What movies have really messed up your psyche? I'm not talking
depression, but full on psychological Post Traumatic Stress. Movies
you will never forget, but you will never ever want to see again
because they've left their mark.
Or something like that.
I think for me, the movie that exemplifies the wtf film is Welcome
to the Dollhouse. In it, a young girl lives a life of being completely
forgettable. And when you get to the end, you realize nothing is
going to change for as long as she lives.
A close second is Requiem for a Dream because, well, that look
on her face at the end. She looks so happy to have her heroin...
And finally there's Leaving Las vegas. Because, it's Leaving Las vegas.
'Event Horizon' messed me up pretty bad. I couldn't go outside after dark for a week after that.
Maybe I'm missing the point here though. The ending of 'Repo Men' gave me a WTF moment, pretty standard movie until the last 20 minutes. Aside from the scene towards the end, where the main protagonist and his GF are cutting each other open to read barcodes on artificial hearts, pancreas etc. All while high on some sort of drug....
And maybe 'The Happiness Of The Katakuri's'. Because zombie musicals are wrong......as long as I am on Asian cinema, I'll throw in 'Audition', standard love story until the last 30 mins, when it becomes a full on 'Miseryesque parade of limb removal and the wrong use of acupuncture needles. o_o
Altered States and AVPII - Requiem, not because it's a messed up film, but it's utter and my personal experience of watching it was ranting about how utter it was and my viewing of it ended up involving bottles of alcohol and me passing out for a few minutes mid-rant, because of how mind blowingly it was. It wasn't even bad in an entertaining way - it was just an epic pile of rancid
Fear and Loathing also springs to mind, pure quality

Wait, you passed out drunk watching AVP II Requiem, but have no
similar story for Fear and Loathing?

I thought AvPII was better than the first one....both were rotten, stinking corpses of films mind. It's just AvPII was a little less ripe
Frankenfish. I am still a bit scared by deep and murky water.
Also, Eye of the Beast (Ask mea bout fauna-horrer, I watch these all the time) a malignant giant squid in Lake Superior...odd, considering I love squids.

Yeah, Phantom Menace was especially bad. I spent the entire time wondering if it was a joke; at least when the second and third ones came out I kind of knew what was coming.

Watching the Phantom Menace is like watching a comedy short before your movie begins, but 20 minutes in you realize it's actually the movie.

I thought it was an unconformable bowl movement, I then realised what I was watching.
REC, or going by the remake, Quarantine. Now I saw REC, in the dark, with 3 mates. And I had an abnormal fear of the undead, still do to a degree. THh premise of the undead actually existing is terrifying...
So watching a spanish/mexican film about the undead in an apartment in the dark wasn't a wise idea. Just after the lights go out in the film and the blatent jumpscare... yeah, tears.
Vagina Dentata... What a wonderful phrase! Vagina Dentata... Ain't No Passin' Craze! It means no weiner... for the rest of your days! It's a penis free... girl cavity! Vagina Dentata!

Its well worth your hour and a half. Even just to see how fethed up it is.
No movie has really messed me up per se not on an individual level at least anyway. But possibly watching all the X files seasons when i was about 13 or 14 wasnt such a crash hot idea.
The microwave scene in Urban Legend freaked me out for a long, long time. I love dogs, so I almost instantly hate anything that involves the death of them.
Gummo...Holy hell I'd forgotten all about that film...I almost died laughing when I first saw it, just the " Rabbit scene" alone was worth the price of the DVD.
Watched it without knowing what it was about. Really wished I had just left it at the DVD store. Absolutely sickened me to the core.
Automatically Appended Next Post: To confirm my point (taken from wikipedia):
Tim Anderson of horror review site Bloody Disgusting likened the film to "having [his] soul raped" and dissuaded anyone reading his review from ever seeing it, writing: "If what I have written here is enough to turn your feelings of wonder into a burning desire to watch this monstrosity, then perhaps I haven't been clear enough. You don't want to see Serbian Film. You just think you do."
I know enough about The Serbian Film to avoid it. Like a less pleasant, far less humane, and longer 2 girls 1 cup.
Generally most of the films on this list are fairly tame. Nothing from experimental cinema has been mentioned. I would name some off, but they aren't mainstream. You wouldn't know them.
Funny Games.
Its just pointless, but then I think thats what the director wants you to think, i'm fairly sure his philosphy is 'Why are you watching this?'
Ahtman, how do you know we won't know non-mainstream stuff?

