Chainsaw Massacre 70's 80's 90's and 2000 along with the beginning one they came out with, and Saw 1234&5. They all had me trembling and chattering throughout the entire movie
and before I rode planes, turbulence was also pretty scary along with Passenger 57. Highjacking...frightening
I had nightmares about chainsaw about 3 or 4 times...1 is enough!
Audition - surreal at times with a genuinely disturbing climax
Texas Chainsaw Massacre - original from Tobe Hooper.
The Exorcist - lost its power to shock over the years but the first time I saw this at a young age I was suitably disturbed.
Oh gosh...several years ago I got a foreign film at the library with subtitles. It was interesting until all of a sudden they started showing body parts in this person's kitchen sink. I was eating a ham sandwich and even today.... I still can't eat a ham sandwich because it reminds me of that horrid scene in the movie. I never rented a subtitle film again.
This was a fascinating book and, in its own way, a creepy, haunting movie.
A lot of people didn't get it, though.
Perfume was pretty good! Well worth seeing, and disturbing in its own way.
I can't see Saw, or Red Dragon, or any of that kind of stuff. Way too horrifying.
I did *read* Red Dragon and other Lector books and that was plenty for me.
I don't know about an entire movie being disturbing, but there are some scenes in movies that truly do get to me;
1. In "Nashville" (a great movie if you haven't seen it) the scene where Ronee Blakely is going to start her "comeback tour" by singing at a county fair. The band plays the intro, she starts singing, then stops singing and just starts talking to the audience about random stuff, the band starts again and she does the same thing again. Then you realize she is having a complete breakdown onstage in front of this crowd of people.
2. In "Band Of Brothers" (probably the best or second best war film ever) in the episode titled "Crossroads", Capt. Winters has about 1/2 the company lined up in a ditch getting ready to attack a German position of unknown strength. He passes the word to "go on the red smoke", the tosses out a smoke grenade, which kind fizzles for a couple of seconds, a couple of troops start out of the ditch they're in and a Lieutenant grabs one guys arm and says; "he said go on the red smoke".
The grenade sits there for about 8-10 seconds and the entire time Capt. Winters is running BY HIMSELF toward the unseen German lines. By the time the grenade goes off he's about 80-100 yards ahead of the rest of his men. Even though the movie is 7 years old, and this happened in the winter fall of '44, and I know that Dick Winters is still alive (or was the last I heard) I always get a knot in my stomach when I watch it.
3. In "Memphis Belle" when the co-pilot (I think it's Billy Zane) wants to go fire the guns at the German fighters, he hits one of them and the FW rolls over and slices through the fuselage of another B-17, for a little bit there's the sound of the radio operator on that plane as the fuselage parts spin out of control and then just a loud static screech.
