I’m sad to hear you didn’t like the perfection! I actually thought it was a good lesbian horror movie because the twist was amazing, but yeah disturbing as hell for sure lol
I don't know, maybe it was the execution of the twist? I loved the first part of the movie, but once the flashbacks started it felt like the movie lost its edge and got a little hammy.
@@EvelynDar I can see that, not for everyone, I went into it with very low expectations, and was surprised at how much I liked it. Also the chemistry between them was pretty hot lol
I never heard about pretty much all of these, and after watching this video, I feel like they would be better left buried six feet under, never to see the light of day again. The more disturbing films, at least.
I left this in my "watch later" for when I could properly watch it full. And I just want to say I admire the way you edit so much! Thanks for making this awesome, entertaining and interesting videos for us!! Much love from Argentina
the perfection was rough….the sound of violence was “interesting” i hav to check out all the rest, you alway make great recommendations…like passing…wasnt expecting that ending, but….yeah. thanx for posting.
Nice list! I am probably not going to watch the movies. Recently I watched Jennifer's body and although it's good night sleep tier, it still was scary at some points. This overview is really something else than the usual recommendations we get. Your movie digging is appreciated! Films from this list that I watched are: Heavenly creatures, Sister my sister, Aniara, Butterfly kiss and beyond the hill. Liked them all! The small disturbing factor make the films more memorable for me. Thanks thanks thanks for mentioning Jodhi! I love her acting in Sister my sister and of course tipping the velvet, gentleman jack and the quiet passion.
I’ve watched both of the Martyrs films, and still Allure is the most disturbing movie on this list that I’ve seen. ERW really creeped me out because I can see that relationship happening in real life. Also, you had me choking with laughter at the Sister My Sister comments. I think that movie is hot, but only because of Joely Richardson.
I haven't seen Allure, but ERW playing the gr**mer, when she alleges she was gr**med by M. Manson just makes it that much worse (by worse I mean disturbing in how that might have been ERW trying to make sense of or hurting herself by making this)
@@EvelynDar So true! Evan Rachel Wood is such a great actor, and she is not afraid to play dark. I have seen her in a few movies that have "edgy" subject matter. Crazy when I remember she is the voice of the mother from Frozen 2.
French movie Martyrs from 2008 wrecked me. I was different after that. Evelyn didn't highlight the part that stuck with me: they were people with a "noble" mission regarding the afterlife, so this movie also put me in the existential dread category. I won't ruin the ending of what happened to one of the torturers when the flayed girl started to see the afterlife. Sister My Sister is still one of my favs. Amazing acting from May.
I am very happy to say that I have never watched any of these movies and actually haven't even heard of them before I watched your video. So thank you for warning me 😅
So... compared to the movies deep down the iceberg Sister My Sister is wholesome fun. That's my takeaway, plus I have added many of these to the do not watch list. Thank you for protecting my delicate sensibilities. I've been scared by movies before.
I watched that film when I was 15 or 16 I think. I remember being SO confused and I definitely was too young to have been exposed to all that but, too late now.
Holy ****, I couldn't remember the name of a movie I watched many years ago, probably cos I was so DISGUSTED. And it's on this list! The martyrs! I f**king hate this movie. It was recommended to me by a male friend. We are not friends anymore btw.... :) My advice to people: do NOT watch it. It's French, I believe, and well, French horror movies are...quite something. I've watched a movie about a cannibal family. It was gory, terrible, scary and unsettling. My mom could watch only 15 minutes. My dad said: "If you watch this movie, you'll never watch horror again". But I did. The Martyrs tho... I regret this movie having been filmed AT ALL, not only watching it...😬
This was great! Heavenly Creatures is one of my all time faves (the clay! Lol). To this day, if you put Melanie Linskey in anything, I will probably watch it. It always irks me as little that her career didn't take off the way Kate Winslet's did (it was the first film for both of them). High Tension is one of my fave horror movies, too. I'd completely forgotten about Fun! I think I may actually still own it on vhs! Sister My Sister...I'm with you on anything with Jodhi May. I haven't seem Butterfly Kiss in forever. You really can't go wrong with Amanda Plummer. It's always gonna be a fuxxed up good time of she's involved. Perfect Blue was so disturbing but so beautifully animated. Also one of my faves. I feel like I don't want to watch Sound of Violence, but much like her Yellowjackets costar (Melanie Linskey), I will watch Jasmin Savoy-Brown in anything. I watched Perfection because I recognized the lead actress from Dear White People tv series. When that movie finished, I was like....Why? Why did I watch this? Where did my life go wrong. What life choices led me here? What life choices led anyone involved in this film to... make this film?? On your advice, Ima go ahead and avoid Martyrs at all costs. Thank you for your service.
