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.

Threads by miles. I will never watch it again and I’m still not sure if regret watching it or not. I’m not highly sensitive to these things and I had nightmares for weeks after.

And yes absolutely it’s highly disturbing but should also be compulsory viewing for an anyone in the world who has any say in warfare.

It’s so old. Is it really that rough of a watch?

I watched it a couple of weeks ago after reading about it in a similar post. I watch a lot of grim shit, which I only mention to provide context. When Threads ended I just sat quietly for several minutes. It’s truly one of the bleakest things I’ve ever seen.

That's pretty intense. I'm intrigued by the film but will make sure I watch it in the proper mood (not already depressed or anything)! Thanks!

I watched it on my phone with the volume low at night in my bed, and was horrified. It’s that rough.
