TOP 16 MOST TRAUMATIZING FILMS I'VE EVER SEEN

[@yakmartin5429]

Great video, thank you. And even if I didn't agree with some picks... man, you have a Kuchi Kopi on your shelf! Liked and subscribed! 🧸💕

[@CKprimeval07]

I agree that Irreversible, A Clockwork Orange, Come and See and Tetsuo were all disturbing films that were great. I also want to mention Perfect Blue, When the Wind Blows, Barefoot Gen, Birdboy: The Forgotten Children and Threads did disturb me when I first watched them.

[@dclark4422]

Loved your picture of Midsommar in the background. Will definitely get into this list.

[@TheMisfitPond]

Thanks dude!! Can’t wait to hear what you think of my list!

[@jesusperez7108]

Interesting list. A lot of your picks weren't super obvious like Requiem for a Dream or Natural Born Killers. I knew what number 1 and 2 were going to be, but the actual ranking of certain films actually surprised me.

[@laflame4473]

Funny hearing you talk about a ClockWork Orange I had the same exact reaction made me fall in love with film and became my favorite film ever

[@TheLazyReviewer]

Dude Awesome Zelda shirt!! Glad to see Gummo getting some recognition it feels a like an authentic documentary which makes it way disturbing

[@TheMisfitPond]

Thanks dude! Zelda is my favorite video game by far lol and hell yea dude. I love the way Gummo is captured. Feels incredibly authentic

[@chloehandy3516]

Zelda shirt, horror buff, and do I hear sleep in the background? U gotta be kidding me. Are we the same person??

[@lunijancoraite6601]

hey, thanks for all the fun and insightful videos! Your channel is one of the highlights of 2020 to me, glad I found it. Also, I love the music of your intro sequence, makes me feel like I'm about to watch smth really cool and makes me excited. Great list, gonna get into watching the ones I haven't seen yet. Personally I would add The Cook, the Thief, His Wife & Her Lover in the top 5. Watched it recently and it surprised me how sophisticated yet disturbing the movie was, I loved & hated every bit of it. Greetings!

[@TheMisfitPond]

No problem at all! I’m so inspired by being able to be a highlight in your 2020. And thanks for the compliments on the music! One of my best friends made it for me a while ago and people seem to really love it! I have a review on The Cook, The Thief, His Wife and her Lover! It’s a film that I really enjoyed and admired! Unfortunately, One of the things I didn’t like about it was the way the ending was built up and presented. I loved the concept of it. I just wasn’t a fan of the execution. Therefore, wasn’t as disturbing for me. But it’s a conceit that is certainly disturbing and the fact that resonated with you means you have excellent taste! Thank you so much for your wonderful feedback! :)

What is the film in the middle on the thumbnail

[@the_k_space]

Was always on the fence about Irreversible bc I thought it looked boring. Guess I’m in for a wild ride tonight lol

[@SpyKiFTW]

Great list, I love every film on here except for May and The Nightingale which I haven't seen yet. Both of those are high on my watchlist though!

[@ShelbyTaylorExists]

Happiness was surprisingly well-done. The parts that were funny were *really* funny and the parts that were upsetting were absolutely bone-chilling.

[@BirdofKino]

Amazing list bro. Definitely got some that fucked me up bad as well. Irreversible man holy shit

[@DamnableReverend]

I need to re-watch Inland Empire. Didn't seem to really "get it" the first time. Also is taht Sleep playing between entries? nice. At first I thought Electric Wizard but no...Sleep's Holy Mountain

[@matthewsmith3322]

Inland Empire is so underrated. I'm glad to see it on this list

[@bbeaup]

One disturbing film ive seen is the piano teacher. Caught me way off guard because i never knew anything about it outside it was iconic and the cover made me think it was a romance.

