Men Behind the Sun. For many people this would just be a graphic, over the top war/gore movie. But when you realize that what happened in that movie is what was actually going on in real life, it's insanely brutal. I read a book about Unit 731. Very scary stuff. Far more brutal in my opinion than anything the Germans did. Simply because the Germans were experimenting on humans since they had these people that they were going to kill anyways. So it's only "logical" from the Germans' perspective to use them before they're killed. The Japanese on the other hand were experimenting on people simply for the sake of experimenting. It wasn't about genocide, it was about experimentation on human subjects just because they wanted to do so.
Salo. Very brutal movie. I found the actual scenes of torture and degradation to be pretty intense, but not the most disturbing aspect of the movie. What I found to unnerve me the most was the simple basis of the whole movie: absolute power corrupts absolutely.
I Spit on Your Grave. The whole movie is basically one drawn out rape scene. It's probably the most uncomfortable I've felt watching any movie to date.
