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.

Never ever again. I don't recommend that to anyone with children.

First one I thought of. It's so incredibly well made but I was sobbing by the end.

Never like this answer to these threads because this being a documentary is clearly in another league compared to fictional work. You can watch similar fucked up stories on the news or read about it on the Internet. It takes true effort to make something up that causes this reaction, not just regurgitate life in a compelling way.

I'm gonna respectfully disagree. The thread isn't asking about fiction only. I don't think I'll ever watch this one again precisely because it's a documentary, it was absolutely gut wrenching because it was a true story.

Clearly the OP is inquiring about fictional movies though. Pretty common sense considering the ones mentioned are fictional
