I recently saw "Rampage" from 2009. Its basically a movie where a spree shooter is portrayed as the good guy/anti-hero. Several parts gave me that pit in your stomach, teeth gritting uncomfortable moment. I really hated it. Although I'm not surprised there are sequals I am disappointed and will not be watching them.

Irreversible. ~~Don't watch it.~~ Or rather... I recommend looking up first why it is so controversial and see if you think you want to watch it. If you want to watch it... It is a pretty brilliant way to actual convey the thing happening, but it is still stuck in my mind years later and I'm pretty sure I can never watch it again.

Came here to say this one. I saw it at a film festival in a theatre… ooof that was a lot. My buddy and I got high and watched Super Troopers afterwards as brain bleach. Didn’t work, still rattled.

Critical reception was polarised, with praise towards the performances and Noé's direction, but criticism towards its graphic portrayal of violence and rape. American film critic Roger Ebert called Irréversible "a movie so violent and cruel that most people will find it unwatchable".

Yeah, I think I understand where you're coming from on this one. Definitely not for the feint of heart.

Gaspar Noe in general. Sometimes (understatement) he's a bit over the top.

This thread deserves Dancer in the Dark. Another film that I love but cannot recommend.

Set up your depression-treatment space beforehand. You're going to be there a while. Beauty and tragedy so tightly bound that it feels monumental.

Also Breaking the Waves, another Lars Von Trier effort. A friend and I watched that and walked home in silence. Grim.

Yeah I never need to see that again
