Most vile films you wish you never saw but had to ?

[$loth]

I thought I had saw bad stuff with CH, but i'm not even going to try and get AU's films :eek: I like knowing there's some films that can still scare me, even if they do it in a sadistic manner :D

they aren't scary movies in the conventional sense. they are utterly disturbing and nauseating. i turned mordum off after 20 mins despite having significant dutch courage in me. there are two other films that are similar in impact from what i can tell and they are salo and the men behind the sun. if you're looking for a challenge try irreversible or high tension or ichi the killer

True, they disturb me a lot, but also they seem quite gratuitous. I've heard of irreversible, and I've got ITK uncut, ichi is a great film which doesn't seem to sicken me so much. Possibly because those type of scenes are only a small part, the rest is set around revenge, like the hook and oil scene.

a Clockwork Orange ... my friend made me watch it and it was very disturbing

It's an excellent film though. Very strange and disturbing but I just love it.



Although I hate 2001. It's just...crap

yeah, it's a little disturbing but it's definitely in the middle weight division of messed up movies. it doesn't hold a candle to AUM. clockwork orange should be in there with straw dogs or the exorcist in terms of shock. the people who top AUM should receive some sort of custodial punishment. finally, is the men behind the sun the chinese produced equivalent of schindlers list or am i way off?

Men Behind the Sun is about a POW camp where the Japanese performed "medical experiements" on Chinese prisoners.

yeah, i know. but, is it a decent movie in it's own right or is it just a vehicle for something else ie. propaganda, sensationalism ?

[ManchestrMorgue]

I don't think it is a "great" movie by any stretch.

the only movie i shut off because of it's vileness was men behind the sun, i could stomach all the shit eating in salo and the rape scene in last house but the cat versus the rats scene in MBTS disgusted me.
