old Superman episode (the B&W kind with George Reeves) where these little guys came out of a really deep oil well shaft. Scared the living crap outta me. I thought scary looking little people lived under the ground. LOL...

That one scared me when I was a little kid.

Event Horizon is definitely underrated. (Mentioned earlier in the thread.)

In a similar idea, I found Solaris to be highly disturbing: I hate it when a flick messes with my reality.

Overall though, portions of Apocalypse Now leave me quite unsettled...

8mm isn't about snuff films. It's about a good family man, played by Nicolas Cage, lowering himself into the muck and cutting himself off from his family, in order to investigate a possible murder. I have always hated slasher flicks, especially because cutting up pretty girls is very hard for me to watch. But 8mm actually had a point. And I like Nic Cage.

I thought that he was corrupting his conscience to save someone else, and that was interesting to me. But maybe there were things going on that I didn't see.

well a lot of you are smarter then I am, however it appears as if I have a more refined taste in movies cool

(must be my refined nu yawk upbringing)

Henry portrait of a serial killer manages to be very disturbing without
any real gore (by movie standards) also River's Edge with Dennis Hopper and Crispin something
is a great disturbing movie...you need to see this one!
To Die For Nicole Kidman is pretty good.
Out of the Blue Dennis Hopper, Raymond Burr

River's Edge is a great movie.

As a child a film called the Adventures of Young Sherlock Holmes (or summat similar) frightened the life out of me. Stained glass windows coming to life and girls being mummified alive in hot wax was bad enough, but him falling into an open grave and skeletons erupting out of the sides just gave me nightmares.

Saw The Ring a couple of years ago and that just freaked me out. Had to watch two hours of Scrubs and Family Guy in order to get to sleep.

Out Of The Blue.

Dennis hopper was persona non grata and he ruffled a lot of
hollywood fur with his saying this is how the "easy rider" generation turned out.

This is a really disturbing film, not scary and neither is rivers edge, but really disturbing.
You will need a bath and a good cup of coffee afterwards.

Apocalypse Now, but only the bison scene disturbed me. I can handle human slaughter, but leave the animals alone. Same thing with those crappy Faces of Death flicks.
I liked River's Edge, but then later befriended a girl who went to school with the real-life killer. She, like so many others, heard about it but thought the guy was joking. She swore she didn't go to the river.
Crash bothered me. Weirdo people.
The first movie to shock me was Caligula. shocked

I was in a Roman mood, got it along with Gladiator without knowing the details. Same with Baise Moi, peddled as the French Thelma & Louise. Yeah, right.
I like House of 1000 Corpses and Devils Rejects for their utter lack of any socially redeeming values.
I'd have to say Suspect Zero is currently the most disturbing movie for me thanks to Ben Kingsley's character. Got some serious mixed feelings about that boy.

Heart of darkness
is a movie about making apocalypse now, that slaughter scene???
Lets just say "no animals hurt in this film" truly doesn't apply!

I tried telling my friends that scene was real when used to see that movie all the time
on 8th street in NY for the midnight movies...they wouldn't believe...I could tell...
The horror, the horror.

I think the bridge scene in Apocalypse was pretty eerie.

I watched it with a real live VN vet one time and he was calling BS throughout. He said no way would Duvall's character be strutting around the beach with artillery shells going off all around him. laugh

Ah.... Gummo is a darned disturbing movie, btw.

The opening sequence of Boogeyman really freaked me out...the rest of it was pretty predictable though.

ok 8mm was disturbining but not so much that ididn't watch it.
made me angery and sad more than anything.

the part where the street thug in "Ghost" dies and is drug below
gave me chills, probably because of my church background.

What was that movie where Rosie O'Donnell dresses up like a dominatrix?

I have to agree: River's Edge is a good flick.

Unfortunately, WAY to many people equate "oh my god, that makes me want to puke" with "wow, THAT was scary!". Silence of the Lambs was a good thriller: Hannible was mostly nothing but gore...

Another REALLY good flick: From Hell. It's about Jack the Ripper, and (for the most part) tells the story without the constant gore-fest...

AGreed on Hannibal. I thought it was a poor sequel (prequel?) to Silence

If you guys are freaked by some of the movies you've listed, never see:

Old Boy

Ichi the Killer

That was Exit to Eden, and (gasp) she uses a gun!

I was brought up in the cold war days and these seemed very possible.

Failsafe

The Bedford Incident

For me?

I know this one hasn't been mentioned yet, but the original SAW really got to me. I guess it was just the thought that this is one scenario that could theoretically happen. Funny thing is that it seems to be in the same pattern of Se7en and that one didn't really bother me at all.

8mm didn't bother me much, mainly because the existence of a true snuff film has never been proven.

The original Amityville Horror scared the poop out of me when I watched. 'Course I was probably all of 7 or 8 when I watched it too. The new one was one of the few good remakes.

Animal House, because I saw Donald Sutherland wearing nothing but a white t-shirt. Still recovering from that one.

Fistful? Who's that? cheesy

The BOOK about the Amityville horror scared me more than the movie. I was comforted ny the fact that spirits cannot cross water and I KNEW there was at LEAST a couple rivers between me and that house. grin
