What are some disturbing books/movies/shows/games you have experienced?

Pretty much everything main stream lately, especially popular Hollywood movies, if you abstain long enough from pop culture you find it all very disturbing, sick and demented and will find it hard to understand how people could enjoy it.

Just recently I think I clicked on a game trailer for zombies or something, titled dead island or something, and I found it very vulgar and what was running in my mind how could people enjoy this, it is obviously sick. I pretty much think Humanity have regressed and been desensitized greatly. You can only notice these things if you abstain long enough from pop culture, I know I didn't use to think much of it but now it's different.

In the beginning of movie culture. People would throw up if they saw too much shooting or killing in a movie (in black and white old movies!), now things are pretty much gruesome.

 

Any movie by Takashi Miike will leave you speechless, especialy Visitor Q

 

I'm not easily disturbed because i grew up watching like snuff films and just a lot of real life gory stuff, but funny enough kane from wwe used to scare the shit out of me as a kid haha. And some episodes of courage did creep me out a bit but in a good way, I loved that show and still do. But now as an adult nothing really gets to me much.

 

Courage the Cowardly dog was a great show, but it was a really sad show. Those space squids really made me depressed when I was a kid.

Southland had a very disturbing scene of two dudes fighting in the last season. Usually that stuff doesn’t bother me, but it was a really bloody fight.

Xfiles had one episode where this paralyzed women choked to death infront of her parents. I don’t like seeing things like that.

 

Yeah courage the cowardly dog was a freaky show. The most freakiest episode I remember was this human sized hamster pretending to sell vacuums, and it was sucking people inside the vacuum which was making the people the size of hamsters, then it was putting the people in hamster cages etc.

 

Some movie, I don't know his name.
I think it's about some two assassins who retired from that job and somehow came back again. Then they kill some people and at one point attack some cult. They fail to kill them all because there are many of them and then those people from that cult start chasing those two killers.
I don't know why, but while watching that movie, I felt very uncomfortable

 

I remember going to see Rambo 4 in theatres for my friends 13th birthday. Couldn't believe the amount of disgusting gore in that movie. My friends dad must have been thinking what did I just let these kids watch..

 

My schizo friend showed me a gore site before. Didn't bother me, but my childhood was rough so...eh. My sense of humor is quite morbid as well, so that helped.

I often find reality disturbing. Like what was done to the Japanese in America.

Same... Real life is the real freakshow, if you are observant and not live a sheltered life.

 

This one would say that he has lived a fairly sheltered life, did not stop him from walking in to his cat eating her kids...probably should have fed her more often...