[@ajford3973]

Duuuudddeee you beat me to it haha i’m uploading my favorite horror movies video soon!! Another amazing video my dude

[@TheMisfitPond]

Haha ah Damn! Well I promise to check yours out and give it a LIKE! lol thank you so much!

[@ajford3973]

[@joserrapere5928]

As a woman I found Sophie's Choice as totally traumatizing.

[@TheCherri306]

May got a nod! I really enjoyed that movie, how the tone shifts quickly from disturbing to camp to gruesome back to camp to disturbed. It was really well done and not a lot of people talk about it

[@felixdugre-arcand6889]

Duuuuuude you gotta review La Haine!

[@TheMisfitPond]

I was thinking about it. I just might sometime soon

Dr Manhattan thanks dude!! Can’t wait either!

[@chrisbrandt6245]

Wow, excellent and sometimes surprising list. I have Irreversible and Martyrs also in my Top 3. Let me please tell you what my No.1 film is. True story. It disturbed me so much in theaters back then, that I almost passed out in my seat. No shit! So I didn’t look on the screen for a while lol For the rest of the film I had my popcorn bag right on my belly in case I had to puke, obviously I didn’t felt that great, but thankfully I didn’t had to. Till this day, I haven’t seen it again and I promise I won’t. Some might laugh right now but I don’t care. The film I‘m talking about is one of the most successful R-Rated films in cinema history, The Passion of the Christ. By the way, have you seen Inside yet?! It would made it in my Top 5

[@TheMisfitPond]

Chris B haha I can definitely see why Passion of the Christ would be traumatizing. It’s literally somebody being tortured for 2 hours for a total non crime. And it’s got some great acting and filmmaking behind it despite that it’s pure propaganda lol

[@chrisbrandt6245]

@@TheMisfitPond , thanks for responding. Yeah, it was literally one hell of a theatrical experience😂 I like and respect Mel Gibson as a filmmaker though, and I think especially Apocalypto is a very good and underrated film.

[@TheMisfitPond]

Chris B dude apocalypto imo is his best film. It’s incredibly impressive on every phase. Love it

[@kathy7039]

I'd appreciate it if you could tell us if these films are in English, I cant watch foreign language films.

[@etherealbonds]

Very disturbing movies I know you did not mention are: The Girl Next Door Mother! Men Behind The Sun The 120 Days Of Sodom August Underground The Golden Glove Man Bites Dog Possession A Pigeon Sat On A Branch Reflecting On Existence The House That Jack Built High Tension Inside Disturbing documentaries: The Act Of Killing Earthlings Dear Zachary

[@skynetsworld]

@@TheMisfitPond Joking aside, i would pick for example: -Takashi Miike's Audition [1999] (This is really disturbing! Better don't watch it, if you haven't already. Seriously! ) -Ravenous [1999] and -The Descent [2005]

[@HAIKALzcy]

Have you seen lilya 4-ever ? 😫

[@DamnableReverend]

Regarding the Naked Lunch...the movie is still more linear and "straightforward" than the book. It's my favourite Cronenberg next to Videodrome.

[@noahlasher9724]

For me it’s that and The Fly

[@brycemichel9745]

I can think of at least two things that are wrong with that title

[@BloodylocksBathory]

Is it me or does the poster for Gummo look like a Stephen Gammell illustration?

[@lutho7693]

Do you know the Film "Goodbye Uncle Tom"?

[@noahlasher9724]

The Girl with The Dragon Tattoo and Persona. He can’t say those are traumatizing without seeing these

[@TheMisfitPond]

Noah Lasher two films that have been in my watchlist for a long time. Especially Persona

[@noahlasher9724]

@@TheMisfitPond I was hoping you would’ve bought it at the last Criterion Sale (seeing as how you had it in your pile for a while). Oh well, I’m sure you’ll release a review as soon as you watch it. 👍

[@VatnikSlayer2799]

Okay. I just watched a film called Mysterious Skin and it may be the most disturbing film I’ve ever seen. The dismemberment in a movie like Martyrs I can handle. The pedophilia seen in this movie made my skin crawl. Have you heard of it?

