The Mist. Its peak optimism starts at below sea level and takes a sharp downhill cliff from there, whereupon the ending pretty much leaves you in a depressive black hole.

Even more surprising, its a stephen king franchise where his book actually ended on a more positive note.
View Quote
The Mist (novella) had a different ending (well not really an ending) than the movie. The movie ending wasn't King. I wouldn't say the novella ended on a positive note, it just left it open for the reader to fill in the ending.

ETA: To me the movie ending seemed too, I don't know, (gimmicky?). The open ending of the book was more of a mind fuck to me but I could see where it wouldn't go over well with movie goers.

Bone Tomahawk

Any of the SAW movies

I used to include John Carpenter's The Thing on the list, but I've seen it so many times now it doesn't have the shock value anymore.

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.

Bad boy bubby was fun.

The only mainstream movie that really fucked with me was se7en. I thi k it was the first movie I had ever seen in the theater that didn't have a happy ending or at least some closure.  It fucked with my head.

The Act of Killing is pretty fucked up. It's a documentary about the genocide in Indonesia which many do not know about. It is recreated with musical numbers directed by the actual general who carried out the genocides. I shit you not.

The Act of Killing - Official Trailer


In the Company of Men is about two guys who play a mean joke on a deaf girl by pretending to date her and then dumping her at the same time. Supposidly it almost got an NC-17 rating despite having no sex or violence in it. One of Aaron Eckhart's first roles to boot.

M - https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/M_

M is a 1931 German thriller film directed by Fritz Lang and starring Peter Lorre in his breakthrough role as Hans Beckert, a serial killer of children. An early example of a procedural drama, the film centers on the manhunt for Lorre's character, conducted by both the police and the criminal underworld.

I wanted to see this back in the 90s but Blockbuster didn't have it. I called their 1-800 number and the lady helped me find a location that had a copy of it. I was on the phone for about twenty minutes with her because doing a key word search for "M" yielded a lot of results. Key word search wasn't what it is today, but we found it!

To me, there can't be a good answer to the question 'why was this film made?" A Serbian Film, while pretty fucked up on the surface, was made that way intentionally to mock Serbia's official attitude towards film (hence the name).

Most David Lynch movies are this way because he's completely insane.

Irreversible is another that should never have been written or produced.

Kids was extremely nihilistic. Just dark and seemed to represent a complete lack of concern for humanity.

Just thought of a couple very good movies but they are dark..

Frailty with Bill Paxton. Great plot twists. Horrible dark themes.

The Savior with Denis Quaid. Very excellent capture of the Serb Croat war and its toll on the people there.

I teach film.

I have seen pretty much every film mentioned in this thread.

Although some were disturbing, and despite Pink Flamingos having some funny moments, it is the only film that has physically made me dry heave.

For a film that is a fictional tale about one-upmanship by doing disgusting things, Waters and Divine finally got me in the end with their documentary moment.

Irreversible has some cinematic merit.  It is a very good take on non-linear storytelling.

The acting is excellent.

It is a very sobering film for sure.

Noe is very controversial but he makes bold choices as a director and I appreciate that about him.

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.

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.

Salo.  That movie is all kinds of fucked up.

The day I saw Jacob's Ladder I had been in a motorcycle accident.  Picked it up on the way home from the hospital.  Needless to say when it got to the end and you realize his whole life after Vietnam was all in his head as he was dying on an operating table during the war, it fucked me up a bit.  Spent about an hour convinced I was dying on the road the movie was my message to let go.

I just watched a movie on Netflix (I think, might've been Prime), called, "Dragon Day".

Impossible to believe anyone in a position like the main protagonist could be so unprepared/stupid.

The premise was good/prescient though and it definitely had potential.
