A movie that messed you up

[Aesir23]

Watership Down messed me up a bit, I think. I saw it when I was around 5 years old back in 1984.

I don't think it's a kids movie.


LOL

The music makes it a bit epic, eh?

O_O Holy f*ck. I'm really glad I never saw the entire thing when I was younger because that is just...Yikes. It makes me wonder why that movie was on a children's cartoon network at all at the same time I'm grateful it was presented in episodic format so that I didn't see the whole movie. I'm also incredibly reluctant to read the book that's sitting on my shelf now.

Careful, there was a remake that isn't nearly half as good as the original movie. If it has 'newer' animations, sharper/more color, it isn't as good. FYI.

Depends on if this remake was in the 90s, '94-'95ish. If so, then the one I saw might have been the remake. All I know is one of the scenes in that video was really bloody familiar....pun actually unintended.

New School
Old School

Spoiler: Original Bunny Madness

I just watched a youtube portion of the New School version, and I was upset it left out a lot, and the characters looked so different.

Obviously we both need to see everything Watership Down related, and read the award winning book as to get a true feeling of the intended art : )

EDIT: Was that a bunny Kamehameha in the New School vid?!?!?!?!? Almost...

Ah, Yeah I think I saw the remake then. I don't know how I could have forgotten that considering the different character designs.

But see/read everything Watership Down related? That's like asking me if I want to spend time at a mental institution, the answer you get will depend on if the rooms at such institutions actually have padded walls.

Fireflies in the garden.

Too many bad memories.

Watching The Shining at the, oh-so-manly age of six..
I.. I turned out okay in the end, at least I think so, but my childhood was pretty messed up following on watching that movie. I couldn't sleep, and when I finally did I had crippling nightmares.
I hate my brother for doing some things, and this is one of them.. (Forcing me watch it that is.)

DAMN YOU!
I had almost, ALMOST forgotten about that movie, and now you come around and remind me..
And that didn't scar me as a child, I watched it last year.. And then I read the book.
Damn that movie, I cried for hours after watching it.

OT: When I was young I watched Gremlins while I had a massive fever that was making me hallucinate, you do the math lol.

You just reminded me of the time i got chicken pox. I stayed awake for 2 days reading The Reality Dysfunction by Peter Hamilton. By the end of it i thought i was in a Truman-Show-esque conspiracy because i wasnt living on Mars.

" captain corelli's mandolin" I saw that WAY too young. By the time I saw Antichrist I was like "pfft, he's bleeding in places that are uncomfortable so what?"

 

[sexbutler]

Antichrist definitely.
Nothing really compares after that.
The loved ones did a pretty good job too

The Loved Ones YES! I was afraid of pink for a week after that! And i laughed at The Human Centipede. And Teeth.

Some other really messed up movies are Black Swan, which really deserved all the awards it got. And Splice, this canadian scifi thriller. It was a shame it degenerated into standard horror fare at the end, but it still left me with this crushing sense of despair.

What the hell did I just watch.

On topic, I think every movie I've ever watched has messed me up somewhat. Although, the scene in Pinnochio when they all turn into donkeys after drinking, damn, that is fucked up.

 

[Harkonnen64]

I've seen loads of gorey films, but for some reason the only one that made me physically sick was Passion of the Christ. I feel so pathetic.

Back when was with a church, namely a youth group, they took us to see it. I don't know what the hell they were thinking.

I was shown Chuckie at way too young an age, as a result, I never had dolls as a kid and puppets still give me the heebie jeebies.

Also, almost anything with zombies in it. I'll laugh it off but when I'm walking alone I'll always check over my shoulder.

Oh God, I remember seeing this one when I was a kid. Well, my mom and dad had taped it, thinking it was a regular cartoon and sat me and my older sister down to watch it. It scared the shit out of us, they turned it off after a while. Now I'm kinda on the fence whether I should watch it or not, I have a feeling it would still be able to scare me after all these years.

 

[-Dragmire-]

I watched Virus at age 12. Robots ripping apart humans and rebuilding them into cyborgs... fun stuff...

 

[AbstractStream]

The [original] Exorcist.
I saw it the first time when I was 7. I couldn't really sleep much...

 

[Ray De Ation]

Eraserhead. Oh god, just... Eraserhead. It starts off midly surreal and turns horrifying just when you've gotten acclimatised.

 

[Phishfood]

Opening sequence to Robocop.

 

[Scarim Coral]

While I have seen a few horror movies as a kid (blame my bro who was into those type of films and my dad for allowing it) but Bram Stoker's Dracula scare me beyond nightmares. Ever since I witness that head chopping scene I became scared of any head chopping related scenes.

Reading these posts I start to remember long surpressed horros!
Like "Watership Down". I totally forgot this and now I start to remember...oww!>.<
When I was still in elementary school and spent the night at my grandparents house, I couldn't sleep so I switched on the TV. "Chuckie" was on and I thought it would be a nice movie about a doll...oh, was I wrong! I didn't watch the entire movie but after that I was scared of my own -till then favorite- doll and sometimes I thought I saw my dolls and stuffed animals move in the dark when I wanted to sleep! O.O;
Some yeras later (and still a kid) I saw on TV a cartoon with cats and I thought it would be nice. It was "Felidae". It wasn't nice. There where cats. And there were cat-guts. So I learned that cartoons are not always for kids
When I was older, in my late teens I think, I watched "Ju~On - The Grudge". It isn't a that gruesome movie. Nothing too scary or horrible happens but that kid in the movie...it freaked me out. It did nothing. Just sitting on your bed, while you sleep. Sitting under the table while you eat. Just following you around.

After that I was really quite paranoid. I had to lock my closet and had to look under my desk before I sleep. Totally crazy! It took really quite a while till I got back to normal.
I am still embarassed^^;

But today I still like to watch horror movies (as long as there are no scary kids! )

 

[BoredDragon]

I saw Aliens when I was 8. Needless to say, it scared the crap out of me. I can mostly look back at it and laugh... mostly.

 

[timb69]

Requiem for a dream. Only movie I have ever been physically ill after seeing. And 6 years later still refuse to rewatch it. That ending WOW

 

[WorldCritic]

Mind Game, that movie may very well be the most mind fuck of a movie ever. It traumatises you just by how much you'll be saying "What the fuck?" Especially by the end.

Maybe it's just because I was a bit of a ***** when I was a kid, but the first Spy Kids movie messed with my head. A bunch of goddamn thumbs coming after you? That's pretty disturbing, but then they had to have the whole thing with the machine that the bad guy used on spies... god. He warped their bodies into crimes against nature and forced them to appear on his kids show where they screamed for help but no one could understand them.

I couldn't get it out of my head for weeks.
