steelRooster69What's the best fucked up movie you've ever seen?
Natural Born Killers. Though it really depends on threshold. Pulp Fiction is a better film imo, and some people would consider it “fucked up”. But I don’t really.
uhauljoePulp Fiction is one of my favorite movies of all time, I can rewatch it at any moment
Overall it’s not really fucked up, it’s not THAT crazy of a story, there are just some fucked up parts.
A russian War Film called “Come and See”
Three hours of watching a young boy being mentally wrecked by the atrocities of War.
Gruesom, fucked up but incredible Film
Just watched that a few weeks back. Took years to psyche myself up to watch it, due to it’s notoriety. It wasn’t as bad as I thought it was going to be, but it is NOT for the faint hearted. Truly a masterwork in acting and congratulations. The sound, in particular, was haunting and dissonant.
Basket Case (1982)
This movie is about twin brothers who try to find success in new york but one of the brothers is a murderous blob of flesh who lives in a basket.
Big PA short stay in Switzerland. It’s about an old lady who had a terminal illness and goes to Switzerland to end her life. It’s incredibly depressing, there is a scene where she tries to suffocate herself with a plastic bag that I couldn’t even watch
CeruleanRuinThis may be a basic film-bro™ answer, but Oldboy is a good baseline for “kinda fucked up” but also “really really good”. It’s even better on the second viewing, and I even recommend watching Spike Lee’s misguided remake, because it makes you seriously appreciate the artistry behind what Park Chan-Wook was doing.
animistSpeak No Evil (2022)
SevishOff the top of my head:
- Nocturnal Animals
- Mother!
- The Killing of a Sacred Deer
Yup, all 3 of those. Especially Mother!
Nocturnal Animals is an amazing movie but really difficult to digest.
Sacred Deer, as with most of Lanthemos’ films is really really odd.
🇰 🌀 🇱 🇦 🇳 🇦 🇰 🇮 🏆Grave of the Fireflies
I’m usually not a particularly emotional guy but damn that movie messed me up for a while.
It was originally screened with My Neighbor Totoro……
Btw I agree. It’s an absolutely devastatingly beautiful movie.
it was originally screened with My Neighbor Totoro…
Oh man. That’s entire theatre loads of traumatized children. 😵💫
It was the 80s. I’m sure they were all told it wasn’t bad and to go outside.
I’m pretty sure they put them together because that’s how you keep everyone from becoming suicidally depressed after watching Grave of the Fireflies D:
Iirc Totoro viewed first.
Well that’s a tactical error.
That is a heavy movie.
dixius99I’m gonna say: Requiem for a Dream
Bruh i watched that movie just because the soundtrack was everywhere and i wanted to know what is origin was. Well done but one of the most disturbing and sad movies ill never watch again.
Yes, I was thinking Requiem for a Dream or The Fine Art of Love
While I agree, it’s honestly not one of aronofsky’s most fucked up movies imo.
I don’t know all of his stuff, though Mother! was pretty stressful to watch.
Pi. That’s all I need to say.
After you mentioned it, I had to check out Pi. I really liked it! If you haven’t seen it, you should check out David Lynch’s Eraserhead. I find it sort of similar, and also pretty fucked up.
I liked it too, but it’s messed up. And as someone with migraines, I understand the drill. I really, really do.
You don’t like ass to ass?
ShortbusGreat movie, very well done… But it’s disturbing as fuck.
AndyHardcore Henry.
It’s an easy answer. It’s a very pulpy, violent, action film shot entirely in a real time first person vantage. It’s the kind of thing you worry that people will respect you less for having enjoyed, but it’s honestly an outstanding use of cinema and very fun.
Can’t wait to watch this, thanks for the info 🙏
Grave of the Fireflies if you want to be depressed.
Nightcrawler if you want to be creeped out.
𝓢𝓮𝓮𝓙𝓪𝔂𝓔𝓶𝓶Gyllenhaal’s performance was so disturbing.
