I’m gonna say: Requiem for a Dream
While I agree, it’s honestly not one of aronofsky’s most fucked up movies imo.
I don’t know all of his stuff, though Mother! was pretty stressful to watch.
Pi. That’s all I need to say.
After you mentioned it, I had to check out Pi. I really liked it! If you haven’t seen it, you should check out David Lynch’s Eraserhead. I find it sort of similar, and also pretty fucked up.
I liked it too, but it’s messed up. And as someone with migraines, I understand the drill. I really, really do.
Great movie, very well done… But it’s disturbing as fuck.
Event Horizon
Yea there’s something to this movie, even though it’s kinda b-grade sci-fi horror. The idea and its presentation has something can get under your skin … including “that scene” (if you know you know).
I watched it as fairly young kid, at home alone, with most lights off (never being really bothered by horror), and no horror movie has troubled me more than that as I fell asleep thinking about if “that place” actually exists.
Man that’s weak sauce
Midsommar…fucked up but a nearly perfect horror flic
What do you mean, this is how us Swedes celebrate the summer solstice each year 🤔
Agreed lol. Finally had the heart to watch it last weekend (after having known it was by A24 films). Suffice it to say, it fucked me up at different parts of the film. Amazing juxtaposition between cult/psychological horror and colorful, vibrant scenery. Great film, but probably won’t watch it again.
Have heard a lot about Hereditary too, but not sure if I have enough courage to watch yet.
Natural Born Killers. Though it really depends on threshold. Pulp Fiction is a better film imo, and some people would consider it “fucked up”. But I don’t really.
Pulp Fiction is one of my favorite movies of all time, I can rewatch it at any moment
Overall it’s not really fucked up, it’s not THAT crazy of a story, there are just some fucked up parts.
A russian War Film called “Come and See” Three hours of watching a young boy being mentally wrecked by the atrocities of War. Gruesom, fucked up but incredible Film
Just watched that a few weeks back. Took years to psyche myself up to watch it, due to it’s notoriety. It wasn’t as bad as I thought it was going to be, but it is NOT for the faint hearted. Truly a masterwork in acting and cinematography. The sound, in particular, was haunting and dissonant.
“Requiem for a Dream.” It’s a great movie to watch once. I loved it, never have any interest in watching it again, and saw the book and thought, “Oh I liked that movie I’ll grab the book.” I started reading, and the first scene (as in the movie) is the junkie is at his mom’s place trying to steal her TV to sell to buy drugs, and she’s begging him not to because she wants him to get help, and he finds she’s chained the TV up so he can’t steal it as he’s done before, and he gets really mad at her because she’s chained the TV up so he can’t steal it.
I thought, “Oh, right,” and put the book down immediately. I have no interest in picking it up and reading the rest of it.
I can relate. Will never watch that great movie again.
I still didn’t finish it… But mostly because it’s boring and weird to be honest, not as much fucked up. In fact I guess I just don’t get it. It’s like… Trainspotting meets Donnie Darko? Both of those I like but this one doesn’t vibe with me.
Hardcore Henry.
It’s an easy answer. It’s a very pulpy, violent, action film shot entirely in a real time first person vantage. A guy gets experimented on, escapes from the mad scientist, then goes on a 90 min video game quest to save his kidnapped wife. It’s all explosions and train fights. It’s the kind of thing you worry that people will respect you less for having enjoyed, but it’s honestly an outstanding use of cinema and very fun.
Lovely movie. It’s done so well, I’m surprised nobody else attempted it.
If you like cheesy b horror and practical effect demo there is one called Hotel Inferno that is first person continual shot similar to Hardcore Henry but it can be a bit rough at times. The English dubbing isn’t great for example. At times the practical effects almost feels like the finisher kills from Doom 2016.
I think I’ve seen some bits, it looked pretty trash… But I don’t really have the appreciation for B horror.
That’s fair. I watched the whole trilogy and honestly it just becomes a slog. They took a novel idea and tried to franchise it and I think that wasn’t the best idea. Hardcore Henry is still very much superior.
The ending to The Mist will follow me to my grave. Absolutely fucked up
Pi by Darren Aronofsky
Came here to mention “Pi”, too.
The Road.
Tough book. Tough movie.
Is that the post apocalypse one?
Grave of the Fireflies if you want to be depressed.
Nightcrawler if you want to be creeped out.
Primer
That movie messed with my head. And Upstream Color…insane.
Amazing.
Deadgirl
Also I forgot the title… Vagina Dentata? Not good, more like silly.
Teeth sounds like the vagina dentata one - totally agree it’s not good but very silly!
That’s the one.

Jacob’s Ladder
