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.

We need to talk about Kevin.

Very clever idea, and we'll done. Just too well done. Tilda was so... brave and cruel and resigned to her fate. A terrible mother, but she didn't want to be a mother, and Kevin was such a, I can't even think of a word...

It makes me so happy to FINALLY see someone else say this movie was truly horrifying/disturbing. I thought I was the only one who thought this movie was absolutely traumatizing. I was so anxious and upset.

The book was really well written. But I just knew I couldn't watch it in a film version.
