In terms of movies that disturbed me, Exorcist is up there.
I watched in 96/97 when the UK cinema ban ended. At the start everyone in the theatre was laughing and making fun of the special effects. And then, after a bit they shut up. I think no one was talking much when we all filed out.
I find the whole "made you jump" horror films very boring. Exorcist is probably the film I can most think of that that night when I laid in bed I couldnt get out of my mind.
That voice, and the scene with the crucifix, is many times more shocking (to me) than all the revolting torture and gore they show in these ghastly shock films like Saw and Hostel and so on.

The Thing and the first Halloween were very good movies in my opinion, but I dont know how well they would fare watching them a second time.
