the 8 most unpleasant films that, nevertheless, are worth watching

Cinema does not always play to please the feelings of the viewer — often art hits backhand and conveys the author's message with shocking methods. Such "vaccinations" can be painful, however, they achieve the goal — at least in our new collection, such tapes are collected. Sometimes creepy, sometimes disgusting — but exceptionally strong in spirit and seriously influenced the genre. If you have strong nerves — welcome!

The compositional solution of "Possessed", which was chosen by Andrzej Zulawski, is absolutely impeccable — so that the viewer literally plunges into the depths of bloody madness together with the characters of Isabel Adjani and Sam Neil.

The symbolism of hedonism is brought to the limit here, and the decomposition of "love" in the direction of Zhulavsky makes the hair stand on end.

A breakthrough from Takashi Miike, after which the director could no longer take such a bar.

"Kinoproba" was a real revelation for 1999-both in the genre of horror and detective drama. We will talk about the search for a bride — the main character, who lost his wife seven years ago, is determined to find a life friend again, but, alas," looks " will lead to unpredictable consequences.

Ken Russell knows how to build an atmosphere — and in this tape, the maestro clearly jumped over his head, literally filling the viewing hall with the era of the XVII century.

Vanessa Redgrave and Oliver Reed are absolutely organic in their images, and the story of the Catholic war with the Huguenots (in which both Cardinal Richelieu and Louis XIII are involved) best demonstrates what hell on earth is.

Pascal Falsier and ultra-violence on the screen are rather synonymous.

"Martyrs" will tell about a mysterious society that puts terrible experiments on people in an attempt to unravel the meaning of life. An exceptionally bloody story, however, by the end it acquires philosophical notes and asks very frank questions.

The directorial debut of David Lynch — the hero of the "Eraser Head" has a mutant child born and the nursing of the "monster" soon mixes the cards of sleep and reality.

Unique in its asceticism, the canvas is saturated with grotesque and monstrously terrible moments — however, Lynch not only revels in ugliness here, but also conducts a real Freudian experiment describing the horror of becoming a person in adulthood.

Ruggero Deodato's "Hell of Cannibals", stylized as a documentary, caused not only protests and courts — the tape, shocking in its naturalism, nevertheless, elegantly showed what the clash of civilization and nature leads to.

This movie about the search for a missing expedition in the wild jungle first became a sensation, and then it was banned in as many as fifty countries around the world.

Today, many people call David Cronenberg a brilliant creator, but in the seventies the maestro was just developing his style — and the picture "Brood" largely determined the director's signature handwriting.

The hero of the tape, Frank Carvet, is trying to understand who inflicted the wounds on his daughter — the investigation soon brings to light mysterious artificial creatures, but even such a curtsy will not allow you to predict the final twist. Which will be as powerful as it is disgusting.

We used to associate the name of Wes Craven with the original picture "A Nightmare on Elm Street", but, believe me, the story about Freddy Krueger, shot in 1984, will seem childish in comparison with what the director did at the start of his career.

"The last house on the Left" seems absolutely tooth-crushing, both in its drive and the intensity of passions, and the amount of ketchup spilled on the screen. Absolutely crazy movies, they don't do this anymore.
