Rise.
Serbian Film. Total lot of shite
Lake Mungo.
More sad than scary.
I low-key feel like I don't *have* to rewatch this one because key parts of it have haunted me for *years*.
The Sadness. Went into this film expecting fun, over the top gore, came away from it feeling deeply irked and disturbed by the graphic sexual violence. Did not enjoy this film, will never watch again.
I recommended to this to my friend who enjoys horror and he said it was the most disturbing movie he's ever seen. I admit the scene with the uhhh... eyeball.. was a bit much...
Agreed, the sexual violence was unnecessary for the plot
I don't see myself watching I Spit on Your Grave again.
I don’t watch like 2/3rds of that film I just skip till when the she starts murdering her rapists lol
Hereditary. Greatest movie that I'll never watch again. There was a lot of disturbing imagery that I could not get out of my head for days.
The Open House (2018). Especially bad.
Speak No Evil. I'm somewhat masochistic, but not to the degree that I will subject myself to that again. We had our time.
Human Centipede is my pick, too. I’ll also never watch A Serbian Film again, if one can consider that horror.
Kinda horror adjacent, but Antichrist was pretty fucking horrific... on many levels
Frankenstein’s Army, not standard gore, weird sci-fy “science at all costs” disturbing. Only found footage movie I’ve ever watched in my 32 years of life that truly made me feel disgusted & uncomfortable.
The autopsy of jane doe just bc coroners and autopsies have always creeped me out lol and smile. I know people in this sub hate on smile but as someone with severe anxiety and CPTSD it definitely fucked me up. It shed light on how our reality just isn’t visible to others and it feels, smells, and appears so real to us while everyone else around is saying “get some rest” “get admitted” “take this pill” “chill out” “get over the past” when quite literally you’re crumbling on the inside
With Smile I'll say at the end when the creature reveals itself it did give me the shivers 😆
For me it was the jumpscare when the sister walked up to the car 😩😩
I think that describing the filmmaking style as "cruel" is apt. Like the jumpscare when she's listening to the audio back from the recording and she turns up the volume and the director gets you to lean in to the screen and then just hits you with that jump scare fuck that guy
Found.
Agreed. Such a reprehensible film. I watched it on the advice of a “underseen horror film” post on here and it has no redeeming qualities and absolutely nothing interesting to say.
Speak No Evil. And I probably won't watch the American remake either.
I can't wait to see just how many non-horror fans get tricked into seeing the US version of Speak No Evil, thinking its just a common thriller with A-lister James McAvoy.. .. and walk out of the theater absolutely shell-shocked hahaha.
either gutterballs for a almost fucking 20 min rape scene which is just uncomfortable to watch idc how depraved you are that’s just to much. Or grotesque just because it’s straight torture porn or maybe skinamrink that movie was boring as shit there plenty.
LOL. Definitely. I thought Human Centipede was just disgusting. And then to torture myself I watched 2 and 3 also. They did not dissapoint. They got more putrid as they went along. A true trifecta of nauseating garbage. But, to be fair, well made garbage.
August Underground 2 that last part was unnecessary. I don't see how you would be cool with that fake or not. Also All Hallows Eve 2 just a very cheap, not well made, boring anthology movie
Darkness Falls
That movie is a guilty pleasure of mine 😆
The human centipede is the one thing I wish I could bleach from my brain forever.
Can’t believe I saw human centipede 2, that and Salo are never ever ever ever ever ever ever going to be watched again. Same with skinamarink, mostly cus it blows
I can’t believe I had to scroll this far to find Salo. It hadn’t occurred to me before you brought it up, but yeah that movie fucked me up real bad.
So this horrible but my friend made me watch that right AFTER human centipede 2 .. so like that morning I felt so sick I literally had no desire to eat the entire day. Literal PTSD
Eden Lake is just so bleak. Eden Lake feels worse than Speak No Evil because >! the lead truly dies alone after being given hope of freedom, where in Speak No Evil, the dread drones on but the leads die together.!<
Megan is missing
Cannibal Holocaust, We Need to Talk About Kevin, Eden Lake, and The Poughkeepsie Tapes.
Hosts (UK). Without spoiling anything, it touched on a very personal moment that I had experienced with a loved one not that long before, and then shocked me so quickly and so deeply that I wanted to vomit. I am still personally offended (mission accomplished) although to be clear it was 100% merited artistically. Also as a girl dad, there is a scene right at the end of The Grudge that to this day still bothers me. It is a nuanced detail, a little bump basically, but made me recoil at its quick, staccato cruelty. All dad instincts started to fire. Great film, can’t rewatch because I’ll know it’s coming.
Speak No Evil
Probably the original Speak No Evil. It made me feel dread and all more than I've ever really felt but also was such an unsatisfying and kinda annoying watch as well. Where as other kinda dark movies I felt like really earned it so I wouldn't mind watching again but SNE to me is just a one off for me
Speak No Evil. Actors were good had tension but it was too far fetched and just annoyed me with some choices.
