What horror or sci-fi film bothered/disturbed you as an adult?

I saw a few minutes of Faces of Death maybe 20 years ago and I had similar reactions: Why?

There's enough real horror in the world that I do not need to see it as my entertainment. Our beloved monsters have that aura of fantasy that has been mentioned in this thread earlier, and make those horror movies enjoyable. Watching torture, real sorrow and pain, WTF? On the weekend I want to chill, not depress myself!

Why the need to remake some junk like this? The studios, in their brillant brainstorming sessions, decide since Saw part 27 and others like it provide their vacation homes, let's greenlight this, that way we do not have to actually pay someone to "create" an original work of art. BTW, let's throw in a Creature rock musical!

Thankfully, we all have our libraries...

Exactly Bro
I like some over the top stuff ALOT such as the Rob Zombie stuff and Hills Have Eyes remakes because THAT is what I prefer to read in horror novels. When reading MY mind creates the picture the story is telling anyway I wants. I prefer most of my multiple X watch anytime I want horror stuff to be more akin to a somewhat bloody version of the Night Stalker Kolchak realm. FUN, scares suspense,some blood and the cat suddenly jumps thru the window. Or of course the classics and 50s 60s B horror. I usually save the harder stuff for after a bad day/week and not just for Sunday coffee time viewing.

I hear that.....its just weird to me that someone would get excited about that being released. Its one thing in a book, song, comic etc...another thing is stuff like Saw and Hostel but a much MUCH different thing with something like Traces Of Death, I think its just on a completely seperate level of everything else. Honestly anyone that would aproach that sort of thing with the sort of enthusiasm say Star Trek fans went after the new movie...I gotta think to myself......I am very different then you.

Its funny when I was much younger, I wanted horror and all of it. Now that I've grown some and have seen some things and matured, I want my "horror-fiction" and really in its most tasteful form. Keep the other crap. Any dude that gets off on owning a dvd of animals being tortured or an autopsy of a child...excuse me here, but  could use a workboot to the a**

I think its safe to say there arent too many fans of the "real" stuff here...which is nice to know, having said that, time for me to move to a more pleasant topic.

August Undergrounds Mordum. I got about 20 min in and that was too long. Turned it off. Never went back.

As an adult? i guess the "torture porn" genre...SAW, and whatnot.

Nothing against those who like them...it's just not for ME.

Agreed............I find it repulsive.

I can watch most anything,
but I don't care for the Saw or Hostel type flicks-
(there was one along these lines called 'Carver' that I kind of dug)

One film I stayed away from was 'Inside'~

The only movie I can think of that truly disturbed me as an adult was the director's cut of "The Butterfly Effect."  Just plain mean and nasty.  As the time lines change, the mother gets cancer, the girlfriend becomes a scared hooker, he turns into an amputee, gets raped in prison, etc. etc. etc.  That version of the movie was relentless in it's negativity.  Just terrible.  One of the few films that made me feel truly sick and angry after watching it.  Felt like I needed to take a shower.  Haven't even considered watching 2 or 3. 

Second up I'd say Eraser Head.  Yeah, that one was fun too.  Insert rolling eyes here.

Oddly, I've had no problem with movies like Saw, Hostile or Captive.

Wouldn't even consider watching any of the "Faces of Death" videos (I don't think they deserve to be called films).

I like to watch movies for fun and entertainment.  Not to feel like crap afterwards.
