Oh also, if you find anything dark or disturbing about Texas Chainsaw Massacre, then I'm shocked. Every inch of that series is laughable and ridiculous.

I wanted to answer to "Imisssmysky", who posted this comment in an unappropriate thread. So, I created a movie-related thread.

The First Texas Chainsaw Massacre is disturbing, if you really found it laughable, it means you've got an incredibly twisted mind. There is no mutilation in this movie. It's a documentaire-like movie, raw, dirty, as funny as the "funeral March" of Chopin. Of course, you'd better watch it, obviously, you didin't.

Tori's Favorite film is Peter Greenaway's "The Cook, The Thief, His Wife & Her Lover". It's a cruel, and disturbing movie. I recommand it to you.

Don't you think that there something really Lynchesque about Smokey Joe?

What are you favorite movies?

Pretty much.

The only section of the (original) film that I thought verged on disturbing is the final dinner table scene and her escape, and the way she begins to mimic the manic laugh towards the end.

The rest of the film hasn't aged well at all, in my opinion. And then the remake, which is just shockingly bad.

Like the nights when the Northern Lights perform.

I'm trying to think of films that I'd actually consider dark. I remember a scene in the Japanese movie "The Eye" (which sadly is getting an American remake.) with an elevator...

Here it is, but the youtube member has thrown in some random song (which kind of deters from the creepiness of the original cinematic piece) but you can appreciate the scene still.

I especially like the claustrophobic effect of the scene, and the way the feet almost touch. I just find that oddly cringe-inducing and shivering.

Now I know this is about films but the film adaptation wasn't as atmospheric as the source material so I'll hope you'll watch and enjoy this video. Akira is one of my favourite modern day composers.

Thanks underwaterthing! that exactly what I thought.

I think that my favourite dark movie is a french one : "La Cérémonie" by Claude Chabrol.

Here an english article about it:

A very cruel and unhealthy movie :)

the movie i've seen most recently was "the cement garden". now THAT was disturbing, but at the same time, very beautiful, which came from the way it was filmed and all. i hope it won't get banned in this group because madonna sampled it in "what it feels like for a girl" :D

the eye was a great movie indeed. you know what, if i hate something about horror movies it is um this "shocking effect" (i'm sure there's a better and more fashionable way to call it but whatever) you know, your victim walks in the dark or reads his/her book in his room, in complete silence and then this zombie or ghost or something appears all of a sudden... this is cheap i think, very cheap.

another thing i don't like is cutting people into pieces, eating their brains out etc... what's this, a horror movie or a surgery ? because it is just disgusting when that happens, not scary.

anyway, my favorite horror movie may be "may" (heh, reading what i said so far it's interesting i like this movie, isn't it?)

i like "silent hill" hill as well (it ends in a rather cheap, surrealistic way though)

If we're just going for pure disturbing and not horror...

Requiem for a Dream
Funny Games
Haute Tension (first 15min)
Schramm
Begotten

I've heard that Salo: 120 Days of Sodom is up there too but I haven't been able to find a copy.

Salo is one of my favorite movies ever. Pasolini is God.

You're right, funny games is dark and disturbing. Did you see the american remake (with Naomi watts ) or the originial movie?

And Haute Tension is excellent in its first hour. (the producer (who is a real assohle) wanted the movie to end that stupid way, the director had no choice, which is sad.

I've only seen the original but I want to see the remake. I love Naomi Watts and Tim Roth. Given the fact that it's the same writer/director, I expect it to be at least as good as the original. I don't think that it's been released yet but I'm not sure.

Yeah. I read an interview with him (I think it was when he was making Hills Have Eyes) where he pretty much disowned the film. He still sounded pissed about the ending. I can't wait for his Pirahna remake. I don't see how he can make it as intense as Haute Tension or even Hills but it should be entertaining.

Ok, it's a true and bloody horror movie. And it's dark.
It's called "Inside". It's a french movie.

Thethem, take a look at the trailer.

You can buy the dvd on Amazon

The soundtrack is stunning. Listen to some tracks on this page.

The Funny Games remake is definitely worth seeing.

Err...I don't know why there's a double post. If I edit one, it edits the other. >.<

I agree with Begotten, really twisted. And Eraserhead is awesome as well, maybe my favorite film ever.

I think Dancer In The Dark (Lars Von Trier, starring Bjork in one of the best acting performances ever) manages to contain both the most uplifiting and depressing scenes in a single film ever.

Sexbots unite.
