The relationship between a psychopath kid and his mother, the grim atmosphere and majestic direction will keep you with bated breath without any graphic scene or display of violence |
| 51 |  | Spiritual Front
Amour Braque
CAT SICK BLUES
This is actually pretty funny for it's absurdity. A deranged guy disguise himself as a cat complete with huge cat dick strap on and kills 9 women in order to resurrect his dead cat. What makes it so disturbing is the weord atmosphere, the cynical depiction of how society relates with victims of abuse and a surprisingly sad ending |
| 50 |  | Frightmare
Bringing Back The Bloodshed
THE TEXAS CHAINSAW MASSACRE
I always found the raw direction and filthy atmosphere of this horror cult pretty unnerving |

| 44 |  | Blue Oyster Cult

This is probably the godfather of shock movies, Tod Browning hired real deformed people for his surreal cult. Angry mobs forced Browning to burn the original ending tapes. People were pretty susceptible in the 30's. |
| 43 |  | Old Man Gloom
Christmas
FUNNY GAMES
Two young boys having fun abusing phisically and psychologically a family with their not so funny games. The movie breaks the fourth wall multiple times alluding to the viewer's voyeurism |
| 42 |  | Depressive age
Lying in Wait
KEN PARK
If you think that Harmony Korine's most disturbing movie was Gummo you should (or maybe not) check this one. A Rough and cynical depiction of discomfortable families involved with incest, abuse and mental illness.
The deranged guy abusing his grandparents and his dog really pissed me off |
| 41 |  | Buzzov-en
Sore
VISCERAL
A boxer who likes to kidnap and kill people. Nothing more. No plot or virtuosism, just a bad movie with truly sick scenes. |
| 40 |  | Warning
Watching from a Distance
AUDITION
Aaaaah, Miike. You're such a deranged genius. This is basically 3/4 a romantic movie that flows into something you don't really want to be involved with. |
| 39 |  | Dystopia
Human = Garbage
GUINEA PIG SAGA
A japanese experimental saga displaying fake snuff movies. While the effects are truly believable there's no shadow of plot, social criticism or any other good quality |
| 38 |  | Metallica
...And Justice for All
JOHNNY GOT HIS GUN
Trumbo's adaptation that inspired Metallica's one. The depressive story of a soldier that found himself limbless, dumb, deaf and blind. Let alone with his solitude and neglected by his country. |

| 36 |  | The Caretaker
A Stairway To The Stars
SUBCONSCIOUS CRUELTY
Ehhh, i...don't know how to describe it. A collage of weird dream like scenes woth some people literally fucking the earth, a weird incest with an eye coming out of her stomach and other stuff. Oh yes, there's a violent sex scenes with our friend Jesus. |
| 35 |  | Cannibal Corpse
Butchered at Birth
INSIDE
An home invasion about a woman that tries to kill a pregnant girl in order to take his baby. |
| 34 |  | Today is the day

I STAND ALONE
Gaspar Noe directs a cynical, realistic and raw depiction of solitude, neglection of a man abandoned by society slowing turning into a monster. |
| 33 |  | Dir en grey
Vulgar
IMPRINT
Miike's episode of masters of horror is maybe one of the sickest stuff ever sired on tv. That torture scene is something terrible. |
| 32 |  | Nurse With Wound
Chance Meeting On A Dissecting Table Of A Sewing Machine And An Umbrella
LAST HOUSE ON THE LEFT
Wes Craven's (R.i.p.) controversial revenge story contains one of the most graphic and realistic rape scenes ever, pretty tough stuff. |
| 31 |  | Bloodbath
Nightmares Made Flesh
UNTOLD STORY
A real story about a man that killed a friend for a debt and stole his restaurand making dumplings with human flesh. If it wasn't for many weird humoristic scenes this would be a lot higher. |
| 30 |  | White Noise
An Electric Storm
PHILOSOPHY OF A KNIFE
A 4 hour reconstruction of unit 731 experiments on prisoners. It would be higher if it wasn't for some pretty funny practical effects, the fact that this stuff truly happened is pretty fucked up though |
| 29 |  | Lingua Ignota
Caligula
THREADS
This ucronistic movie shows the most realistic depiction of an hypotetical nuclear war i've ever watched |
| 28 |  | Butthole Surfers
Locust Abortion Technician
ATROZ
While plagued by a totally ridiculous ending, this movie shows some sick imagery, like a pov torture and homicide and an abused kid turning insane forcing his mother to violate his father with a strap-on. Oh and the camera is set on the dildo... |
