Unsettling Films
The films listed here are movies that I found to be rather unsettling or disquieting with their narratives or plot climaxes. These aren't exactly considered "horror" movies, but rather, movies that leave you with an uncomfortable stress, a bleak pit in your stomach, or maybe even a sense of extreme existential dread. IMO, I think these movies are worse than horror films because they often give the viewer a herculean sense of commiseration, or a reflexive reaction of shared humanistic despair.
I will list the films in the order which I believe left me with the bleakest/most dreadful pit in my stomach, with #1 being the hardest to cope with and the last being the easiest to bare out of the lot.
Regardless of their intense thematic elements, these movies deserve to be seen at least once. You may find yourself completely repulsed at some of my suggestions, but you will ultimately have to admit that they definitely made you feel SOMETHING.
