We all love the goosebumps we get from watching horror films. However, some are so horrific that they may do more than just give you an adrenaline rush. Here are the twelve most disturbing films critics of an online forum say will stay with you.
1. Human Centipede 2 (2011): Tom’s Six’s Vile Masterpiece
If the first installment wasn’t enough to make one’s skin crawl, the sequel kicks it up several notches. One user shares that black and white cinematography sets the tone from the beginning, giving the whole film a creepy and unsettling feel. The main character, portrayed disconcertingly, embodies a nightmare you can’t escape.
2. Precious (2009): A Gut-Wrenching Journey
“Watch it once and never again,” comments one. From the beginning, you are drawn into the life of Precious, a young woman struggling to overcome unimaginable adversity. It leaves a lasting imprint on your heart, a reminder of the strength of the human spirit amid seemingly insurmountable challenges.
3. Happiness (1998): An Unsettling Exploration
Some movies are so unsettling that you can’t bear to finish them, and this one is undeniably one of them. Todd Solondz’s dark exploration of the human psyche takes viewers on an uncomfortable journey through the lives of several troubled characters. The film leaves you grappling with unease and questioning the storyteller’s intention.
4. Vivarium (2019): A Conceptual Dissapointemnt
The film starts with an intriguing premise — a couple trapped in a seemingly endless suburban nightmare – but the novelty wears off as it progresses and becomes an insufferable watch. Unfortunately, the movie’s cool concept fails to save it from a meandering plot and sluggish pacing.
5. One Hour Photo (2002): Unnerving Brilliance of Robin Williams
When you think of Robin Williams, you may recall his comedic brilliance and heartwarming performances. However, this film shows a different side of the talented actor — an unsettling and uncomfortable one. William’s portrayal of a disturbed photo technician is a masterclass in subtle creepiness.
6. AntiChrist (2009): A Disconcerting Experience
This is not one for the faint of heart. Lars Von Trier’s exploration of trauma and the intersection of religion and nature is deeply unsettling on many levels. Viewers will likely struggle to sleep after experiencing this intense and psychologically haunting movie.
7. Eden Lake (2008): A Terrifying Impact
There are horror films that scare you, then there are ones that haunt you for months. One user shared that after watching it, they stopped watching horror films for six months. Its relentless and visceral portrayal of violence and terror is enough to unsettle even the most seasoned horror fans.
8. The Road (2009): An Overwhelming Sense of Desolation
Cormac McCarthy’s post-apocalyptic novel, The Road, was already a harrowing tale, but the film adaptation amplifies the feeling of desolation to a whole new level. The story follows a father and son navigating a ravaged world for hope and safety. However, the journey is full of despair, scarcity, and relentless danger.
9. The Hills Have Eyes (1977): A Horrifying Experience
This one permanently marks your psyche, instilling fear and discomfort with every suspenseful scene. The sense of horror is not easily forgotten, ensuring that the film’s disturbing images stay with you long after the credits have rolled.
10. Sibyl (1976): A Haunting Memory
The psychological thriller, revolving around the unstable life of a writer, haunts audiences with its unsettling atmosphere and twisted narrative. It leaves viewers with more questions than answers, and the lingering ambiguity creates a haunting memory that refuses to fade away.
11. The Day After (1983): A Bleak Vision of the Future
Decades may have passed since its release, but it remains a chilling and bleak portrayal of a nuclear apocalypse. When it first aired, many thought it would be a typical 80’s TV movie, but it quickly shattered those expectations. The film is a rollercoaster of emotions, navigating through the darkest corners of human existence and violence.
12. Hostel (2005): A Terrifying Glimpse into Human Nature
“It opened my eyes to real human nature and depravity.” The disturbing realization that such dark practices might exist in reality is enough to keep audiences awake at night. While it may be a horror movie, its underlying message about the darkest corners of human nature is what truly makes it haunting.
