Recent Movies Many Found Too Disturbing To Finish

From wildly unconventional sci-fi creepers to twisted tales of demonic possession, we've got a little something to unnerve even the savviest of shock-adoring cinephiles. These are the most disturbing movies of the past decade.

If you've entered the earth-shattering rabbit hole of Jonathan Glazer's music videos, you already know the director has a particular penchant for pushing boundaries with unsettling imagery and ominous tones. One might even say Glazer revels in the bewildering as few directors dare. It's only natural, then, that he'd continue weaving challenging images and disturbing themes into his feature films.

Few would argue that Glazer hadn't already tested some serious boundaries with 2000's searing crime drama Sexy Beast and 2004's psychosexual mystery Birth. But neither of those films could even begin to prepare us for how Glazer would push things with 2013's Under the Skin.

It's a full-on assault on the senses from its opening moments to its last. It features a revelatory performance from Scarlett Johansson that's about as far from the MCU as you can get. And there's a scene about halfway through that's so relentlessly unnerving you'll struggle not to turn it off. Keep watching, though, because even if Under the Skin often feels like a movie you survive more than watch, crossing the finish line on this extraterrestrial odyssey is also one of the most rewarding cinematic experiences you'd ever hope to endure.

Argentinian filmmaker Gaspar Noé has made quite a reputation for himself over the years. More than just about any other director with a film on this list, Noé has made it his personal quest to shock and provoke. He broke minds and pushed viewers to the limit with the hyper-violent, emotionally punishing reverse narrative of 2002's Irreversible, but it seems he had a different sort of head trip in mind for his third offering, 2009's hallucinatory pseudo-afterlife drama Enter the Void.

Noé opens the action with a drug-dealing French expat with a penchant for wild hallucinogens meeting his end in a Tokyo bar. Upon death, his soul is cast free of his body and meanders through the film with an unknown goal in mind. Noé captures said soul's every meandering, post-life moment in an incredible point of view shot, his camera floating in and out of moments, memories, and molecules like an omnipotent specter. And yes, that boldly stylistic approach is as breathtakingly brilliant and immersive as it is doggedly disconcerting. The result is a film that's as oddly calming and thought-provoking as it is vividly adversarial not to mention as mind-bogglingly original as any film produced in the past decade. Keep watching the video to see all the recent movies many found too disturbing to finish.
