Most Disturbing Film You've Ever Seen

Shutter...both the original Thai film and even the recent US remake. That image of the
girl's ghost sitting on the guy's shoulders for all of eternity
is upsetting and disquieting to me every time I think of it!
 
Johnny got his gun

It's the film that was used for the video of the song 'One' by Metallica. It really disturbs me. The concept is quite scary. A guy injured at war, left without eyes ears or a mouth. He just lies in a hospital bed wearing a creepy white mask covering his face. His existence is eternal pain, unable to die. It gets me when he repeatedly says kill me in his mind.

I love horror, I love gore, I like disturbing things. But I just can't stand torture.

Actually, it was also a book by Dalton Trumbo, who was a Hollywood Screenwriter too, way way back in the "golden age" (though shouldn't it be called "black and white age"?)... he was like one of the top ten screenwriters at the time, or something. The book is amazing, written in the first perspective. The last few pages will literally make you freeze up in horror. Such an incredible read- I think he got blacklisted as well and it was a banned title... But an amazing read!
 
The one that did it for me was a Soviet film called Come and see. I only saw this film once. We caught it at the Ogden Theater in Denver Co. I walked out of the film with the feeling that the world had gone horribly wrong and could not possibly ever be put right again.

I was aware that it was a book. I've never read it. I may have to some time.
 
A Clockwork Orange or The Devil's Rejects...

Rob Zombie's got a talent for disturbing pictures, I was tempted to say House of a Thousand Corpses, but the character Captain Spaulding in TDR is what makes it for me.

one of the best propaganda films of all time.
 
Here are my three:

Happiness - So disturbing that when I met Dylan Baker at the Phoenix Film Festival, all I could think about was his child-molester character in that film.

Gummo - So disturbing that I took a shower and brushed my teeth immediately after watching it.

Man Bites Dog - Disturbing, but in a funny way. Saw it when I was around 14, probably responsible for my disturbing sense of humor.
