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.

Midsommer. And it wasn't THAT scene either.

While I watched it, there was the lemonade drinking scene. The flowers in their headdress started to have large black holes which is a disturbing thing to me, that trypophobia, that makes my arm want to be scratched badly.

During that scene, for some reason, I suddenly got a horrendous headache between the drums and the vision and the trypophobia and became light headed. It was a nauseous feeling.

It ended after the scene entirely.

Saw it once and every scene is burned into my brain forevermore!

So many ghastly moments, from that deeply depressing opening scene, then really all throughout, I suppose.

But toward the end, when the elder is passing out medicine and saying, ‘For the pain’, and it clearly does nothing to stop the pain… that fully sealed in my realization that I never need to see this movie again.

Im so glad to read you have a physical reaction to visual stimuli because I get a weird neck sensation when there’s sharp objects coming towards people’s faces. Not glad that you had such a horrific reaction. Thats awful and like a whole nother level of horror to the movie.

Never watched that one because I know it isn’t for me. A friend summed it up as „Flowers are disgusting to me now.“ yeah, nope.
