With Halloween around the corner, I figured it would be fun to see if I could come up with a list of the top 10 most disturbing horror films I've seen. What do I mean by "disturbing" in this context? I'm thinking of films that made me uncomfortable and that I found myself unable to stop thinking about the next day.
Here is my list in no particular order:
- Session 9
- Eden Lake
- Antichrist (The Criterion Collection)
- The Strangers
- Martyrs
- Irreversible (read my brief review if you dare)
- Cache (Hidden)
- A Tale of Two Sisters
- Frontier(s): Unrated Director's Cut
- Infection
I am not claiming that all of these films are good, scary, or that you will enjoy them. I loved a couple of them and found others extremely difficult to watch. What they have in common is that I found them disturbing, and they stuck with me for a bit.
I should also mention that the most disturbing film I have ever seen was not a horror film but a documentary called Jesus Camp. That one bothered me like nothing else, and I still haven't worked up the nerve to watch it again.
