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

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.
It’s a film that requires a lot of emotional and intellectual maturity of its audience, most of the critique came from a very superficial and naive angle from a vocal minority that flips out at any portrayal of violence against women as a matter of ideology.
Gaspar Noe in general. Sometimes (understatement) he’s a bit over the top.
Yeah I never need to see that again
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.
