I find this movie sci-fi movie scary because it shows how at risk mankind could really be if us humans were so invested in finding a cure for diseases and how much of a risk we would put mankind at for it. I also find it scary if apes got in full control and released their wrath because they really are interesting animals considering the fact us humans are evolved from them.

This film scares me... alot.

To me, that movie is scarier than Aliens or Dawn of the Dead or the Exorcist.

Why? Because of the choices that the powers that be make.
They decide our fate together, and because of those people, the entire planet is doomed.

Snuff- Seriously Lon?  That stuff was so fake that even at 16/17 years old I knew it was fake.  Unless there is more than one "Snuff" film.

Kids- eh, New York on a Tuesday.

The various Faces/Traces of Death films, where they showed people getting mowed down in accidents and stuff.  A lot those movies were faked (like the monkey brains scene), but the accident scenes were real for the most part.  When I was younger and dumber, I thought it was neat- now I know better.

Aronofski did this 2 years before Requiem For A Dream to which I agree with what eveyone said.

Well, I just re-watched it, and it wasn't even the movie I was thinking of! facepalm fail.  God knows what the actual film I was thinking of, could have sworn it had Ray Winstone in it.

War Zone (1999)

Brilliant movie.

Ya This is England was an awesome movie.Too bad the TV show wasn't better

Nil by Mouth - Can't remember very much about it (only watched it once a very long time ago) other than it is very bleak, very depressing / disturbing and deals with some very unpleasant subject matter.  I will watch this again soon I think, just to see if it still hits as hard.

Well, I just re-watched it, and it wasn't even the movie I was thinking of! facepalm fail.  God knows what the actual film I was thinking of, could have sworn it had Ray Winstone in it.  Anyway Nil By Mouth is pretty grim but still I think a fantastic piece of film making, the acting is great, it was Gary Oldman's directorial debut unless I'm very much mistaken (which given my recent posts is quite likely).

Thanks for reminding me... must watch KIDS

Kids, by Larry Clark.  Disturbed the hell out of me first time I saw it. 

Men Behind the Sun.  The inclusion of a live cat being ripped apart by a room full of rats and the footage of the autopsy of a real boy undermine the makers' stance that this is a "message movie" and lower it to the point of lurid, cruel exploitation.

Africa Addio (aka Africa, Blood and Guts) which is a "mondo" type film but far more gruesome and painful to watch than most. 

Bowling For Columbine punched me in the gut with a sudden an unexpected sequence featuring real-life deaths-by-firearms, including the televised suicide of Budd Dwyer in '87 (which I actually saw happen on live TV back in the day and never wanted to see again -- thanks, Michael Moore).

Salo: 120 Days of Sodom -- another supposed 'art movie" about vile, disgusting things

Snuff: A Documentary About Killing On Camera: while it doesn't feature any actual footage of murder, it does come quite uncomfortably close and the overall mood of the documentary and those interviewed cause this one to really get under your skin.  A fascinating watch, but it requires nerves of steel.