HoagieBoyEvent Horizon
maegul (he/they)Yea there’s something to this movie, even though it’s kinda b-grade sci-fi horror. The idea and its presentation has something can get under your skin … including “that scene” (if you know you know).
I watched it as fairly young kid, at home alone, with most lights off (never being really bothered by horror), and no horror movie has troubled me more than that as I fell asleep thinking about if “that place” actually exists.
The movie has an interesting story about how so much was cut or couldn’t even be filmed and the editing ended up all over the place, the movie ist barely coherent at times. But the feeling I got just thinking about that place was captivating nonetheless, great movie. Captures the vastness and loneliness of space well imo
claycleBlue Velvet? Probably up there…
I lived in those apartments from 2005-2007. Had never heard of the movie until a neighbor friend said “hey check this out”…
Meow.tar.gzI think the best one had to be that remake of a Kurosawa horror film called The Grudge with Sarah Michelle Gellar. That was the only horror movie to ever actually give me a true scare.
The Grudge is definitely not a Kurosawa film lol
Ach! You’re correct. My memory failed me. I thought The Grudge was a remake of Ju-On and I forgot who directed Ju-On. I see that it is now a Netflix series. Might have to check it out. Ju-On
mo_ztt ✅“Requiem for a Dream.” It’s a great movie to watch once. I loved it, never have any interest in watching it again, and saw the book and thought, “Oh I liked that movie I’ll grab the book.” I started reading, and the first scene (as in the movie) is the junkie is at his mom’s place trying to steal her TV to sell to buy drugs, and she’s begging him not to because she wants him to get help, and he finds she’s chained the TV up so he can’t steal it as he’s done before, and he gets really mad at her because she’s chained the TV up so he can’t steal it.
I thought, “Oh, right,” and put the book down immediately. I have no interest in picking it up and reading the rest of it.
I can relate. Will never watch that great movie again.
I have never watched the full movie, but I think Eraserhead needs a mention.
ilovecheeseMartyrs (2008)!
Went iin totally blind. That was a journey I won’t forget soon!
Enter the Void. That movie stayed with me for months.
Anything by Gasper Noe fits this thread. I’ve seen enough of his work to never watch that fucker again.
Midsommar…fucked up but a nearly perfect horror flic
celebrionWhat do you mean, this is how we Swedes celebrate the summer solstice each year 🤔
Agreed lol. Finally had the heart to watch it last weekend (after having known it was by A24 films). Suffice it to say, it fucked me up at different parts of the film. Amazing juxtaposition between cult/psychological horror and colorful, vibrant scenery. Great film, but probably won’t watch it again.
Have heard a lot about Hereditary too, but not sure if I have enough courage to watch yet.
The Skin I Live in 2011 (Antonio Banderas)
The brief synopsis below gives nothing away about how this film is so messed up.
A brilliant plastic surgeon, haunted by past tragedies, creates a type of synthetic skin that withstands any kind of damage. His guinea pig: a mysterious and volatile woman who holds the key to his obsession.
Sorry to Bother You 2018
I defy anyone to guess where that movie is heading.
Man I watched “Sorry to bother you” with spoilers, but still was not able to guess those parts. Awesome film!
It’s also entertaining and fun. Highly recommend
ᴇᴍᴘᴇʀᴏʀ 帝A few picks:
- Braindead/Dead Alive
- Tokyo Gore Police
- Adam Chaplin
- Story of Ricky
- Body Melt
- Boxer’s Omen
- Martyrs (2008)
- Pick something at random from Takashi Miike: Visitor Q? Ichi the Killer?
Going to second Martyrs. That was F-ed up
quaff
PherenikeFor the best fucked up movie as in THE MOST fucked up, for me it’s Gummo.
The Road.
Tough book. Tough movie.
Romulus, My Father.
Made me skip a semester exam :P
