13 reasons why all 4 seasons are way more disturbing than any horror movie Considering how in the end, the rapist won and the rape victim ended up being the most unlikable character in the cast.

Insidious, or as my brother and I say ‘Haunted by Darth Maul’ And we mean that fully affectionately, that film might not be super scary but it’s fun when you’re with others!

Your cat loves you so much. Also I'm doing so good in trauma treatment that things I used to be triggered to high dissociation at don't stop me from enjoying the discussion. Thank you for being such a good source of exposure to subjects like that. You don't fear saying it- that's empowering as fuck and is so helpful for me while my brains literally reforming in therapy

'makes me jump so bad my body takes a screenshot' did me right in, excellent work

Well, I'm ridiculously excited as I have just started getting obsessed with horror movies. And I too have longer cardio sessions with the need to be blasted with entertainment!

Holy moly do I feel you. I have recently started running on a treadmill to preserve my knees but holy heck do I miss the stimulation of nearly getting hit by a bike or car.

Who else was distracted by the cute cat? I had to rewind a bunch of times cz I just appreciated the cat and didn't hear what mert had to say.

As much as I would love for you to explore the entire iceberg, I feel it is unfair to subject anyone to the lower depths as most of the stuff there is just misery.

ok but I laugh SO much at the part in Childs Play where the mom ruins Chucky's plans and he just starts cursing at her 🤣😂🤣😂 I could feel his frustration!

It's interesting to see this video in conjuction with your Edith Finch/Walking Sim video. There's definitely something there to be said about the cycle of tropes being subverted over and over again until you end up with pieces of media that age poorly because their subversion is not nearly as impactful as it was upon release. Either way, great video as always

Find someone who looks at you the way Kay Kay's cat looks at her.

You have no idea how excited I was to see this video AND you referencing the Wendigoon video. His tier list videos, especially that one, is great 'on in the background while doing something else' material.

There's a surprising amount of metaphor in the iconic 80s Slasher films that were overlooked at the time, and even now. A Nightmare on Elm Street is a bit more obvious: it's about puberty and sexuality. A monster who was murdered by parents who wanted to protect their children, only to come back in their teenage subconcious. There's a lot of Wes Craven's work tends to have political/religious meaning, with Elm Street mirroring the idea of the "Sins of the Father". Friday the 13th was about an mother who blames the inhibitions of the younger generation for the death of her son, despite her son having never drowned (something revealed at the end of the movie); It was a metaphor for the Reagan/Thatcher era, where anti-sex, anti-drugs and "think of the children" mentalities were used as excuses, while pushing legislature that directly impacted the social and economic viability of the next generation. Wielding the moral high-ground with all the subtlety of an axe to the face.

Love this video! I would highly recommend looking into the history behind The Conjuring and the real-life Warrens. It’s unbelievably bizarre. Depending on your point of view they’re either the paranormal Avengers or the two biggest satanic panic scam artists in history. Also the real Annabelle doll being a typically branded and mass produced Raggedy Anne doll, from an American children’s book series, really tickles me.

I love Wendigoon but I also HIGHLY recommend NyxFears's video on the same subject

When you explore tier 8 you have to have a follow up "evading the authorities" video

Something funny, my sister is named after the Annabelle doll kinda coincidentally. Basically dad was at work on the phone with mom at home, a trailer for the Annabelle movie came on and dad said 'Annabelle is a nice name'. The rest is history. 😊

Thank you for not trolling me by putting an earphone blasting jump scare after discussing then.

i love the cat chilling out in your arms. shes just happy to be here :)

The fact that these movies are on the "Disturbing movie" Iceberg is adorable

As a fan of disturbing movies, this is going to be an amazing series that I'll tune in within the hour of upload.

Great video! I also love your cat- the way he stares up at you as you talk 😂

So excited to watch the rest of the videos! I honestly worry about your mental state after watching some of the other"" movies"" lower in the iceberg Ps your cat lovingly looking at you was the highlight of the video for me

I love that this video is an hour+ long so I can use it very the exact same purpose as you were describing in your intro!

The Grudge actually traumatised me, which is hilarious now because its really not as scary as my brain made it. Haviing said that, even now i find the wide eyed expression on Kayako's face disturbing in a way i cant really articulate.

Thanks for watching these for me, because I am way too big of a chicken to watch any horror movie ever but I do get curious. Also the way that your cat just stares lovingly up at you while you talk is the most precious thing.

