10 Movies So Disturbing You Will Regret Watching Them

There’s good cinema, there’s bad cinema and then, there is ‘disturbing’ cinema. Call it a daring or something downrightly insane but disturbing movies do exist. And they are so twisted that watching them can cause an emotional crisis, leaving you loathing at your own self. Here we have ranked the ‘top 10 disturbing movies ever made’ in ascending order.

10. Antichrist

Movies So Disturbing You Will Regret Watching Them

A Danish experimental film, Antichrist blends sodomy and sadness in such a way that it sticks in your sub-conscious. After the death of their only son, a couple seeks solace in a cabin and then starts a cringeworthy and sadistic story of violent sexual behaviour and sadomasochism. The movie is smothered with loathsome sexual scenes.

9. Grotesque (2009)

A couple who just found love decides to go out on their first date and soon wake up shackled in a basement. Soon they realize that they have been kidnapped by a sadistic madman with an extreme fetish for disembowelment. The grisly mayhem that follows the rather non-violent beginning of the film will make your skin crawl, and in all possibility, you will be inclined to stop watching. But the compelling acting, realism of the direction and ‘what happens in the end’ will keep you hooked.

8. In My Skin (2002)

Gore movies usually pit deranged people against innocent people to give the movie an extreme sadist tone. But this movie will surpass your expectations of gore. A woman after accidentally injuring herself by a metal piece become obsessed with her wound and starts feeding on it day in day out. Her extreme psychosis of self-mutilation is just unsettlingly gross and will surely fill you with disgust. The climax in itself is a gore bomb that will make you cringe in overwrought anticipation.

7. Dead Girl

This movie stands tall as an example of how grisly the human mind can get and derive pleasure from the acts of mutilation and disembowelment. Two infamous teenagers skip school and break into an abandoned asylum and stumble upon a mute, naked woman in the basement, chained to a table. After they discover that the girl is still conscious, they start wreaking hell on her. From brutal gang rape scenes, to demented acts of pain infliction and a lot of blood, this movie proves to be downrightly ill-favoured.

6. The Human Centipede

Upon screening, ‘The Human Centipede’ was described as the “most horrific movie ever made” and was majorly loathed at by the audiences. And indeed, the movie is extremely disturbing. A deranged German surgeon kidnaps three tourists, removes their teeth, rips out their knee caps, and to our utter disgust, attaches the three ‘mouth to anus’ to fulfill his grisly fantasy of making a human centipede. The movie was either banned from release or was released on restricted basis in a lot of countries.

5. Aftermath

The film starts with an ongoing autopsy that soon turns into a disturbingly indecent display of depraved necrophilia fetishes with the dead body. The movie might be just 30-minutes long but we are sure you wouldn’t be able to forget it for the next 30 days.

4. Necromantik

The way Necrophilia (intercourse with a dead body) has been portrayed in this movie sets the bar for a film being disgustingly inhuman. It’s so hard to watch this movie that the best we can tell you about it is this much – a road cleaner brings a rotting corpse home for himself and his demented girlfriend to have sex with and soon discovers that his girl is now sexually obsessed with the dead body. What follows will make you skip your meals for at least a day or two!

3. Salò, or the 120 Days of Sodom

Relentless sadism, sexual depravity, and horrific murder, are the words that perfectly describe the kind of movie Salo is. Four wealthy fascists kidnap and imprison 18 teenage girls and boys, and subject them to sickening horrors for 120 days. Salo has been banned in several countries because many suspect that the actors subjected to torture were below 18 years of age. Australia banned the movie for almost two decades, and its uncut version came out in Britain only in 2010. Dozens of other controversies also blanket Salo’s making and screening. Surprisingly, Martin Scorsese and Alec Baldwin, among other scholars, signed a legal brief arguing the film's artistic merit.

2. A Serbian Film

This film is something so unexplainably horrifying that it will make you question the sanity of its director. The story follows a retired and financially struggling porn actor who signs up for something that’s supposed to be an art film. But to his horror, he is heavily drugged and forced to film a snuff movie which involves grotesque rapes and extreme child sex abuse. The scenes have been so realistically filmed that it all looks insanely real. There are certain scenes you will never be able to forget! Thanks to this, the movie is banned in Spain, Finland, Portugal, France, Germany, Australia, New Zealand, Malaysia, Singapore, and Norway. It’s simply a regret to watch this movie!

1. Begotten

While some might debate that the Serbian film is the most disturbing movies of all time, we tend to differ – it is Begotten. This is one film that will creep up in your dreams and will give you countless uncomfortable nights. Yes, that’s what you get when you see ‘God’ ripping (god suicide scene) himself apart piece by piece on screen, till nomads rape and kill him. The scenes will invade your sub-conscious and make you feel sick. It’s not only the sickening scenes but the dreaded idea of God disemboweling himself that makes this film so inhuman. Surprisingly, there is not even a single dialogue in the movie but the background score is so horrifying that it simply makes the dialogues irrelevant.