The conclusion of "Martyrs" tho... Did it take my sleep for a day? Yes. Ama gonna watch it again? I consider it once in a while. Is it brilliant? Big yes.
Fair Play to You Ms.Evelyn, out there, traumatizing your retina so We don't have to. 😂. You're doing the Gayelle Goddess Work. Much love to You from France.
I’ve only watched a few of these movies. I actually liked Retreat, What Keeps You Alive, High Tension, and The Perfection. I may give some of the others you named a try.
I love disturbing films but there are some that I will never watch again. Martyr is one of them. My most fav ones were High Tension, Perfection and What Keeps You Alive
I think this is your only video that I basically listened to, more than watched. Thank you for all of the warnings!! I'm not a fan of most horror stories but I'm a fan of you - So I'm just here to support!
Look, I understand must girls aren't into these kind of films. But I am in the 2 percent that actually are into them! I loved The Perfection and would absolutely rewatch Martyrs. I think watching different kind of lesbian movies, aside from the enemies to lovers, or the one in the closet/period drama/Xmas related Story and so on, watching something different and disturbing is entertaining too. I found Allure heavy and dark, but I love Evan Rachel wood and it is always a pleasure to watch her. What I'm trying to say is, yes! Some of us enjoy these kind of icebergs/movies. Some of us lesbians are weird and like watching uncomfortable films 🤭.
The Martyrs is NOT worth your time. I like bloody horror movies sometimes, but this one... no. I wish it wasn't even filmed at all. If you like really gory and f*cked up French movies, I'd recommend "The Frontier" then. It is just a better f*cked up movie in my opinion. There are no lesbians in it and even a scene with straight sex, but after that the story develops in a crazy way :)) I wish I wouldn't have watched The Martyrs tho. I am still disgusted with it.
This was a fun video, you are hilarious. I am a huge horror fan, but Martyrs is a hard limit for me. I just can't do it. From the list I have watched: Heavenly Creatures, Fun, Sister my Sister (ew), The Perfection (thought it was great, but really fucked up), What Keeps you Alive, Butterfly Kiss (did not like it), and Aniara. I watched a bunch of them when I was probably too young to do so, which may have affected my thoughts on them, especially Butterfly Kiss. I have been wanting to watch High Tension, people seem to really like it. My wife will not watch horror movies for the most part, so it's just me. She'll put on headphones and cuddle me though!
Dear Evelyn- this is just so weird- what I find most disturbing about this entire list is that you made me laugh throughout. Rest assured, I am not going to watch any single one of these more than the 10 seconds that you shown us. Thanks for the heads up! I'm sure I will sleep well again soon. I honor your sacrifice....
I actually liked "Butterfly Kiss". Amanda Plummer & Saskia Reeves managed to make their characters somewhat worthy of empathy in the same way that Charlize Theron made you feel a little bad for Aileen Wournos in "Monster". Plus, BK was pretty edgy stuff back in the day. The thing about lesbian serial killers is the sincerity w/ which they say, "F*ck the patriarchy!", lol. A factoid: Amanda Plummer is the daughter of acclaimed actor Christopher Plummer (The Sound Of Music).
I´m surprised to know and have seen more than half of this list. I loved The Perfection, High Tension and Tag, as well as Perfect Blue and I agree with you that Climax is one of those movies that you want to end from the beginning. As a curious fact, it is based on real events. Although I know the plot of Martyrs and Titane I don't know if I have the stomach to see them. The movie Fun I remember watching years ago. You unlocked that memory for me.
