Movies that shock, disturb, and disgust!
During my long and passionate affair with movies I've come to realize that I don't like mainstream films as much as I do bizarre films. That's not to say that I won't go see a blockbuster from time to time but I lean more towards the twisted and disturbing cinematic experience. By chance I've found the movies listed below and in each one there is a profoundly disturbing element.
To save other people the trouble of having to search for "shocking" cinema I've compiled my own list of twisted gems. Enjoy!

Audition (Ôdishon) (1999, R)
I have got to say that I love Takashi Miike! After David Lynch he is my favorite director. This movie is perfect genius. It starts out as a sweet love story and continues like that through most of the movie.. then when you least expect it you step out into the road and get hit with a bus that is the ending. If I'm allowed to make one request it would be please please do not look away you will miss some of the best screen time a film has ever had. |

Funny Games (2008) (2007, R)
Have you ever gone to see a movie and while watching it you realize you don't want it to end? That's how I felt while viewing Funny Games. It was a wonderfully disturbing piece of cinema. The acting was better than I'd expected. Michael Pitt does a seriously wonderful job of being creepy in a subtle way. |

You should see some more David Lynch films; "Eraserhead" in particular. No film has actually made me look away from the screen. By the way, Blue Velvet is my favorite movie (to put things in perspective).