Dude I fucking love your channel I love that you give specific spoiler warnings ans that you do captions!! THANK YOU!! It IS appreciated!!😊

as a horror game and film lover it's so cool to see you doing this and ngl i've seen worse than tier 1' and "my favorite final girl is lori strode halloween demonstrates she's clever cause she carries books" truly the best subtle character detail

I don't remember if this movie is on the list, but I highly recommend a film called The Descent for all the newcomer horror-heads. Probably one of my favorite horror films from the 21st century and criminally under-rated! 👍 Also really wish the later tiers weren't so outright disgusting. It gives my favorite genre a bad name.

I appreciate the actual movie breakdowns, as well as adding personal rankings. Also the :3 guy on your shelf.

Its crazy how different the American version of the Ring is compared to the Japanese source material. In the Japanese version Samara is a victim of circumstance and as the viewer you feel empathy for her. She wasn't just relentlessly killing for no reason.

So glad you shared some of the most disturbing and unknown phenomenons in Cinema, including those from some of my favorite Horror films! :D I remember watching The Conjuring multiple times in the theater. It was the start of my fondness for The Conjuring universe. Same applies to Annabelle, more so its' sequels, including Annabelle Comes Home, the latter of which explored one of my favorite subplots, involving a young girl who felt guilty about what happened to her dad, something she blamed herself for. It was really touching, and the same can be said about the other horror films. Since you touched on Ju-On, or The Grudge, I HIGHLY recommend you watch other Japanese Horror films, such as Kwaidan an all-time classic Horror Anthology, Onibaba, Teke Teke 1 & 2, both of which you can watch on KZfaq, and Kuchisake-onna.

Your writing is so tight and your narration is among the best I've seen on KZfaq. There's not one gram of excess fat in your videos. Plus, you know UX stuff, which I find interesting. Thanks for the great work, and please keep them coming.

oh my goddddd your cat is so cute and so funny!! great video as always :)

the way you describe your work out experience-video consuming sounds mildly terrifying but ngl kind of ingenious

super interesting video!!!! I can't wait for tier 2!!!❤

You keep saying you’re not our dad. Sounds like something our dad would say.

Like your takes on films, especially the ring! The son character received so much criticism from many people, it’s refreshing to hear that you like him 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

For future reference if you're struggling to find more movies, Roku is totally legitimate - not sure if its available in the UK for you, but I have almost exclusively roku TVs that come with Roku and it's pretty nice

Ooh nice. I saw Nyx Fears cover this iceburg, very interested to see your opinion on some of these.

It's so strange that we've reached a point in our lives where we want to watch certain movies that we can't find on streaming services and we think "damn, if only there were a store I could go to and rent the movie for a few days to watch it"

Fun departure from the gaming content. Great video as always. Thanks!

I think The Ring was the first horror movie I saw, back when Netflix mailed you a dvd instead of streaming. The horse on the boat still sticks with me. Edit: I always assumed the reason you need to copy the tape and show it to someone else was to spread knowledge about the murder. Forcing people to tell your story after you're dead, as it were.

Watched half tonight and saving the rest of the video for tomorrow ❤ thank you

The thing about Rachel and the ending of the Ring was most effectively explained to me through the concept of Roko's Basilisk Roko's Basilisk is a thought experiment involving a super powerful future AI that retroactively punishes anyone trying to resist or even not help it along with it's agenda of self creation and following enslavement. Once you know of the Basilisk AI you have the choice to damn yourself or serve. Sammara and the rumors of the videotape are much the same in that humans by nature are incredibly curious individuals and will damn themselves and others to see an outcome. If someone mentions the Basilisk (or in this case the videotape) to you, you are more likely to cause it to come into existence and propagate. Rachel was spared to continue warning people of the video which inevitably attracts more people to the oddity of the video, thus spreading Sammara's will

What is it about exercising that draws people towards intentionally disturbing themselves further? During my pandemic workouts I watched HBO’s Chernobyl. An episode a day for each day’s workouts, for about 4 weeks until I was buff af and could recite each episode from memory. Then I took up baking and stopped being buff, but can still mostly recite HBO’s Chernobyl. Cool vid, as ever, though. I’ve watched the video too that features the Tiers of the iceberg, although I think there’s quite a few films not on there that should be, although they’re more so the ones that focus on the disturbing elements of fact and not fiction - Threads and Come and See in particular. Haven’t been able to get Threads out of mind since Ukraine started, and Come and See’s final hour lives rent free in my head.