You didn't find the story of Papin sisters disturbing?? They murdered a mother and daughter and gouged their eyes out, possibly while they were still alive. It's a horrible story.
lmao, your videos are all so entertaining and I just want to thank you for your service of putting yourself up to torture for watching most of these so that none of us have to. That's commendable lol. Hats off to you!
Great video! These movies certainly do seem disturbing, but you made me laugh out loud quite a few times. Movies I have seen: - Perfect Blue -> Phenomenal film. Hard to find. I would recommend 'Paprika' as well. - Allure -> So unsettling. So well-written and acted that it is uncomfortable. - Sister My Sister-> I have watched this several times. Gives me chills. (SIDENOTE: I am with you, Jodhi May=😍) - Heavenly Creatures-> Watched this a long time ago. Well-acted and intense. - Butterfly Kiss-> I barely remember this one. I think I found it boring or confusing. To be fair I may have been too young to appreciate the existential desires of the main character. A friend recommended The Perfection to me, I decided to pass because I have not been in the mental space to tolerate it. We both watch disturbing movies; I have to be in the mood if it includes lots of gore. Additionally, some of the themes remind me of a South Koren film I watched years ago about children being mistreated at a school for the deaf. I do not remember the name of that film. Anyhoo, great video! cannot wait for the next. P.S.- Good thing you mentioned 'Cracks' in the "Guilty Pleasures" video. I feel like it floats in a weird space where it may not be as disturbing as the films listed in this video, but I would probably carefully pick who I recommend it to if they are not ready to feel a certain way.
Oh God I remember Heavenly Creatures! I watched it accidentally when I was eleven years old. It was on the TV late at night and both my parents had fallen asleep, so I ended up watching the entire thing. I was a traumatised lesbian mess for a week 😭
Regarding french movies... i'd love to know your take on "Blue is the warmest color". It ain't a horror movie but a french existential drama. The lesbian relationship between the two girls and the sex scenes though are rather morbid and very disturbing. So disturbing that i had to leave the theater halfway through the movie!
I'm quite sure she has watched it. It's too popular inside the Lesbian community. I think most of us don't like it, but I'm surprised that it disturbed you like that. It seems just bad taste and exploitative to me.
I've watched many of those so called disturbing and gorey movies so didn't particularly find martyrs disturbing but it was so depressing and had such a heavy awful atmosphere even I couldn't watch it all in one sit, it's like as if everything that could've gone wrong did, but to someone whoever is used to that kinda stuff I definetly recommend, if you're familiar with the "disturbing movie" genre it's a must watch
Feels like Kristen Stewart's newest "Crimes of the Future" belongs at the bottom for me. I was so disturbed by the casual gore that I couldn't continue. Plus it wasn't engaging at all.
Okay so after snooping more about the movies, if I was brave enough I would really like to watch the following ones: What Keeps You Alive, Heavenly Creatures, Aniara, Perfect Blue, Tag, Sound of Violence, Perfection and High Tension.
What bothered me about Martyr's is the fact that i knew there wouldn't be a happy ending. I understood that. But watching two queer PoC essentially be filmed in what felt like such an exploitative film. Ugh. It fell short on what I expected. As yes, watching them be abused, fall in love, torn to shreds, then die.
Yeah... I will just stick to romcoms and dramas... I did watch Titane tho and it was okay, I liked it and I wasn't really disturbed by it. As for martyrs, my ex really liked it and told me the whole plot so that was enough for me 😅
Did you even watch the perfection?! She had her cut off her own arm because she knew that was the only way that she could get her away from the situation she was in. Being raped by an adult since she was a child who would throw her away the second she couldn’t do something for him. They were not sewn together, one lost one arm and one lost the other so they could play if they used the one hand they had! I’ll give you a break because you did have to watch a lot of movies for this video, but I don’t feel like you understood the perfection or paid attention, which makes me critical of all the other movie descriptions 😅
Yeah the Perfection is just another REALLY weird, psychological body horror rape revenge film. Liked American Mary better for that category of films, but I do really like rewatching the 1st part of the movie for obvious reasons then turning it off as soon as they decide to go on the trip.
