10 Disturbing Horror Movies I Will NEVER Watch

[@andysentertainmentcorner1421]

yeah Irréversible is shocking and disturbing, no i dont recommended, you made the right call to not watch this movie

[@jenniferlopez3554]

I don’t recommend

[@80s_Film_Fan]

@@andysentertainmentcorner1421 the director has said that his intention with this film was to make the viewer feel uncomfortable and sick. Almost like a spinning fairground ride, which is the reason for the spinning camerawork. So not only is the content sickening, but the film is designed to actually make you feel physically nauseous

[@jamesbok8385]

It isn't a bad movie though, it's one of the films in my selected recommendations, if I know the person is in to transgressive cinema, then I see no issue with it, otherwise, I won't.

[@krissymarklewis1793]

I couldn't watch it because of the camera tricks and the sound design. Have you watched the directors other big film Climax?

[@krissymarklewis1793]

@@80s_Film_Fan well it worked ha.

[@peterroyce3487]

A serbian film was traumatizing. Watched it uncut, felt sick. Very utterly depraved.

[@Gavinmartinlee]

The house that jack built is one that I’ve seen but will never watch again it was just too much

[@dakritic]

I agree with you 100% regarding Serbian film. I love horror and I refuse to watch it. Everyone evolved should be investigated thoroughly. Who the hell green lights shit like that? 😡

[@krissymarklewis1793]

someone thats Serbian I'd imagine ha

[@crystalshaw8744]

One horror or thriller movie I will never watch is A Serbian Film. Also I watched this one movie, Found and yeah that was it for me.

[@opethmike]

Found got me bad too

[@RogerKimski1]

Missing out on some really good horror there.. Martyrs, A Serbian Film, Irreversible, Audition, Anti Christ are all excellent movies. Yes hard to watch but worth while, if your a horror fan.. or should i say a fan of challenging cinema..

[@sgtmac62]

Mother. It's more in your head, than on screen.

[@Craigsy79]

Audition and martyrs were phenomenal. I have only ever watched them once though ;) grotesque lives up to its name. Most effed up movie on this list by a mile. I'd add the French movie 'Inside' onto this list too

[@tomtcf76]

I recently tried to get my girlfriend to watch The Wicker Man (1973 version) and she flipped her lid at the scene where Edward Woodward's policeman witnesses islanders having sex outside in the dark, The Wicker Man is a personal favourite of mine but i ended up switching it off because of her reaction. I was gutted! But in hindsight, i have to respect other peoples feelings. I have not wished to view any of these films you mentioned because their content by synopsis alone is extremely disturbing, so i refuse to watch them. I know that The Wicker Man is tame by comparison.

[@80s_Film_Fan]

I strongly recommend Martyrs, Audition and Frontiers. Yeh they're very shocking with the gore in places, but genuinely great films with a moral message at the core of their story. But if you can't stomach those 3, then I also reccomend avoiding the French film Inside (2007)

[@WolfmansGotNards]

I keep meaning to watch Inside.

[@80s_Film_Fan]

@@WolfmansGotNards I'd say Inside is more shocking than Frontiers and Martyrs. It's a really tough watch at times

[@Ripley_Ellen]

@@80s_Film_Fan Inside is way more shocking (imho) and disturbing than either of those. Martyrs must have hit me at the wrong time though because it's one of the few horror movies that made me legitimately cry at the end. I was destroyed from that movie for some reason!!

[@rayred-rj9us]

I was about to comment the exact same thing :)

[@yippykiyay89]

All fantastic movies

[@mayamelina6]

I haven’t seen all of these, but of the ones I have I’d say you should give Mother, Martyrs, and Audition a try. All had interesting stories backing the violence. I’d say Martyrs is definitely most disturbing though. Mother wasn’t all that bad and the infant’s part in it was mostly off screen. The thing that bothered me the most about it was the anxiety it gave me as an introvert who hates having strangers in my personal space. lol It felt like nightmares I’ve had so for me it was very effective and had a creative message. Audition was a beautifully made film and super creepy. The cinematography and attention to detail was amazing. The needle thing isn’t throughout the whole movie, and if that part bothers you, you can skip over it. Irreversible and A Serbian Film on the other hand are hard to watch… they just make you feel disgusted with yourself after watching so I wouldn’t recommend them.

[@l.salisbury1253]

Surprised none of these were on your list: Human Centipede (ANY of them- especially that 2nd one!) I Spit On Your Grave (again, any version) Cannibal Holocaust Cannibal Ferox

[@WolfmansGotNards]

Na. Those seem tame in comparison. And I've seen those ones.

