I thought that "The Last American Virgin" was basically disgusting. What's
interesting is that the original Israeli film on which it was based isn't
nearly as bad as you would have expected -- probably because it was set in
the late 1950's (or was it early 1960's?) and has a kind of period charm.
(At least it had enough charm to spawn, if you'll pardon the expression,
something like eight sequels about the further adventures of the three boys
that American audiences were spared.)

My all time most disturbing flick was Eraserhead. Another salesman and
I were working at Crazy Eddies and we each rented a copy of the movie.
I didn't see him again for two days. When I saw him I said he looked
like hell and he said he couldn't sleep. I looked like hell too. We
agreed that it had to be Eraserhead as I was also unable to sleep for
two nights. That crying baby still haunts me to this day!

Agreed. I absolutely hated that movie. Still, over the years,
disturbing images from the film would come back to me at the oddest
times. Maybe eight years after seeing it, it came back to a local
theatre and I went to see it again. Ten minutes into the film I
remembered how much I hated it and walked out, something I rarely do.
I accidently saw "the Incredible Shrinking Man" when I was about eight
years old. That completely freaked me out.

I saw it when I was about 8 and thought it was pretty shocking.

I was punning on the Marxist concept of the lumpen proletariat in my
reference to the fat (lumpy) boy who is aimless, thoughtless,
untrained & wholly unenlightened (the lumpen are the vulgar plebs who
can neither control nor contribute to their means of production; they
are theoretically unemployable).
It was a weak, silly pun -- but it was intentional.

The Clinton Chronicles provides evidence of Clinton's activities as a
drug dealer. This, I believe, is a different drug operation than the one
originally set up by Eisenhower and Queen Elizabeth in the 1950s.
IIRC, it also documents Clinton's activities as a multiple murderer
(Foster was apparently only one of his victims).

Some 1970s movies that will shock and stay with you are:
The Candy Snatchers
Thriller (aka They Call Her One Eye)
The Sinful Dwarf
Another 70s film "Lemora: A Child's Tale of the Supernatural"
(http://us.imdb.com/Title?0070300) was released under a variety of names. It
was eventually released to VHS in America with an interview with the
director. It is a film that can stay with you and even haunt your dreams
years later. I don't know if it is the lousy titles or the fragments that
people remember seeing late night on tv that cause them only to recall bits
and pieces. It's not a GREAT film but it does stay with you.

AUDITION (2000), directed by Takashi Mike. Dread-inducing from the
start, and if you can sit straight through the excruciating last
forty minutes without liquor, a bong, or _anything_, you are a good

disturbed me until I found that I didn't want to park near a truck or van
for weeks after, and found myself being suspicious and wary of even the most
innocuous persons (which, I guess, maybe is not a bad thing.)
And then, of course, there's "Das Boot".... the most claustrophobic movie of
all time, the one that sent me and hubby running to the car afterwards to
run down all the windows and just drive around for over an hour, breathing!

attempted suicide "allegedly" because of the music of Judas Priest. The
one survivor was left with his face blown off, but that's not what is
most disturbing. In interviews you eventually get used to his face, but
beneath it you get to know one of the most sad, tortured souls ever.

Miike's VISITOR Q is a disturbing look at an incredibly disfunctional
family, and even more shockingly, the harsh and brutal actions of each
member are strangely redeemed by the end.
If you're looking to be disturbed, or at least shocked, any of Miike's

Love the scene where Roseanna Arquette, previously busted legs in a
stainless steel pin & splint contraption, lowers herself into the
leather seat of a brand new Mercedes.

...after telling the car salesman that she wants to see if she can fit
into a car made for a "normal" body...and then she catches the metal of her
brace on the leather of the seat, and the sound of the expensive upholstery
ripping turns her and James Spader on so much that they have to run out to
his car and screw. Amazing scene in an amazing film.
But I never thought of it as "disturbing". I can't quite imagine why
anyone would. Some would consider it distasteful, I guess, and no doubt
enough people think it's pornographic; but to me a disturbing movie is one
that gets under your skin, that troubles you, like "The Vanishing" or
"Requiem for a Dream".

