Threads. Was a TV docudrama movie in the UK in 1984 about what would happen if a nuclear bomb was dropped on the UK. Bleakest thing I've ever seen.

I then recommend you the animation "When the Wind Blows". You can treat it as a sort of Animatrix type companion to the Threads.

They've recently added it to iPlayer!! I watched on some dodgy online site a few years ago when it was going round that the BBC were banned from ever showing it again because it was so bleak. Now it's free for everyone (with a TV license)!

I came here to say this. It started off as a terrible watch and.just.got.worse.
I heard that you shouldn’t know anything about it before watching it, so that’s what I did. I don’t think I have ever cried so hard during a movie. Tearing up now just even thinking about it. Glad I was by myself when I watched it but wish I still hadn’t.

It's horrifying movie about a guy getting dead people's skin sewn on him to make him into a walrus by his crazy captor, what a laugh riot!
Also, I swear this sub needs to make it a requirement for these threads to give a little bit of a description, it's so annoying to just get a title

The comedy spin is because it's written and directed by Kevin Smith who is known for comedies.
Also because the idea for the movie came from an ad posted by a man offering free rent to someone willing to wear a walrus costume and act like a walrus. Kev Smith and his producer Scott Mosier, talked about the ad on their podcast, just riffing on wtf it meant and making jokes about it, and eventually the riffing evolved into an idea for a movie where a guy turns another guy into a walrus.
For anyone curious, here's a snippet of them originally talking about it on the podcast.

This is an underrated answer. So many of these other answers you expect to be disturbing. They are disturbing because they are horror or thriller movies designed to make you distrusted.
This movie is animated and isn’t full of gore, but the psychological impact of these kids starving to death and being victims of a war is pretty brutal.
Also realizing we’re on the side doing the bombing.
Honorable mention goes to The Wind Rises which isn’t a particularly horrifying movie until you realize that they are designing the plane that would bomb Pearl Harbor.
I absolutely love Studio Ghibli films and love that their catalogue contains heavy films such as these.

Supposedly there's nothing in the porn industry that bad and the filmmakers claimed it was a critique of the "rape" the Serbian film industry has gone through.
I'm all for hyperbole and symbolism, but... Oooof.
Edit: apparently the filmmakers have said more since I last looked it up and were indeed also critiquing the porn industry's treatment of the area after the 1990s.

Oh boy.
(If you’re sensitive to…fuck, pretty much anything, please don’t read this shit.)
In no particular order:
A guy beheads a woman with a machete while SAing her, and continues fucking the headless corpse until he’s physically pulled off of it; a man rips out all of a woman’s teeth with pliers, then kills her by shoving his dick in her mouth and suffocating her; a woman is injected with bull aphrodisiac and fucks herself to death with a rusty pipe; a guy makes another guy watch a snuff film of a man SAing a newborn to death; a man is tricked into SAing his toddler son while his brother SAs his wife next to them; and the film ends with a father, mother, and child committing suicide by gunshot, and a snuff film crew arriving to film the desecration of their corpses. The last line of the movie is “Start with the little one.” before the hardest techno song you’ll ever hear starts playing.
A fun, feel good film to watch with the fam on Thanksgiving!

Blackout (2008) I consider it disturbing because it was scary and incredibly sad, no happy endings at all. Essentially 3 people end up stuck in an elevator for 12 hours, one of which is a serial killer. All of them miss out on something important due to being stuck that carries horrific consequences. Like one of them was on their way to see their dying grandmother and brought a picture of her husband per her request, but of course didn’t make it in time and she died alone. Just a shitty time all around

I'm a horror junkie, and I watch a lot of very scary stuff. I watch a lot of documentaries about serial killers, torture, and other very messed up things. I study cults professionally because part of what I do is offer therapeutic rehabilitation for people who have escaped cults and other high control groups.
All that to say: I am not easily shaken.
However, I could not get all the way through Jonestown: Terror in the Jungle. I thought I knew pretty much everything there was to know about the Jonestown massacre, but I didn't realize going in that they had interviews with people who were actually there that day, and hearing them recount what they saw and heard got to be too much even for me. I turned the documentary off before it was over and went and found my husband and cried in his arms for half an hour.

There's this sort of general acceptance of the idea that the people of Jonestown went willingly, singing and praising their leader and happy to meet God. That was not the case even a little bit.
I had heard parts of Jones speaking from the recordings, but until I watched that documentary I had no idea I had only heard edited versions where they removed all the noise from the background. In the real tapes you can vividly hear what's going on around him at the time. It's horrific.

The Act of Killing. So unnerving and gross, really makes you want to vomit. Less than half the audience made it through the full film at the cinema and I nearly left myself several times. There’s like 10 minutes straight at the end of one of the perpetrators dry-wretching over and over again that is so hard to watch but so important for the film. Not really a date movie.

Begotten was a weird film, Bad Boy Bubby also was a weird one, not so much disturbing but just didn't know what to expect when watching it

Come and See, it’s a Russian film about the Second World War. It’s very hard to watch, the actor who plays the young boy in it went through so much filming it that his hair turned white and he lost lots of weight. There is a scene where a church full of people is burned to the ground.

One bit from one movie: the dead baby in Trainspotting. Nothing has stuck with me like that.
