I've been reading about gory cult art/horror films all day on IMDB. I'm interested in seeing "Subconscious Cruelty" and am curious about "Cannibal Holocaust."

Begotten isn't scary so much as it's just very disturbing and confusing. The whole thing is basically a continual assault on the senses. Oh yeah, and one necrophilic scene of fellatio for good measure.

I'm fairly certain I've already seen everything there is to see in "Begotten" on Youtube and that I don't actually need to watch it.
I'm not phased by a whole lot - disturbing realism gets me worse than gore though I imagine I would probably need a barf bag for the live animal killings in "Cannibal Holocaust." Probably the most disturbing movie sequence I've seen so far was the baby in "Eraserhead."

nope I don't watch horror/gore movies pretty much ever. I do want to see "Caligula" pretty desperately for Malcolm McDowell, anyone seen that?

I just watched Lost Highway, not entirely sure I understand it but it was definitely an awesome film! Don't really see how its that creepy, except the awesome character with no eyebrows.

I just watched Begotten. Yawn. I also looked up the goriest scene from "Subconscious Cruelty." Didn't phase me, I truly have zero maternal instinct it seems. NSFWNSFWNSFWNSFWNSFWNSFW VERY GORY AND HIGHLY DISTURBING

It didn't phase you because we live in a desensitized culture that thrives on the next revolting thrill to jolt us out of our emotional comas. We require the most violent and depraved stimulant because we live in a society of desensitization, impatience, instant technological gratification and immunization. We have to be shown something entirely unimaginable if we want to experience any sort of response.

Nah, lots of stuff affects me. I'm just not shocked by killing babies. Deformed faces and prolonged torture scenes of any kind really bother me.

fuck ftagn
13 Tzameti is still one of my favorite movies. so good
watched Hard Candy last night with Ellen Page in it...what a shitty movie. Just one of the worst. She plays this crazy pseudointellectual emo 14 year old girl who seduces this older man and then tortures him by going to chop off his balls and tazing him and shit.

Yeah I've seen it, and it's horrible.
It has great sets though, some of the best for any movie set in Old Rome that I've seen! Very large and visually striking. In the end though, the movie is just the world's longest soft-core porno, and we all know soft-core porn is no fun! I admit, I had to turn it off with about a half hour left of it because it was just Malcolm McDowell sexually assaulting any female on screen which lost it's novelty very fast.

Yeah, this was caterpillar shit.
I'd say that if you want to be seriously disturbed, watch Men Behind The Sun and Philosophy Of A Knife(in that order). They both deal with the Japanese Unit 731. And they are both incredibly brutal. Men Behind The Sun probably has the toughest scene for me to watch involving a live cat being thrown to 1000 rats(particularly because it was real) but overall, Philosophy Of A Knife is the nastiest and bleakest film I have ever seen.

fucking japs. I'm going to burn down the Yasukuni Shrine.
@CC interesting to know. I think I would enjoy it to be honest, as visually striking is often reason enough for me to enjoy a movie.

I have a thing for gory and disturbing films, since this thread seems to be moving into such territories I'm going to post my favourites:
Ichi the Killer. Pretty much the quintessential splatter film as far as I'm concerned. It's too tongue-in-cheek to be seriously disturbing, but there's some rape and mutilation and stuff going on. Tadanobu Asano (my favourite Japanese actor) plays a masochist who looks like a visual kei Joker, who has to... Uhm, I can't remember the plot too well. But it's not that important, the visuals are.
Visitor Q. The only other Miike film that's on par with Ichi the Killer for me. You're probably familiar with the content of this one. More perverse than gory. A lot of people disagree with me, but I think it's a very beautiful film. It takes all these ugly, depraved elements and creates a beautiful movie out of it, and that's what's so remarkable about it, to me.
Ex Drummer. If Visitor Q turns ugly parts into a beautiful whole, Ex Drummer turns ugly parts into a whole that's uglier still.
Antichrist. If movies could scare me, I imagine Antichrist would. It's a rare example of a movie that's horrifying not only on a visceral level, but also on a psychological level and a philosophical level.
If anyone gives a shit about my opinion, I have a few more.

I give a shit. I think Gozu is up there for Miike films as well but nothing compared to Visitor Q.
