Not disturbing, but one of the tensest film moments is the scene in Boogie Nights where Dirk, Reed and Todd are sitting on the couch at the drug dealer's.

My early childhood memory of a disturbing film was one called the eyes of laura...something (I forget). As I recall, the eponymous heroine was psychic, and kept seeing people being murdered, so she was helping a detective solve the case, and it turned out the detective was the murderer..
it was made for TV crap, I'm sure, but I was really young when I watched it, and it did have an effect.
oh, btw, god yeah that boogie nights scene was tense...especially so if one has ever been in that particular "mindset"... |

Old Boy - the tongue scene
The Green Mile - the dry-electrocution scene. Almost made me throw-up |

| when the old homeless man comes "home" in Amores Perros, and walks into a room of dead, ripped apart, bloody dogs. the dog he'd 'adopted' (from another character) has killed every other dog he had.. it was so shocking and brutal, and so sad. maybe a little predictable, but upset me, nonetheless. i love this movie. |

I love that movie too...it's has my husband in that movie...mmmm Gael.
Although it is a disturbing movie I think the most disturbing film I've ever seen beside Requieum for a Dream is Bully. I couldn't finish watching it because it felt like borderline child pornography. I am a big fan of Kids by the same director but I could not watch that film it made me nautious. And trust me I can usually watch any film and my personal collection is well over 500. Bully is not in my collection.
Speaking of Requiem....I have used that film in the past when I use to work with youth in custody centres back in Canada as a life skill lesson on how drug use and abuse can harm your life path if you can't control it. Good film for that matter...shock effect works great! |

Man...forget yall...I got it right here:
The scene from Exorcist: New Beginning where the child gets mauled to death by the possessed dogs.
Exorcist 1 - Regan stabbing herself in the *beep*
It's a wonderful life - the boy realizing he finally got his "toy tank". that was touching.
Man, no one has anything on the exorcist. |

That looks like that might be it. Man, that was disgusting. Makes fictional gunshots look like cartoons. I saw another real shooting on TV. It was some senator who filmed himself shooting himself in the head. This must have been about 5 years ago. Sorry, I don't remember his name. I do remember he was an older guy with white hair.
Real killings on film makes fictional killings look like Disney. |
Yeah it is/was quite gruesome. It was also filmed by another journalist at the same time. The police chief calmly walked up to the guy and casually fired the gun into his temple; the still shot was actually only a split-second long. You see the guys' knees buckle instantly and he lands on his back, blood spilling away to the gutter. Gruesome.

I think that scene scared the crap out of more people in the 70s than any other movie the whole decade! |

You're thinking of something else. The footage Dev referred to was of Budd Dwyer, who in 1987 shot himself during a press conference.

Eyes of Laura Mars. Yeah, that was kinda creepy.
For me the most disturbing scene was in Omen when that kid fell through the ice, then the followed him downstream and couldn't get him out.
Really freaked me out. I couldn't walk out on ice after that.
I was so glad to move to the desert!
I'm not a big fan of drowning (or cold water), so I wasn't too fond of the original Posiedon Adventure. Again, it made me glad to move to the desert. |

i definitely agree with that one...it was gross and very creepy
what makes a movie more disturbing is the usual creepy music that goes along with it.....like the classic jaws..dah dah..dah dah..dadadadaadada.....
i also agree with the hannibal movie with ray liotta eating his brains and the rape scene in pulp fiction
so many disturbing movies so little space... |

No one mentioned the 3-way gunfight in Fistfull of Dollars?
That's supposed to be the classic moment of movie tension and slow build-up (but it doesn't work well enough for me though).

1) The teeth pulling scene in Old Boy....FFFFFFFFUUUU********** do I HATE things with teeth....
2) Ju-On... that movie messes me up too. I think the worst moment for me is the girl in her apartment...damn.
I have completely forgotten most movies I see...and I'm kinda happy with that.
It ain't ass raping, or dirty killing but man...that really freaked me out... I don't usually feel "tense" in movies...just "normal....scared"
Oh..I think this is a good place for me to ask this.
I have been DYING to try to remember the name of this movie:
1) I don't remember who was in it or the general plot (the lead was a male)
2) Somewhere near the start of the movie, the man is laying on the lawn with his wife when a refridgerator falls outta the sky and lands right on her.
Could someone PLEASE tell me the name of that movie. It's been killing me. |

Way back in the early 80's me and three buddies were sitting around watching a rental movie drinking beer. The movie ended and we just talked on, and about 1 minute later a new movie started up. It was black & white, no sound and very rough looking. A girl, tied to a chair, getting tortured and beaten to death. It only lasted a few minutes, maybe 5. It had us mesmerized. It was too real looking. We talked about it for several minutes and one guy called the cops. They came over and took it away. The next day a couple of detectives called us and came to interview us all. They were very intense. We told them what happened and they wrote our tales down and left. Turns out it was a real snuff flick. Don't know if they ever caught the b*astards or not.
Very disturbing indeed. |
