You linked to the IMDb page for the 2010 remake. Have you seen the 1978 original? It was one of Roger Ebert's most hated movies. It is definitely not something that can be even remotely defended from any moral or artistic standpoint, but, as far as pure exploitation trash goes, it's fairly gripping and well-done.

️ — 6 months ago(September 21, 2025 04:58 AM)Eraserhead is the film that most disturbed me. Followed by 120 days. Both films are masterpieces though, especially 120 days. I have re-watched it.
I will never re watch eraser head. It made me sick to my stomach. I hate it. Objectively, it's a masterpiece of psychological surrealism about the fear of fatherhood.
Mysterious Skin also disturbed the hell out of me. It was more depressing than disturbing, though "but still disturbing as hell". A deeply gloomy, sad film with an aura of like, a nostalgic blue depressive aura, much like the aura The Virgin Suicides and Boys Dont Cry had. All three of these are excellent films.
Requiem for a Dream was also incredibly sad and disturbing. I love this film end watch it at least once a year, unlike the others I've mentioned.
Oh yeah, and Hard Candy "2005" disturbing as hell.
I havent seen Martyrs. I'll add that to my "too see" list.