Have watched only Sister My Sister. Fascinating. I don't think I will watch any of the others...but who knows? Totally unrelated: Evelyn, if you reviewed boring "straight" movies, I would still hang on your every word.
I remember when I started watching Allure, honestly I was not in my best mental state at that time but I remember being extremely disturbed, enfuriating and revolting. I HATED the movie. I couldn't finish it.
I believe I saw a little bit of martyrs when I was a kid I remember that scene of the girl running down the street I’ve been trying to figure out what was the movie for years now! That one part stuck with me for all these years
I’m good with all remaining a nope. I have seen Heavenly Creatures but it’s been so long I don’t remember it. Now, I’m gonna go rewatch Killing Eve cuz that’s my level, lol.
I watched perfection n back in the day heavenly creatures a real f$%% movie to watch as one of your first 'lesbian' flicks. Dont think I watched that again. Loved your analysis, thanks for the heads up on what to definitely avoid
What keeps you alive was excellent. The retreat was good as well. Sister my Sister is the finest piece of cinema on any of these lists imho.IMHO. High tension also was a great watch but after the reveal not worth watching twice.
Ive only seen four of these: Heavenly creatures Sister my sister Butterfly Kiss The perfection The first three of which i still have on old vhs somewhere. Could easily watch heavenly creatures again, such a brilliant film. I remember seeing that in the cinema and those final few minutes, that agonising scream, the epilogue and the song playing you’ll never walk alone. It was a “wow” moment and I sat through all the end credits just to take it in. Sister my sister i would watch again just for Jodhi May.
I had forgotten I'd read Mai-chan's daily life. Now I remember it. I never should have clicked this video. The rest was fine, but the memories Mai-chan will haunt me yet again.
Hahaha!! I love the list! Great organization of lesbian horror films which, by the way, there is a lot of. Wonder why…. 🤔 Hey, as a horror buff though, I don’t mind too much.
I have only seen sister my sister which I liked actually.. tho I have no sisters. And allure cause I love Evan Rachel wood but yeah so incredibly uncomfortable. I had to watch behind the scenes to not be like grossed out.
This isn't me bragging or anything, there's nothing to brag with these movies, I just wanted to say that I watched Martyrs like 3 times because I hate myself... Kidding I honestly don't know why I watched it that amount of times, but I would definitely watch Martyrs over Allure, this movie is so fucking awful in the sense is that is well made on how fucked up the grooming is and is such an uncomfortable movie that one for me is a never again.
Wait so the maids in "Sister my Sister" are sisters? I'm gonna watch it. "Sound of Violence" to me is kinda like ASMR lol The Mai-chan, I won't EVER watch it but I might read the manga cuz I'm so curious.
Some of these movies sound like the Human Centipede, which I didn't even watch in full ( I skipped a lot of parts), but regret every second of it.. !!!! Also to note, here in Berlin Titane was hyped up a lot, but I could tell from the story line, and the trailer it was a load of doodoo. I don't think it's about liking french cinema, some movies, no matter where they're from are trying to be extra, when they're not, they're just bad movies. They get seen as 'genius' because it's so out there and some people like to pretend they get it and have intellectual conversations about it, but in the meantime have also no f ing clue wtf is going on really, it's just their interpretation of a bad movie. ( I "know" someone like that here in Berlin and it's eye rolling cringy ) I doubt I will ever watch Titane.. unless someone makes me.
I watched allure a few days before seeing this video and was not surprised that it was on the list. I thought, Evan Rachel Wood hell yeah, but that movie made me UNCOMFY. Couldn’t finish it.
After watching Allure I had to check the age years old of actresses even if Rachel Evan Wood is fine... But the younger actress really made question me (I was kinda young too) and I was kinda mad it was so perverted... But I guess it was on propuse
I found "Johny got his gun" full here on UA-cam and I'm going to watch it. It's funny because recently I tried to watch another disturbing war film, a sovietic one called "Come and See". Got too scared and chickened out. This one might ease the frustration.
Martyr is the worst ! I spent 20€ on it solely because of Mylène Jampanoï (i had seen her on The chinese botanist's daughters) and immediately regreted it! Luckly I had spoiled myself of the skining scene so i went away when it came up leaving my sister to "enjoy" it by herself !
