Movies that weirded you out...
There are a lot of horror movies, and other scary genres out there, but which ones, have weirded you out the most? I will name three, of the scariest, weirded out movies, I have ever seen...

1. Jaws

2. In the Mouth of Madness

3. The Sound of Music....

All three of these movies have changed my life forever, they scared me, they frightened me...damn, Jaws changed my whole outlook on swimming!...

So, please share your weired/scary movies, thanks...:)

60. You're jesting.
Was it the Nazi flag? Or the innocence of Maria in the Captain's arms as they danced outside with the jealous fraulin looking on?

I know its probably repressed in the back of your mind...is there somewhere, think think think...:)

To be honest, I have never seen the Shining, I still plan on reading the book before watching it...I have heard some dissenting pov on which version is better, the Nichalson vs Weber versions...

5. there was one last year and the name escapes me right now
It had Matt Dillon as a racist cop. Also starring Sandra Bullock.
The part where The hispanic mans daughter jumped in front of him to protect him from a bullet not only wierded me out but Shocked the hell out of me..I was thrilled the gun was loaded w/blanks fighting the tears back was a bitch.

BE edited to death. The uncut, unsensored version is way too hot for regular TV

23. The funny thing is, neither one was a horror movie...
Edited on Fri Aug-11-06 04:17 AM by deucemagnet
Bitter Moon (I think it was a Roman Polanski film) starred Peter Coyote, Hugh Grant, Kristin Thomas, and some really hot French actress (I can't recall her name), and it was about four people in really, *really* fucked up relationships.

In My Skin is a French film about an attractive professional woman who develops a habit of self-mutilation.

Both were way creepier than many horror flicks I've seen!

On edit: Bitter Moon was by Roman Polanski, and In My Skin is better known by its French title, Dans Ma Peau. Here are links:

24. There was one IFC movie I saw
back in 2000 or so, it was about this...stalker guy, who hid in an older ladies house, and he documented all of her movements, and habits for a whole week, at first it was normal stuff, her getting dressed, watching tv, but then she started delving into other...well, lets just say, interesting, and crazy habits.

The stalker guy did nothing, he was like a researcher or something, it was nothing sexual, or messed up in that regard, it was just...an intimate look at someones personal/me time, put on display, and documented. Imagine someone documenting your habits and other behavior for a week!...

21. home
alone--spouse and kids out of town

I'd had my car rather mysteriously and potentially lethally sabotaged earlier that day

thunderstorm/blustery rain

dusk at the start--dark by finish

literally one second after the end of movie, my frigging phone rang

AND

the TV for some reason did not turn off when I turned it off. Instead, it gave me the ghostly, staticy image of whatever signal from channel 2 bled over into channel 3 (the DVD-watching channel setting)

You had to be there. I was IN the frigging movie.

I do not get scared. I'm like the ice man in dangerous situations. But I did not answer the phone.

29. It was very interesting, it just left me with a very odd feeling for a few
days. The kind of thing that sticks with you. Rita Wilson was amazing. All of the actors worked for scale. There is a scene near the end that is really intense.

It's one of those movies where you question yourself for what you are laughing at. :hi:

30. "Looking for Mr. Goodbar" believe it or not
The first time I saw it was on TV right before I went to bed. The murder at the end kept me up all night.

It's a good movie, but I've wondered if it's not a bit reactionary towards "women's liberation" in the '70s...seems to imply liberated women will be lonely, mixed up in a series of bad relationships, and will quite possibly end up brutally murdered.

32. I don't really like movies all that much.
I've become so sensitive to violence, I don't particularly watch them anymore.

However, the two that first come to mind that really weierded me out or spooked me are Trainspotting and Brazil.

41. "Out of the Blue", "Last Exit to Brooklyn" and "The Rapture"
"Out of the Blue" has Dennis Hopper in it, playing a beaten-down ex con in a completely deranged family. I forget who the girl was who played the main character, but she is forced into living the bleakest life imaginable. The ending is shocking but not surprising.

"Last Exit to Brooklyn" completely adhered to the integrity of the book by Hubert Selby Jr; it's supposed to look like this luridly-lit nightmare and it does. It actually succeeds in making hetero sex look ugly, the same way "The Ice Storm" does. This movie is physically and psychically violent.

"The Rapture" stars David Duchovny and Mimi Rogers, and is also satisfyingly bleak, for when you're in the mood (LOL). One of those "and I thought MY life was bad" movies.

;)

46. "Dead Ringers" and "Kids"
"Dead Ringers" starred Jeremy Irons, and I have to say he is brilliant. He played his own twin. Bev and Ellie are twins and famous gynecologists who go mad thru prescription drugs, role-switching with sex, and their fascination for a starlet who has a "freakish" reproductive system.

"Kids" bothered me intensely; not because of the plot, but because of the main character "Telly". I kept watching it, horrified cause these beautiful girls would actually have sex with this little toad. *shudder*

62. "Short Cuts" and "Crumb"
"Short Cuts" was a 2-cassette movie with surreal plots winding well into each other. The characters seem both "normal" and at the same time, obstinately bizarre. Chris Penn (for example) is understandably vexed at his wife for operating a sex line from their house, even in front of the kid. He reacts violently to it and it's like a dam bursting because he treid to keep control of himself for so long.

"Crumb" is about the artist, and it's a documentary that lets you know what's going on in the guy's head. It goes a good way into why his artwork is SO dark and theatrical. His family is really odd (his brother, I mean) and the footage of the brother is included pothumously in the film. Crumb's an environmental activist (which I liked)- you can tell by his references to "spiking trees".

65. Jeremy Irons WAS fantastic. IMO his Oscar for "Reversal of Fortune"
-- although he was fantastic in that, too -- was kind of, "Sorry, we are so sorry we overlooked 'Dead Ringers.'"

