User blog comment:SnakeTongue237/The Best Disturbing Films and the Unfortunate Occurrence That Always Seems To Befall Them/@comment-25226524-20161004184052

Salo - What is considered by many (not me) to be the most disturbing movie ever made. It's a modernized version of one of my favorite pieces of literature, 120 Days of Sodom, and even though I don't find it to be the most disturbing film, it certainly deserves to be mentioned. Perhaps if I had never read the book, I would have found it more disturbing. de Sade had no limits, while Pasolini (which is always the case with film) had many. All that being said, I don't recommend this film to anyone. (Didn't enjoy)

Human Centipede 2 - This may be the most visually disturbing film I've ever seen. Sadly, that's really all it is. It's just Tom Six's attempt (a successful one) at one-upping his prior film and clinging to what will likely be his only claim to fame. The film is impressively shot, with almost no dialogue, and the black and white picture definitely adds something, in my opinion. There's nothing beneath the surface of this film, unless one simply creates it in their mind, but there's certainly no shortage of disturbing imagery (the part with the knees still haunts me). (Sort of enjoyed)

Martyrs - A quality film, in my opinion, that is not only disturbing but also has some legitimate scares in it. Its reputation for extreme violence has sadly overshadowed all other aspects of the film. Be careful with which version you get; I didn't do proper research and bought the unrated version, not realizing that there were three minutes missing. (Enjoyed it)

The Seventh Continent - Among the most nihilistic films ever made. You'll likely just go to bed and curl up in a ball after watching this one. A brutally honest film. I recommend watching almost anything by Haneke. (Enjoyed it, but many may want to kill themselves after watching it. Seriously)

Caligula - Dear God, I don't know why I'm mentioning this one, but I can't help it. It's basically porn with famous people in it, but that's not what's disturbing about it. The knowledge that this man existed and lived a very similar lifestyle to what is portrayed is a very disturbing thought. An insane sadist with absolute power; could you imagine living in this situation? (Slightly enjoyed due to overall ridiculousness)

Antichrist - Genital mutilation aside, this film is still rather disturbing. A descent into madness brought on by guilt and resentment. Beautifully shot with a great score. Not for the squeamish. (Enjoyed it)

Audition - This film is creepy as hell. Everyone should watch it at some point. Even without the excruciating ending, the film is still very unsettling. (Enjoyed it)

Snuff 102 - This isn't a good film, or much of a film at all, but I'll admit it's tough to sit through. The way it's shot gives it an all too real feeling. Had to find this one online somewhere. DVDs are basically nonexistent. (Didn't enjoy)

Melancholie der Engel (Angels' Melancholia) - Last, but certainly not least, this is the sickest film I've ever seen (and I own A Serbian Film). The film is complete garbage, but Dora is the least restrained director I've ever witnessed. Here is the content advisory from IMDB for anyone that doesn't have any desire to watch the film - Spoilers! I don't recommend this film at all, but I had to mention it. It's another one that's nearly impossible to find on DVD, but somehow it has managed to survive on Youtube, believe it or not (completely uncut). I don't think they know it's there. You can turn on the subtitles under settings, but it won't help make much sense of the whole ordeal. It takes a while to get to the worst of it, but once you get there you quickly start wanting to turn back. Fun for the whole family. (hated it)

If I had to pick my top three that I recommend watching from that group, it would be Martyrs, The Seventh Continent, and Audition. If you just want to add one to your commenter's choice section, I would add Martyrs because it hits from the most angles.