Only watched butterfly kiss of Amanda Plummer is versatile actress. The perfection the actress is so cute. She’s was n get out. Allure ms Evan is divine. C the pattern
Um, thanks - but please consider making a reverse one on happy lesbian films; perhaps working up (down?) from bittersweet to joyful, watch-on-a-loop.
I’m sad to hear you didn’t like the perfection! I actually thought it was a good lesbian horror movie because the twist was amazing, but yeah disturbing as hell for sure lol
I don't know, maybe it was the execution of the twist? I loved the first part of the movie, but once the flashbacks started it felt like the movie lost its edge and got a little hammy.
@@EvelynDar I can see that, not for everyone, I went into it with very low expectations, and was surprised at how much I liked it. Also the chemistry between them was pretty hot lol
I liked it BECAUSE it was so batshit.
I agree i really liked the perfection
I have lived a good life having seen none of these films, and I will continue to do so.
I never heard about pretty much all of these, and after watching this video, I feel like they would be better left buried six feet under, never to see the light of day again. The more disturbing films, at least.
I recently watched 'Benedetta' some lesbian nun movie which I really don't know how to feel about. It sort of left me rather disturbed....
Your editing and jokes are on point, made me laugh a ton!
I left this in my "watch later" for when I could properly watch it full. And I just want to say I admire the way you edit so much! Thanks for making this awesome, entertaining and interesting videos for us!! Much love from Argentina

I am very happy to say that I have never watched any of these movies and actually haven't even heard of them before I watched your video. So thank you for warning me 😅
same!
High tension was my favorite on the list. It’s a great horror movie. Martyrs was to much for me lol. Awesome list Evelyn.
So... compared to the movies deep down the iceberg Sister My Sister is wholesome fun. That's my takeaway, plus I have added many of these to the do not watch list. Thank you for protecting my delicate sensibilities. I've been scared by movies before.
It's a great family movie ;)
Duke of Burgundy was the first movie that made me feel uncomfortable...and weird and has stuck with me for awhile...
I watched that film when I was 15 or 16 I think. I remember being SO confused and I definitely was too young to have been exposed to all that but, too late now.
The last movie reminded me of neon demon, that one Is traumatizing, it is just so horrific never watch that movie for the sake of your mental health.
Holy ****, I couldn't remember the name of a movie I watched many years ago, probably cos I was so DISGUSTED. And it's on this list! The martyrs! I f**king hate this movie. It was recommended to me by a male friend. We are not friends anymore btw.... :)

Several of my favorite movies are on this iceberg.
The conclusion of "Martyrs" tho... Did it take my sleep for a day? Yes. Ama gonna watch it again? I consider it once in a while. Is it brilliant? Big yes.
"WHAT KEEPS YOU ALIVE" IS LITERALLY MY FAVOURITE MOVIE OF ALL TIME!!!
Fair Play to You Ms.Evelyn, out there, traumatizing your retina so We don't have to. 😂.
You're doing the Gayelle Goddess Work. Much love to You from France.

Of the later categories, at least.

I've watched many of those so called disturbing and gorey movies so didn't particularly find martyrs disturbing but it was so depressing and had such a heavy awful atmosphere even I couldn't watch it all in one sit, it's like as if everything that could've gone wrong did, but to someone whoever is used to that kinda stuff I definetly recommend, if you're familiar with the "disturbing movie" genre it's a must watch
Feels like Kristen Stewart's newest "Crimes of the Future" belongs at the bottom for me. I was so disturbed by the casual gore that I couldn't continue. Plus it wasn't engaging at all.
I learned so much.
Okay so after snooping more about the movies, if I was brave enough I would really like to watch the following ones: What Keeps You Alive, Heavenly Creatures, Aniara, Perfect Blue, Tag, Sound of Violence, Perfection and High Tension.
What bothered me about Martyr's is the fact that i knew there wouldn't be a happy ending. I understood that. But watching two queer PoC essentially be filmed in what felt like such an exploitative film. Ugh. It fell short on what I expected. As yes, watching them be abused, fall in love, torn to shreds, then die.
