I've not spoken to anyone who's seen it and not been repulsed. If I could unwatch it I would. No artistic merit at all.

Yeah definitely Threads. My mum let me watch it as a 10 year old kid (with all best intentions, she'd read it was "important and educating") and it totally terrified me. Not surprising really seeing as loads of people cite it as the scariest film ever made! The good thing is that nothing I've watched since has really scared me at all. Hollywood "horror" films while entertaining can't come close to the terror of seeing something that you know could actually happen. I don't suppose Threads would be particularly scary nowadays but given the political situation at the time.......
Irreversible isn't scary but it's certainly disturbing and I thought unnecessarily so. Could have been a really good film but was over the top with the nastiness particularly in "that scene".

The Vanishing. The Dutch film from 1988, with subtitles - I haven't seen the 1993 version with Kiefer Sutherland and Sandra Bullock.
I saw it many, many years ago. It still gives me goosebumps when I think about it now.

Oh come on, you and the other posters who have watched it must have known what it was about, so dont watch it and then play the shocked, wish you hadn't card.
One look at the Wiki write up on it and I knew it wasn't a film I needed to see as I have no need to satisfy any perverted, voyeuristic, curiosity.

I'd never heard of it prior to reading this. I have just looked on Wiki, and you are right - it is not something I will ever feel the need to see. Those who have watched it MUST have known what they were letting themselves in for.
Not at all. Before watching it I hadn't heard of the film at all. I watched it purely because someone I know who enjoys horror films had suggested it.

Never watch anything they suggest again...
Very good suggestion that!

There is a busker in the underpass at Ovingdean at St. Dunstans roundabout during the summer months. He sits and plays a keyboard - sounds like the sorts of tunes you'd hear at old fairground rides.
He sits and plays even if there is no one around.
When you approach, he looks at you out of the corner of his eye, and it is genuinely disturbing. He is SO Stephen King. I always expect him to give me a baloon.

Another vote for dead man's shoes. Very unnerving

What a strange response...... Anyhow, I found Wolf Creek quite unsettling.

Good shout too. Downright weird and first watched it as a teen and freaked me out.

So this someone recommended it to you, without any mention of a scene of baby rape? Wow!
