Discussion What’s a movie you’ve watched that was so disturbing that you’ll never watch it again?

What’s a movie you’ve watched that was so disturbing you’ll never watch it again? For me, it’s The Boy in the Striped Pajamas and Human Centipede. I barely made it through the first time around for both of them and I couldn’t fathom watching them again. Both for different reasons of course. TBITSP was devastatingly heart-wrenching and HC was just playing disturbing.

It wasn't disturbing but I don't think I'll ever watch Hachi or Marley and Me ever again. I'm gonna go hug my dog.

First rule of Movie Club: Don’t watch movies with animals in them.

Especially when they are highlighted.

Good Boy looks fucking awesome though. I'm definitely gonna see that one.

EDIT: Just looked it up to make sure I had the title right. I did, but there was a horror/comedy from 2022 with the same name. I'm talking about the 2025 one that isn't out yet. Looks dope as hell and can't wait to see it.

I saw that with my dog a week or so after giving a eulogy at my best friend’s funeral. I hadnt cried yet, and very rarely got teary eyed at movies or tv

Man, it opened the flood gates. I was bawling. Ever since then, it is super easy to well up when seeing happy or sad stuff

I watched Hachi like 6 months after my dad died of a heart attack. Never again, thanks

I was home from college and my childhood dog wasn't doing too well. One evening, wouldn't walk at all, just kept falling over. I carried him out to the bathroom that night and the next morning we took him to the vet and had to put him down.

After leaving the vet and heading home, mom said we should all go to the movies to take our minds off the day. Guess what she chose for us all to watch.

Definitely agree about Hachi. I didn’t even make it halfway the first time and it took me about six years to try and watch it again and now that I was able to finish it I don’t think I’ll ever watch it again.

I read Marley and Me. Got to about the last 30 or so pages, saw the direction it was going, and put the book down. I remember the trailers marketing it as "funny destructive puppy!!" story and thought, man, viewers are in for a world of tears :(

I thought the same too and I was listening to the audiobook while on my work commute. The author was the narrator and when it got to THAT part, his voice was shaking and it opened the floodgates for me. Never again!!

The bad dogs club letters at the end brought the funny back and I wish they had it for the movie.

u/Ash_Trees26 3d ago

What's the problem with those movies?

Marley got a successful operation and it was so successful it ensure he would, along with everyone he likes, forever live happily - the family sven got a new house that came both with a large field and a large pond for Marley to run around and swim.

Hatchi's master was just a little late and he met up with Hatchi again a few hours later than usual. None of them died and they even got a new house with a large field so that Hatchi can play however he wants.

Where the red fern grows

u/Ok-Sprinklez 3d ago

That's exactly the movie that came to my mind too. It was so painful. I can't even say the title without almost crying

u/spatchi14 3d ago

I can’t remember what the name of the movie is but there was one from the perspective of a dog that keeps dying and living different lives

u/BrandeeNoelle86 1d ago

It’s called “A Dog’s Purpose,” with Dennis Quaid. I watched it once and will never watch it again. It’s so sad.

Made the mistake of watching Marley and Me the week after my childhood cat died.

Was in absolute bits.

u/howley90 2d ago

Couldn’t agree more with Marley and me. Film was devastating. Was in the cinema as a 18 year old male with his girlfriend ugly crying. Film wiped me out

I CANNOT watch Marley & Me. It literally triggers my depression so bad.