| 27 |  | Swans
Filth
DOGTOOTH
Lanthimos debut shows a surreal yet uncomfortable family situation that unnervingly delivers feelings of claustrophobia and desperation |
| 26 |  | Throbbing Gristle
The First Annual Report
MEGAN IS MISSING
A giant warning about the wrong use of social network, the first part shows pretty sad depiction of blank kids doing trendy stuff while neglected by the parents, then when one of the two protagonists disappears the movie falls into a downward spiral through one of the most disturbing ending sequences ever. While i appreciate the message delivered by the director and the modern take of the direction, the movie is plagued by a pretty bad acting. |
| 25 |  | Nine Inch Nails
The Fragile
COME AND SEE
War through the eyes of a kid that watches his life falling apart. One of the most hopeless and devastating war movies ever. |
| 24 |  | The Body
I Shall Die Here
TUMBLING DOLL OF FLESH
Just a sick disgusting snuff simulation. Pretty realistic, what makes it so disturbing is that some people may find it entertaining. Pure garbage. |
| 23 |  | Rammstein
Mutter
LILJA 4 EVER
A depressive depiction of poverty through the eyes of a girl whose dreams are broken |
| 22 |  | Coroner
Grin
THE GREEN ELEPHANT
The whole movie is roughly shot inside a green dirty room with even dirtier characters. I don't recommend anyone to watch it, this stuff really makes you feel soiled. |
| 21 |  | Begotten (CAN)
A Waning Silhouette
BEGOTTEN
A twisted version of biblical genesis represented with disturbing black and white nightmare fuel imagery. I'm sure you saw on the internet some parts of it by users that claimed that it was some deep web stuff |
| 20 |  | Stalaggh
Projekt Terror
WHERE THE DEAD GO TO DIE
The most degenerate animated movie ever. The whole films looks like a bad old video game cutscene on acid
It's divided in three acts with stories about an evil dog abusing a retarded kid, a guy who sucks liquid memlries frkm dying people and a deformed kid falling in love with a little girl abused by his father. The fact that the animation is so bad is maybe the only way they could make a film like this. |
| 19 |  | Destruction
The Antichrist
ANTICHRIST
Willem Dafoe and Charlotte Gainsbourg isolate themselves insode a cabin in the woods after their son's death. Little by little they sink into a spiral of madness. Von Trier delivers a surreal and aesthetic horror drama with beautiful and twisted imagery. The eviration scene will stuck inside of you forever |
| 18 |  | Soundtrack (Film)
Pink Flamingos
PINK FLAMINGOS
a...comedy i guess, by John Water, the lord of trash. Two families fight each other for the dirtiest people alive award. The movie contains grotesque scenes like a threesome involving a chicken, a guy singing with his butt, people licking every bit of their enemies house, a fat woman who loves eggs and the infamous scenes woth Divine, the transexual icon, eating dog poop |
| 17 |  | Deftones
White Pony
THE BUNNY GAME
The most annoying movie ever. The unnerving loud soundtrack matched with fast shot scenes makes it almost unbearable. The "story" is about a prostitute kidnapped by a truck driver that tortures her, humiliates her and makes her play twisted sadistic games. The actress decided to partecipate in this movie because she truly suffered from similar abuses. Fun fact: the actress is Rodleen Getsic, the girl which sings the vocal solo on Deftones Knife prty. |
| 16 |  | Whitehouse
Mummy and Daddy
VISITOR Q
Again Takaashi Miike makes the list. I swear this is the blackest comedy ever made. In some scenes i laughed and then i felt guilty for it. The movie combines twisted humor, satire about middle class families and some of the most fucked up moments ever shot. |
| 15 |  | Pig Destroyer
Prowler in the Yard
POUGHKEEPSIE TAPES
This mockumentary is one of the scariest and most uncomfortable movies i've ever watched. The tapes are so realistic that may be confused for real stuff, leaving you the feeling of being contantly watched. The way the killer turns his victims in devoted slave is utterly disgusting and realistic. |
| 14 |  | Impaled
Mondo Medicale
VOMIT GORE TRILOGY
Actually more disgusting than disturbing
Wanna know about the plot? Well, me too and i saw all the "movies".
