The original Funny Games is really hard watching and pretty menacing. The re make looks like it has been dumbed down- but only guessing from the trailer.

Dark, disturbing but great films

Not the JPF ..splitters !
Totaaly agree , I was nowhere near prepared for the amount of violence in that scene. Utterly utterly disturbing.
I also found the humiliation scenes in the woods from the original Last House on the Left hard to watch as well.

And it's all gone quiet..
I watched 'Perfume: The Story of a Murderer' the other day. Cracking film. The whole murdering thing came as a surprise to me though because I didn't know what the film was called until it finished

I just rented Eden Lake without knowing anything about it because there wasn't much to rent in the shop. I absolutely loved it even though it's exceptionally gruesome!
It's a good film but the concept is nightmarish.

Might have to give it a watch. From the trailer, it reminds me of one of the scenes from Clockwork Orange.

Agree with some of the above that I have seen. In particular:
Don't look Now - the only film that has ever kept me awake at night.
Sophie's Choice - shattering ending.
Seven - Kevin Spacey chillingly brilliant
And to add one that I don't think has been mentioned - the original Swedish version of "The Girl with the Dragon tattoo". Brilliant story - far-fetched but strangely believable. great and complex characters and superbly made.

Strongly recommend "We need to talk about Kevin". Dark, dark storyline and Tilda Swinton acts her bloomin' socks off.

A rather unusual Lesbian Love story.(made by film 4 I think)

That film got me too, Christ probably one of the worst films I've seen. Like the way it was filmed though.
