I genuinely regret watching the House that Jack Built. I'm not normally that affected by film violence but that got me at multiple points that I felt sad and uncomfortable with. I suppose you could argue that's the point but it's a movie I genuinely wish I didn't see

Only films I regret watching are ones that left zero impression on me and I forgot about immediately. At least a bad movie will stay in your memory.

Isn't regret a form of impression?

The worst part about cannibal holocaust other than the irl animal abuse is all the rape stuff they stick in there. I get the point they’re trying to make - the main characters are basically presented as sociopathic while feeling morally and intellectually superior to the natives - but the scenes in question just feel gratuitous

JoeRules posted:The Poughkeepsie Tapes This is one of the only movies that I wish I hadn't watched. There are plenty that I didn't like or felt like it wasted my time, but Poughkeepsie made me actually regret the act of watching it. Like, I'll most likely never watch Martyrs again, but I didn't regret watching it. Oh, I guess also the second Human Centipede. It went from the first having no value, to that one having negative value, back to the third being just stupid. The second one stood out, to me, as the worst of a pile of triple poo poo.

The director had a crazy idea for a film and actually nailed what he was trying to do. It's competently made and has a unique passion behind it. I mean it's fowl and grim and hosed-up but I wouldn't expect anything less from it's concept. It's not a watch for everyone, though, for me it's a "wow, not only did this actually get made but they achieved what they set out to do". I mean, if you don't like this film or even hate it I respect that. It's just this is just a unique specimen and I have to see it as that. The next two films are trash. The second is an edgelord exploitation movie and the third tries to go for dark meta comedy and fails. I can't defend them.

The Infernal Rapist is the film that made me feel the worst of any film I’ve ever seen. A serial killer is executed and is returned to life by Satan and given superpowers with the stipulation that he use them to commit serial rape. Which he does, in a series of scenes played for laughs/prurience/horror, like tonally I had no idea what to make of the thing and I left a whiny review on Letterboxd with the only half-star I’ve ever given out, but I felt deeply depressed watching it. I’m normally reluctant to watch films featuring sexual assault, but for some stupid reason I wanted to push my trash boundaries with this one, and, yuck, dumb idea. Every other reviewer on LB seems to think it’s hilarious bad movie fun though.

That starts out sounding like a Spawn spoof, but with some, uh, Choices. I'm afraid to look it up because I might end up on some list, Jesus.

I was watching some Golden Era movies from the 50s and 60s for some research I was doing and one thing that really jumps out at you is how much these leading ladies get utterly manhandled all the time. Even in lighthearted comedies these poor women are constantly getting shaken about by the shoulders, roughly spun around in circles, their arms practically ripped out of their sockets by men. And all the while they have to pretend it's the most romantic thing that's ever happened to them!

This is a fantastic example of how coded this kind of thing was, to the point where this treatment (along with "sometimes you just have to slap a woman!") was like a byword for masculinity.

Threads (1984) The movie is about the prelude, enough to care about the characters, then aftermath of a small city in the UK after the Cold War turned hot and the uk was hit by nuclear bombs. The ending is a woman in the post fallout countryside giving birth to a stillborn irradiated baby and then wailing into the camera as the movie ends. Just a completely depressing movie about a still very on the table potential future. Edit: I think that the baby was also the result of a rape fr0id fucked around with this message at 01:18 on Jan 30, 2025 |

Bone Tomahawk. Perfect casting, acting, plot, and production values. Then THAT scene happened. I have seen gore and sadism in movies, and even though I don’t like it, I can tolerate it. Here, it was completely unexpected, which left me feeling nauseous afterwards. gently caress that movie.

It's funny, I just watched that movie and I kept waiting for the scene everyone said was horrible. And I kept waiting, and yeah there was some gory stuff, but then it ended. I didn't know I was that impervious to gore.

It's pretty gnar, but the whole movie is so oppressive and foreboding, so it might not be a total tonal shock. But probably you and I are irredeemably desensitized to gore.

CelticPredator posted:It was a great gore scene. Gave the movie that exploitation edge It’s the center piece of the whole movie. The only thing about Bone Tomahawk that I regret is having the uneasy feelings I had about its racial politics confirmed later on. Good movie though, great chemistry between Jenkins and Russel, I just wish the exploitation stuff was as tongue and cheek as I originally thought

Just getting these out of the way: Old Boy - Makes you queasy. Amores Perros - Makes you want to hug your dog. Grave of the Fireflies - Oh my God, these poor kids! Kids - Oh my God, these poor kids! Lesser known: Cheap Thrills - A profoundly cynical movie that's not fun in any way and feels you leaving like a worse person for having successfully completed it. Capitalism sure does suck. We're All Going to the World's Fair - Well, it's a pretty good movie though a little muddy in what it's trying to say. A few of its scenes are stuck in my head forever -- haunting in a way that may only resonate with some, but to those it will imprint itself. I think this movie gets a reevaluation and cult following sometime, despite its flaws. Bernie - Lesser known Jack Black role where he plays a weird quirky dude (sinister) instead of a weird quirky dude (affable). There's something about the way this film is directed that makes my skin crawl, with a (based on a true story) plot to match. Will avoid it for the rest of my life (which is, well, super easy to do).

The Hunt. A film where Mads Mikelsen plays a primary school teacher falsely accused of being a paedophile and what happens to his life. It is so phenomenally uncomfortable to watch we turned it off like 15 minutes in. I still feel psychic pain thinking about it. 5 stars, objective achieved.

I regret watching Black Swan. I finally got around to watching it last month and had I not watched it with my girlfriend I would have turned it off. Great cast but the actual movie was just so loving stupid. It wasn't a particularly interesting or new story and having it set up around a high society ballet performance really took me out of it. I think the ending was pretty funny though.

Credit where it's due but Gallo went back and re-edited it making it a better film and Ebert acknowledged that.
