If the title alone isn't enough to make you squirm, a brief rundown of the premise for the indie horror movie, "The Human Centipede," certainly will. Any film involving three humans sharing a single digestive tract obviously isn't aiming to be easy on the eyes.
Yet director/writer Tom Six's portrayal of a crazed surgeon who takes his skills at separating conjoined twins and uses them to create his own living human insect has left some critics appalled that it was even created; venerated critic Roger Ebert didn't think his star rating system was even applicable.
"No horror film I've seen inflicts more terrible things on its victims than 'The Human Centipede,'" Ebert wrote in his review. "The star rating system is unsuited to this film. Is the movie good? Is it bad? Does it matter? It is what it is and it occupies a world where the stars don't shine."

most disturbing movie? well, i will admit that The Serpent and The Rainbow did cause some chills but most horror flicks just bore me. i still say Jaws is the greatest horror movie ever made.
Mad City (turned it of 40 mins in. I SO wanted Travolta and Hoffman to die... heaven help me, why do I remember this movie?)
Moulin Rouge (I wanted Toulouse LaTrec to mow them all down with automatic weapons, couldn't finish it either)
Pearl Harbor (ok, many did die, but Afflek deserved torture, turned it off early as well)
many, many more
100% medically accurate? I don’t think so. Tissue rejection is the least of the problems here!
20,000 Leagues Under The Sea. I was in the finishing stages of potty training when I watched it, and my brother told me to be careful because giant squid could reach their tentacles through the plumbing and grab you off the commode.
The Demon Seed was disturbing on so many levels, mainly because a computer rapes a woman.
GMTA! Just posted that one. *Shudders*
I’d agree for two reasons: the boat ride scared the sh!t out of me as a kid, and two, the Oompa Loompas STILL scare the sh!t outta me.
You are absolutely correct about Eraserhead. After seeing the woman in the radiator scene and that “baby,” I’m sure no other movie could ever come close to being as disturbing.

Hands down most disturbing
I thought someone slipped me some LSD before starting to watch it.
Titanic - Ten minutes into the movie, I’m yelling, “Just Sink Already!”
view. the. trailer.
There was a movie made a couple of years ago called “Funny Games” by an Austrian director (actually it was a scene for scene remake of his original German-language film) that is nothing but nihilistic sadism from beginning to end.
Somehow he got big name stars (Naomi Watts, Tim Roth) to be in it, though Roth was so disturbed by the final product that he refuses to list it on his resume.
Glad I opted out early, it didn’t look like a movie I was going to like.

That is a creepy movie. I've tried to watch it a few times, and become so claustrophobic that I've never seen it entirely.
I do watch "Rosemary's Baby" and "The Exorcist" whenever they're on. I find them to be fascinating but disturbing.
I had to go stand outside at times to get some fresh air and recover. Don't know why I even finished it other than I had actually rented it and wondered if justice would be...um, served.
That “doll” is really the First Lady!!!
“Manos, The Hands Of Fate”.
Not only is it one of the worst movies ever made, the ending made me want to go take a shower.
Creepy. Bad creepy, not even the kind of creepy that gives you nightmares.
