What films gave you a major jolt?

[xX_StarChild_Xx]

I would suggest Harmony Korine (not entirely sure how to spell it) "Gummo" and "Julian, Donkey Boy". Also, Combat Shock, There Will Be Blood and Salo or The 120 Days of Sodom. That and Cannibal Holocaust are two of the most excruciating film viewing experiences ever.

Yes, it did actually unnerve me, I like it a lot. I love movies about voodoo and The Skeleton Key had a creepy vibe to it. It's just my opinion, I'm sure you like a few movies I wouldn't care for.

It has more sexually explicit and violence material than I have ever seen in any horror movie. In my opinion, It makes movies like Saw, The Human Centipede (which, by the way, I have not and probably never will see), and Hostel look like "kid's movies". I thought the Grudge was okay, but a little overrated and it did not scare me hardly at all. As far as being scared I would re-post the following films that I posted on another thread (I am not entirely sure what you mean by jolted)
Paranormal Activity (especially one and three)
The Devil Inside
The Blair Witch Project
The Haunting (1963)- did not terrify me, but it did sort of creep me out
Signs (creeps me out)
The Changeling (1980, not necessarily scary, but certainly creepy)

are_you_sad actually said jolt, I'm assuming he means movies that catch you off guard and really unnerve you to the point that you feel emotionally exhausted after a movie. The first Paranormal Activity was decent, I love The Haunting and it certainly can give you the creeps, I love Signs but not because it unnerves me, parts of it cracks me up.

In that case, I think you gave a pretty good list.

Not really a jolt but The Changeling is one of only a handful of movies that actually freaked me out.

Yeah, it's one of the better haunted house flicks.
