[Film] What's the scariest / most disturbing film, you've ever seen?

[Capricorn]

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.

Fair point. While not an excuse because I tend to agree with what you've said here but I didn't actually know the -extent- of the disgusting nature of the themes and scenes in the movie. I tend not to look up the content of a movie before I watch it. All I really knew going into it was that it was supposedly one of the most controversial films made. That was enough to perk my curiosity - which as you suggest I probably should have avoided or reasoned out and actually found out what the content of the film entailed. I reserve the right to be shocked and wish I hadn't watched it though.

The original "The Wicker Man". (1973) Not necessarily scary but disturbing in an open mouthed can't quite believe what I'm watching kind of way which was how I felt the first time I watched it. A kind of horror come musical complete with a transvestite Christopher Lee and also a topless Britt Ekland and who can forget the gyrating naked from behind Britt Ekland body double.

A body double was secretly used for the naked rear shots and were filmed after Britt Ekland had left the set. The body double was used because Ekland would only agree to topless shots of her body. After shooting was over Ekland furious to learn she had been doubled in some shots. Director Robin Hardy says Ekland herself did not want her bottom to be filmed, as she did not like it.

Here's a taster:

As an adult I don't find horror films scary except for the first time I watched the first Paranormal Activity. The sequels are rubbish but the first one got me. I think it's the amount of time you spend looking at a scene where nothing happens and then all of a sudden something quick and creepy happens.

Same for me. All my mates who have watched it think I am a wimp but it really got me. Scared of the dark for days after.