[@l.salisbury1253]

@@WolfmansGotNards First time I ever heard someone call Cannibal Holocaust "tame"...!

[@robertmorrison6727]

Martyrs is the one that list that I've actually seen and it was a very good movie, I'm in no great rush to watch it again though! I've heard people mention some film called "Salo" (don't think that is it's full title) and after reading a bit of the synopsis it was an absolute, 100%, will never ever watch that crap in my life from me!

[@WolfmansGotNards]

Oh yes. Salo is another one! I will never watch that.

[@rustyshackleford6035]

Yeah I was thinking 🤔 if that would be on this list I watched that movie just so I can say I watched it and now I would probably not admit I saw in mixed company one of most extreme movies I've ever watched

[@simplythebestgirl]

I respect your decision not to watch these movies, Barry! Great video 👍👍👍.

[@aboutabrad]

At the hospital of course😂

[@W1LLDERBEAST]

“I’ve had lots of needles…..at the hospital, of course” made me proper chuckle. On the film choices, I’ve seen a couple but some of them I’d never consider watching. Films that aim to shock for the sake of it do nothing for me. I watched a video on KZbin about A Serbian film and it ran through the plot. That was enough for me. My life is no worse for not watching it. Good video 👍

[@WolfmansGotNards]

Haha! I had to be sure we were all on the same page!

[@jenniferlopez3554]

I watched IRREVERSIBLE several times with friends. This is harsh but sadly this movie shows a disgusting reality of this world 😢 This movie made Vincent Cassel an international celebrity because his international career started with it.

[@smudgejones9662]

Martyrs isn't as bad as you may think, give it a watch

[@sifatshams1113]

As a guy who's seen all 10 films, I would say that ALL of them are worth watching at least once, but that Grotesque and August Underground, while fun, have the least amount of story or substance. The other 8 are all HIGHLY recommended by me.

[@davidjames9934]

All movies to avoid really. One movie supposably good is Martyrs, however not for me. Maybe why it got a remake. Like you Barry was once upon a time curious, but no longer care for this. Also don’t think you’d ever find these on Netflix, which may be a good litmus test. Was once into the Japanese horror scene, which many were extreme. Takashi Miike films were good but hectic. Audition falls in that, so maybe 2 movies that could be considered good. But too extreme for most, and myself included.

[@HorrorMetalMaestroRedrusty66]

Mother is Great, Grow some grapes mate. Agree about Anti-C, Serbian was most certainly a one time watch, I should have known better but I did it anyway to my own dismay, but at least it gave me the right to judge it lol. (The rant on legalities and such, regarding a film you've never seen is a bit much, the themes are brutal but they are from real life which makes your wish to see a denial of the way the world can be a bit blind. Not to mention, worse stuff happens in real life even as bad as it is in the film.) Agree with Martyrs, never dared it due to the themes. Never heard of Irreversible, no interest in Audition either considering the clips I've seen. Frontier(s) was another I wish I had not watched. AWWW mate, DEADGIRL is awesome, it's not near as bad as you've convinced yourself, it's very tame compared to everything else on this list. Grotesque is of no interest. August I am interested in seeing, though I might regret it, but I have no fear of it, just hard to find. Of them all, I'd seriosuly recommend Mother and DEADGIRL. The rest are pretty much too much on this level or that level.

[@jenniferlopez3554]

I watched IRREVERSIBLE several times with friends. This is harsh but sadly this movie shows a disgusting reality of this world 😢 This movie made Vincent Cassel an international celebrity because his international career started with it. French movie by NOÉ and I must say this movie is haunting and very disturbing. Monica Bellucci did a great work and I think the movie wouldn’t have been so good without her. She made the movie indeed

[@jonbates8667]

Having seen all these I feel their reputation is bigger than the movie itself. Martyrs for instance I will never watch again but did its job so well BUT there is a British horror called Mum & Dad. How that film was green lit let alone passed the BBFC is beyond belief. Utterly horrific

[@WolfmansGotNards]

I remember this one, vaguely. Maybe I shouldn't revisit it!

[@Jaelien01]

A Serbian Film was my threshold.

[@andydiana]

Barry what is your thoughts on the original ‘Last house on the left’ ? The prolonged rape scene makes me hate the film, but strangely enough characters been murdered doesn’t bother me the same. Also I’m not keen on the original ‘The hills have eyes’ & ‘I spit on your grave’ (original version) for the rape scenes, stick to horror rather than rape!