The Happiness Of The Katakuris and Audition are too mainstream? Pfft, I loathe movie snobs... "Ohhh, you havnt seen the latest (insert name of crappy Kahzakstani director here"? Why you simply must! The way he trancendends the life of a lonely oak is simply staggering dahling"....
Yeah, because the mainstream are always wrong, and films like District 13 and Bunny And The Bull are worthless because they didn't cost £1.20? Ahtman, there is a reason most people don't watch experimental cinema....it's 99% gak.

Jaws 2... purely because I was 5 at the time: I hate deep water, hate, hate, hate it even to this day!!! It was an appropriate family watch according to my parents... as was Aliens. (Both on T.V/DVD release of course, thought i can't remember which exactly.)
Since being 'grown up'... I'm not that much into horror films as they either bore the heck out of me or I start trying to rate the effects. Those I have seen are mostly mainstream-ish though so a lot of the others mentioned here would possibly get me rocking in a corner but as they have no entertainment value for me (pointless/shocker gore just makes me roll my eyes) I simply don't tend to watch them.
I'd probly end up in some sort of asylum if I did.

Comparatively, yeah. If your idea of mainstream is only movies like Transformers 3 than your perspective on the the medium is exceedingly narrow.

I take this as you being threatened by people who know more on a given subject. You might might as well tell a doctor they are biology slobs. You'd be surprised how a little knowledge makes you not care how much someone is upset just becuase they don't know something.

I'm not sure why you are singling out Eastern Europe when people are doing fringe work all over the world. Kind of an ignorant and not very well thought out statement.

Now you are just completely making stuff. I never said anything of the sort, just that, outside of The Serbian Film, almost everything on this list is not that eye-brow raising.
sarpedons-right-hand wrote:and films like District 13 and Bunny And The Bull are worthless because they didn't cost £1.20?
Again, just totally making stuff up.
sarpedons-right-hand wrote:Ahtman, there is a reason most people don't watch experimental cinema....it's 99% gak.
Add another 1% to that and that is how much of that sentence is "gak". Just becuase it isn't going to get a wide audience, and really it isn't meant to considering the nature of it, doesn't mean it is pointless nor bad. The real reason most people don't is becuase these films are not escapist (not narratives and more intellectual exercises), as requiring a real effort to actively seek them out. There aren't trailers for them and you won't see clips on "Bravo's 100 Scariest Scenes". It is the difference between reading Entertainment Weekly and Cahiers du Cinema.
I also never said people weren't allowed their opinions or said the movies listed were bad, just that in the broader scope cinema, they are fairly safe films.
I'm trying to think of a film that really mae me think about something in a whole new way, in a way that I had never considered before....
I honestly can't think of one right now.
However, the Phantom Menace did completely remove my die-hard love of Star wars. After that movie I simply never went back.

Ahtman, So are you eagerly awaiting "Melt With You"?
Seriously though, I enjoy how you can find films like the early works of John Waters as being 'mainstream'. Until the original "Hairspray", Waters was considered to be fringe and experimental.
Go find "Mondo Trasho", "Hag in a Black Leather Jacket" and "Multiple Maniacs", all shot in 8 or 16 mm, and get back to me about how 'mainstream' they are, ok?
BTW Disney's first full length cartoon movie, "Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs" was considered 'experimental'.
You really want to ride that elitist horse around here?
I can't believe how short the memory of this board is. Actually, I shouldn't be surprised at all. I am enjoying all of your misplaced hate. The emotional response over something so nothing, while simultaneously and easy reference to recent event events, is amusing.
And of course Jon Waters early works fell into the category, but seriously, Snow White? It was an experimental in the sense that it was a motion picture length color animation, but Experimental Cinema is an actual term, not two randomly shoved together words, and Snow White doesn't fall into the category.
Gosh Ahtman, guess I've been put in my place huh? That comment about Khazakstani film directors? That was the first place that came into my mind. It could just as easily have been Afganhistan or Italy. Or anywhere else for that matter. And it's sort of rude for you to assume that I know little or nothing about cinema, experimental (god how I disgust that turn of phrase) or otherwise.
You say that 'experimental' cinema has to be actively sought out? Well guess what, for the vast majority of people, so does Asian cinema.