news:pyramus-6A95DA...@news.bellglobal.com...
First off: my english isn't that good, but I hope you understand what I mean
:)
What I find disturbing in this film is the 'evolution' of the characters.
When you look at the Ballards in the beginning of the movie they seem like
'normal' people with an very excesive sexlife. Then there's the crash, James
Ballard lies in hospital with major fractures which will most likely leave
scars. While telling him about the crashed car Catherine gives him an intim
wash, but he rejects her -> the wounds don't turn him on, in fact it's the
opposite.
The next important scene is the crash of James Dean. James seems very
confused by the act he just watched, he doesn't understand the meaning
behind it. And: it doesn't turn him on.
Then, the scene with the mercedes you just explained. He get's turned on by
the way the seller touches her and the position she's sitting in. What I
find important is the following scene, where they get busy in the car. James
get's attrackted to the big scar on her leg.
Then, also Catherine gets attrackted to Vaughan, especially to his scars.
Another Scene that I find important is, when they are all sitting in front
of the TV watching crashvideos and giving each other a wank. As the movie
moves on the Ballards seem more and more turned on by scars, blood and other
deformed material. In the same way they get turned on less and less by the
'untouched' human body, like befor.
There're much more scenes where you can watch the change in their attitude
and lust towards the violence and its destructive forces.
In the end, after Vaughens death, they imitate him, they get turned on by
the thought how he died and want to follow him, to get the ultimate sexual
kick. Also the sentence with which the movie ends is imo very important:
"Maybe the next one, maybe the next one." Thats the exact same sentence that
comes up in the beginning of the film, as James and Catherine talk about
their sexual achievments of the day (as you might remember, she didn't
come). For me that's a sign that they will go even further in their
methodes, until they'll also die in the search for the ultimate kick.
What I find disturbing is the fact how your surrounding gets into you and
your behaviour and you might don't even notice it (indicated by the last
sentence of the movie). Would I have gone the same path James did? It's like
James and Catherine got brainwashed by the presence of all the destructive
forces they are first exposed to, until they finally provoke those forces
themself.

Damn right!
I liked the film so much I bought the script.
Childs and MacReady might still be propped against the door frame like ice
pops but which one carries the Thing?
It would be easy to run a parallel to the Alien saga where the big guns come
from the mainland and want to take it back with them but veil it in so many
differences that most people would not see the parallel.

Seven
The Forbidden Zone
Session 9

The two scenes that "got" to me were scenes that it took me two viewings to
"catch". The first scene is of bodies laying on a table or slab. The
bodies are sideways to the camera so that all you see is an image of many
bodies laying side by side. The next scene is a bushel basket with heads
in it, like apples in a basket. It wasn't until the second viewing that I
realized that the scene with the bodies laying side by side, those bodies
had no heads, the heads were in the basket in the second scene. I cannot
get those scenes out of my head.

Most disturbing film I've seen is a small straight-to-video film
directed by Eric Stanze called SCRAPBOOK. It's one of the most
absolutely brutal things I've ever seen, so much so that most people
probably wouldn't be able to take it. But the violence is never for
exploitation's sake. The film was so haunting, I didn't get to sleep
at all for a couple nights.

Well terrifying wise, it's definitely Texas Chainsaw. But pure
disturbing, Eraserhead. Around the same time Faces of Death came out,
and that was pretty close. Of course now I've become jaded and and
can laugh at them today.

disturbing scenes I have ever seen in my life. Unfortunately the end was a
let down. Should have kept leaving before the end. :-)

case, Deranged gets my vote. I think it is from 1974? It tells the story of Ed
Gein, infamous necrophiliac serial killer. Kind of a low-budget thriller, but
is pretty disturbing nevertheless. The name of the killer is changed to Ezra
Cobb, but the story remains pretty close to the true story of Gein. Pretty sick
stuff.

It's not disturbing at all. It plays like a version of Monty Python
run by the radical left. As a comedy, it can't be taken seriously.
Passolini hated the right wing, and this was his shrill, ludicrous
portrayal of them.

And, if you've seen the last episode, you know what Monty Python thought
of Pasolini...

"Ludicrous", huh? It was Fascism that Pasolini was attacking, not your
beloved "right wing". Unlike you and me, Pasolini experienced the virulent
evils of Fascism first hand, and the fascist strain runs strong in Italian
politics to this day (do a search on the "Northern League"). Pasolini's
appropriation of De Sade (you are familiar with De Sade, of course?) was a
superb metaphor for the fascist mindset, which elevates brutality,
dehumanization and repression to the level of government policy.

cult Brit TV program from the late 70s called "Sapphire and Steel"
There was an episode with a chap with no face (like there was just a
blank where his face should've been)
A brief search of the web has revealed that it's Adventure IV, titled
(aptly!) "The Man Without A Face".
When I was a kid, this terrified me so much that I still get spooked
out by the memory of it!
As an adult, I'd say Blair Witch got me jumpy and Cube psyched me out.
