Quoted: While my first choice is the same as the OP's (Jacob's Ladder), I would NOT recommend it for anyone. Just absolutely the worst movie I've ever watched. And, my first wife felt the same. We saw it at the theater on release and when it finished, we looked at each other and basically said "What the FUCK?" View Quote View All Quotes View All Quotes Quoted: Quoted: For me, Jacob's Ladder. I really think I felt almost suicidal when it finished. It put the hook in me like nothing ever will again. Lots of heavy thoughts about religion, afterlife, etc. I'm not going to give away spoilers, but if you haven't seen it, see it. It's for me a movie I love to hate in a way. Honorable mention goes to The Road. I was prepared however as I had just read the book, which is even worse. List yours if you will. I have to agree. I watched it for the first time just a few years ago, and was not impressed. It's no Slaughterhouse-Five, that's for sure. |

Quoted: Old Boy.... It was the ending - where I yelled out "NOOOOOOOOO" I wanted to gauge my eyes out. https://www.ar15.com/media/mediaFiles/523431/Screen_Shot_2022-07-24_at_10_04_29_PM_pn-2464645.JPG View Quote Was that the one where he was imprisoned at a hotel, and then... Barf |

If you are talking about purely the most disgusting movie ever made I would put Salò somewhere near the top of that list. Italians make some of the most fucked up movies.
Definitely not for the weak of stomach. |

The korean movie Isle or Island made an impression with the most gruesome attempted suicide scene ever, along with some undeniably real animal abuse.

Quoted: One of the few movies that really sticks in my mind because I kept saying WTF over and over through it was Child of God. The guy who played Lester Ballard gave an amazing performance in one of the most fucked up roles I've ever seen. It is based on a Cormac McCarthy novel which I didn't know when I watched it but explains a lot of the freaky shit. https://www.imdb.com/title/tt1951095/?ref_=nm_flmg_act_70 View Quote It was a very impressive portrayal of human depravity. I turned it off. I just didn't feel that I wanted to see it. |

I've tried getting through Eraserhead twice, but I just can't do it. That's one fucked up movie. But I will try again.

The original The Fog scared the shit out of me when I was young.
Communion messed me up when it was new. I have s recurring nightmare if fucking aliens grabbing me. As did Prince of Darkness. The whole Satan in a jar thing was a mind fuck. I don’t watch the modern horror movies, think most of them are either needlessly sadistic, of just plain stupid. One daughter went to see ‘The Black Phone’ tonight. I’ve never heard of it, have no idea what its about, but am pretty sure it was stupid. Almost all modern movies are… |

Most of those listed here are essentially mainstream in the film world. They’re are widely available and many on streaming services. Really transgressive, disturbing stuff is hard to get for a reason. Sure, Serbian Film is gross, but it’s a slick, mid-tier drama with one truly gross-out scene. Same with Martyrs.
Passolini’s Salo is a bit closer to true transgressive cinema. It’s widely available because Criterion loves it. My stomach can take allot, so not much phases me as long as it’s fiction. The closest things I’ve seen were Men Behind the Sun about Japanese torture in WWII and the Guinea Pig series, which included a fake snuff film that is pretty realistic - so much so that Charlie Sheen (I think) reported it to the FBI. Merhige’s Begotten is pretty nuts. It’s on YouTube. |

Requiem for a dream. They should make teenagers watch this movie to make them think twice about trying hard drugs.

The Devils is a 1971 historical drama film written, produced and directed by Ken Russell, and starring Oliver Reed and Vanessa Redgrave. Horrible stuff. Must have been during the Inquisition.

I don't get what the big deal is about Jacob's Ladder. I felt let down after watching it after so many people made a big deal about it. It was just another mildly interesting movie with plot twist to me.

High Tension the NR version. It's subtitled but definitely worth the watch.

Off the top of my head the one that immediately comes to mind is Event Horizon. I'd say the most disturbing though is The Last House on The Left, specifically the 1972 version. I remember watching the full thing on Youtube years back when someone uploaded it in sorta HD. That was an experience...
Here's a link to the Wikipedia page with the plot summary. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Last_House_on_the_Left The 2009 version is still messed up but no where near as bad as the first. On a side note one of the most disturbing video games ever made is Drakengard. |

Titanic - couldn't believe he mooched up to a whale the entire movie only to die by drowning while the whale was beached. Most horrid movie about how far a man can debase himself for a better ride across the ocean and yet still gets the iceberg.