Are you trying out for a reality show? It isn't about putting people in place.

Sorry, I just went by what you said and the lack of knowledge contained within. I'm sure you have some hidden knowledge that you felt it best to leave out of the discussion that topic.
sarpedons-right-hand wrote:You say that 'experimental' cinema has to be actively sought out? Well guess what, for the vast majority of people, so does Asian cinema.
Yes, becuase Netflix is so difficult to use. Twenty years ago that would have been true, and just like Experimental Cinema there were far fewer people watching it, but that is generally true of just about any foreign film. Outside New York and LA theaters that show foriegn films, art films, and older films are few and far between. I also never said that it was the only element of the thing, just one reason why. I did give another as well, but even then it isn't meant to be a comprehensive list. You, my friend, are a strawman making machine!

Would you like to define "Experimental Cinema" for us uncultured heathens then?
Maybe I am.... You know what, I'm tired of pointless disagreements over the Internet. You like Experimental cinema, I don't. That's all there is to it really....
I apologise if I came across as a 'strawman', not what I intended. I bow to your superior knowledge, go and enjoy your arthouse cinema and leave the mainstream bollocks to the rest of us, hey?
Welcome to the OT ladies and gents, the EPeens dont get much bigger then the ones around here.
I guess I can try and add a WTF movie to the list.....................uhm...............let me think here..... I remember as a youngster my parents watched a movie called Naked Lunch. It was a long time ago, and I honestly dont remember the movie at all, so it could be good for all I know, but I snuck a peek and the part I saw, was a gay love scene between an Indian boy I think, maybe asian, and some creepy rich guy. Well the rich guy turned into some freaky fething monster thing, and ended up eating the younger dude instead.....maybe he did it Mantis style I dunno, I just know it has stayed in my brain, and really fethed me up over the years
Sorry Ahtman but if you have any wtf experimental movies you've seen, you should name them - not sharing knowledge because 'we don't know/may not know' is pretty silly. If you took the time to be a little more positive and share your knowledge/experiences of these movies with people it could only be a good thing. As it is you are coming across as a little elitist - which isn't necessary.
I've just thought of another one, I'm not heavily into my anime/manga but UrotsukidÅji was something else the first time I saw it. I stumbled across a VHS copy in a charity shop without knowing anything about it. I can't think of any other film which starts with a demon orgy anyway
Demon orgy? I have an anime that has one of those in it.......dammit I cant think of it right now. Uh, battle between good and evil, the earth we know and the dark place where the others live. And uh, theres a "police" force that protects us from the evil bad guys, and the main character wears a black suit, and has a cool ass gun that just blows the gak out of things. And his partner is an agent from the other side...so shes got special powers or something.
I know I probably just vaguely listed half the anime with demons in it but hey, I do what I can

Naked Lunch is awesome... nothing like drugs and bugs to really freak some folks out.

Yep, that's it all right. I just got the title wrong . It is in fact "Legend".
Lasting Impressions:
Blue Velvet
Clockwork Orange
The Original Chainsaw Massacre
Twin Peaks (TV SERIES) Season 1
Donnie Darko (Awesomesauce)
Pure WTF:
Muhulland Drive
Lost Highway
Twin Peaks (TV SERIES) Season 2
Fire Walk with Me (Twin Peaks movie)
No Country for Old Men
Eyes Wide Shut (WTF, Seriously...)
Movies that have left permanent scarring:
Pink Flamingos
The Human Centipede
Weirdest film I've ever partially seen was Hausu (House) by Nobuhiko Obayashi. Absolute insanity the entire way through. It has pianos eating people and making rivers of blood flow from the drawers of a cabinet... just insane.
Death Bed: the Bed that Eats is a great one, stupid the entire way through and the director Must have realized it. Despite this though it still holds a special place in my heart as it shows the limit of filming potential, which is none.
The most inspirational for me though was Yes Man. Amazing movie that I watch with some friends at least once a month, highly recommend to Everyone ever. Say YES! to a great film
Somehow I had forgotten to put in here Kakurenbo (Hide and Seek). Very disturbing way of demonstrating a powerful message imo
So I finished Pink Flamingos and I find myself thoroughly not scarred. There were several things I'd never done in there, but the only part that was kind of shocking was what they did to the cops. Divine's mother was the creepiest part for me. I felt like it was kind of a waste of time because the story really went nowhere. This so-called Serbian Film intrigues me now. Will I feel the same after watching it?

