      Only movies I consider disturbing and depraved are the obvious ones like...
      A Serbian Film
      Cannibal Holocaust
      The ones that I dont think you would be able to stomach are...
      The August Underground (the whole trilogy)
      Guinea Pig (the whole collection)
      Nekromantic
      An honourable mention from our little country, Britain...called Mum and Dad. That one doesn't get enough love. Don't get mixed up with the American one.

    I never see anyone mention Mysterious Skin with JGL. It is extremely well done, and I don’t know if I could ever watch it again. A young boy is obsessed with alien abductions, believing he was a victim. Another boy struggles with drugs and begins hustling. When their paths cross, the tragic event that links them is reviled.
    I haven’t watched it since the days of Netflix by mail, but it still lives in my head.

      Great film!! Omg - great cast, acting, film work. I miss the old IFC days.
      But this movie is NOT A HORROR MOVIE. there is an important distinction between gritty, human based, existential coming of age storytelling, and HORROR. Again - I LOVE this movie, but it's not horror. You need to learn the difference. Let me give u a quick walk-through: John Milton, Edgar Allen Poe, H.P. Lovecraft, Robert W Chambers, Stephen King, Ramsey Campbell, George A Romero, John Carpenter, Stuart Gordon, Victor Miller, Wes Craven, Tobe Hooper, William Friedken, David Cronenberg, Clive Barker, Don Coscarelli, Ari Aster, etc...these are different than Stanely Cubrik or Martin Scorsese, or Howard storm.

    Kudos for featuring "Boxing Helena." ! It seemed to be part of a string of disturbing "body horror" films of the early-mid '90's: " Killing Zoe," "The Doom Generation," "7", "Mary Shelley's Frankenstein", and to a degree "The Crying Game." All had the same bleak, industrial lighting and disturbing imagery. Solid vid.

    Man Bites Dog was a pretty disturbing movie that doesn't get mentioned much. Its portrayal of the socio/psychopathic main character is chilling. Not exactly a horror movie but scary when you think about people who are this way in the and worse real world. And it was one of the earlier movies I can think of that popularized the "found footage" style of filmmaking.

It's hard to find these types of dark neo-noir/detective/psychological thrillers in the vein of Seven, Silence of the Lambs, Antibodies, Girl with the D.T. etc. that aren't predictable or sloppy and poorly executed. And as you've mentioned, this one doesn't necessarily do anything totally special or revolutionary, but it's just very well done, balanced and tightly written. Thanks again Emma.

    Is it bad that I find very little that disturbs me anymore? I wonder if I've just seen too much now. I find that these sorts of disturbing films, when they do cause a reaction in me, leave me depressed more than anything, which I'm not sure if that is the same as feeling disturbed? I watched 'Speak No Evil' the other week and the ending just left me with this horrible empty feeling that lingered for a few days. Maybe I need to change genre lol.

    Hi Emma. 2 movies I immediately thought of as I watched this post. 2013 film out of the Netherlands, Borgman. And a film from the 90's starring Alan Rickman and Madelaine Stowe called Closetland. Both of these I would consider Psychological Horror and have stuck with me loooong after I saw them. Keep up the great work!!

    I think you are the only person I have heard discuss Boxing Helena! I actually saw that when it was new and have never forgotten it. At the time, I thought it was one of the oddest movies I had ever seen. The only other one I had seen then that stuck with me was Warhol's Flesh For Frankenstein.

    Holy crap. You are spot on with miss violence. Just finished it, and I don’t think I’ve ever been so disturbed by a movie since the war zone. And another movie I can’t quite think of, made in the 90s, that I recommend if you like disturbing, of course you may have seen it already. This one is sticky, I’m having a difficult time shaking it. Wow. So deeply disturbing but so we’ll made. The whole time watching it, it felt oppressive and imposing and toxic and questionable and claustrophobic…yikes. Thanks and no thanks for the recco. Lol-ish.

    Great list, I've been intrigued by Boxing Helena for ages, seeing the cover at the video library when it came out as a kid and remembering all the terrible reviews it got at the time. Maybe I'll have to check it out. Have you ever reviewed Takashi Miike's Visitor Q? I think it's the most disturbing dark comedic take on Mary Poppins anyone could ever imagine.

    Boxing Helena was a milestone for me in the 90s . First I love Julian Sands, and Sherilyn Fenn was really popular at the time. It's a movie that always stayed in my mind and forged , with some other movies, my cinematic tastes, aesthetic. The movie that disturbed me the most and troubled me for a long time, and still now is Grim Love. It's based on a real story and knowing that it is just shocking and terribly sad too. I never hear of this one, sometimes I wonder if I'm the only one that saw this. Keri Russell is very good in it. Did you see it Emma ? Thanks for another great video!

    Surprisingly, I’ve actually seen one of these, Boxing Helena. I worked at a video store about 20 years ago and would pick up random titles I’d never heard of before. I don’t remember much detail except that it was very strange.

    Thanks for the list, Emma! I saw Miss Violence in the cinema when it first came out and I was not prepared for the total darkness of the story. I was with a friend, and I hade to leave with her before the end because she found it too hard to watch. I still think it was a good film, but I probably wouldn't recommend it if you don't know the theme beforehand.

    Thanks for the list, Emma. I saw "Boxing Helena" a long time ago on VHS rental, yet it is a film that sticks with you. It definitely had that Twin Peaks kind of vibe, but the jaw-dropper for me was seeing Sherilyn Fenn in that dress in the cabinet. It took a few seconds for my brain to comprehend what my eyes were seeing. I am curious now to see "The Treatment" and you have properly warned me.
    As for disturbing recommendations, I've got three titles here (from least to most disturbing):
    SHREIK OF THE MUTILATED (1974): This campy Bigfoot film was disturbing enough to give me a "panic attack" when I saw it eight years ago.
    I'M NOT SCARED (IO NON HO PAURA, 2003): An Italian-Spanish film about a young boy discovering a disturbing secret in his small town.
    DER SAMAURI (2014): A German crime thriller involving a strait-laced policeman tracking a cross-dressing serial killer with a samurai sword. It gets really weird.

    There is this one movie I watched that just really got to me and I *rarely* seen it mentioned. In fact I watch your channel regularly (only subscribed now, because your videos come up so frequently in my youtube algorithm *almost* every time you make a video, I thought I had already subscribed) and I don't think you've mentioned the film, but it's called "The Great Ecstasy of Robert Carmichael." I watched it once... I think it was posted on youtube a while back, but I don't think it streams. You might have to find a copy on ebay or amazon, but it's another rare traumatically-disturbing film.
    I have bought a copy of "Boxing Helena" and it sits on my shelf. I just have big issues with a lot of body horror films, and from what I heard about the film, I just get this "Dead Ringers" vibe from it-- a movie I waited 25 years to watch, and when I finally did I was so traumatized I could watch another film or TV show with Jeremy Irons--and I have watched a lot of disturbing films (A Serbian Film, Salos, Funny Games--or in reality most Haneke films can be classified as such). "Dead Ringers" just really hit a nerve with me. BUT I am a HUGE Lynch fan --David and Jennifer--and I know that one day I will need to see this.