I loved the list, was funny. I will watch the ones that you said not to watch. Thank you 😁
Be careful lol
Yeah... I will just stick to romcoms and dramas... I did watch Titane tho and it was okay, I liked it and I wasn't really disturbed by it. As for martyrs, my ex really liked it and told me the whole plot so that was enough for me 😅
Did you even watch the perfection?!
She had her cut off her own arm because she knew that was the only way that she could get her away from the situation she was in. Being raped by an adult since she was a child who would throw her away the second she couldn’t do something for him.
They were not sewn together, one lost one arm and one lost the other so they could play if they used the one hand they had!
I’ll give you a break because you did have to watch a lot of movies for this video, but I don’t feel like you understood the perfection or paid attention, which makes me critical of all the other movie descriptions 😅
Yeah the Perfection is just another REALLY weird, psychological body horror rape revenge film. Liked American Mary better for that category of films, but I do really like rewatching the 1st part of the movie for obvious reasons then turning it off as soon as they decide to go on the trip.
Have watched only Sister My Sister. Fascinating. I don't think I will watch any of the others...but who knows? Totally unrelated: Evelyn, if you reviewed boring "straight" movies, I would still hang on your every word.
Aw, thanks. Whenever i start uploading to my second channel, I'll be covering all kinds of movies.
@@EvelynDar if you make it, we will watch it!
You are too funny... in a positive way... I don t like this kind of movies even if there are lesbians in it but thanks
I watched like 20 min of Martyrs and never tried to finish. I like horror films, but that's just too much.
It is lol
I remember when I started watching Allure, honestly I was not in my best mental state at that time but I remember being extremely disturbed, enfuriating and revolting. I HATED the movie. I couldn't finish it.
I actually like sister my sister ... It is a compelling story with such a difference kind of theme.
Noo what you said is not the plot of The Perfection.😂 I think that movie is actually pretty good. All the plot twists. I recommend it .
I believe I saw a little bit of martyrs when I was a kid I remember that scene of the girl running down the street I’ve been trying to figure out what was the movie for years now! That one part stuck with me for all these years
you watched Martyrs as a child? oh no
I’m good with all remaining a nope. I have seen Heavenly Creatures but it’s been so long I don’t remember it. Now, I’m gonna go rewatch Killing Eve cuz that’s my level, lol.
I watched perfection n back in the day heavenly creatures a real f$%% movie to watch as one of your first 'lesbian' flicks. Dont think I watched that again. Loved your analysis, thanks for the heads up on what to definitely avoid
What keeps you alive was excellent. The retreat was good as well. Sister my Sister is the finest piece of cinema on any of these lists imho.IMHO. High tension also was a great watch but after the reveal not worth watching twice.
Yooooo Perfect Blue and Climax are two of my favorite movies!!
I’m definitely never watching any of these but your commentary 😅😅😅 what planet are you from?😂😂😂😂damn!
Ive only seen four of these:
Heavenly creatures
Sister my sister
Butterfly Kiss
The perfection
The first three of which i still have on old vhs somewhere. Could easily watch heavenly creatures again, such a brilliant film. I remember seeing that in the cinema and those final few minutes, that agonising scream, the epilogue and the song playing you’ll never walk alone. It was a “wow” moment and I sat through all the end credits just to take it in.
Sister my sister i would watch again just for Jodhi May.
I can only watch Aniara one time. It’s too freaking depressing. I had to watch something funny after watching Aniara.
yes
I had forgotten I'd read Mai-chan's daily life. Now I remember it. I never should have clicked this video. The rest was fine, but the memories Mai-chan will haunt me yet again.
I've only seen Allure, to see if the relationship of control is well described.
I study abuse in everyday life, so horror films, ...no.
Okay, I thought it was a one time mistake, but you keep saying it. It's suspension of DISbelief, not suspension of belief 😬
Whoops, been saying that wrong my entire life. Thanks!
I watched Ja, Olga Hepnarova on tv when they showed it with my mother and none of us were disturbed at all??? It was actually pretty interesting
Hahaha!! I love the list! Great organization of lesbian horror films which, by the way, there is a lot of. Wonder why…. 🤔
Hey, as a horror buff though, I don’t mind too much.
