Films That Are Way Too Disturbing to Watch

There is a subset of cinema that is interested in exploring the extreme, the profane, the taboo, the disturbing. A brand of movie that brands the viewer, searing their brain with unforgettable imagery and dissection of the most base and perverse human impulses — impulses which just might have something in common with the more "sanitized" form of screen violence we find acceptable. Some of these movies are made merely to shock with empty provocation; some have something genuine to say at their core; all of them will disturb you.
Here, then, are the most disturbing movies of all time, a list of transgressive cinema that will leave you shell-shocked and cowering.
