Most disturbing film

[MinionZombie]

I must see 13 Assassins at some point, and yes Lou, I have seen Ichi The Killer - it's pretty mental, alright.

[AcesandEights]

I've had Ichi the Killer queued forever and I just don't know if I'll like it. I'm more of a violence/gore as a means, as opposed to a message sort of film-goer, so I don't think I'd enjoy or appreciate a lot of the films discussed herein.

I must see 13 Assassins at some point, and yes Lou, I have seen Ichi The Killer - it's pretty mental, alright. Yes it was... I think "mental" is almost an understatement! Oh, and clang - I have 'Audition' at home, and have had it for over a year, but haven't watched it yet. I'm sort of afraid of what's in it, just based on "Imprint" and "Ichi" - I can't IMAGINE wtf this nut case did in Audition 'cause I've heard it's a lot more fucked up so-to-speak and Imprint & Ichi... *shudders*

Id quite like to the serbian film and yeah ive read up on it on wiki. Its been quite a long time since i was shocked or genuinely disturbed by a movie.

[Tricky]

That ones pretty disturbing too, I caught it on TV late one night a few years ago & it left me feeling a bit grim

[kidgloves]

A Serbian Film is actually a very well made movie and quite good. Yes the content is sick but its too easy to get sidetracked and offended by certain scenes and ignore the rest of the movie. Its a visual and audio bombardment as well.

The one that dissapointed me the most was August Underground. The effect were good, but it ws laughably bad in parts

There's little in 'Audition' that you wouldn't have seen before. However...and I say this as someone who isn't really a fan of Asian horror...it suffers from the same drawback that most Asian horror films do, bad pacing. I gave up on Asian horror years ago because I'd noticed that, in the one's that I'd watched anyway, nothing was happening for about an hour and then in the last third, there was a few shock moments. It can be a crushingly boring format. 'Ring' was especially guilty of that. Utterly tedious film. That said, I did enjoy 'Audition' for what it was and it's probably one of the better crop of the original J-Horror films.

[MinionZombie]

Yeah - Audition wasn't the wince-inducing experience I was led to believe it was, and I agree with Shoot - the pacing is loooooooooooooooooooooooong. For the most part it's like a melodrama about a lonely father looking for love, and then at the end it gets creepier until the blow out scene for which the film is most famous. That scene is a good scene, but it is prefaced by a lot of stuff that's as if from a totally different genre ... there's a long old wait for the well known bit to happen.

[blind2d]

Oh hey, I just thought of some! Or one. Um, an animated movie called 'When the Wind Blows' or some such. I mean it's sweet and sad, but... disturbing too if you think about it. '1984' was a good movie, but the book's more engaging... Oh, 'A Clockwork Orange', maybe. ...Maybe.

[LouCipherr]

Ah, relax Lou. There's little in 'Audition' that you wouldn't have seen before. Hmmm, well, in that case perhaps I should dive in and see what it's all about. It was just one of those cases that you "hear things" about it, then after seeing Imprint & Ichi, I thought, "do I really want to watch Audition? Am I that much of a glutton for punishment?" However...and I say this as someone who isn't really a fan of Asian horror...it suffers from the same drawback that most Asian horror films do, bad pacing. I gave up on Asian horror years ago because I'd noticed that, in the one's that I'd watched anyway, nothing was happening for about an hour and then in the last third, there was a few shock moments. It can be a crushingly boring format. 'Ring' was especially guilty of that. Utterly tedious film. Yay! I'm not alone! I never got that much into Asian horror myself. I've seen a few, but most of them are just "meh" - the Ring was exactly like you stated: tedious to watch. Yeah - Audition wasn't the wince-inducing experience I was led to believe it was, and I agree with Shoot - the pacing is loooooooooooooooooooooooong. Hmmm, why do I have the feeling now you guys are setting me up for something I'll be sorry I watched?

[AfterMovieDiner]

I don't like torture porn as it has no real plot, characters you don't care about and generally an absence of talent and point involved so I won't be rushing out to watch any of them any time soon. The only films that really disturb me are remakes and anything featuring Justin Beiber or any other flash-in-the-pan tweenlette who should be in school and not singing about stuff they haven't experienced yet. Oh and I saw a trailer for that new film New Year's Eve (from the makers of Valentine's Day) and didn't stop throwing up.

[MinionZombie]

hehe, well, I'm mostly glad I watched it ... I'm not fussed either way I guess, but now that I've seen it I can say I've seen it ... it's kind of like "you haven't seen Audition?!", but now I have so you don't have to have that. It's interesting to watch and there are some excellent parts to it, but it is very slow paced and not the big whoop you are led to believe it is by so many critics ... that's not a complaint about slow pacing, but the trailer makes Audition out to be a different film ... slow pacing isn't necessarily a bad thing. Indeed, one of my favourite movies is The Assassination of Jesse James by the Coward Robert Ford, which has a very stately pace to it, but it's bloody brilliant.

Let it be noted that reading the wikipedia plot summary of "Audition" was enough for me.

[Andy]

Let it be noted that reading the wikipedia plot summary of "Audition" was enough for me. Im the total opposite, after reading that and looking at a couple of clips on youtube this a movie to add to my to-watch list. I get so bored of the same stale routine most movies go through, anything genuinely different or shocking is worth a watch in my opinion.
