    The original Pet Sematary. Sister Zelda. Can't handle it. I have a ridiculous, likely unfounded, fear of contracting spinal meningitis so it makes it even worse.

    I'm going to give a little bit of context to my post, because while I̶ ̶d̶o̶n̶'̶t̶ ̶s̶p̶e̶c̶i̶f̶i̶c̶a̶l̶l̶y̶ ̶h̶a̶v̶e̶ ̶a̶ ̶m̶o̶v̶i̶e̶ ̶t̶h̶a̶t̶ ̶h̶a̶u̶n̶t̶s̶ ̶m̶e̶ (actually, I'm coming back this sentence midway through writing this post, and I'm realizing now that these movies do bother me, but I haven't thought about them for years and didn't have the emotional capacity to be able to grasp how truly terrible these movies were at the time that I was watching them), I have seen a lot of the "most disturbing" horror films so I feel like I could do a somewhat interesting type up of my experiences with the genre.

    I'll start by saying, I found the internet early. I know most kids my age had access to computers, but my ability to navigate the internet was much more advanced than most of the people I knew in my age group. I found out about 4chan late into middle school, and by association, saw a lot of gore. You know, the corner of the internet most people actively avoid- but I found it fascinating for some reason. Here I was: basically a child with a developing brain, watching these terrible, terrible things. People blowing their brains out, people getting decapitated, you know, the works. This started my interest into the horror genre.

    I would watch scary movies on the cable I had, but the only thing I could think while watching these movies was that all of it looked fake and cheesy. So I started my search to find what I had considered (at the time) real horror movies. Movies where it actually looked like the person was being murdered, and there absolutely is a subgenre of horror that caters to it.

    If you do decide to watch the movies that I'm going to talk about, just know, the reality is- they're terrible. Not just terrible in the sense that they look realistic and actually look like people are getting hurt, but just know that they don't actually have substance to them. The plotlines are shit, the only appeal is that they are just "disturbing". These directors don't know how to make good movies, they're just out there to make the most "fucked up shit" they can.

    Anyway, the movies that I found to be the most disturbing:

    August underground mordum.

    I believe that there are three of these movies, and from what I can remember it's similar to the found footage genre. These people go around murdering people in unnecessarily evil ways. A scene I remember specifically was a man stabbing a person in the stomach, eviscerating them, and fucking the hole created by the stab wound.
    That's it. That's the movie. Killing people and doing it in the worst ways the director could think of.
    Fun fact- The director was actually arrested for transportation of obscene materials into another country. I believe charges were dropped, but could you imagine what the investigators were thinking watching this shit that he created? Dude was seriously a fucking sicko.

    A Serbian Film:

    This movie plays on the fact that sex is a very exploitable topic for fear. The main character is a pornstar, if I remember correctly- he either about to be or actually was retired, but was considered "one of the best" at what he did. Someone gave him a financial offer he couldn't refuse, so he decided to make another porn movie not really knowing what the "theme" of the porn was about. They ended up giving him some drugs, and he goes through and partakes in the worst deviant sexual acts that you could think of. Necrophillia is an example, and at one point he was having sex with something that he cannot see. It is then revealed to him that he was having sex with his own infant son. A literal baby. The person who created this shit-fuck pile of shit of a movie decided that it wasn't fucked up enough, so they had to add in an actual baby getting raped by his own father. I don't know what kind of nasty fucker thinks that makes great entertainment, but they did it, and released it for the world to see.

    Irreversible:

    From what I remember, this movie actually had a decent plotline to it, and had a lot of interesting concepts that made the film unique (for example parts of the film were intentionally made in a way to induce vertigo to the viewer, and the plotline is reversed, so you don't get character development until the end which is unusual) . I think this was a good movie (but please don't take my word for it, it's been so many years since I've seen it, I was very young, and now that I'm an adult what I consider "good" is significantly different).
    The premise of the movie is that the plot is in reverse. If I remember correctly, this is about a man seeking revenge. Since the plot is in reverse, you see the revenge part at the beginning. The movie starts off with a man getting his face absolutely beaten in by a fire extinguisher. Yes, you see this stuff in normal movies, but what makes the movie irreversible so fucking disturbing is that they extend the fucked up parts to last so long, it feels distasteful. Good writers can make you feel uncomfortable by bringing up a disturbing themes subtly, and I feel like the type of writers who are able to do that, make more of an impact on the storeline than the ones like the movies I mention above that just go nuclear and just flat out fuck shit up.

    So the dude gets his revenge, you learn why he needs to get revenge- which is because his pregnant girlfriend gets raped. This is where I go back to my point about extending the fucked up parts past the point that it needs to be. The rape scene is NINE MINUTES LONG. NINE. There is NO reason to make it so long. Absolutely none. I can handle rape scenes in movies, and sometimes it's necessary to be shown for the story line. But nine minutes is far too long, the viewer got the point long before the scene ended. They could have easily made the scene 20 seconds or less and moved on, but the director kept it, and made it incredibly disturbing and brutal. Then you learn about the main dude and girls relationship, and blah blah character development (I'm runnning out of time for this post, so I'm just going to end it there and finish up my point).


    Anyway, there are more movies I could write about but like I said I'm running out of time, and I doubt many people will even care to read this long of a post lmao.

    At this point in my life, I no longer can do these kind of movies, gore, or even horror movies at all.

    I work in the emergency department now, and see real people get hurt real badly in real life. When I experience these things in real life, strangely, I feel emotionally neutral and I am able to leave work without the things that I see bother me. I don't have nightmares, I rarely have flashbacks, and I'm thankful for that and feel like this makes me the right person for the kind of work that I do. But, now that I do experience this stuff in person, I absolutely hate and feel sick watching these kinds of things. My best guess as to why that is, is that I compartmentalize my emotions when I see this traumatic stuff in person, and then the emotions explode out like a burst pipe when I see it on my own free time through various forums of media. I could go into further depth with my own psychoanalysis, but I gotta go to work now. Don't have time to reread it either, so sorry if it's a garbled mess LMAO.