What do I get if you're wrong?
Considering they are radically different movies, even if you don't have a profoundly negative reaction to it, it will still be different since it is a different thing.
The original Solaris. Every time that that film's shown at 3am in the morning on Film 4, that first scene with its long shots and the astronaut making his case with all the diplomats and generals treating him like a fool is prett unerving. In fact most of Andrei Tarkovsky's work's pretty trippy (and don't even start me on Stalker).
Other Russian films like Burnt by the Sun and Siberiade (both with Nikita Mikhalkov starring) are also pretty screwed up with all their political metaphors and making you realise just how screwed up humans can be. Not to say that I don't just adore any of the films...but yeah Russian cinema's produced some jems . ^^
I was disappointed by that film, it wasn't really that fethed up and the main character was downright stupid at times. The end wasn't satisfying either.
I watched Gattaca back in 2003, and that movie made me think A LOT. The idea of man manipulating genetics is truly mind-boggling, and it gets even crazier when we get into human augmentation a la Deus Ex.
I certainly did say "what the feth did I just watch" until I looked up the details behind the plot of the movie, and the idea of Transhumanism.
The movie Audition
The movie Martyrs
Both need to be seen, Martyrs flipped my wig for sure. Audition was one of the first Japanese horrors i saw, really good one to start with because it set the bar really high.

See I liked the film, and I LOVE the book. I've read it many times.
Bateman is, essentially, stupid. An empty vessel. He's like a shark, just fins and teeth. Apparently, Bale based his portrayal of Patrick upon an interview he saw of Tom Cruise - "all false friendliness, with nothing behind the eyes".
I think Christian Bale captured the essence of Bateman pretty well, though the Film is heavily sanitised.
The life aquatic with steve zuzu. I've seen disturbing, I've seen 'experimental'. That movie was so bad I repressed most of the memory. Which is quite the shame as it had such potential with that cast...
Other than that I think Devil's rejects made me go 'WTF?!?' The most. Rob Zombie is a god. He had me feeling for those psychopaths by the end of it. You saw how horrible they were. What they found 'fun'. And it would have made Slaanesh proud. But by the time the movie was over he had you going 'oh those poor people', and you WEREN'T talking about their victims... that's what made me go wtf.
It was advertised to me as a musical. I went to see it. 3 people walked out in the first 5 minutes. When I came out of the theatre I STILL did not know WTF I had seen.
edit : The worst is this is actually a sequel. I dare not watch the 1st movie.

I personally dont get why so many people like Devils Rejects. Are you guys just saying you like it because its a cool thing to say or what? Because I just cant see it, it really is a steamy pile of dog vomit on a plastic disc. The story was terrible, scenes just rolled onto each other, made little sense. It really just felt like gore porn, How far can I go, and still get it approved by the ratings board, thats how it felt to me.
Which was a shame because I loved House of 1000 corpses. Infact the wife and I have an autographed DVD set from Sherri Moon and Rob himself. But that movie just sucked ass. I feel the same way with his Halloween movies. The first remake was just awesome, such a good remake, and his 2nd version was a steamer as well. Thats the real WTF in this thread
Really? I hate gore porn. Rejects... well it made me feel for the psychos. The way it was done, that's what did it for me. But I get that not everyone got that either. I much prefered it over 1000 corpses.

Interesting note, 'Gattaca" represents the nucleotides that make up DNA sequences.
and my personal experience of watching it was ranting about how utter 
. It is in fact "Legend".
