Disturbing Movies.

So what movies disturbed you folks?

For me the list (In no particular order) would be:
Creepshow
The Shining
The Cook, The Thief, His Wife and Her Lover
Inner Senses
Santa Sangre

And no, I haven't seen the Ring yet :-)

Working on the basis that repetition isn't wanted (but still mentioning that Oldboy is worth your time and money) and in no order:

Un Chien Andalou
L'Age D'or
Tetsuo
The Devils
Candyman
Prince of Darkness
Possession

I didn't actually find the Saw movies all that disturbing, viewing it as a couple of D&D scenarios with ACME props and stupid PCs might have had something to do with it.

The remake of The Amytiville Horror has an effective ending, pity about the rest of the film (same can be said about Friday the 13th. The Night Flier also has an effective ending but with a half-decent straight-to-video flick attached to it.

Event Horizon gave me creeps for the first half but its reliance on (tasteless) gore in subliminal cuts in the last few minutes turned me off it entirely (I now leave rooms if the film gets to that stage). I have similar issues with Wolf Creek.

The US remake of Ringu is worth checking out for the slight differences (although the superior-budget special effects ruin it), haven't got around to watching the US sequel though.

Must. Not. Suggest. This. As. A. Panel. For. This. Year's. Swancon.
Fandomedia on the other hand...

Hmm. Canyman was... Well, it was a horror movie. Not a great one, but a good one.

I'v only seen some of Tetsuo II, and no Tetsuo.

Haven't seen any of the others.

Ditto on Un Chien Andalou, especially the eye scene. {shudders}

The Cook, The Thief, His Wife and her Lover also made a strong impression on me.
