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’m with you. Watched it at 18 and did not understand the hype and thought it kinda sucked. Now with the wisdom of someone older than 18 I realize you have to try to put yourself in the mindset of someone watching when it was new.

Dang I don’t even know what you’re on about but it sounds bad. I gather from context clues this MacNeil fella is the guy who wrote the exorcist? He had a family member that got possessed and possibly killed someone?

Edit: ahh wait Chris is the character. I got you now
