Hooray for more lists of f**ked up films. 😊 I recently watched 'The Vanishing', 'Chained', 'The Killing of a Sacred Deer'. 'Compliance' and 'Irreversible' based on your recommendations and loved them (Maybe "loved" isn't the right word to use). What f**ked up movies that will scar me for life will I discover today? Can't wait! 😀

I suppose this comes from a time when the genre was invented/labeled due to slasher films or films with lots of murder and violence as the viewership back then wasn't used to this and was indeed horrified by what was shown on film. Nowadays we're used to this kind of content but are prone to psychological horror so yeah i think it's about time to redefine that genre

Mary and Max is one of my favourite ever films but feels rough to include it on this list. As much as it is brutally sad, it's one of the most beautiful and life-affirming films I've seen. Met the director once while I was working as a cashier at a supermarket and he was an absolute sweetheart.

Come and See has some of the most beautiful close-ups I've seen in film. Mass was good. I wish they didn't talk around it some much. I think that would have made the last I have a story more impactful. Melancholia moved a little slow, and I was a little confused at first, but I believe that was guided intent, which made the ending one that, well, I was speechless. Amazing work. True art&cinema. I have seen Girl, Interrupted and Trainspotting. I did enjoy both very much. I will watch a number of your choices.

Room is tame compared to the absolute tragic horror of the Fritzl Case it was based on. The Orphanage was devasting in that the mother returned to her past and stayed there. Alpha Dog took it to the point of no return. Never Let Me Go is so sad. Sleeping Beauty isn’t disturbing because our protagonist chose so she can get paid, and it’s just unfortunate that in the end, she had to live with what happened to her while she was on the job. Melancholia is family trauma to the end. Threads is bleak and disturbing and a companion piece to The Day After.

The original Omen film was pretty depressing. I felt especially bad for the long-suffering mother having no clue what her child truly was, why she was having a mental breakdown/self-doubt, and not knowing about her husband’s ‘baby switcheroo’ at the hospital. Also, rewatching that classic knowing the 2006 remake exists... LOl that’s depressing for a whole bunch of different reasons. That being said, I’d love if Ari Aster (or Mike Flanagan) did a reimagining of The Omen the way Bruckner took on the mantle re Hellraiser.

Melancholia broke me. I'd like to add one that you didn't have on here. It's another war one, but MAN is it disturbing and depressing. The Painted Bird. I can never unsee that one.

2 films that made me cry were midsommar and hostel because my friend tricked me into watching them when I was 10 and I said we should watch a horror movie so we don’t talk anymore

I’ll add 2003’s House Of Sand And Fog to the board. That film absolutely wrecked me, and I can’t watch it again.

I mentioned Come and See in the last disturbing movies video and I'm so glad she acknowledged it now!

Wow I remember watching Christine F. years ago. I was actually thinking of it the other day but couldn’t recall the name. Such a devastating movie, and a David Bowie cameo surprisingly…