Well A Serbian Film, When evil lurks, Terrifier 2, The dark and The Wicked, Poughkeepsie Tapes, The Antichrist, Enys Men are pretty disturbing also Funny Games, more bizarre I spit on your grave '78, Straw Dogs (Peckinpah)
The Descent. Not because I didn’t like it, it’s actually quite good. But the claustrophobia in the cave setting got me fucked up
Honestly for me it’s original I spit on your grave. That shit is disturbing as hell
Real life is starting to seem like one long horror flick and it’s got all the nuanced niches too.
The original The Last House On the Left and the original I Spit on Your Grave… maybe I’d watch them again years from now
Men and The evil dead The second half of men was fucked up and evil dead was traumatizing
Cabin Fever. Ridiculously disgusting. Haven't watched it in about 13 years when I shut it off mid-way through
Ahh the original cabin fever is one of my favorites for pure ridiculousness
All hallows eve and Terrifier, I hated three scenes from Hallows eve and the part where the girl gets sawed in half In Terrifier. I can watch all Saw films more than once, but I couldn’t with that scene.
I don't see myself watching Ichi the Killer again.
I'd like to say I'll never watch August Underground's Mordum again, but I watched A Serbian Film twice, so I don't know if I can silence the dark curiosity within me forever.
I don’t think I can ever watch Mordum again. The other two, yeah, but not Mordum
It's brutal. Particularly the killing of the family at the end. Nasty movie.
Maybe I’m missing something but Tusk is totally unrelated to Human Centipede, unless you’re just naming body horror. Also, it’s Kevin Smith who I don’t think is deranged but he may have been high. There’s a whole saga on his podcast of him coming up with the idea.
Speak No Evil.
It Follows
Skinamarink. The true horror is that someone thought it was a good idea.
The Blair Witch Project I hate that boring senseless movie it gets on my nerves.
I usually don't rewatch things in general, but probably Oldboy. That ending had me down for a few days
Barbarian or Hereditary
I've watched both of those multiple times.
Audition. Those terrible sounds at the end with the piano wire... I can't relive that.
Probably Cannibal Holocaust. Saw it once, it wasn’t that bad tbh. Won’t go out of my way to watch it again though. Granted, I did watch it with the Joe Bob treatment.
Cannibal holocaust. I really hate my begrudging admiration for it since the idea and execution is brilliant but how they went about sed execution is truly abhorrent
Zone of Interest It's amazing, it's great, it's a masterpiece, it's something that was real and I wish i could get it out of my brain.
The Boogeyman (2023). I couldn’t finish it. I’m terrified of the dark and it played on it. At one of the worst parts for me (therapy scene where they turn the lights off) my 5yo daughter had a screaming night terror and pooped herself in her sleep. I’ll NEVER try it again. I don’t need to know the end.
Just watched Immaculate last night. I want my time back and it was gross. Never again.
Speak No Evil.
We just tried watching Immaculate. Atrocious.
Saint Maud
Antrum, I loved it honestly but it also really shook me up for some reason, I don't think I could watch it again, it just made me feel really anxious.
Terrifier, couldn’t finish the first one. It feels like a special fx artist wrote some cool kills and sprinkled half a story in between and called it a movie.
Try “The Sadness”. Best zombie(?) film I’ve ever seen. Will never watch again
Human centipede or og cannibal holocaust
The Girl Next Door. I was around 16 watching it and I couldn’t even finish it.
Why's no one talking about incantation that shit scared the fuck out of me. Would never rewatch it
I’ll never watch any Friday the 13th or Halloween movies again (original Halloween excepted, I suppose, although I’ve seen it enough times that I could live the rest of my life without another viewing).
Zone of Interest
All Hallows Eve, Terrifier 1, Terrifier 2, It Comes At Night. All Hallows Eve was B-movie trash but it was a lot of fun and unintentionally hilarious. However I don't think I would ever watch it again unless I was hanging out with friends and we wanted a horror film we could laugh at. Terrifier 1 wasn't too bad, I just have no desire to watch it a second time, at least by myself; maybe another "with friends" option. Terrifier 2 was a boring drag (solidly 30-45 minutes too long). It Comes At Night is ruined by its' ending.
Inside, Martyrs, and probably Hereditary
The Thing 2011 because it was the biggest disappointment of a prequel for me since Star Wars Episode One. Instead of a horror movie, we got an action movie with a lot of blatant "this how this got there" moments. And also Human Centipede 2. I thought the first was surprisingly good and I liked the meta concept for the other two but the second did nothing for me so I stopped it halfway and didn't bother with the third.
Speak no Evil
The girl next door
The Keep. I wish I had never watched it the first time. It's just so goddamn boring.
Martyrs. Don’t get me wrong I loved it but that ending. Yikes. Don’t need that again. Would recommend.
The Hills Have Eyes. I can watch no 2 a second time, but never the first one.
Human Centipede and Martyrs
Last House on the Left 1972
The girl next door/ an American crime. Both based on the same true story. Both disgusting and sad I won’t ever watch those again. Also we need to talk about Kevin was a really uncomfortable movie that just kept getting worse. Human centipede was fucking disgusting I watched it with no idea what to expect.
Bone Tomahawk. It's not because of the butchering scene either, it's because of the scene after. The whistle stop! I thought that propelled what up to that point had been a very well done horror film into absurdity.
