I've got a dark side of me and have been trying to find the most disturbing movie ever made - as in gore/horror whatever. "Faces of Death" and other 'real' death movies aside, what is the most disturbing movie ever made?

"Men Behind the Sun" (1988) http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0093170/
Some say this takes the title. The effects are dated, but i can see how it can be disturbing, especially since it's Chinese made and they are more 'liberal' in what they can film. For example one scene shows a real autopsy of a real human ("Shocking!") but Hollywood would have to spend $5000 on a fake body that looks just as real, so that didn't really bother me. Then another human cadaver is used in a pressure chamber and you get to see what happens to a human body under high pressure, and that's a little disturbing. Also there's a nice long (and unnecessary) scene where they allow a live cat to be devoured by rats. So from the PETA standpoint, sure that's disturbing but still not enough to take the prize for me.

"Cannibal Holocaust" (1980) http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0078935/
Until i saw the movie i mention below, this did it. Very realistic/gory depiction of Cannibalism. The This movie was banned and the director arrested when it came out because they thought that real people were killed in it. Very realistic, as you're watching it you swear you're watching a snuff film. The story itself needed some help, and I guess in the 80s people liked killing animals for more shock effect because there are some more unnecessary (and long) scenes of butchering animals. But it's "good and disturbing".

BUT THEN I WATCHED "CANNIBAL" (2005) http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0910548/
Let me give a disclaimer: YOU SHOULD NOT WATCH THIS MOVIE. Now, having said that, if you want to watch the most vile, disgusting, disturbing movie ever made, this is it

. It's based on the real life event of the German Cannibal Armin Meiwes who solicited a willing victim over the internet to be cannibalized. Just Google his name for the story. This is NOT a horror movie, so if you're just a horror fan, steer clear. Everyone knows what will eventually happen; There's no scary killer chasing anyone with a machete.
So the movie itself is very well shot - nicely filmed, good directing. The actors are decent enough, nothing great, but it doesn't really matter - there's maybe 10 sentences of dialogue in the whole movie. It's basically 1) they meet 2) they have lots of gay sex (some reviewers stop here and bitch bitch bitch, but if you don't like it just Fast Forward it geez) 3) then the killing commences. And what happens in the movie happened in real life. I watched the beginning of the mutilation with my mouth wide open - it's disgustingly realistic. Before too long you think you're watching a 'how-to' video on 'how to skin a deer' or something. Brutally realistic.

If you want to watch some truly graphic scenes, rent this. If you're looking for a scary "Friday the 13th" horror film, stay the hell away from this - you've been warned.

I give this FIVE STARS!!!

Truly disgusting!
