Did You Ever Find a Movie Too Disturbing to Watch?

It used to be free on Tubi and should be again but if you ever want to scare yourself ---


Canada's Most Haunted​

" Canada has a rich tradition of paranormal activity.. Beginning with British Columbia, we find the White Rock Players Club, a 100 year old playhouse that has more than its share of ghostly characters. The Four-Mile House, a restaurant that was once a bordello, where entities search out mischief and vengeance. The trip continues to Ontario, Nova Scotia and beyond.''

1989's Pet Sematary​

I watched it once, never again. Just freaked me out.

I didn't like Pet Semetary at all, so sI know what you mean. I knew I would never watch the sequel.

I couldn't watch Silence of the Lambs and stopped watching Kiil Bill way before midpoint. I also hate the excessive gore of many horror films these days, so don't watch them. I was never interested in movies like Saw and Halloween.

I found the first Pet Semetary very scary as that girl was terrifying .

I like scary but not bloody gore as that is just nasty not scary , not well written which is why SAW after 15 minutes had enough but did find first Halloween scary .
 
I've never found a movie too disturbing to watch, but I had to turn off the docuseries The Trials of Gabriel Fernandez. What the mother and the boyfriend did to that sweet little boy was unconscionable.
 
Was exposed to much rude and crudeness in the military during war and have lived decades since in a quite culturally liberal region. Early in my twenties learned to avoid contamination with experiences I don't need in my being, as in I flow away. With the rise of secks porn in legal media, I learned, I didn't liked my emotional core jerked around by those playing that game. So no it isn't that I am too disturbed having to watch at least limited amounts of some of whatever but rather, don't need to be polluted with foulness. Also haven't spent my adult life regularly watching tv, much less movies. No cable tv in over 20 years. Have other interests to occupy my life with.

That said, I do enjoy science fiction, enjoy Star Trek and Stargate, and movies like Forbidden Planet, Alien, Predator, The Thing, and enjoy the shocks.

Remakes aren't often good but loved The Thing from the beginning with the '' dog '' to the end .


 
I was very distressed by the film "The Virgin Spring". I was just a teen at the time and it haunted me for years afterward.

The Virgin Spring (Swedish: Jungfrukällan) is a 1960 Swedish film directed by Ingmar Bergman. Set in medieval Sweden, it is a tale about a father's merciless response to the rape and murder of his young daughter.
...

Isaksson and Bergman explored a number of themes in The Virgin Spring, questioning morals, vengeance, and religious beliefs. The rape scene was also subject to controversy and censorship in screenings in the United States.

Schindlers List was the last holocaust movie I've seen, where I vowed never to watch another. I also cannot stand movies about slavery or domestic violence. I've done so much reading and viewing on these subjects I don't feel a need to learn anything more about them.

I couldn't get past the first scene when the blood splattered on the snow. Since I knew all about the Holocaust I refused to watch it to its end.
 
o_OYes I have few very disturbing,and not just violence and killings. I have strong stomach,but somethings play on your mind more. I think graphics are over done...even if it really did happen. Sometimes should be left to the imagination. I can not watch any show that is graphic in molestation. The show 1923...could not handle the nun sexually abusing the young girl. Things like that Hit home for me. Blood and guts..yikes close me eyes.

The Exorcist was too much for me. I never saw the whole thing.

I read the book first. It was as bad as the movie. Maybe worse. It wrecked my sleep for at least a month, maybe two. The inevitable film came out less than a year after, and of course I had to see it. I went through the same sleepless nights all over again. Today it doesn't bother me at all. I can give it my full concentration without any ill effects.

I read the book first too. I just could not watch the movie. I haven't tried watching it in decades. Maybe I should try again. Who knows? It might seem funny to me now.
