Just reading through all the movies that scared us as kids got me thinking.
Last house on the left (the newer remake, not the 1970s version) is mine. I was totally not expecting the rape scene and when it never seemed to end and the camera never turned away, I was horrified. I had nightmares for weeks. Very disturbing.

Funny Games. I found the rewind deeply disturbing.

Jurassic Park. When the water is shaking in the cup.
The Blair Witch Project. I can't even watch it on TV with commercials.

The Blair Witch Project. I can't even watch it on TV with commercials. This. And I am a scary movie lover - my sisters & I have a Scary Movie Nite every Friday the 13th. Still can't watch this one. The Strangers is another one that got me. Watched it once. Can't watch it again. And any movie that has a rape scene or a man beating his wife are ones that while they may not traumatize me, definitely stay in my mind.

The Mist. Usually gory creature movies make me roll my eyes because they're so ridiculous. But this one absolutely blew my mind because of the turn the ending took.

Marathon Man. Didn't even get thru the whole movie. Probably don't even need to mention which scene.

And this will sound stupid but Jeepers Creepers--I literally cried I was so scared. I had a 2 week old baby and my hormones were really kicking in and it scared me to death in that beginning chase scene.

I typically don't watch that type of movie (horror, bloody, etc.) as an adult, so this one is harder for me to answer... my memory isn't really all that good, so I don't remember specific scenes. But I would say Misery-- the scene where she smashes the guys legs-- was pretty horrifying to me, even though I had read the book beforehand. Some things are best left to the imagination, I guess.
Along those same lines, the sex/assault scenes in the movie The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo were pretty darn disturbing for me to watch from a 'power / victim' sense... but they were integral to the story and to showing the characters of the two people involved- so they needed to be included.

Silence of the Lambs. I slept with the light on for over a week after that.
Also Moth Man. I've been through the area where it's based many times so that makes it more real to me.

I don't watch horror movies, and generally don't watch violent movies, so that said, the first one I thought of was Saving Private Ryan. That opening ten or fifteen minutes stayed with me for years.
There's a very old movie from the 60s called On the Beach with Gregory Peck and Ava Gardner. It's about a US sub crew that ends up in Australia after most of the rest of the world has been destroyed by a nuclear war. The Australian people are waiting for the fall out to come their way and then they will likely die, too. That is one hell of a haunting movie. I saw it on TCM in my late twenties, and I still get chills when I hear the song "Waltzing Matilda," which was woven into the score through the whole thing.

The Exorcism of Emily Rose.
She was a good Christian girl! And, after watching this movie, it seemed that I woke up at exactly 3:?? (I can't remember the exact time, but it was called the witching hour in the movie) every night for a week.

Not that it was scary but it messed with your head.

Law Abiding Citizen. That movie freaked me right out and messed me up for months. I hate that movie and will never ever watch it again. I tell everyone not to watch it.

The cook the thief his wife and her lover, my friend rented that in college and it was horrifying, gross spoilers ahead
there's a scene where the lovers almost get caught but escape in the back of a truck of rotten meat, that's a graphic killing of the lover and then the wife exacts revenge by having the cook roast her lover's body and forces the theif (her husband) to eat the body. Everything about that movie was messed up and I'm not entirely sure why ask of us watched it and none of us left, I'm still scarred by it 20 years later!

(I can't remember the exact time, but it was called the witching hour in the movie) every night for a week. That happened to me too after watching that movie. It happened for a few weeks straight after I saw it and the. It stopped happening. Li caught that movie on tv a couple years ago, and it happened again! That time it only lasted a few nights. So weird!!!

I was about to say that no movie has scared me as an adult, but then I remembered Dawn of the Dead (the remake, with the fast zombies). The night i watched that alone I didn't even want to let the dog out to pee. Lol I know that's dumb but I was so jumpy!
It's still one of the only horror movies I consider even remotely scary or entertaining.

I make a real point to avoid watching any movie that I think will upset me. Movies, for me, are about relaxation and enjoyment. In fact I'm purposely avoiding even reading any other posts in this thread. I don't even like to read/hear about movies that are the type to upset me.

Saving Private Ryan. Seriously the opening scene where they storm the beach I nearly threw up my popcorn. I just am not cut out for war.

The Sixth Sense. Just the idea that you could turn a corner of your own home or look to your left and suddenly an alarming looking specter is there with you! A feeling of never being safe in your surroundings with nightmarish beings hovering around you.

Harry Brown. It was very graphic and just disturbed me. Seeing and old man get beaten to death. I believe it was based on a true story as well so that made it worse

Years ago there was a movie called The Cell starring Jennifer Lopez.. I thought it was going to be a detective hunting a serial killer movie, and it was, but the details of the killing was so disturbing to me I jumped up & told my DH I can't watch this, I'll wait outside. He followed me out & we went home & I was so disturbed I cried. We don't go to those kinds of movies anymore, I won't watch on tv & I don't read Steven King or other things with evil. I just can't do it.

I avoid scary movies... but Magnolia scarred me for life!!
Also Cape Fear which I watch every damn time I see it on TV and then I don't sleep for two nights.
And there was a movie about a couple of scuba divers who get lost from their boat and are left out in the middle of the ocean.
Ugh I hate even thinking about it

I swear that scene traumatized me for years, and that was just watching it on film. I tears me up when I think that people actually lived that. I honestly don't comprehend how you'd ever return to normal life after going through war. I cannot fathom it.

Not a movie, but an episode of Walking Dead that involved Glenn.

I cannot watch scary movies so if I did, every single one would be on my list. However, I have an odd compulsion where if I hear about a scary movie I *need* to know what happens so I google it and read about. I have a problem! Movies I read about that disturbed me greatly: Seven The ring Saw Movies I actually watched that scared me: Alive Saving private Ryan Pulp fiction Scream

The beginning of Murder in the First. I was jumping out of my skin, so much so, my BF at the time said "let's go" about 5 minutes into the movie. Years later, I watched the rest of it but I skipped the first 10-15 minutes.