[@WolfmansGotNards]

I feel like if the revenge scenes are amazing, the movie as a whole is worth it. This is why I prefer the remakes to The Last House on the Left and I Spit On Your Grave.

[@johnhunter2782]

I've seen all 10 and would recommend Antichrist, Audition, Martyrs, Mother and Frontiere as being more than just the disturbing scenes. Murder Set Pieces is the most disturbing I've seen. Do you have lettrbox?

[@WolfmansGotNards]

I do have Lettrbox. 😎

[@christopheliglet3621]

martyrs and frontier(s) are brutal and so is irreversible but I must say it's even better if you speak french , the subs aren't doing em justice. I love em but yes it's disturbing as fuck

[@Joemama55122]

I've seen all of them lmao Morbid curiosity

[@WolfmansGotNards]

Nothing wrong with being curious haha.

[@CosmicKingGeorge]

Hi Barry 👋. I love 80s horror and slasher movies. Some horror movies like this list and films like it bother me, which is why I choose not to watch them. Disturbs me. Have a good day ☀️.

[@WheelChairwayToHeaven]

Irreversible, Martyrs, Audition, and Antichrist are all good movies. I've seen Antichrist more than once, it's a beautiful film. Hadn't heard of the other flicks except the one people always warn you not to watch. I heard Salo is pretty bad too. They can't be much worse than the first 5 minutes of Trauma. Yeesh. I miss the person i was before i tried watching that one

[@Rorschach--hm3dk]

The August Underground films are terrible. Decent effects. Mordum is the worst in disturbing terms.

[@gedvalente9092]

I haven't seen any of the movies on this list bar one, and for the same reasons that you give. I feel that they sensationalise the violence and gore and this just makes them exploitative and base. The exception is Mother. I went to see it because I liked the concept being explored. The baby scene is disturbing, but it is like, the rest of the film, a symbolic journey through the Old and New Testaments of the Bible, seen through the lens of human greed and folly. The baby scene us clearly not supposed to be taken literally.

[@jainwaldron827]

Watched Serbian. It is awful

[@markhauxwell1230]

Apparently the point in a Serbian film is the director trying to express about censorship in Serbia 🤔

[@WolfmansGotNards]

yikes!

[@HamaChanCutter]

Trauma (2017) pretty much gives ASF a run for its money!!

[@EricKinnie]

Of all these I would recommend thinking about trying Mother. There is a significant plot, a lot of symbolism, and it’s very fantastical and not that realistic. The baby scene is a metaphor and not graphic or realistic in my opinion. Think of the title as “Mother Earth” and it becomes much easier to stomach. Shame to lump that one in with the rest of these.

[@WolfmansGotNards]

I did say that it's apparently not the worst. That's why I got that out the way first 😂.

[@Ripley_Ellen]

I think you would be fine watching most of them. The only one I've seen that I regret seeing was A Serbian Film only because it was so distasteful and unsettling that I felt like I needed a shower after watching it. Everything else is doable.

[@WolfmansGotNards]

I just can't bring myself to them. Mother! might be the only one I'd venture into.

[@richardthewalkingboom2731]

I've seen them all and I have a right to not criticise them or not

[@WolfmansGotNards]

What do you mean?

[@ryandowning9396]

A Serbian film is actually good 👍

[@krissymarklewis1793]

Oh, has anyone mentioned the Sadness?

[@martinlarrivee5081]

With all due respect, I do understand that you don't want to watch these movies, but having strong opinions about whether a film shouldn't exist or if the violence is gratuitous or pointless becomes automatically invalid.

[@WolfmansGotNards]

With all due respect, having read the parental guide and other reviews, I think it's safe to say I know enough.

[@opethmike]

Honestly, Martyrs isn’t that bad. Borderline boring, honestly.

[@echedp8903]

A Serbian film is kind of the JAWS of disturbing films. There are a LOT of disturbing themes in it, but it shows everything on the lesser side, making the viewer billed it up in their mind. As such, it's a lot more disturbing in idea then in how it actually is. Mother is a solid movie if you like art house stuff. Martyrs is a VERY well acted and VERY well made movie. The 'skinning' scene you are concerned about is off screen, but you do see the after math in a lot of detail. I think theme wise and statement wise the movie couldn't work without the violence. Dead Girl is a well made film that is really just supposed to be a commentary on male stereotypes going to extreme evils. The movie hates the male stereotype and is a take down of it by having them do just the worst possible things. I can understand people not liking it and it does go farther then a lot of the other films on here, but it's still a well done film and I wouldn't call it pointless violence by any means. Audition is an amazing horror film and you would love it if you saw it, I can tell you that much.

