There is plenty of movies i havent saw in your listing. Do they compete with Salo, or the 120 Days of Sodom?
I mean, Videodrome, by example, is disturbing. But its almost Disney regarding the masterpiece of Pier Paolo Pasolini in my opinion. Great movie regardless but... you get my point

Loves the double vag
This may be a but too personal but I have to go with the video tape of my wedding 15 years ago, both brutal and disturbing in every regard.
Possibly my favorite movie of all time. Brilliant.
Traces is definitely worse than Faces, for sure. I hate the animal scenes, but plenty of other good stuff.
I liked this one too. Found it at the dollar store on DVD one day!
Those two were great. Harmony Korine directed the first and is one of my favorite directors. His movie "Kids" was also very good and disturbing.
In Cannibal Holocaust, one scene that was real was the sea turtle, verified as such by the director (though they did eat the turtle afterwards). That is why I won't watch the movie again.
Anyway, awesome subject, now this is something I can really get into. I seek these movies out with a passion, but I avoid anything that has to do with animals, going as far as to research certain movies beforehand and avoiding animal cruelty. Just can't take it really, simulated or real.
Anywho, I know of much crazy, brutal disturbing crap out there.
The "Men Behind the Sun" series of 4 movies out of China depicts tortures of
Chinese and Russian prisoners by the Japanese during World War II. Incredible stuff, things you would never even think of, all in the name of war technology. A little bit of animal cruelty in one of them.
There is also a new movie "Philosophy of a Knife" that I have yet to see that is 4 hours long, a pseudo-documentary of the same subject.
On a more mainstream level, the uncut version of "Requiem for a Dream" presents a treasure trove to those looking to be disturbed. The Dutch film "Spoorloos" (The Vanishing) is also a quality watch. As many know, "American History X" can be disturbing as well.
The brilliant, sadistic thriller "Funny Games" by Michael Haneke should not be missed.
The harsh depictions of the French movie, "Avere Vent'anni" (To Be Twenty), was something I watched recently that made me feel a little ill. In a similar vein of sex and violence you can find two other French film made years later: "Baise Moi" and "Irreversible", in addition to the Japanese title "Beautiful Girl Hunter".
"Goodbye Uncle Tom" is a hard-to-find Italian movie about the slave trade in the United States. A shocking, brutal depicition that makes "Amistad" and "Roots" look like Disney.
Many disturbing titles have come out of the Japanese film industry. "Ichi the Killer", "Audition", "Visitor Q", "Naked Blood" and "Run and Kill" are all fine fare that I have come across. Anything by Takashi Miike is a must have.
For something a little different, that doesn't really assault your senses to leave you feeling uneasy, try "Safe" by Todd Haynes.
For pure gore, the California Highway Patrol's "Red Asphalt" educational series does not disappoint, with it's real-life depictions of the aftermath of car crashes.
I feel like I'm leaving so many titles out!!!! I did leave out some because they are more well-known or obviously gory just by the titles. If I recall some more disturbing shit, I know where to post it!
Senob mentioned most of the films that came to my mind, you bastard :thefinger
Although one movie that hasnt been mentioned yet I dont think is a film I saw a few years ago called Taxidermia which I found quite disturbing.

Take a Hit, Spunker!
Yeah all the animals were really killed in that movie, but as for the humans being tortured and killed, it's all a fake.
The Director had his troubles after the movie was shot.
After premiering in Italy, the film was seized by a local magistrate, and Deodato (Director) was arrested on obscenity charges. He was later accused of making a snuff film because rumors claimed some actors were killed on camera. Although Deodato was later cleared, the film was banned in Italy, the UK, Australia, and several other countries due to graphic gore, sexual violence, and because six animals were killed on camera.

Good point. I have honestly not seen anything that compares with Salo. Even other stuff by Pasolini, such as Decameron or Canterbury Tales tend to have a humor element that makes things less disturbing, even though they are still good. I really haven't seen much of his pre-1970 stuff though, so there could be some gems there. Pasolini didn't really direct any movies after Salo. It's just a crowning achievement that might not be able to be duplicated. It is just so shocking every time I watch it, and even above that, it is a well-made movie. Despite the things it depicts, it is just so real to me. That's what really separates it from over-the-top gore-fests by guys like Lucio Fulci. His works, and other stuff in the cannibal/gore-fest or pseudo-documentary genre are limited in that they really can't make their stories REAL because you can't legally kill people for the purpose of a movie. (Not that I would want them to do that or to even see that.) You're limited to stock footage at best. But Pasolini flourished in movies that explored and exploited seuxality and it is this overwhelming sexual nature of Salo means they can really do the things the script calls for and not just simulate with special effects, like gore movies do.

Welcome, :hatsoff:
I'm glad I just saw the commercial when it came out.
I don't need to subject myself to watching the movie.
Saw that I didn't really answer your question that well, but ran out of time for editing.
I would say, behind Salo, the most disturbing movie would have to be "Goodbye, Uncle Tom." It's the only thing that comes close IMO in the sexual/brutality/psychological combo. But this is really hard to find, and I don't even own it. I saw it once as part of a boxed set my friend has. It also has many different cuts and versions that can be theoretically obtained in a few different ways, none of which are readily available or inexpensive (that I know of). IMDB gives some good info, check the main part and the comments.

The other most disturbing of the disturbing movies I've mentioned would be Visitor Q, Night and Fog, and the Men Behind the Sun series. They lack sexual nature though and are disturbing just based on brutality and psychological reasons.
For the rest of you, some other movies, I haven't mentioned yet:
The Guinea Pig series out of Japan, of which there are 6 movies. These are troubling in their psychological aspects, though the gore and torture can at times be very unconvincing. These are designed to shock, nothing else. They try and make the movies seem as real as possible, and depending on how much they succeed with you, is how disturbed you will be.
Another offering from Japan is the two movies of the Battle Royale series. Though their gore is sometimes convincing, this is not what drives the film. Psychological aspects play a big role here in the very plot of the movie. Very entertaining and memorable, but not SUPER-disturbing.

Didn't you describe that one to me once?
God, I didn't even see the whole thing and I still occasionally have vague nightmares.
Senob's the one in the relationship that actually was born (and conceived) in wedlock.
Hmm, movies that come to mind:
The Saw series
Turistas (The organ scene was hard for me to watch, and I watch a ton or horror movies)
Hostel
The Hellraiser movies (not too realistic, but whatever)
Irreversible (I didn't find it disturbing, but lots of people do)
There is a truckload of asian horror movies I would like to see as well.

Yepp this is the one, that woman when she get's rapped by them savages and then hacked an being ripped alive from her vagina and entrails and then feasting on her...I was nine when I saw it...disturbing indeed
You stole my answer. I went to see it because I think Allsion Hannigan is quite beautiful, but I think I still emotional scars from how terrifyingly bad that piece of shit was.
Another fucked up movie was Boxing Helena. What was the deal with that crap?
I watched a movie called "Bully" which i found to be a decent movie, but when i found out that it was a true story i also found it to be quite disturbing.

Oh, I think I forgot "Scum," Alan Clarke's borstal film. Violent and realistic.
Here's a clip:

Don't watch with kids around, though. Especially the greenhouse scene.
