(Editor's note: The following list contains graphic images of taboo, horrific, and potentially triggering contents.)

There‘s something sinfully inviting about the urge of wanting to watch banned, disturbing films that we can’t quite explain. However, the following films are probably not worth giving in to your curiosity for. Really, you‘ve been warned. Viewer discretion is strongly, and we repeat strongly advised. 

1.  A Serbian Film (2010)

With a mix of brutal pornography (which include newborn rape scenes... ) and ultra-violence, this movie is far from your typical run-of-the-mill gore film. A film so tainted with profane disturbance beyond perversion, unless you're watching for the sake of psychological analysis in progressive art; watching this for mere leisure would not end well for your sanity. 

2. Irréversible (2002)

Irréversible is a movie about a trio who seeks vengeance after one of them was violently raped. Extremely difficult to digest especially if brutal, gnarly uncensored rape scenes are your trigger. Although well-filmed, the repulsive nature in some of the movie's portrayals of violence might be a little too much for anyone to endure. 

3. Salò or 120 Days Of Sodom (1975)

Is this a classic torture film, or an elaborated endurance contest to see who could make it to the end without wanting to repent? Your choice. The extremely graphic depictions of human degradation beyond what is morally accepted run rampant throughout the 2-hour film. The only thing more gut-wrenching than this film is perhaps the grotesque murder of the director himself, Pier Paolo Pasolini. Google at your own risk. 

4. Inside or À l'intérieur (2007)

This film depicts a delusional woman who's chronically obsessed with another woman's child— and would do anything to take what she thinks is hers. Take a heavily pregnant woman self-defending herself to an almost death against a mentally deranged woman who's oddly comfortable commiting an array of torture methods just to steal a baby, and you've got one hell of a gravely disturbing film not to be watched alone. 

5. Melancholie der Engel (2009) 

There really is no point in watching this film unless you can look forward to its excessively horrendous brutal acts of human degradation in varying levels, all of which are absolutely non-digestible for the faint hearts. It is about a man who believes his death is near and thus in his desire to push the limits of humanity, he implores a group of friends to join him in his quest for absolute human depravity that ranges from animal cruelty to human excrement. 

6. Baskin (2015)

This Turkish horror film depicts a group of police forces who accidentally discover a portal to hell. There, they witness all sorts of unrelenting, increasingly horrendous tortures— dismembered bodies performing intercourse, eerie hooded figures, gouged-out eyes, and more.