70. I HAVE "Reversal of Fortune" on tape, and I'm not exaggerating when
I tell you I had to buy a second cause I'd worn the first down to an absolute NUB!!! It's one of my top three movies. The only thing I can't wrap my mind around is Ron Silver being a republican! (He played such a great liberal lawyer in the movie-LOL!) Jeremy Irons is fantastic:

"You're an odd man, Mister von Bulow."

85. Remember the gynecological tools Bev was prepared to use
on his patients? *AAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!* You know what? I'm going to have to watch that again some time. I mean, I thought the acting was really good, and I do believe I've never seen someone go quite as insane as Bev. It really is one of the freakiest movies I have on tape. :scared:

"The Ring"- OK, I'll confess I never saw it til it came out on video. I saw it with a friend, and my phone rang at the same time the one in the movie did. I jumped a little. OK, a LOT!:o :hi:

43. "Beloved"...I still haven't recovered.
Edited on Fri Aug-11-06 10:18 AM by idgiehkt
also:

The Osterman Weekend
Truth or Consequences, New Mexico
The Cold Room
Bad Boys
Rocky Horror Picture Show (sorry)
The Bad Seed
Secretary (that movie made me NOT want to have sex, blech)
Kalifornia
edited to add: Sid and Nancy
and one that should have that didn't: The Good Girl. That movie should have been extremely twisted; if they'd had someone like Jennifer Jason Leigh or Juliette Lewis playing the lead.

The end of that creeps me out. And, it ends at a point where one doesn't expect it! So, at least for me, it is a sudden and scary end to a taut thriller.

51. The oddest thing about that is how quietly it left the theaters
I never even heard of it until it was on HBO or onDemand.

The chill I got at the end wasn't just what he did to his son but that they had everything EVERYTHING so planned out the whole time.


FREAKY!

48. The Wickerman (the original)
Is right up there. It's the movie that freaked me out the most recently.

I also remember watching Scream for the first time in the middle of the afternoon and being so creeped out by one of the final scenes that I was actually nervous/scared walking from my friend's apartment back to my car.

Oh, and Duel used to freak me out when I was a kid...That truck... :shudder:

50. SSSSSSS
http://www.horrorwatch.com/modules/news/article.php?storyid=466

".... The ending of this film was quite shocking and kinda threw me for a loop, it was really unexpected, fast and very brutal. SSSSSS is a classic example of what a bad B movie should be. Somewhat amusing and somewhat horrible, but can easily fill those wee hours of the morning between 3-5 a.m."

Edited on Fri Aug-11-06 11:54 AM by Shell Beau
21 grams. And I was weirded out by the movie Birth. It ended strangely. Scary movies rarely leave me weirded out, but those Haunting shows that come on Discovery are scary.

72. WOW, good pick! I'd forgot The House of Yes.
I would stay in a haunted house before I camped out in THAT one. Hey, what do you think of Genevieve Bujold? I've seen her in SO MANY movies, and I think she is absolutely stunning.

68. Silence of the Lambs, and the previews for "The Grudge 2"
Saw the previews before Talladega nights. The preview had people wimpering in the audience. When it finally ended some grown man near the back whispered "Is it over?" too loudly, and everyone else was so creeped out no one laughed.

98. Mondo Bizarro is similar, but had way worse stuff in it.
I wish I had never seen that movie. I thought it was just going to be just plain weird by other people's standards, but instead it was too weird even for me. I don't like the types of things that were shown in that movie, at least two that I can think of that involved animals. I wasn't expecting that. Some rich people are fucked up beyond all recognition. I'm still sorta traumatized by what I saw in that movie.

Texas Chainsaw traumatized me too. Maybe I should stick to Disney movies when I am in certain moods.

90. YAY! Finally, someone agrees with me.
I only saw it once, and that was 16 years or so ago, and I still have almost full emotional memory of that particular viewing, all the creepiness, sickness, and fear that I felt.

A truly disstrubing - but excellent - film.

99. Same here
I'd seen plenty of horror movies, but most were so out there that I wasn't disturbed after leaving the theater. (how likely is it that dead people are going to come back to life, claw their way out of their coffins and eat us?) But some people believe in demon possession and my husband and I attended a Mennonite church whose minister actually believed in that sort of thing.

My husband and I were very young (we were teenagers) and were seriously frightened by the movie. The night we saw it, we were talking about it in bed when we became aware of a man standing in our bedroom just standing there watching us. Terrified, we asked him what he wanted but he only stared at us. It occurred to us he may be a supernatural being, either a demon or an angel and we started to pray and that gave us the courage to switch on the lamp. There was no man, only something one of us had put on a hanger. It sounds so stupid now but we were trembling and stayed awake most of the night.

I would never let my sons watch that movie!

One moment they were trying to kill each other the next moment the same two guys were dancing in pink, lacy dresses to waltz music. It was frickin' weird.

107. "A Clockwork Orange" - couldn't get past the first 10 min. of that one.
"The Exorcist" - was difficult to get to sleep for some time afterwards.

"Natural Born Killers" - deeply darkly disturbing.

111. A few...yes, "Jaws" was one, but "The Mothman Prophecies" totally freaked
me out. Everything about it just got under my skin, even though -- overtly -- it's not really horror and even much of the suspense is subtle. The music, too, is instrumental (no pun intended) in sustaining the disturbing nature of the film. I had a waking dream and a dream dream after I watched it, and I have to say I've had more fun reveries.

I found it for sale for just a few dollars the other day and debated about buying it but -- well done though it was -- I just didn't know if I could bring myself to watch it again in a hurry. :scared:
