Your unsettling movies...

[mekkio]

I watched The Woman in Black last night and it was one of the creepiest movies I've seen in long, long time. The night Arthur stayed over the Eel Marsh mansion was unsettling. In short, I loved it. I am one of those people who loves to be scared out of my pants. And now I am looking for more unsettling movies.

What are your favorite unsettling movies? They don't need to be pure horror. Just that one film that leaves you with goosebumps. I am looking at recommendations on what to watch next.

Also, what was the last movie that made you sleep with the lights on? And what was the last film that was supposed to be scary but left you going, "That's it? That wasn't scary at all."

Carrie definitely goes on the unsettling list. The not scary at all? Mm, maybe "The Others". I loved it, but it didn't really scare me.

jacob's ladder, the original amityville, videodrome, just for starters. i remember watching amityville when i was just a teenager and i had to turn it off, it freaked me out so bad.

last movie i watched that really disturbed me... [REC], the first one. holy fuck.

Re: Your unsettling movies...

[caecilia]

Wishing Stairs, if you don't mind subtitles (or if you understand Korean). I wasn't bothered until the end, and then I slept with the lights on for a week.

I get jumpy even when I watch a terrible horror movie that I'm laughing at the whole time. Evil Dead freaked me out, Poltergeist did not. The difference was probably that after Evil Dead, I had to drive home in the dark, in a wooded area, but I watched Poltergeist during the day with my parents and it had commercial breaks.

Mindfuck movies are what get me:

Jacob's Ladder
Being John Malkovich
Eraserhead
Cemetery Man

'The Divide' isn't so much a mindfuck as it is really intense.

I can't think of the last movie that made me want to sleep with lights on... probably something with zombies.

Last movie that made me say "That's it?" Probably 'Audition.''

I'm not a fan of his work, but 'unsettling' seems like a very good descriptor for most of Stanley Kubrick's stuff.

I'm honestly too easy to scare, even movies I've seen over and over again can still scare me. Halloween (the 1978 original) is the last one that made me sleep with the lights on.

Re: Your unsettling movies...

[elaminator]

It. Holy shit, IT.

Re: Your unsettling movies...

[brightblueink]

Perfect Blue, but watch it in Japanese if you can. (English dub is...not great.)

There was also a sci-fi movie that had a really great, lonely atmosphere to it. Moon, I think it was?

Our fear-buttons are probably a bit different, as Woman in Black left me bored out of my mind, but here's a few of my favorites!

The Others
The Skeleton Key
Eraserhead (ho-ly moly)

For me, unsettling and scarey are entirely different things.

Unsettling: anything dealing with identify theft -- the "old fashioned" kind, where someone is literally trying to usurp everything about your life.

Scarey: anything with good and unexpected "gotcha" moments.

The last film I saw that was labeled horror and absolutely wasn't, was The Orphanage. It was just sad and sweet, in a supernatural way.

Re: Your unsettling movies...

Not scary so much as deeply unsettling: The Strangers (actually I found trailers/screenshots for this worse than the movie itself, but just the thought of people being in your home without you knowing it. Didn't help that when I saw it I lived in a very 'safe' part of the UK where everyone keeps their front door unlocked all day long and - as I'd recently found out - my brother had taken to going for walks at 4am and leaving the door open while everyone else in the house was asleep. Instant paranoia fuel)

Funny Games is another one that gets me in the same way: not exactly a horror film, but still creepy and unsettling for all that - things that could actually happen on a normal day in your life are always scarier than the overblown stuff most horror movies love to show, anyway.

(As for '...that's it?' horror films, my vote would be for Hitchcock's The Birds. I'm pretty sure I'm in a minority of serious horror fans there, though)

Treed Murray stressed me out man. u_u

Re: Your unsettling movies...

[childings.livejournal.com]

The original Wicker Man is sort of unsettling, but it also has more of a dreamlike quality to it. NOT THE NICHOLAS CAGE ABOMINATION, the original. Also, beautiful soundtrack

The original Alien is pretty fucking unsettling.

Re: Your unsettling movies...