I have only seen sister my sister which I liked actually.. tho I have no sisters. And allure cause I love Evan Rachel wood but yeah so incredibly uncomfortable. I had to watch behind the scenes to not be like grossed out.
Bro you saved my weekend w your suggestions
Tori Amos soundtrack! I’m screaming!!!
I love that cover so much
This isn't me bragging or anything, there's nothing to brag with these movies, I just wanted to say that I watched Martyrs like 3 times because I hate myself... Kidding I honestly don't know why I watched it that amount of times, but I would definitely watch Martyrs over Allure, this movie is so fucking awful in the sense is that is well made on how fucked up the grooming is and is such an uncomfortable movie that one for me is a never again.
No Baise-moi ? Or did I miss it? Pretty bad flick, but got a lot of attention when it first came out.
Wait so the maids in "Sister my Sister" are sisters? I'm gonna watch it.
"Sound of Violence" to me is kinda like ASMR lol
The Mai-chan, I won't EVER watch it but I might read the manga cuz I'm so curious.
Spot on about Matyrs. I question why I watched it every day.
I would add Cracks on this list. I found it to be very disturbing.
Some of these movies sound like the Human Centipede, which I didn't even watch in full ( I skipped a lot of parts), but regret every second of it.. !!!! Also to note, here in Berlin Titane was hyped up a lot, but I could tell from the story line, and the trailer it was a load of doodoo. I don't think it's about liking french cinema, some movies, no matter where they're from are trying to be extra, when they're not, they're just bad movies. They get seen as 'genius' because it's so out there and some people like to pretend they get it and have intellectual conversations about it, but in the meantime have also no f ing clue wtf is going on really, it's just their interpretation of a bad movie. ( I "know" someone like that here in Berlin and it's eye rolling cringy ) I doubt I will ever watch Titane.. unless someone makes me.
YES! It's here!
Great video,I've seen about 75% of these movies.
what do you they call it what keeps you alive if the lesbians don't make it to the end? that's an ironic title.
High Tension is an interesting movie besides the whole gore scenes😳, Cecile de France is excellent, so I think It compensates🤷🏻♀️
I watched allure a few days before seeing this video and was not surprised that it was on the list. I thought, Evan Rachel Wood hell yeah, but that movie made me UNCOMFY. Couldn’t finish it.
Wlw in horror hit diff
I like the perfection bc it's unexpected
Yup, I AM disturbed 😐
I stumbled across a movie the other day that could probably make this list. May with Anna Farris it got pretty weird
holy crap how many of these are based on real life events?
I love your voice
After watching Allure I had to check the age years old of actresses even if Rachel Evan Wood is fine... But the younger actress really made question me (I was kinda young too) and I was kinda mad it was so perverted... But I guess it was on propuse
I liked the Perfection, Titane never again
May (2002)
I found "Johny got his gun" full here on UA-cam and I'm going to watch it. It's funny because recently I tried to watch another disturbing war film, a sovietic one called "Come and See". Got too scared and chickened out. This one might ease the frustration.
Not the Sister Sister theme song. LOOOL 💀
thank you ,,no i wont watch any of the movies,,,now i like good movies,,got to give you credit for watching the weird stuff,,have a great week,,;)
Yeah I've watched 0 of these and it will probs remain that way :)
(I might sneak over to wikipedia tho and read the plots of some of these...)
Martyr is the worst ! I spent 20€ on it solely because of Mylène Jampanoï (i had seen her on The chinese botanist's daughters) and immediately regreted it! Luckly I had spoiled myself of the skining scene so i went away when it came up leaving my sister to "enjoy" it by herself !
That’s fucked yo for making your sister watch it by herself but I understand that
I watch Martyrs🙈and the perfection...the perfection wasn't that bad doh...
1:45 literally what I said too lol
Only watched butterfly kiss of Amanda Plummer is versatile actress. The perfection the actress is so cute. She’s was n get out. Allure ms Evan is divine. C the pattern
Martyrs is masterpiece! The best horror movie i ever see!
US remake is bullshit.
Um
Yes there is something wrong with you 🙃🤣 love your comments
thank you for sacrifice yourslf for us =)
