fuuuuuck no @ the last one

kids scarred me for life. my friend in uni was a huge rosario dawson fan and she said she saw every movie rosario had ever made so i started talking about kids. she never heard of it so she was determined to rent it. i told her it scarred me for life and she said well you watched it when you were 12, we're in our 20s now. fast forward to the next day when she was like i'm not talking to you, that movie fucking scarred me

I watched when I was 11 or 12 and I was completely horrified. Mostly because of what happens to Chloe Sevigny's character.

same!!!! she only had sex the one time! omg and then the ending when that creep raped her? her whole storyline was tragic and i was like i'm never having sex lol. so scarred. i think that should be required watching for all middle school/teen kids.

Same. It was so fucking depressing and awful. I'm not sure what bothered me more, the rape or the kids beating that random guy to death.

This movie freaks me out even more now that I have a niece and nephew growing up in Manhattan.

lol i saw it as a kid and it reinforced my idea that i wanted to be BAD and cool hahahahah wtf @ me (guess who became a drug addict??? ding ding ding)

I watched it in my mid twenties and i felt so uncomfortable for days afterwards

I read the premise, was horrified. Then finally watched it forgetting it was the same movie, and yup... scarred. Literally every turn of events in that movie is awful.

Meh, violence and sex aren't very shocking, imo. They're a cliche that unimaginative "artists" use for ~shock value.

Right? Violence, rape...bad things, but not shocking.

idk i think that stuff is still pretty shocking..

Yeah these just seem unpleasant.

What the fuck at that last one 😱🙈

It's based on a Marquis de Sade book and he wrote some fucked up stuff.

Like, for instance, *everything* that he wrote.

kimoto Expand

I Spit on Your Grave and Kids fucked me up. I don't think I'll ever watch them again.

Ugh, Salo. I've read some De Sade and it's simultaneously intensely disturbing and hilariously badly written.

Most disturbing film I've seen? Fucking Martyrs.

OMG YES

Martyrs. One of the worst things I ever watched. Fuck that film. I spent the whole film cringing on my couch, but I suffered through it to see the girl escape, because she had to escape...right???

Turns out, I know nothing. D:

No Irreversible or A Serbian Film on this list?

Kids was pretty jarring to me when I watched it.

I mean, I don't disagree with your sentiment and point but I don't think Irreversible was bad. A Serbian Film, obviously it was an utter piece of shit (a ton of people in this post brought it up on here.) There are movies like Gummo that should have been on here, imo and there are a ton of movies on that list that I would consider garbage.

so OT but I just broke up with my boyfriend and I'm depressed as shit. I'm the one that did the deed but didn't think I'd be this upset afterwards ughhhh

Why did you end it?

Aw, don't be sad! Do you want to laugh a little? This video is amazing for that, imo

And this one!

as an indian person i don't really know how i feel about that second video lol...

personally, these are my favorite yt pick-me-ups

Get you a Lush bath bomb, some dark liquor, and listen to the new Lady Gaga album, bb.

these always crack me up:

Hope this brings a smile to your face

I feel you. Even though you end it you still feel the pain almost as if you got dumped You gotta mourn it and be good to yourself!

I'm not at home and can't check the sources, but is Blame It on Rio on here cause that movie is a pervert's dream tbh.

I never heard of that movie until I listened to the We Hate Movies episode and HOLLY SHIT.

If you go on Rotten Tomatoes one of the reviews says the movie was written to appeal to dirty old men of all ages.

human centipede.

and the imdb explanation kills me: "Taking inspiration from The Human Centipede films, the warden of a notorious and troubled prison looks to create a 500-person human centipede as a solution to his problems."

as a solution to his WHAT PROBLEMS ?

Michael sort of fucked me up as well, it's the story of a pedophile and the entire movie normalizes it so much, it was really disturbing to watch.

w t f @ the last movie.

klfjdslamv;ewa i HATED that film.

That's one of those movies that I just never want to see (along with I Spit on Your Grave and 120 Days of Sodom, and probably some others that are at the source). Just...no thank you. I'll watch some bad stuff but there are some things that I just don't need in my head.

that stupid serbian film

I have not seen any of these and I'm okay with that.

The last one reminds me of Serbian Film. The filmmakers can dress it up in whatever rhetoric they want but the truth is that they enjoy creating and consuming stories about abusing other people.

Oh God I remember watching the Brows Held High review of A Serbian Film and I can't fucking even with it.

i didn't know wtf you were talking about so i googled it and "It tells the story of a financially struggling porn star who agrees to participate in an "art film", only to discover that he has been drafted into a snuff film with child rape and necrophiliac themes." what the fuck

Apparently some of the blindfolded people he abuses and kills are his wife and children. It's not a story that has any value.

I remember renting Kids and thinking it was some fun teenage movie but boy was [at the time] 15 year old wrong lol.

most disturbing movie i've ever seen would probably be bbc threads
it's about nuclear war and the hopeless aftermath

There was a thread just recently about this movie..ugh..there are like fake BBC emergency broadcast system alerts on YouTube and they are the scariest things ever.

Threads fucked me up for weeks after I saw it.
