To this day, I won't watch that movie again. I only wish MST3K could have given it "the treatment".

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."

I remember seeing the movie Kids a very long time ago... I found that disturbing on a certain level. Event Horizon also disturbs me. Every time I see Sam Niell, I cringe.
“Wrong Turn” I,II & III
blood & guts!

The best laugh all night. Thank you!
Sure, but watching it via Mystery Science Theater 3000 was a HOOT! :)
Invaders from Mars, where the little boy’s parents turn against him and try to deliver him to the aliens.
I went to see the Nicolas Cage movie “8mm” when it was out in the theater and to this day I have never wanted to see it again. It left me a bit unsettled in the stomach when I walked out of that one.
Didn’t see “Quarantine”—was it good?
The last disturbing movie my wife and I watched togeter, “30 Days of Night.” What a terrifying movie. Very well done, but I had a hard time sleeping that night, and it stuck in my head for days.
As good as it was, I really have no desire to see it again any time soon.
“Invaders from Mars” the ‘50s version or the ‘80s version? I saw the ‘80s version when I was a kid, and bugged me for a long time, too. Mainly the way the whole film unfolded, then it turned out it was all a dream and all was OK, then the ship actually lands in his backyard like in his dream. Kind of unsettling to a kid!
Oooo, “Event Horizon”...I forgot about that one. Excellent, very scary and disturbing.
Also “The Ring.” I watched that with some fellow college friends during Spring Break in the mountains of PA during a snowstorm. VERY creepy, very well done.
:) My childhood was in the ‘50’s, so yes, “my” version was the 1953 version, by the great William Cameron Menzies, with the child inducing nightmare sets, which alone were enough to play on childhood fears. I think one of the scenes that bothered me the most, was when the boy goes into the police station to tell them about the aliens. The station was like something out of Dr. Suess; a huge sparse hallway with this huge desk and this officer looking down at the kid. The whole movie was just a nightmare...
Requiem For A Dream. Very well made, but also (intentionally) disturbing.
bttt
I thought it was very good in terms of its ability to scare the heck out of you. Like you and 30 Days of Night, I won't watch Quarantine again......
I enjoyed some of his early movies, especially "Take the Money and Run" and "Love and Death".
Scariest movie for me was Deliverance. Brian DePalma made an entire career out of ripping off the end of that movie.

To this day, I won't watch that movie again. I only wish MST3K could have given it "the treatment".
Point taken. Remember, though, those movies are more than 35 years old! He hasn’t done anything remotely decent since. A longer losing streak than Bill Murray.
"And if there are children here my "friend," YOU will DIE!!!"
At first I thought the toy maker was Bob Keeshan.
