  • Martyrs (2008) 
    • I don't know what I would say about that movie today, but at the time I thought the ending was profound. 
  • Nekromantik (1988)
    • The ending was disturbing, not profound.
  • Nymphomaniac (2013)
    • Also felt profound at the time, but it's not disturbing.

I love disturbing movies where the atmosphere is very deep and anxious. Where the main characters are losing their mind. I will put some of the best movies I have seen in this category.

  • The Lighthouse (2019)
  • The Platform (2019)
  • Midsommar (2019)
  • The Witch (2015)
  • Valhalla Rising (2009)

What are your favorite "disturbing" movies?

Valhalla Rising is good, the main actor also played in Casino Royal James Bond movie as a villain.

The Thing, John Carpenter, the original and 90's remake, the artwork and the concept of an alien with complete mimicry is disturbing.

Final Fantasy 7, although it's a game it has similar concept of some creature 2000 years ago still having mimicking but also mind cintrol and hallucination like powers, and it's remake and other media also had that, not a movie but they did make one.

Fatal Frame 1,2 and 3, hands down most horrific game in the entire universe so far, most slept on G.O.A.T even in comparison to Resident Evil and Silent Hill, the last two were just mostly lucky breaks in marketing, promotions and business, and many other factors for their wide spread success, but what especially made Fatal Frame so scary but also disturbing, is that some events, locations and even the appearances of those ghosts are based in the director's living experiences and true events just hyped up a bit.

Alien, a classic. Although mostly known now, it doesn't lessen the suspense because you know the creature and what's it capable of so far, and the events, but it's the build up and the quality of the film that maintains it's replay value to me.

Hell Raiser, downright disturbing.

Berserk, the trilogy, but also the anime versions especially the 90's, and tbe manga series, very good art work and story but also deals with dark themes.

IT, and other Steven King's books and films. I suggest the books first before movies as it's more immersive and your mind actually makes the story cime to life,along with the disturbing events and creatures in them.

Watch 'Playtest' 

It s one of 'Black mirror' series episodes. It s a whole story by itself. 

It left me with a bad stomach-churning depressing mood, for hours.

That one was really good indeed. One of the best BM episodes.