[@TheMisfitPond]

I have heard of it but not much about it. Sounds pretty insane and twisted

[@SpyKiFTW]

As a follow-up to my last comment, I recently watched The Nightingale and it was incredible but definitely traumatic.

[@TheMisfitPond]

So glad you watched it! I agree with your sentiments exactly. Incredible but also incredibly traumatic.

[@thaber]

The Bridge (2006) Documentary. Filmmakers use hidden cameras to capture the various suicide attempts at the Golden Gate Bridge

[@TheOncomingStorm]

Have you seen Threads (1984)? It's horrifying. Probably on par with Irreversible in terms of how disturbing it is (mainly due to its realism). Fucked me up real bad. Definitely traumatized me the most. But it's an anti-war Masterpiece!

[@DarthDani]

Spooky Rice?

[@sprogmonkey8]

Great List. Most would be on my list too. A few exceptions. Have you seen Michael Haneke's debut film, The Seventh Continent. I'd love to see you review this film, very disturbing and intense. It's a slow burner but psychologically traumatic, nightmarish and stays with you for days if not weeks. Don't watch if you suffer depression or any form of mental illness (should come with a serious warning). It depicts the nihilism and self destructive nature of modern industrial society, pesonal disentegration and alienation, and the banality and futility of life in general for your average middle class family. And what's even worst, is that its based on a true story, ripped straight from the headlines. Fucking insane, made me ill. Also Cronenberg's Crash would be on my list, Cronenberg, sado-masichism and car crashes, what more can I say. I might even do these as $50 patron reviews soon just to get your thoughts.Thanks Dude.

[@HAIKALzcy]

What really happened in the seventh continent ? I mean why did (spoiler)......... Killed themselves ?

[@ryuken3585]

I kicked off today be watching Dogtooth and Eraserhead back to back both for the first time. Ended the evening with Requiem for a Dream which I had only seen once many years ago. Hope I can sleep lol

[@Stephen333]

The most electrifying American film to break at Cannes since pulp fiction! John powers, VOGUE

[@VatnikSlayer2799]

I just watched May the other night because of your review and loved it. It was equal parts awkward and disturbing. Martyrs was gory as fuck but shit like that and The Green Inferno doesn't bother me as much. But that fucking scene in The Nightingale made me wince and momentarily close my eyes. It's and amazing film. The rape scene from I Spit on Your Grave is also difficult to watch. As well as the rape scene from Deliverance. And Come and See was a very harrowing experience because you realize that this shit really occurred. I still need to check out Gummo. I've never heard of Happiness. I watched 4 Months, 3 Weeks and 2 Days because of your review and it was really good and also harrowing to learn that these people endured this oppression. Dogtooth and Antichrist are awesome and disturbing. I'll check out Cache. Funny Games annoyed me like no other movie. I tried watching Irreversible but it wasn't my thing. I've never seen a David Lynch or Cronenberg film. I hear great things about Mulholland Drive. Maybe I'll check it out. I just watched Requiem for a Dream again and that film is amazing to me. I just finally watched Black Swan and loved that. Aronofsky is now one of my favorite filmmakers. It's not disturbing but The Fountain is just incredible. As far as thought provoking, existential, ambiguous films I think it's my favorite. And I need to rethink my top ten favorites of all time because I think I need to squeeze it in there.

[@TheMisfitPond]

Kevin Mosley dude thank you so much for addressing everything you possibly could in this video! Means a lot lol I obviously suggest checking out the ones that you haven’t seen yet. I’d really love to know what you think about them. Especially Cache. Cache is vastly different from funny games.

The Poughkeepsie tapes and Megan is missing are movies to recommend. These count to the list of the most disturbing films existing. In Megan is missing beware of the last 20 minutes. Do not watch if irreversible was already too much (!!!!)
