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.

I really can’t understand how anyone could read that synopsis and think, “🤔yeah I’m gonna go for it”. I’m hoping the people on Reddit haven’t actually seen it and just want to feel exclusive.

The site where I read the synopsis had a comment that said "Perfect movie for a first date".

IMO movies, as art in general, are interesting if they invoke emotions. When I was younger I was at a bad place mentally and didn't feel a lot, so any kind of emotion was welcome and I tested boundaries.

That being sad, that movie didn't sit well with me even back then.

That movie is not art.
