The most shocking movie you've ever seen. The most shocking movie I can think of is "Apartment

[applegrove]

Zero". It was well done. Creepy when I don't like horror films at all. Colin Firth was in it. I usually see things coming and did not in this case (I figured out the "Crying Game" in the earlier scenes).

1. Requiem for a Dream

I don't think there is a better anti-drug abuse movie on the market as this one will shock and scare anyone enough to stop using them.

[rogerballard]

2. "The Comfort of Strangers"

For starters, I may add more to this later, it is a beautiful yet disturbing movie, don't want to spoil but for me one scene in the film was a gasp, hand over mouth type shock. Of course even Psycho to this day still has the shock value. The Comfort of Strangers also has an excellent cast: Christopher Walken, Helen Mirren, Natasha Richardson and Rupert Everett. Ok another one just popped into my head :"Surveillance" which I think was directed by David Lynch's daughter Jennifer Lynch.
Ok one more and The Dutch version of "The Vanishing".

3. A few more.....

Don't get me started on movies , after this I will let someone else chime in, "Alice Sweet Alice" with a very young Brooke Shields, not exactly a blockbuster, next up "Ghost Ship" the dance scene in the ballroom on the cruise ship, honorable mention to "Don't Look Now", some comedy shock "Jawbreaker" and "True Romance". Absolutely could feel both emotionally and physically the couple's ordeal in "Open Water".

4. "Wait Until Dark"

An oldie, but very effective.

My husband, who is normally very calm and who doesn't get absorbed in the story the way I do...jumped along with the rest of us when a very pivotal scene happened...

Truly scary. I do not recommend seeing it alone, just for that one scene.

[rogerballard]

5. Good One!

I totally forgot that one, I have seen it SO many times. Great cast and Henry Mancini did the music if I am not mistaken. I won a trip to New York a few years ago and asked some locals where "Wait Until Dark" was filmed and I actually went there and took pictures of the apartment (outside). I love Audrey Hepburn.

[CaliforniaPeggy]

6. How cool that you found the place!

Audrey Hepburn was amazing!

I only saw it once...so intense, I still remember it.

[rogerballard]

8. Amazing to say the least...

All of her roles she played, loved "Charade", "The Children's Hour", and believe it or not I have yet to see "My Fair Lady"
Audrey was a great woman, all that work for UNICEF, great humanitarian.

7. In the Realm of the Senses.

10. 'Cannibal Holocaust'; lovely music, though. n/t

[HopeHoops]

12. "Last House on the Left" (the original)

[Highway61]

13. I was going to say that as well

just thinking about it

[HopeHoops]

14. What's REALLY frightening about it is that it was based on a true story.

[Highway61]

28. I remember

I also remember not being able to sleep for a while after seeing it. Damn

[Noodleboy13]

16. Avoid the re-make like the plague.

My soul hurt after watching that one. Totally unnecessary.

"Surveillance", mentioned by another poster was good.
In the Horror Genre I recommend:

"May" dir. by Lucky McPhee
"Frozen"
"Peacock"
"The Loved Ones" this one's outta Australia.

peace,
Noodleboy

31. I've been warned about the re-make.

[Old Troop]

15. Believe it or not, "Invaders From Mars."

I was 8 or 9 when I saw it and the scenes of people being sucked into the earth where they were subjected to an implant into their brains through the back of their heads actually made me stop sleeping on my stomach so they couldn't drill it into my brain!

[Art_from_Ark]

25. I don't remember the name of the movie, but

When I was probably 6 or 7 years old, I saw a preview of a movie which had a scene where a green slime monster (a zombie, maybe?) was coming down the stairs of someone's house. That scene so freaked me out that I was scared of the stairs at my grandparents' house the next time I visited.

[ceile]

17. "Audition"

Recently watched "I Saw the Devil"- messed up film. Watched a good part of it through my fingers.

[RebelOne]

18. Psycho.

For a long time, I was terrified when I took a shower.

[Enrique]

19. "in the company of men"

also "Henry Portrait of a serial killer"

[YankeyMCC]

20. I think I have to go with "Ravenous"

http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0129332/

[mysuzuki2]

21. When I was in HS, around 1965, I saw a movie at an "art theater" entitledled

"Cinderella and the Golden Bra". Cinderella leaves her bra at the ball and the prince tries to find her ... Well, you can guess the rest of the plot. I was shocked! Absolutely shocked! I stayed and saw it twice.

[Curmudgeoness]

22. Pacific Heights disturbed me. As did Jaws.

Others that have already been mentioned, like Psycho and Wait until Dark.

[mreilly]

23. Paranormal Activity

I'm an adult male aged 40. I saw this movie a couple of years ago and haven't been able to bring myself to see it again. The beauty of it is the terror involved is so stark and untainted by any crappy special effects or implausible (I think) plot scenes. It's just horror, right in front of you. Something evil decided to mess with these people, and it did.

After seeing it I couldn't walk through my house - which I've lived in for 12 years - with the lights off. Sleep was tough and a couple of mornings afterwards I woke up at 6 am as my wife was up dressing and I literally couldn't recognize her for a few moments. I assumed she was a malevolent being trespassing in my room and as I sat there confused trying to decide what to do next then the memories came back and I knew who she was. Very weird and intense experience. But just like spicy foods I keep going back for more of this stuff!!

[Maine-ah]

24. Clockwork Orange

has always stuck with me. I was probably too young to be viewing it. Haven't watched it since, no desire to either.

[Aerows]

26. The most shocking movie I

HAVEN'T seen, but am alarmed that a human being can even think up such a thing for a plot is "Human Centipede". You'll have to google it yourself for a description of it because I'm not going there. What I read was plenty.

[WhoIsNumberNone]

27. I'm not easily shocked by movies

But I'd have to say the creepiest, most uncomfortable to watch movie I ever saw was Happiness.

Alien and The Exorcist were also pretty shocking in their day

[Tom Ripley]

29. Happiness is an uncomfortable movie

and, for me, that is part of its brilliance.
It is a comedy, but a comedy from a very dark place.