[streetcake]

A couple of weeks ago I watched Mother Dearest one day and Sybil the next, so needless to say it was one unsettling weekend. :( Maybe real life stuff isn't the kind of creepy you're looking for, but you should give it a try.

Re: Your unsettling movies...

[partialsatyr]

i'm not easily unnerved by scary movies, but there's a few. jacob's ladder, eraserhead, and the blair witch are a few that come to mind. i like blair witch because it leaves a lot to the imagination (huge props for never showing the monster)

i have a love/hate relationship with horror movies. most strike me as lacking and disappointing. but oh man, i am just all about a good horror movie.

Re: Your unsettling movies...

[republicanism]

brb netflix queuing creepy moves in this thread

but for me, the green mile (because of ONE SCENE THAT SCARRED ME FOR LIFE) and the hills have eyes (the first horror movie i actually had to turn off because of how disgusting it was).

anything that has people getting burned alive also freaks me out.

Re: Your unsettling movies...

[st_jane_ambulance]

My favorite unsettling movie is almost definitely Blue Velvet, although a better term for it is probably "highly disturbing". David Lynch is good at that sort of thing.

There's also David Cronenberg's The Fly, which I find so unsettling I can't even watch it all the way through.

Re: Your unsettling movies...

[tabaqui]

A movie called 'Deadgirl'. Holy fuck, that creeped me out, big time.

Melancholia. Just... Melancholia. I almost felt like I was about to have a panic attack in some places, but it was like a trainwreck and I couldn't stop watching. It hit some of my deepest fears (and ones I thought were relatively uncommon, at that), but I couldn't stop thinking about it and I find myself wanting to watch it again.

Movies that didn't scare me at all: The Ring (the Japanese one; I never saw the remake) and Let the Right One In (I love it, but for me it's a tearjerker, not a horror movie).

Re: Your unsettling movies...

The anime short Stink Bomb from the Memories compilation. Traumatized for weeks; I just couldn't stop thinking about how that fucker killed the whole world without even realizing it. Comical short my ass, it was the creepiest shit to me.

Re: Your unsettling movies...

[(Anonymous)]

Unsettling: Event Horizon. I don't know but every time I watch that movie, I get a creepy feeling of something hovering just behind my right shoulder for at least half the movie. Always behind the right shoulder. I stopped watching the movie after the third time.

I don't get very scared at horror movies in general but they're not my favorite genre so I don't watch many anyway.

Re: Your unsettling movies...

[veronica_rich]

I like 1408. Also, The Ring is pretty creepy.

Re: Your unsettling movies...

[darkmanifest]

I'm extremely easy to unsettle when it comes to ghosts, so pretty much everything I've ever seen with a haunting aspect to it has fucked with me for weeks, if not years. Let's see, "The Grudge", "The Ring", the Hong Kong version of "The Eye" (I actually really enjoyed it more than I was freaked out, but it was still frightening, especially the elevator, oh, Christ, the elevator), "A Haunting In Connecticut", "The Amityville Horror" remake, "Saint Ange". That's just what I can specifically remember fucking me up.

The sad part is I'm always really tempted to see what I know I'll regret. I read the entire summary of "The Woman In Black" on Wikipedia to try and ruin it for myself, but nope, still wanna see it.

Re: Your unsettling movies...

[dm21]

Insidious. Fucking Insidious.

I had to sleep with the light on for like a month after watching that film.

Basically, anything with demons and possessive ghosts is guaranteed to scare the hell out of me.

Re: Your unsettling movies...

[citrinesunset]

I saw The Orphanage recently and found it pretty scary and a bit unsettling, but in a good way. I don't want to spoil it, but I think it affected me more because it had some particular scenarios that I find unsettling. I think if I hadn't liked the ending, it would have depressed/disturbed me too much. But as it was, I really enjoyed it.

I haven't seen it in years, but I always found 12 Monkeys pretty unsettling.

It's less so after seeing it a few times, but the first time I saw Mulholland Drive, I thought it was really unsettling. It's also one of my favorite movies.
