    I actually have nieces that have attended various "Jesus Camps" in their youth. According to what I've heard them and their parents say, the documentary is quite accurate. Also, I don't agree that Jesus Camp had a distinct bias. To me it seemed more like a 'Hey, look at this' documentary rather than one that is screaming "This is wrong!!".

    I just saw it on cable this past week.

    SO. BORING.

    Not a single scare in the whole film. I think it says something about current audiences that simply filming something essentially dull through a crappy camera like they might have makes it "scary".

    "Verisimilitude" is no substitute for something interesting.

    Really? Seems like an exceptionally black comedy to me.

    to be fair, i dont find the film disturbing, what i do find is extreme empathy for the naive cop and revulsion at the sheer joy the crowd take in the final scenes, superstition outweighing any degree of compassion, thats what i find scary as its a very widespread phenomenon.

    Event Horizon is definately up there. The crews log, every bit of that was f*cked up! I mean, I still haven't a clue what half of them are doing, but I can take a guess. I think just about everyone went to that movie thinking it was a sci-fi and how wrong they were!

    I watched Hostel once, that was definately disturbing...never watching it again, that or the sequels. I definately lost my tolerance for "torture porn" movies. It just isn't fun anymore. I find myself cringing more.

    The Saw movies, I find less interest in them as they come out. I just hope that number VII is it, like they say. I just wanna know how it all ends!

    The new TCM(Texas Chainsaw Massacre) movies are pretty disturbing in my view. I like the old ones for sure, but the new ones...they went over the top with that.

    I liked Event Horizon. Last night I tried to watch Ghost Ship and I found the begining really disturbing and gross. The people were on some big ass cruise ship dancing at some ball. Some how, this cable snapped and went flying through the crowd ripping every one in half. This 9 year old girl was dancing with the captain and the captains head was sliced clean from the mouth up.
    It was a very disturbing scene and I couldn't watch the rest of the movie.

    It's a damn good film. It's like you want the cop to get off the island and bring support in to sort it out, but it never happens. A really nice, bleak ending.

    There are movies that I saw as a kid that I shouldn’t have that disturbed me.
    However, I’ll focus on recent films as an adult.

    When I watched Hostel I realized that there was a line that I had just crossed.
    I am okay with violence and gore when there are zombies, monsters, or some kind of deranged killers somewhere, but Hostel had no plot other than people torturing other people.
    It then had to show some kids killing people for a bag of candy to show how much class it had, too.

    REC is a movie that disturbed me that I liked, however.
    It’s sort of just another zombie movie, but at the end of it I was wondering what sound I was hearing and then I realized it was my heartbeat.
    Most of you probably know the movie by its English language equivalent: Quarantine.

    This Anitchrist movie everyone is talking about –does it have Willem Dafoe?
    I’ve seen it available on the Netflix but I haven’t watched it yet.

    I remember seeing Event Horizon at the theaters.
    There was this couple two rows in front of us with a five year old kid.
    When they finally ‘decoded’ the crew’s message the kid was screaming and trying to run out of the theater.
    The mom got up and the bastard dad tried to get them to stay.

    You’re ahead of the game on that one.
    I watched that opening scene and I was like ‘Oh My GOD!’
    It set a tone that the movie never captured.
    The rest of the movie was clichéd horror movie gunk with characters who were oblivious to the supernatural events occurring right in front of them.

    Yeah. Everytime I watch it, it gets better. I have it and the prequel 'Ichi' on DVD. That one is not good at all.

    Since the topic asks for "disturbing" and not "scary", then I can give my two cents. Although it isn't a movie, it certainly is a video. Tay Zonday's original Chocolate Rain video. It is the most unsettling, disgusting, disturbing, and creepy thing I've ever seen in my life. Even watching it without sound still gives me the creeps. I know this post is humorous, but I'm being totally serious. Tay Zonday gives me the creeps. Watching that oily lizard-faced zombie stare at the right side of my monitor unblinking while he belches his horrible song makes 2 Girls 1 Cup look like a children's show.

    I'm probably going to get an infraction even though this is meant to be a wholly legitimate post.

    I haven't seen that prequel or the other called Ichi the Killer: Episode Zero. Which is an anime. Was it just overall a bad movie or where there at least some interesting stuff in it?


    :lol  I thought it was a pretty good movie. Definitely takes time before getting to the real disturbing stuff, but I really enjoyed the film to be honest. I dunno if that makes me fucked up or not, hahaha.



    Oh, and another good film is Rampage by Uwe Boll. Pretty crazy stuff.

    i refuse to watch torture porn such as Saw, Hostel, etc. With the older slasher flicks, the violence was swift and brutal, the disturbing part was the chase that only delayed the inevitable.
    I don't mind terror, suspense or graphic violence in proper context.

    the concept that Uwe Boll made a good movie disturbs me greatly, lol.

    i dont know the name of it, it was on lifetime or oxygen or some channel like that, but it was about a teenage girl and her younger sister whose parents died and they are given to their aunt. sounds nice till later in the movie the aunt goes total bit** cause she is jealous of the teen, has her sons tie her up in the basement, and basically rape and torture her. she dies at the end, and it is based on a true story, but it isnt something i would expect to see on a basic channel like that. it wasnt bloody graphic, but it showed, and implied alot about what these teen age boys where doing to her, including bringing their girlfriends to come and watch, threatening to do it to them, and the pleasure the aunt got in watching.

    and i had to ask my fiance at the time why she wanted to watch this, she only answered she thought it was a good movie?!

    Martyrs got me pretty good when I first saw it. Then I had the bright idea to watch it drunk. Shouldn't a done that, had me effed up for a long time.

    I didn't really think Salo was all that disturbing, just vulgar.

    You just watched the intro. Later on in the movie you get to see that part again AND the rest of the people on the ship being killed off. While the rest of the people didn't suffer a gruesome fate like the dancers did, the woman in the red dress certainly had a nasty death. The grossest part in that movie was the 2 guys eating a tin of maggots.

    I think what made Paranormal Activity scary for a few people is that they came in thinking it was actually real footage. Seriously.

    Most other people, however, were either bored by it (like me) or wanted to be scared and let themselves be absorbed into the atmosphere of the movie. Well, as far as my family goes.
