For the best fucked up movie as in THE MOST fucked up, for me it's Gummo.

I have never watched the full movie, but I think Eraserhead needs a mention.

Blue Velvet? Probably up there...

I lived in those apartments from 2005-2007. Had never heard of the movie until a neighbor friend said "hey check this out"...

I watched Funny Games in theaters in high school and it pissed me off so much. I literally shouted “fuck you” at a screen in a public theater. It wasn’t until much later that I realized that was the point.

I’ve been meaning to watch it again.

Grave of the Fireflies

Can't go wrong with Riley Sterns. Faults and The Art of Self Defense are great wtf dark comedies.

Cannibal Holocaust. That’s the most fucked up thing you’ll ever watch

Snowtown has been the one in my life which has really stuck with me particularly because it’s a true story. The murder scenes were so prolonged and graphic.

"A Serbian Film"

Young and dumb I watched a movie suggested by 4chan, I still have flashbacks over 10 years later of 1 scene from the movie.

100%, it's not even a good story to go along with all that trauma.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Definitely Titane or Men. Both super fucked up. Weird but beautiful.

Romulus, My Father. Made me skip a semester exam, seriously.

Freddy Got Fingered and Sucker Punch come to mind..

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I think it was red letter media that did a whole thing about how Freddy got fingered was likely a middle finger from Tom green to the studio who paid him to make that movie.

I think it's this one.

I think the best one had to be that remake of a Kurosawa horror film called The Grudge with Sarah Michelle Gellar. That was the only horror movie to ever actually give me a true scare.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

The Grudge is definitely not a Kurosawa film lol

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

Ach! You're correct. My memory failed me. I thought The Grudge was a remake of Ju-On and I forgot who directed Ju-On. I see that it is now a Netflix series. Might have to check it out. Ju-On