Pamela Voorhees is a horror ICON and if it wasn't for annoyingly irritating license disputes, I bet Pamela would have had a lot more of an impact on the series of a whole. Like don't get me wrong, Jason is great. I even love Jason in SPACE lol I love wildly silly horror. But Pamela Voorhees is one of my favourite horror characters of all time. Absolute cold blooded sociopath.

Me and my brother have a list of 96 rules to followe if in a horror situation. This list gets bigger when dealing with specifics, like zombies or demons. Rule #19 Dont Have S3X in remote/tucked away places with anyone because youre both most liley gonna die. Rule #11 Do Not Trust Porcelin Dolls! This was a really fun video. I look forward to seeing Part-2 👍🏻

The pity about the Conjuring series is that the Warrens are just absolutely awful people in real life.

Hi! :) Respectfully, I don't think saying that Scream isn't horror is pretty fair. Horror doesnt need to be all disturbing or supernatural. Scream has a group of people being murdered one by one by a certain number of people. The definition of a slasher and thus horror. You see endless of horror content creators covering the Scream franchise cuz it's indeed horror! Also to another point you made about swapping esentially most of the Tier 1 movies with others. I would agree if this would be a disturbing horror movies iceberg but it is a general disturbing movie iceberg. So I pretty much understand the decision to include these movies! As for a genre-less perspective it would make sense to put the "soft/easy" horror movies in Tier 1 as for a person who has no connection with horror whatsoever might see them as a bit disturbing. Hope I got my points across understandably! Have a nice day :)

LOVE your suggested Tier One and totally agree with your assessment of older or classic horror. Great video! 👏🏻

And once again, KZfaq did not notify me, but oh well, let's see about this iceberg!

Fantastic as always! Will you do a video on Peep Show one day?

Yay! New Mert video!

Great video! Very keen for tier 2 &3. Also have to recommend @nyxfears videos on the same ice berg - she has a different style and has a really compassionate/nuanced take with the lower tiers which I think is really important as those tiers are not films as much as they are videos of cartel murders and other really messed up stuff.

My solution is to watch action visual media. So I have my exercise bike infront of a tv and watch anime like AoT, Psycho Pass, Jujutsu Kaisen, or some other live action flim/tv media that is fast paced/stimulating. Before that, I absolutely related to cardio similar to you, but now I really enjoy it, because I look forward to watching whatever shower I am currently on. Though funnily enough, I did my weight workout today while listening to this video on my phone. But I watched Season 2 Episode 6 of Jujutsu Kaisen while I did my warm-up cardio on my bike. The time flies by instead of dragging (thankfully).

I really enjoy watching horror movies with my boyfriend. We got into the genre together and ye, it is scary how you get used to the violence (on screen one, not the real one). I was teriffied by The Conjuring (first horror I watched to the end) but then every horror movie started to seem more and more bland. So I'm grateful for the (not) recommendations ❤

Welp I haven't watched anything from this channel in a while, was binging Attack on Titan and burning through my to watch films (that French Musical of Notre Dame de Paris was wonderful btw). In any case I had fun watching this on a chill evening, your jokes made me chuckle, lovely kitty you got as well.

wahoo just got home from work to see an hour long video from one of my new fave youtubers lets goooo

So the last tier or higher tiers will contain actual Snuff movies? Not that I'm particularly scared of them. I've heard stories about them/watched them before. In fact, all they do is reveal to me the hidden dark corners of reality.

Somehow I find none of these movies disturbing😂😂 I think one of the most disturbing movies ever is “Come and See”. If you haven’t seen it, I highly recommend because it’s the best war movie ever made.

Fantastic video as always Mert, love your takes on these!

I hope we see the other tiers soon. I'll probably start giving money after I shuffle a couple things around :)

Fantastic video, finished watching it all now!

"Made me jump so hard my body took a screenshot" that is fucking hilarious lmao

I remember being utterly entranced by The Conjuring but Annabelle has been retroactively ruined by the prequel to that prequel 😅 Oddly I enjoyed 'The devil made me do it' probably just because it wasn't related to the rest of the films as much. Less said about The Nun' the better - bad and yet boring. The double whammy

Bestie I love this vid and can't wait for more, but the purpose of the iceberg is for the contents to get more obscure as you go down, not the level of disturbingness hehe

I’m glad to see that wendigoon is now seeping into other content i watch. God bless that man

Okay, personally, I hate the conjuring series. I tried watching it and it was so boring and it dragged out far longer than my attention span. My friend and I watched it and began a wonderful hypothetical that Loraine and the mom were going to elope and take the kids leaving the men to deal with the demon or whatever 😂 It certainly made watching it far more amusing on our end. Im not a fan of jumpscare horror and ive been desensitized to it and that movie felt like it relied a bit too much on them. Im not really a fan of ghost films. Scream is my favorite film on this tier though, i could talk abt it for hours

Nice Video, great watch.

