One that I found very disturbing that I never hear talked about is Red White and Blue from 2010. It’s less visually disturbing than Martyrs but by the end when you find out the whole story I found it pretty disturbing. And also if you’re ok with a documentary that starts out happy and gets very disturbing by the end, Dear Zackary is a good one. Answer from fsociety1990 on reddit.com

3 days ago - In a 2004 Artforum essay, James Quandt labeled a cluster of early‑2000s French films "New French Extremity", noting their blend of arthouse style and unrelenting body horror. Films such as Irréversible (2002), À l’intérieur (2007), and Martyrs (2008) typify this period's formal experimentation and nihilistic violence. Irréversible became the most notable of these due to its graphic 10-minute long rape scene and graphic violence in a scene where a man beats another character to death with a fire extinguisher.

Horrifying, Disturbing, Disgusting.
A Serbian Film is one of the most violent, sick and graphic films that I have ever seen, but I liked it. There were scenes in which I will NEVER forget, whether I wanted to or not. Take EXTREME caution, the scene with the baby is unbearable and hard to see. Certainly a sensitive person will be sick and will not like or even see this movie. I feel a bit guilty for watching this all the way through but definitely an unforgettable film that will disturb any and everyone.

I'm looking for something dark and weird. Think along the lines of Martyrs (the French original) as your litmus but could be any type: realistic, supernatural, sci-fi, I'm not picky about genre. I'm just interested in extreme horror.

October 20, 2023 - Low-key it may be compared with the jump-scare slashers, but this Ealing classic from 1945 is genuinely frightening: a portmanteau collection of five ghost stories, of which the most disturbing is probably the one directed by Alberto Cavalcanti, about a mad ventriloquist haunted by his dummy – a superb premonition of Psycho. ... Wouldn’t harm a fly … Psycho. Photograph: Allstar/Cinetext/Paramount · One of the great event movies of the postwar era and an inspired exploitation nightmare that sensationally took Hitchcock – then in late middle-age – to the next level of cinematic greatness.

10 Most Disturbing Horror Movies of All Time
Released in 2009, audiences weren't ready for this Dutch offering about a psychotic surgeon hell-bent on stitching three people together, mouth to anus, to create a horrific entity that shares the same digestive system. While it's not gory, the very concept behind The Human Centipede is enough to make viewers lose their lunch, and when it all comes together, and you actually see it on screen, it's one of the most disturbing images ever in a horror movie.

Irreversible. Dunno how you forgot to include that Anyway for actually lesser-known titles, Carver (2008) was way too sadistic for me. For lesser-known titles that aren't complete garbage, Kidnapped (2010) is very Gaspar Noe-esque except unlike his movies I actually like it
