This is a better review than what I wrote:

10/10
Major Creep Fest
Why isn't this available in the US?

I don't know how to describe this with out making it sound like something its not, but I have to say that this is one of the creepiest and most disturbing films I've seen in quite some time. Its not perfect, even if I gave it a 10 out of 10, simply because few films have left me that uneasy.

Operating well with a sense that I can only describe as dream logic this concerns the really weird events surrounding several people who notice something is wrong when a friend goes missing. The friend is not the trigger, but the event that they notice making them suspect that all is not right in their world.

Everything about how this story is calculated to send slowly building shivers up and down your spine. There are no real moments of shock, just ever growing horror and unease. I hated the way that this movie made me feel but couldn't stop watching.

If you can stand slow calculating horror films that freak you out with images and implications then see this movie. Its one of the best I've seen in a while.

Any dog movie because the dog always dies in the end. It's like an unwritten rule.

Probably Eraserhead.

David Lynch movies creep me out way more than any horror movie I've seen. Eraserhead, Twin Peaks, Blue Velvet, Lost Highway and this a-hole in Mulholland Drive

Late addition of “Event Horizon.”

That’s a genuinely fricked up movie.

I have to look away during “the scene” where they finally unlock video of the message left behind.

Lynch has a way of implementing terror that stays with you long after you see it. So unsettling.

Scariest, most disturbing: The Exorcist.


The Exorcist, and The Omen, both caused me to be afraid to go to sleep. Horror movies that feature priests and The Bible always bother me, especially parts when the priests lose to the satanic forces.

I saw The Exorcist when I was 14, and was 17 for The Omen. I wasn't ready for either.

I still don't like watching those types of movies. I have to watch a minimum of an hour of comedy to get it off of my mind. Reading a book like that is even worse, and harder to get out of my head.

The worst was reading a little paperback book called Bluesmen. I thought it was just little biographical stories about different Blues musicians. The first chapter was about how common it was for Blues musicians to make Crossroads type deals with the devil, and how the devil spoke to them in their dreams.

Talk about hellhounds being on your tail!

I had trouble falling asleep for a couple of weeks straight. I never read past that first chapter. I didn't throw the book away that night, but I don't think it's still around.

Seriously underrated horror movie.

A Serbian Film, mostly because I was disturbed that someone put that out as entertainment. Sometimes, I think the movie business is just totally worthless now.

Hereditary

Eta: I must be really screwed up. I can watch Requiem for a Dream over and over. It fascinates me.

There are obviously documentaries that are just horrific, but I’ll stick to actual movies. An American crime has stuck with me ever since i first watched it.

AUDITION- It's pretty much the only movie I've watched as an adult that completely fricked me up.

Slow burn, brutally steep descent into madness.

Serbian Film and Salo:100 days of sodom

I haven't actually seen either, but read the cliff notes and that was enough.

Men Behind the Sun

It’s not well known but it’s a docudrama that re-enacts a lot of the well known experiments that the Japanese conducted on the Chinese and others prior to and during World War II. The description I can give can’t do it justice. A lot of fricked up human experimentation. Very dark stuff
