this is an easy one...

anything catagorized as a horror film...nope no can do, I can read crime books, and I can read books that can get gruesome, but I can not watch horror films...

I can not think of any off the top of my head, but any horror flick will give me nightmares.

Mooch


myLot reputation of 95/100. acmepride (759)   ranked 214 out of 11,457 in watching movies  3 years ago

I'm really glad that you find this to be an easy one, oneandonemakesix.

Some horror films are obviously quite disturbing and I perfectly understand why you Exhibit a sense of revulsion towards such kinds of movies.

If ever you could think of a particular horror film, which truly disturbed you the most, though, could you kindly share it to us?

Thanks a lot and Happy myLotting!;)

What a very serious and terribly scary message indeed, ljegbers.

To my mind, Mr. Goodbar seems to resemble a snuff film. Does it, though?

I presume that what made this particular movie all the more engagingly powerful was the effective acting of Richard Gere and Diane Keaton, right?

Considering that you deem it to be "pure horror," I may very well try to procure a copy of it so as to see what "pure horror" actually is.

Thanks a lot for your wonderful contribution and Happy myLotting!;)


myLot reputation of 93/100. ljegbers (5761)   ranked 417 out of 11,457 in watching movies  3 years ago

Yes, this movie was "made" because of the actors. The horror that I feel is because it could happen. It could happen to anyone and that to me is the scariest thing of all. When you take a story line that is so real to life and the possibilities of it happening to you or someone you know.


myLot reputation of 95/100. acmepride (759)   ranked 214 out of 11,457 in watching movies  3 years ago

I could not agree more that the real possibility that what you've seen on the silver screen would happen in real life is simply scary.

Your sharing, I must say, only heightens my interest in regard Mr. Goodbar.

Thanks a lot and Happy myLotting!;)

There are two movies that stick out in my mind as the most disturbing films I have seen. 8MM with Nicolas Cage and Juaquin Pheonix and The Audition (Japanese Horror Film). Those two films really bothered me when I watched them.


myLot reputation of 65/100. smileymom (115)   ranked 2,385 out of 11,457 in watching movies  3 years ago

8mm is the sh*t god nicholas cage was a better actor back in the day!


myLot reputation of 98/100. mamasan34 (4100)   ranked 638 out of 11,457 in watching movies  3 years ago

Nicolas Cage was much more on the edge back then, more willing to take risks I think. He did have some awesome movies! I think he did good in Ghost Rider, but he just doesn't have the boom he used to have at the box office. I miss the old Nic Cage!


myLot reputation of 95/100. acmepride (759)   ranked 214 out of 11,457 in watching movies  3 years ago

mamasan34, do you know who directed The Audition? If you do, who's he/she?

Is the spoken language in Nihongo? If yes, are the subtitles in English?

Thanks a lot for your helpful response!

Happy myLotting!;)

May I ask what led you to say that "8mm is the sh*t," smileymom?happy

the most disturbing film i have seen i have to say is "requirm for a dream" i forgot the directors name. but the movie is about how drug addiction can destroy lives..valuable lesson taught there.


myLot reputation of 95/100. acmepride (759)   ranked 214 out of 11,457 in watching movies  3 years ago

Is this the one starring Jeniffer Connelly? If it is, I believe I've seen it already.

Good thing you were able to gather a valuable lesson from such a bothersome movie, smileymom.

Thanks a lot for your fine post and Happy myLotting!;)


myLot reputation of 65/100. smileymom (115)   ranked 2,385 out of 11,457 in watching movies  3 years ago

yh the same one .... i thought she did a good role so did the marlon wayans....i always freak out when i see his friends arm rooting from all the heroine. smh


myLot reputation of 95/100. acmepride (759)   ranked 214 out of 11,457 in watching movies  3 years ago

It's perfectly understandable for you to freak out, smileymom, simply because such disturbing scene is really freaky.

Anyway, thanks a lot for your usual good comment and Happy myLotting!;)

Hmm...I have seen so many films. Some horror films are disturbing. It is hard for me to say was is the most disturbing. There is an older movie called Clockwork Orange...that was pretty disturbing. Good movie, I enjoyed. I recent movie I watched and found to be disturbing is "Perfume." The storyline was disturbing...but I have to admit it was a beautifully made film. Very well done. Beautiful imagery and art direction.


myLot reputation of 95/100. acmepride (759)   ranked 214 out of 11,457 in watching movies  3 years ago

Is Clockwork Orange an opus of Stanley Kubrick's? If it is, I think I've seen it already and I'm inclined to agree with you that it was really pretty disturbing.

I haven't watched Perfume yet, but if it was truly "very well done" because of its "Beautiful imagery and art direction," I would definitely try my darn best to find a good copy of one.

