I recently saw “Rampage” from 2009. Its basically a movie where a spree shooter is portrayed as the good guy/anti-hero. Several parts gave me that pit in your stomach, teeth gritting uncomfortable moment. I really hated it. Although I’m not surprised there are sequals I am disappointed and will not be watching them.

    All great recommendations here

    For a recent one I thought The Drama was quite tense and uncomfortable, worth a watch for sure.

    The Wolf of Wall Street. That movie gave me nightmares.

    At the risk of sounding prude, seeing so much excess and chaos crossed the line from being morbid to becoming genuinely unpleasant, like seeing drunks and drug addicts in real life. I hated DiCaprio’s character with a passion from start to finish, and that night after watching the movie, I had a nightmare where I was at one of those parties and they were abusing me and my friends.

    Knowing that it’s based on real events, that the guy DiCaprio plays is free, and that there are people who admire him even after seeing the movie makes me feel dejected.

      Yeah I fucking hate that movie. It feels like it made their horrendous behavior into a joke. None of it is funny in the context of reality. So glad to hear someone feels the same way about the movie.

    When I was a 13-year-old girl who didn’t know she was queer I watched The House Bunny at my friend’s sleepover birthday party and ran out of the room crying because it confirmed all my fears about young adulthood.

      Hard Candy is commonly featured on horror lists. If we get a bit technical it’s more of a suspense thriller, but then the more technical we get about genres the less they actually make sense as separate categories and the entire phylogeny falls apart.

    1 hour photo.

    the scene where Robin Williams has broken into their house and is shitting on their toilet was just too fucked up for me and I turned it off. never finished it.

    Detachment. It’s a story about a substitute school teacher. It’s fucking glum. Good movie but ugh.

    Using Adrian Brody as a segue, the Pianist, and Schindler’s List. WWII stuff gets under the skin, especially as of late.

    For an entirely different direction - Velocipastor. It’s funny and absurd, but golly B movies make me cringe. I think there were a few parts that made me cringe myself inside out.

    the skin i live in(2011) is extremely upsetting, and i’m not sure I would call it horror, although it would be pretty easy to make the argument for horrifying.
