Rumor has it Carston Frank had a falling out with the director Marian Dora over real life necrophilia scenes that were filmed for Melencholie der Engle. Now maybe that's just legend, but if there ever was a director that would get a real dead body and film necrophilia scenes with it, it would be Marian Dora. So who knows. I haven't seen the movie because the story description is not my thing at all, but have you heard of or seen the dark horror comedy Nekromantic? It is about a couple of necrophiles who have sex with a rotting corpse throughout the movie.

Eraserhead is such a nutty, bizarre film. But I do like it. Not really sure why. Maybe because it is one of the most creative and unique movies ever made. I have never seen a movie quite like Eraserhead or a movie that captures the feeling of a real nightmare as well as Eraserhead. Stanley Kubrick said he wished he had made it. That is some very high praise. I seen it twice now. I usually dont like really weird films like that, but there is something captivating about it.

That movie literally made no sense to me, until I read about Mel Brooks seeing it and concluding it's the adolescent fear of responsibility. That explains it a little better, but I still didn't like it.
I think for me the biggest WTF issue was the lady in the radiator, not so much her herself, but what the hell was with the Elephant Man cheeks? There is something about that specifically that doesn't sit right with me.

I saw it about the fear of becoming a father, so I don't completely disagree with Mel Brooks. The thing is that the movie isn't suppose to make sense imo. It is made like a nightmare and nightmares don't make sense, but they do often reveal fears from your waking life in abstract ways. That is what the movie is doing. The way everything is done in the movie is twisted for that same reason, the woman in the radiator and her cheeks for the same reason. I saw that as a twisted take on abortion, but that is obviously just speculation. She is squishing these things that resemble fetuses. You either like it or you don't, which is kind of David Lynch in a nutshell. I found it fascinating and extremely creepy.

I'm waiting for my interest in extreme horror to come back. I enjoy more less extreme horror right now. |

I'm waiting for my interest in extreme horror to come back. I enjoy more less extreme horror right now. I enjoy less extreme horror for a couple reasons. One of the reasons is that the more a movie tries to be disturbing the less interesting and scary it is. What I mean by this is that these movies set out with their main goal to be disturnbing and not much else. They often have few redeeming values and rarely have good stories or understand restraint. The old saying of "more is less." Henry is the perfect example of a movie that is disturbing and also a good (or close to being) a good movie, because it is interested in character. This is a movie that understands balance, drama and suspense. It has one scene that is extremely disturbing and also 100% perfect and brilliant in it's execution (no pun intended) and doesn't over do it. Overall the movie is more depressing than disturbing. Ari Aster is terrific at this and has so far shown himself to be a modern horror master. Though he begins with one very disturbing scene and then ends with another one. He cares about story and character and knows exactly how to weave disturbing scenes into his stories to enhance the visceral emotional experience he is going for with the movie as a whole.

A Clockwork Orange
Death Wish II
The rape scenes really unsettled me. I don't like them. Didn't hate the movies or anything. Indeed, I'm a fan of A Clockwork Orange, but those scenes of sexual violence make it a tough watch at times (though not throughout).

I generally avoid that sort of extreme stuff, I've not even seen Salo.
Most disturbing would be the two extreme mutilation/maiming scenes from Von Trier's Antichrist which is a film I otherwise love.

Its even more messed up.

I want to see that film but I cant find that anywhere. I did recently see Von Trier's The House That Jack Built which I didnt like but Matt Dillions performance was admirable.

It's sort of an uber-arty psych horror film, even more so than The House That Jack Built, so not sure which side it will fall on for you. As you liked Eraserhead, you may appreciate the more "nightmarish/otherworldly" quality it had. I liked THTJB, but like Antichrist more (it's my favorite from "Uncle" Lars). The two scenes I'm referring to are pretty wince inducing to say the least, but probably no worse than anything from A Serbian Film, etc.

Heard of it but have yet to see it. It's disturbing, too put it mildly. The rape scene is about 9 minutes long and the director just keeps the camera straight on it without moving away. It's interesting that Gaspar Noé chooses to tell the story backward - like Memento. The ultra realistic scene in Antichrist where the Charlotte Gainsbourg character carves off her clitoris - in close up, is both shocking and disturbing.

I stay away from these types of films so I don’t have a large set of films to list. I guess a few scenes of Caligula come to mind and Hostel. I’ve read plenty about most of the ones being discussed though and definitely won’t see Serbian Film or Salo.

Its even more messed up. I'm not sure. I saw it on UK TV and live in Ireland, so I don't know how ratings here correspond with the original US ratings. The rape scene was very detailed and brutal though. It certainly didn't come across as having been edited to soften the content.
