15 Movies So Disturbing You Won’t Be Able To Forget Them, According To Reddit

From horror classics to psychological thrillers to films that are just utterly tragic, here are 15 movies so disturbing you won’t be able to forget them, according to Reddit.

1. The Road

The Road

This is also in my “name a movie you’ll never watch again and not because it’s bad but because you soul can’t take it” category.–

2. Tusk 

I watch a lot of horror, but the ending of *Tusk* still bothers me. It was gross and disturbing yet sad.–DogIsBetterThanCat

3. Hereditary

Oh man, “Hereditary” messed me up for sure. That family trauma and all the twists really hit different. Can’t shake the vibe it left behind.–TwilightSilent

4. Kids

Kids. I know it always shows up in these lists, but there’s a reason. I’ve seen it once, and never will watch again, but man.

My friend had watched it and needed someone to watch it so they could discuss it with someone. I completely understand why, it’s really not something you can keep to yourself.–ParadiseLak3

5. Pet Sematary (1989)

The original Pet Sematary. 35 years later and I’m still disturbed by it.–LustThyNeighbor

6. Saving Private Ryan

The knife fight scene in Saving Private Ryan, has stayed with me ever since I saw it. It really messed me up–

7. Vivarium

Vivarium. Never in my life have I felt as uncomfortable watching a movie as I did with that one. The kids voice was the worst part. Solid movie, but I wouldn’t rewatch because of how uncomfortable it made me feel–NormieWhiteMale

8. Freaks

Freaks (1932). There’s a scene where there’s a lot of shouting at a table and some of them there look so lost and confused. Still can’t get it out of my head.–Jolly_Jack_

9. Terrifier 2

Just watched Terrifier 2. Fuck clowns!–Barnagee

10. The Reflecting Skin

The Reflecting Skin. It’s been over 30 years, and I still can’t get the kid talking to “baby Jesus” out of my head.–runciblefish

11. The Florida Project

The Florida Project is the best movie I’ve seen that I absolutely will never watch again. It’s not disturbing like a horror movie, it’s about extreme poverty and a little girl whose mother is a sex worker.–SnooSongs2744

12. The Human Centipede 

The human centipede. No one has forgotten–Jiggybiggy12

13. Above Suspicion

Above Suspicion

The movie is based on true events regarding a corrupt and manipulative FBI agent and there are some DV scenes in the movie that are hard to stomach. After the film is over, there’s a real interview with the FBI agent in prison and as he is talking you can see a faint smile when he rambles on about how sorry he is for taking a life. The smile on his face is what I can’t get out of my head and it made the movie even more haunting in hindsight.–CourseImpressive6111

14. Sinister

Sinister is one of the few films that I wish I had never watched.–

15. Mother!

Mother! That movie is such a fever dream–blazingasshole