Just a collage of disgusting scenes involving puke, tortures,sewings, spiders, fake siamese twins, blood, gore and the worst fetishes possible. The most disturbing part is that the director probably thinks this is art or either he masturbates to that stuff. |
| 13 |  | Cows
Effete And Impudent Snobs
MELANCHOLIE DER ENGEL
Another disgusting movie about a rich terminal man that wants to purge his perversions before he dies. The movie is just a bunch of depravation, animal cruelty and abuses. There's a scene involving a disabled woman that would make anyone look away. I don't recommend it to anyone, just pretentious bullshit. |
| 12 |  | Daughters
You Won't Get What You Want
THE GIRL NEXT DOOR
The true story about a young girl tortured by her cousins and her abusive aunt. You'll feel sorry for her throughout the whole film and hope that the worst fate possible will strike the aunt. Really though. |
| 11 |  | Clint Mansell and Kronos Quartet
Requiem for a Dream
REQUIEM FOR A DREAM
I know this may seems to high but i feel this movie is more disturbing than most of these without showing a single violent scene. Reflecting on loneliness, broken dreams, addiction and depression, Aronowski delivered one of the most powerful movies to date. |
| 10 |  | David Lynch
Eraserhead OST
ERASERHEAD
Lynch debut with a subconscious nightmare that will make you question your own sanity. The increasing baby cries, the absurd surreal scenes, the claustrophobic ambience, the oppressing black and white. All about this movie delivers pure insanity. Just think about Kubrick making watch this movie to the actors every day to make them uncomfortable. |
| 9 |  | Gnaw Their Tongues
Spit at me and Wreak Havoc on my Flesh
AUGUST UNDERGROUND TRILOGY
The most realistic snuff simulstions ever. Just violence, screams, tortures, depravity and zero art. Pure dirty sick garbage |
| 8 |  | Thomas Bangalter
Irréversible (Original Soundtrack)
IRREVERSIBLE
Noè's surreal cult tells a story backwards about a vengeful man searching for his wife's killer. The movie contains the longest and most disturbing rape scene ever recorded in any movie. The extinguisher beating is one of the most realistic gore moment i've ever saw. The direction is majesticly unnerving abd Bangalter's soundtrack contains bineural bitz capable of instilling nausea in theater viewers. |
| 7 |  | Gentle Giant
Acquiring the Taste
THE HUMAN CENTIPEDE 2
The first was nothing special, the third is a triumph of trash, the second is one of the sickest stuff ever made. The black and white, the creepy protagonist, the soiled atmosphere. All this elements combined to rough violence, secretions and madness contributes to create one of the most disturbing movies ever. |
| 6 |  | Godflesh
Streetcleaner
CRAZY MURDER
A guerrilla movie about a crazy homeless doing weird stuff such as eating dirty stitches and condoms, puttinh shit inside his wounds, castrating himself and killing random people. That's it. No more, no less. Why does it even exists? |
| 5 |  | Slayer
World Painted Blood
MEN BEHIND THE SUN
An accurate deliction of the atrocities committed by the japanes during ww2. The infamous real autopsy and cat throwed into rabid rats contributed to makes it one of the most well known disturbing movies. Some experiments such as the ice one, the pressure ant the one with birds will make you despise mankind. Those people never compensated victim's families. |
| 4 |  | Seppuku Paradigm
Martyrs OST
MARTYRS
One of my favorites horror ever. The movie completely changes way in the second half, becoming onr of the darkest stories ever written. There's plenty of graphic violence but it's nothing compared to the psychological violence suffered both by the characters and the viewer. A deranged masterpiece. |
| 3 |  | Riz Ortolani
Cannibal Holocaust
CANNIBAL HOLOCAUST
The infamous cannibal movie that invented the found footage genre. The movie was controversial for many reasons: people really tought that actors died during the making of the movie, the carnal violence was really upsetting and the animal cruelty was real. |
| 2 |  | Sodom
Sodom
SALÓ OR THE 120 DAYS OF SODOM
Pasolini adapted and transformed into an anti-fascist satire the most depraved book ever written, just think about that sadism comes from the writer's name De Sade. This movie contains almost everything that's wrong in the world such as coprophilia, sadism, urophilia, tortyre, carnal violence and more. It's a never ending tour de force inside depravity. |
| 1 |  | Scorpions
Virgin Killer
A SERBIAN FILM
The first disturbing movie i've ever seen and the one that stuck with me the most. The fact that it becomes so sick just in the second half makes it even worse for you're not expecting such things. The infamous birth scene is not even the worst part of it. The social commentary about Serbia's government flows into the darkest depths of human depravity. I don't recommend it to anyone who's not aware of what's inside this movie. |
