The film I just saw Oldboy by Park Chan-wook certainly qualifies. Genuinely disturbing initial premise simply becomes more nightmarish and frightening as the plot unfolds.
A business man, Oh Dae Su is kidnapped seemingly for no reason and held in a cell for fifteen years. It is when he is released, again seemingly for no reason, and begins to search for his tormentor that things really get scary. The violence, and there is a lot of it in this film, while it is shocking at times, is nothing compared to the implications of the plot as it reaches its final scenes.
Still trying to wash the unpleasant feeling out.
Great great movie though!