Do you know, though, who directed it and when its release date was?

Thanks a lot, matteo85!

Happy myLotting!;)


matteo85 (4)   ranked 3,444 out of 11,457 in watching movies  3 years ago

Yes you are right about Clock work orange! As for Perfume. The full movie title is: "Perfume: The Story of a Murderer." It was released in 2006 directed by Tom Tykwer.


myLot reputation of 95/100. acmepride (759)   ranked 214 out of 11,457 in watching movies  3 years ago

Thanks a lot for providing such pertinent details, matteo85!

Titanic. James Cameron directed it.

It wouldn't have been so bad except for the soundtrack. I still have nightmares that cause me to wake up in the night, sweating profusly as I hear those screeches in my head.

hello acmepride,I'll have to say among all the movie I've watched so far,the most disturbing film would be "The Hills Have Eyes".Director:Alexandre Aja.Erk,that film just makes me sick!


myLot reputation of 95/100. acmepride (759)   ranked 214 out of 11,457 in watching movies  3 years ago

Hello there, sugarfloss!

The Hills Have Eyes seems to be intriguing and I would certainly try to search for a copy of one to essentially see how sickening it truly is.

Thanks for your very nice post and Happy myLotting!;)

18. myLot reputation of 94/100. rbnstr08 (1653)   ranked 2,618 out of 11,457 in watching movies   3 years ago

There was never really a movie that disturbed or sort of haunted me because I know, for a fact, that there are a lot of exaggerations. Movies that depict true-to-life events of World War II crimes of Nazis and Japanese, are those that make me think. It's more on how soldiers were brainwashed by their leaders, to do those dastardly acts. It is very uncomfortable to imagine that a group of men would have a common interest in making those heinous war crimes, if they were not influenced by their leaders.


myLot reputation of 95/100. acmepride (759)   ranked 214 out of 11,457 in watching movies  3 years ago

I do get your point, rbnsts08. Depiction of such war atrocities, especially those involving conspiracy, in movies would certainly make anyone think.

Among such similarly themed films you've watched so far, though, which really made you think or affected you the most? Who directed it, if any?

Thanks a lot and Happy myLotting!;)

19. myLot reputation of 92/100. anaknitatay (783)   ranked 1,909 out of 11,457 in watching movies   3 years ago

The most disturbing films for me were Peewee Herman and the teletubbies.

the sun with a baby's face on it, aliens living in a valley with nothing but rabbits and they seem to like thrusting their hips forward and showing off their tummies with TV sets on them. before this show I only used to see these things in my dreams when I've had a little too much to eat.

and then there's Peewee herman a grown man who likes wearing make-up and doing very immature things. "daig pa kaya si Jacko"

The writers/directors that made them seem to be on a bad acid trip.


myLot reputation of 93/100. ljegbers (5761)   ranked 417 out of 11,457 in watching movies  3 years ago

Oh, you make me laugh....yes the teletubbies have a lot to be desired for, my children love them, but wow, it was a real test to watch it with them...


myLot reputation of 58/100. VoteforPedro (213)   ranked 1,453 out of 11,457 in watching movies  3 years ago

Yes! That baby in the sun on the Teletubbies always gave me the creeps!!


myLot reputation of 95/100. acmepride (759)   ranked 214 out of 11,457 in watching movies  3 years ago

lol... Although I haven't watched Peewee Herman and the teletubbies yet, I must admit that your description of it alone is already quite bizarre to say the least.

Thanks a lot for your humorous post and Happy myLotting, anaknitatay!;)

In terms of grown up movies...The Blair Witch Project, 8mm, and V for Vendetta stand out for disturbing me. The previews for The Hitcher bothered me enough that I refuse to watch the movie. There are others but their titles escape me now.

On the disturbing children's programming theme- Sponge Bob Square Pants, BooBahs, Teletubbies, The Wiggles, and The Upside Down Show.


myLot reputation of 67/100. Foxxee (2634)   ranked 2,188 out of 11,457 in watching movies  3 years ago

LMAO!

My daughter loves the "Upside Down Show"..

Sometimes I want to delete it off the DVR!


myLot reputation of 95/100. acmepride (759)   ranked 214 out of 11,457 in watching movies  3 years ago

You're now officially included in the growing list of myLotters who were really disturbed by 8 mm, foxyfire33.

I haven't seen Blair Witch Project yet, but a lot of people have told me that it's actually quite disturbing.

Who directed it, by the way?

In regard the disturbing children's programming theme, on the other hand, to be frank, I haven't seen any of it yet.

Would such children's programs still be disturbing for an adult, though?

Thanks a lot and Happy myLotting!;)
