Seven Pounds
Watched soon after untimely death of a loved one.
Spent like a week in bed after watching.

A Serbian Film.

There is no on screen violent or sexual acts but it still got a NC-17 rating. It's the darkest of dark comedies, if you're after disturbing for the sake of disturbing, you won't be able to top this.
I couldn't finish it. It was fucking awful

Spy Kids disturbed me as a kid because of the idea of people being turned into fooglies. The film doesn't even show them being changed back, I guess we're supposed to assume it. Why couldn't they have a scene at the end where the rescued agents videochat with the cortezes and thank them? The movie also has kind of a creepy atmosphere. I revisited it a bunch of times and kept being disturbed. Then I watched it again at age 30, fully prepared to be triggered by certain scenes but weirdly, I wasn't. It's just a normal movie to me now, and a pretty good one for what it is

Everyone that welcomes the fall of society or post war survivalist fantasies should watch this for a reality check.
Hostage, it was a mediocre to decent Bruce Willis action flick about teenagers holding a family for ransom. It's been a long time since I saw it, but I remember one of the villains being incredibly unsettling and disturbing throughout.
You could understand his frustration if you have lots of experience with humans and the evil things they do to you or others.
It is not okay to kill nor am I justifying his actions, only justifying his feelings.
I hear ya
A Serbian Film. It's messed up.
Testament.
The slow death of living in a post-nuclear world. Terrifying in its hopelessness. You don’t actually see the destruction from the nuclear detonation, only people slowly dying. I know there are other films like Day After or Threads, but in those they depict the epicenters of the bombs destruction, not the slow death outside of the worst hit area. I found it crushing in a way that the other movies didn’t match.

Rosemead. Watched it recently and went in completely blind. On one hand I recommend doing that, on the other hand I feel its irresponsible to tell someone to do that.
Second this one. I watched it months ago and still think about it. Be careful when you look it up. Tons of spoilers everywhere. At most just watch the official trailer (don't read the comments) and decide if you want to watch it. It's about a son with schizophrenia and his mother
Black Mirror's Striking Vipers episode. Initially made me uncomfortable, but then prompts questions about virtual/online interactions and where to draw the line. Building (virtual) things in an online game together with a (adult) friend is OK. (Virtually) harming or killing your (adult) friend in online game is OK. Is having (virtual) sex with your (adult) friend in online game OK?

"War of the Roses" was difficult to watch.
I found some scenes from the movie 'Amistad' (1997) deeply disturbing, and they haunt me to this day (as they should any sane human being).