[@kingdio]

At the end of the day they are just films I've seen then all they didn't bother me

[@Outlaw-of2lt]

Coffin baby is one of the worst

[@JibberJabberPodcast]

You've defo watched some of these! 😋

[@WolfmansGotNards]

Absolutely not! I'm a distinguished gentleman.

[@czguy3045]

Hrmm... I know we all have our limits and there's nothing wrong with that but I'm glad there are other voices talking about horror on KZbin. I mean, these are just movies. I don't think that any of the creators are suggesting for these things to happen in real life. Literally half of these... are very good movies. I would say Grotesque was pretty forgettable. August Underground will definitely be divisive. A Serbian Film was... yeah, I can see how a lot of folks won't love that but I do think it was made with love. The rest of them... definitely worth a watch for many.

[@WolfmansGotNards]

I'm definitely not telling people to think like me and avoid them. I'm actually intrigued by what people think of movies I won't watch. I'm sure there's some I've watched that other will not.

[@YoursTruly-d6r]

I also hate needles.

[@krissymarklewis1793]

Mother wasn't too bad apart from one scene but Antichrist is just horrible, its a well make movies but has scene that made even me wince. The whole thing is dark and depressing.

[@krissymarklewis1793]

I actually reccomend Martyrs, Audition and a Serbian film as at least they have some remit to them, Stuff like I spit on your grave 3 (the remake sequel)is one of the worst I've watched as it's just horrid and mean spirited all the way through and I just wanted it to end.

[@brendandrislane4560]

Wow Human Centipede didn't make his list. These movies must be really bad. I saw Martyrs, which was great, and I thought Human Centipede was much worse than that, but whatever.

[@WolfmansGotNards]

I watched The Human Centipede. It was tame.

[@danielrubinstein896]

[@danielrubinstein896]

@WolfmansGotNards yes but the story is so heartbreaking

[@Olegrung]

I'd you've not seen frontiers, you're seriously missing out. Like a modern version of the Texas chain saw massacre. But the rest you're probably better off not watching 😅

[@WolfmansGotNards]

I'm hearing nothing but great things from it!

[@johnrapp1116]

If you were going to watch one of these - Martyrs is the best made and is actually the most interesting storyline. And how often is a horror movie actually interesting, plot wise? Highly recommended. I would put Audition right behind (although - yep, needles). I don’t think any of these are just pure story-less torture porn with the exception of Grotesque. The August Underground movies are vile, but they aren’t going to shock nearly as much as 25 years ago, that’s for sure. A Serbian Film is so purposefully awful that on second watch it very nearly approaches black comedy, honestly. Antichrist is a chore but that’s because I think all Lars Von Trier movies are. Overthinking and acting the shit out of everything far worse than the shock and gore. Frontiers is grueling and intense in that French extreme cinema way, but I don’t think it’s any worse than what you’ve seen. But here’s the other thing - the horror community is a broad welcoming one, and has all sorts of fans you would never picture. Part of being welcoming is respecting other people’s boundaries. I appreciate yours and think you have some grit to put them out front.

[@WolfmansGotNards]

I'm glad people can get some sort of satisfaction (artistically) out of some of these movies. As I grow older, my taste in order changes, I suppose.

[@TheKrazyKajeevieShow]

Always listen to your gut and never watch what can effect your spirit. I refuse to watch Wolf Creek, Hostel, Conjuring, Paranormal Activity or anything really demonic. Jesus is King

I’ve seen a few of these & never ever again . I watched A Serbian Film before I found out about what was in it & it still bothers me to this day . I’ve also seen Dead Girl , Antichrist , Martyrs (remake) , a lot of these films should not even exist but I’ve seen pretty similar / worse . Steer clear of Nekromantik , Cannibal Holocaust.. after 30 mins of Nekromantik I wanted to throw up smh 🤦🏻‍♀️

[@WolfmansGotNards]

I've seen Cannibal Holocaust. I felt The Green Inferno was more brutal! Still not seen either nekromantik movie.

[@travislauderbaugh1507]

I think the only one I've seen on this list is audition. It was a great film and really odd. A movie I'd probably never watch again is called megan is missing. A total dread. I'm more a classic video nasties kinda guy. BTW just noticed this channel has 100k now. Congrats barry!

Great list Barry I've seen a bunch of those films but some I don't care to watch.
