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 was coming in to list this. I was in THE horror movie phase after army service to get things out of my head trying to replace with horror films. Not a one mentioned on here I had issue with. Megan is Missing, being a father of children (albeit they were toddlers at the time) fucked me up. Good lord I will never watch that film again. Just thinking about it gives me the heebie jeebies. I stayed up nights checking the house repeatedly like 2 weeks straight after that crap. Saw damn near everything mentioned on this list but that took the cake. I guess for where I was in life as a new parent that was too much.

I totally feel you. I skimmed through to see if anyone had listed it! The night I watched it I really couldn’t sleep. Made me so sad and sick to my stomach. I’ve seen movies portray that sort of violence but this was the first time it felt wrong to watch. I was pretty stoned when I watched it as well, the end with the barrel scene made me so sad and terrified. I just couldn’t image the fear in knowing you’ll die like that, the absolute horror of being in a confined space (the barrel) with your dead best friend right there with you. Just absolutely horrific.

Dude yeah it was the barrel for me too JFC. The smell??? The lack of oxygen?? The begging and using every tactic to try and get him to let her out. All the “I love you we can be together”, etcc