Love your deep dives, and yes, I AM commenting a whole year after this was uploaded. 😅 Sorry..! I’m curious, have you ever watched the original Ring (the Japanese one)? Maybe I’m biased, but the original one was steeped in a feeling of history and pervading eeriness that still scares me. It makes me think of Junji Ito! Even the name “Sadako” is scary in comparison to the adorable “Samara”. The unwitting people the desperate mother is planning on giving the copy to at the end are her child’s GRANDPARENTS if I remember correctly, way more horrifying than the American one. There’s also the very real gloominess of certain parts of Japan, the creepy little son who was scary vs. the American sad and overly competent one, the reality that you can indeed easily stumble upon terrifying wells in inexplicable places in the woods in Japan (maybe that was just me)…. If you haven’t, I recommend it! Could be interesting to see cultural differences at the very least! Thank you for your videos!

"Man he has a sexy voice, I can fix him" It really do be like that

Dang I actually liked this video once I actually saw it but the algorithm just decided your channel didn't exist on my dash even though I'm subscribed- I'd watch other tiers if you made that video though. Eventually.

I was convinced that the begininning was leading up to a NordicTrack sponsorship. My expectations were subverted. 😂

Yesss new content to binge thank u Mert

You can't do this to me, I have a license presentation to prepare for june. *insert jesse going "he can't keep getting away with this"*

Horror content, omg I'm so excited to watch!

Oh my god the cat

Sometimes I wonder, if I spent enough hours on the treadmill, would I step out to find that everybody I know aged 10 years, like when characters step through fairy circles in folklore?

Well this is certainly new. I love being able to find lost or obscure movies.

I watched the 2002 Grudge on KZfaq about a month or so ago, and it definitely had subtitles. How odd.

Wtf is this intro?! lol. I save your videos for when I’m at the gym. Crazy! Like for real, wild.

Wendigoon would be proud! I wonder what you’ll have to say once you’ve reached Salo

You know. I actually did not know that it was Jason’s mom that killed everyone in the original either 😅

Thanks for the content and spoiler warnings at the beginning.

okay so now I finish watching the video, in the japanese version of the ring it explain that when someone copies the video tape and passes it to next curse transfers with it, but once that person is dead the it goes back to whoever watched the video before, so the previously cursed person can survive as long as they keep copying the video and showing it to others, or at least that is what I understood.

Babe, new MertKayKay dropped!!

Well just call me Dora cause I love exploring and horror cinema 👀

Why was this not recommended to me, I'm subscribed to you. Ughhh

idk if i would call any of these disturbing... tier one for me would be things like "we need to talk about Kevin" or Clockwork orange.

Yea Starz Roku and Voodoo are all services predominantly widely known in the US. Roku is basically an alternative to cable sort of similar to Netflix, Stars is both a cable channel and subscription service for movies, and I think Voodoo is one of those streaming services that provides mostly horror movies.

Would you have really wanted to see Pam Voorhees X in Space? She stares through a shuttle window, taps on the glass, gives the astronauts some scary eyes and then Jason teleports behind them. Edit. Roku is a must for this kind of content if it's available in UK

A pretty good horror movie was the Wailing. I also personally liked The Void.

Recommend Maggie it a good zombie super sad tho

The issue with Sidney's mom wasn't necessarily that she was sexually active but that she was fairly openly cheating on her husband with multiple men. Thus, outside of the 'appropriate' way of having sex, especially in a small town. Part of the reason Sidney So viciously insists that Cotton Weary is guilty is that she needs it to be true because she needs her mother to remain the innocent victim. If Sidney starts doubting that Cotton killed her mother, that means that she must accept that her mother was sleeping with Cotton willingly. And since most people, myself included, see people who cheat on their spouses as fairly despicable or, at the very least, as the act itself is wrong, it would mean Sidney would have to accept that her mother might have been a bad person.

I'm glad I'm not the only one that hates running on a treadmill but enjoys running outside. It's just so boring

I had to pause at 24:35 to laugh at your beautiful kitty. What an absolute goon.

It still sucks you had to turn the clips into stills but the video is still really good, keep up the good work

New Mert vid we stay winning!!! 😍
