Disturbing films that have stressed you out?

[OOOSH YEAH]

Scum that greenhouse rape scene frightend me off greenhouses for life

Did you not become a Gardner?

Technically isn’t a film. It was part of ‘a play today’

There was a play part of the same ones which Tim Roth was in. Played a skinhead. Was it Made in England?

 

[The Hesford Diet]

Threads, about nuclear war breaking out, focusing on a bomb dropped above Sheffield. Watching that when the US and USSR seemed intent on obliterating Europe didn't do much to ease anyone's fears at the time.

There’s loads I suppose. Older I get the more they stress me out and for some reason recently during lockdown I’ve tended to go for films of a more uplifting nature but nevertheless this is about stressful films or disturbing films you’ve seen..

Audtion, Japanese film. Loved it but end was awful
Eden Lake, the fire scene I hated. Good film
Come & See. Whole thing just made me feel dreadful. Too much given it is real.
Irreversable. Both the rape scene and the fire extinguisher scene made me feel wrong. Good film though.

Must be loads more.

Seen all them. Come and See is Grim af! Eden Lake is painfully real. Audition - eugh that body in the bag. The Japanese have some kind of f***ing imaginations!

 

[OOOSH YEAH]

Made In Britain.

That was it. Pretty sure Tarantino cast him for RD off The strength of that.

It was particularly disturbing because it was set in Britain. Likewise, When The Wind Blows, both the Raymond Briggs book and the film version.

Patch Adams - the nadir of Robin WIlliams' mostly excellent film career. He plays a doctor who cures patients with laughter (making them laugh, he doesn't go up to them and laugh in their faces).
Ereaserhead - the baby in particular but just weird even by Lynch's normal standards.

Ah Eraserhead is so so disturbing. That f***ing radiator! Proper nightmare stuff.

 

[ErichZann]

Can't remember the name of it but it's a British film, recent, about some nawty London people of erm.....colour, who invade a home and hold the family hostage. It's a great film.

 

[Napoleon Dynamite]

First Freddie film (was only a kid)

Brimstone and treacle

Possibly a combo of that and Mike Leigh's Meantime. Also, The Hit, which got him a BAFTA for Best Newcomer. His career seemed to go on hold from the early to mid 8os until 92 and Reservoir Dogs.

 

[Mantobar]

Blue Velvet for me

 

[tunstall birdman]

'The King and I'. The part where the king died. I bawled my eyes out as a kid when I watched that bit.

 

[Snappy]

Saving Private Ryan. I was 10 and I nabbed the VHS from my grandad. Got to the beach landing and turned it off. Had sleepless nights after that. My own fault of course.

 

[Blue_Monday]

Lion King is horrific when Scar kills Mufasa and Simba keeps asking him to "get up".

 

[Space Hopper]

Bambi

The scene when his mam dies.

 

[Carpets]

First Freddie film (was only a kid)

Brimstone and treacle

Freddie got fingered? Truely disturbing!

 

[OOOSH YEAH]

Blue Velvet for me

Owt specific? Thought it was pretty straightforward that.

Tend to avoid them. Often come recommendedby suspect characters

Survival of the fittest. His ma was a silly wee slag in any case.

Schindlers List. you must have seen that?
