Welcome to Disturbing Movie Reviews!

What makes a disturbing movie? Various themes are common in this category, ranging from violence and bloodshed, to surrealism and body horror, or even as simple as the innocent made menacing.

Over the years. filmmakers have pushed the boundaries of the medium to explore different ideas, to sometimes horrifying effect. In this blog, I will explore some of the most effed-up movies out there, from mainstream to obscure, using the following general template:

• General Info: Title, year of release, director, primary actors
• What It’s About: A couple paragraphs summarizing the plot
• Why It’s Disturbing: An exploration of the imagery and other elements that work to get under the viewer’s skin
• Summary: My conclusions on quality and effectiveness, and a rating from 1 to 10

Not all the movies I cover here will be horror, necessarily, though they may cover horrifying concepts. Documentaries, crime thrillers, and even some black comedies can be just as disturbing as any horror flick, so I see no need to limit myself by genre.
