I aregee with u/Mummified Client500 is it @ or something else?

Irreversible is the most fucked movie I've ever seen. Gave me a panic attack way before I used to get them all the time or at all really.

Well made, not exploitative, good actors. But changed my world view for the worse and distorted my brain. 1 view was enough for a lifetime.

I was one way before watching it, now I'm another. Be wary.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 4 months ago

Plenty of "this is gross or terrifying or..." type answers. How about Sorry to Bother You because it's one of the most "what the fuck" turns in the later act. Seriously, I never, ever saw that coming.

It was Parasite for me. That movie made me feel like shit for days after watching it.

Schindler’s List. Nah huh not gonna see that movie again. It was more than 10 years ago I saw that one. That moment where the little girl comes up in color I cracked like a baby for half an hour. I still remember and think about that scene to this day.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 4 months ago

The grey zone was worse, I mean it was really good but it was so much worse than Schindler's list.

Not for me, but...

I arrived during the trailers, into a packed arthouse cinema, to see Happiness. Way before the credits 90% of the audience had walked.

SpoilerIt's an entertaining movie. BUT one of the characters, that they build up quite sympathetically as a bored psychologist and caring father turns out to be a pedophile praying on the school friends of his son.

Slither (2006) fucked me up the first time I watched it. Now I can watch it and laugh. Also, Pam from "The Office" is in it as the police dispatch/receptionist... so, I guess she just got type cast.

The Swiss Army Man

Yeah, but in a good way. Radcliffe is freaking brilliant!

[–] [email protected] 4 points 4 months ago (1 children)

Brazil. That's one fucked up movie.

Really? I've been saying it wrong for decades? Shit.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 4 months ago

The french movie Titane, the plot sounded so weird I had to watch it, and it was far crazier than I thought... Somehow not the worst I've seen but damn it made me feel uncomfortable as hell.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 4 months ago (2 children)

As far as I can tell no one has mentioned American History X yet. That is a powerful (but fucked up) movie.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 4 months ago

Saw it in the cinema and it's the only time I've come out of a movie to dead silence, everyone just walking out in silent shock

[–] [email protected] 4 points 4 months ago

Saw that in the cinema and went into real (medical) physical shock at the kerb-stomping scene. I'd never thought of or seen that before. Holy crap, it shook me for hours after as I warmed up again, etc.

Such a weird fucking movie. Still have no clue what it was about.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 4 months ago

Watching it while high is ill-advised, also. I think it's about a lobster, though!

[–] [email protected] 6 points 4 months ago (1 children)

I recommend you to watch one of the director's earlier movies, Dogtooth, that was the best movie he has made and I'm pretty sure anyone enjoying Lobster will like that one too.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 4 months ago

Thank you for the recommendation! I may check it out cause just as weird as I found Lobster, I still thought it was unique and the story was interesting. I can go for film makers putting themselves out there to show compelling stories that differ from most! Dogtooth, hmm. I'll have to see if I can track it down.

[–] [email protected] -3 points 4 months ago (1 children)

Depends, most movies bother me enough.

The Incredibles is the worst offender.

Isn’t that odd?

[–] [email protected] 4 points 4 months ago (1 children)

Why does it bother you? I like the movies.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 4 months ago (1 children)

Must be my sensitivity or something.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 4 months ago (1 children)

I'm not going to ask you to go into personal details, but I will attempt to understand by competly guessing.

You said most movies bother you and its something to do with sensitivity, so I'm guessing its a visual sensitivity that makes the constant flickering or movement on screen terrible for you???

If thats the case, I could see how The Incredibles 2003 CG, many bright and dark scene, unstable movment in pretty much evety scense from the fire, underwater, everything in the jungle, and the robots fights can be unsettling.

That or you're actually a villain. Most movies bother you because the villains loose. Incredibles was particually hard because the villan lost big time. Just a guess.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 4 months ago

More like emotional sensitivity.

I don’t like conflict.
