Janie Posted March 10, 2009 Share Posted March 10, 2009 Last night I found myself flipping through the cable movie channels and started watching Vacancy. Has anyone seen this? I had to stop watching it when the weird stuff starting happening in their motel room (the lights going off - right after all the weird banging started on their doors). And then I had a whole mess of nightmares! I have a hard time sitting through the Saw movies too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ya_Big_Tree Posted March 10, 2009 Share Posted March 10, 2009 Any war type movies like Saving Private Ryan, Platoon etc... and bible-type movies. I can't watch em. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
-D-RocK- Posted March 11, 2009 Share Posted March 11, 2009 The Hills Have Eyes. I couldn't make it through to the end because it was so stupid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theredtamasrule Posted March 11, 2009 Share Posted March 11, 2009 Well I've not seen any of the Saw movies and what little I did see of Hostel makes me pretty sure I don't want to sit through one of those torture-porn flicks. I can't think of any movies I couldn't handle or thought was too stupid to finish once I started...'cept maybe one of those Ernest movies. I did fall asleep at Top Gun however.

VampireBiscuits Posted March 11, 2009 Share Posted March 11, 2009 I almost didnt make it through the original Texas Chainsaw Massacre (but I am glad I did, since it is now one of my favorite movies). The one I had the hardest with though was called Cannibal from 2005. I believe it was a straight to video release, based on the lives of the real life cannibals from Germany that participated in consensual cannibalism in the early 2000's (don't remember when exactly). But the film did not shy away from anything, never sugar coated anything or turned the camera away. It actually made me nauseous. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cowtothesky Posted March 11, 2009 Share Posted March 11, 2009 I watched 'The Ring' by myself one night. That was the closest I came to stopping a movie early. Also, Hostel freaked me out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GeddyRulz Posted March 11, 2009 Share Posted March 11, 2009 What was that Ashton Kutcher sci-fi thing a few years back? I want to say "The Butterfly Effect." My wife and I were sitting around the house, waiting for her labor to intensify before going to the hospital, and watching this flick to kill time. Too disturbing for "where we were at" emotionally. Stopped it quick. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I never watched horror flicks but the "Ring" scared the hell out of me - That silent video clip is the creepiest thing in the world - THe only movie we had to leave was "Testament" - A post nuclear war movie with Jane Alxeander and William Devaney - it was so depressing and disturbing we had to leave about ten minutes before the end along with many others - all i remember is standing in the lobby watching about a dozen woman crying and the men wearing a blank stare on their faces - Edited March 11, 2009 by alphseeker Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Owl Posted March 11, 2009 Share Posted March 11, 2009 I can virtually watch any movie without being affected. Even the movies that make you say, "Damn, that's f*cked up!" Dont bother me at all. The only movie that ever had an effect on my behavior while watching it was "Cabin Fever".... I was eating during that movie (another thing I dont have a problem doing during a particulary gory film), but I couldn't eat anything during that film... It was a good film though.

ALifeson85 Posted March 11, 2009 Share Posted March 11, 2009 "Son Of The Mask"...I only made it about 20 minutes into it, and I couldn't take it anymore! I then popped "SAW" into my DVD player, and I was all better! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Owl Posted March 11, 2009 Share Posted March 11, 2009 There was a Nicholas Cage movie back in the late 90's called "Bringing Out The Dead" HOLY SHIT was that movie boring..... I have never NEVER been bored out of a movie, until I saw that piece of shit. If you like slow paced movies, that take forever to finish out one plot point then this film is for you!

HisCounterpart Posted March 11, 2009 Share Posted March 11, 2009 I have always been sooo fraidy, could never watch a horror film all the way through without averting my eyes and walking out of the room (tried to watch a film at a cinema which wasn't even that scary? but had one moment that made me jump to the ceiling - never again am I watching creepy stuff at a cinema - you've got nowhere to hide!! )))). I hate it when they build the fear up and then some nasty thing jumps out at you. Boo! God, I hate that. But that doesn't include gory/torture/cannibal films. I quite enjoy that kinda stuff - liked The Hills Have Eyes, and Hannibal (which of course in in a different category altogether but can be disturbing to people). Hostel I quite enjoyed as well, although it was slightly unnerving, but not because of the torture itself - it's one thing when you got mutants and ghosts, but it's different when people do things to people... For no reason. That's scary. But that's scary when you contemplate it, not when you watch it, so it didn't stop me from actually watching the film. One film I remember I couldn't watch till the end was the Japanese version of The Grudge. Not even averting my eyes and asking my bf to tell me what was happening helped! The Hollywood version is not remotely as scary. I wonder what the Japanese version of the Ring is like. The Hollywood one is watchable for me, i. e. not that scary))). Another scary film I remember gave me bad nightmares was a Spanish horror film called The Baby's Room (or the Nursery Room) about a young couple discovering a ghost through baby monioring system. Creepy stuff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This was the first one that came to mind when I saw the thread title. I had to pause the movie a few times and just walk around the house to settle myself. The quick editing almost makes you nauseous but I think that given the subject matter this was the desired effect. It was filmed in a chaotic way which I think was fitting. Great movie but disturbing as hell and a little hard to watch. They should make all high school freshman watch it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well Lynch actually made it as a reaction to finding out that he was to be a father. A kinda odd reaction to that sort of news, don't you think? I actually really love that movie.

circumstantial tree Posted March 11, 2009 Share Posted March 11, 2009 I saw this bizarre movie on Lifetime (of all places) that I couldn't finish. It involved this preacher's wife who was having an affair with this new young man in town. Turns out that the young man was her son that she'd given up for adoption....because her own father had molested her and raped her a long time ago. She later discovered the truth. Too bizarre and I didn't finish it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That was the closest I came to stopping a movie early. Also, Hostel freaked me out. I was so into the storyline of 'The Ring' that I had to finish that movie. I only made it about halfway through 'Hostel.' Crrrrreeeeeeepy. About two months after I saw 'The Ring' I went to go see a friends new house, complete with, yeah, a sealed-up well in the backyard. I couldn't go anyway near that thing. I asked her if she saw the movie, said, "yes" and said it didn't bother her. HOW!? How could you live with that in your backyard? *shiver* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tick Posted March 11, 2009 Share Posted March 11, 2009 Horror movies don't bother me much at all. There was a scene in the movie "Trainspotting", where a junkie whore is on a Heroin binge for days before she realizes she has forgotten about her baby. She goes to the crib and finds the baby dead. The baby was blue. She had staved it to death. That scene scarred me for life. Did anyone else see this ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
