Years ago, I created a massive list of disturbing films on IMDb: https://www.imdb.com/list/ls009209730/
As of this writing, the list has 1,706 titles on it and easily the largest such list on the internet.
However, as many of you know, I was in prison from 2015 to 2024 and, as such, I was obviously not able to keep the list updated. Could you all please fill me in on the disturbing films that have come out since then? There's a list from /r/DisturbingMovies, but it's largely useless. It was made by Redditards, so it's filled with films that don't even remotely belong on a list of disturbing movies, like Watership Down and The Dark Crystal. To be on my list, the content has to be at least at R-rated level.
(As a side note, while I was in prison, I wrote a detailed outline for my own attempt at creating the most disturbing film ever made (partially inspired by the disgusting s*x offenders who I was forced to be surrounded by) - one that would not only far exceed every other "sickest movie ever made" in terms of on-screen depravity, but would also tell an emotionally devastating story filled with truly heartbreaking pathos. The fact that even the deeply jaded and desensitized prison staff were shocked and disturbed by it (and repeatedly spoke to me about it) told me that I did exactly what I set out to do.)

There was this japanese horror film I saw years ago where these women were experimented on with something that made pain feel pleasurable so they would like cut off pieces of their body and stuff. One chick deep fried her hand and ate it.

That was on the list from day one. The self-mutilation scenes are easily the most cringe-inducing in cinema history, even for battle-hardened horror buffs. And it's actually a shockingly good film.

For me, it's the classic exploitation splatter flicks which never pretended to have any redeeming value

Blood Sucking Freaks is actually the first film that I point to when I point to a film that has absolutely no redeeming value of any sort.

If you had actually seen the film that we're talking about, you would know that it's actually intelligent slow-burn medical horror, not misogynistic exploitation trash.
