Good catch. i meant to include it but glaringly left it off the list. Thanks for the new recs too, all good and cued up. i'll keep an eye out for Santa Sangre and Ebola, maybe i'll get lucky.

Yeah, that movie hasn't seen a proper R1 release. I'm pretty sure even the Anchor Bay R2 release is out of print, too.

Visitor Q
Blue Velvet

These are two movies that I find absolutely brilliant and even at times achingly beautiful... But not something that I can really do repeat viewings of.

I Stand Alone
Irreversible
Requiem for a Dream
Strange Circus

Others that might approach this genre might include:

Calvaire
Clockwork Orange
Noriko's Dinner Table
Kairo
American History X
The Silence (Tystnaden)

i have yet to see Leaving Las Vegas, but i am guessing it may be a contender as well. Any examples that are glaringly absent??? Thanks.

Requiem, that's a good one. Not only that but after see those holes in their arms where they were shooting up it assured that I would never heroine ever ever in my life (not that I ever considered it as a good idea to begin with).

Watch Trainspotting it'll sell you on the whole "heroin" lifestyle...

How about Ginger Snaps? that ones pretty deep.

I'm not sure every movie I'd consider heavy would count as a horror movie. Taxi Driver or Edmond for example. On the subject of rough lifestyle -- Alix Lambert's The Mark Of Cain and Dark Days is pretty intense.
