I've seen relatively few of the movies because many of the sickest movies are, by nature, low budget. Big companies won't finance unpalatable, politically incorrect productions that are often times only made for the purpose of shocking or making a name for a director or special effects company.Given that there is clearly no marketing budget, it's a miracle any of the movies that were produced pre-internet ever got watched.
That said, I did buy the autographed Snuff Edition of AUM and AUP from http://xploitedcinema.com/catalog/index.php and only made it through 15 mins of one of them so, I'll say the August Underground series. I did just watch this trailer and felt fairly appalled afterwards http://www.dailymotion.com/video/x6x...a-knife_webcam . I'd love to hear from one of the panel who compiled the list, and presumably watched most of the movies, what their top 5 were in terms of post cinematic revulsion disorder. I mean, if I said to you 'you have to make your 4 year old and your grandmother watch 99 of these movies, which would you leave out?'

I've seen somewhere betwee 30-35 of these films. Cannibal Holocaust and Men Behind The Sun crossed the line by having non-simulated animal killings; it's very difficult to overlook that.
Salo is really disturbing, but I would recommend that you read the original story penned by the Marquis De Sade to appreciate the sheer level of cruelty commited.

I probably wouldn't watch/buy many of these movies without watching a trailer first or at least getting advice here. This links into a discussion on the 'classic horror' section of the former, aren't most of these movies made purely for shock factor? Excluding Cannibal Holocaust, Audition, Evil Dead, Henry, Last House on the Left there isn't much substance to the rest of it. Would you agree?

I really liked Cannibal Holocaust. I loved the underlying sense of anti-colonialism, anti-empire along with the hand held sections. A strong message, an innovative style and a shit load of gore!:cool:

I think this is what makes CH severed head and shoulders above the rest of the 3rd world cannibal genre. |

Yeah, it's way better than all the other cannibal movies (despite the fact it isn't the one with Stacy Keach in it). Not only is it the champ of that small genre, it's a 'proper' movie and would definitely make it into a lot of top horror 100s. Without it, there's no Blair Witch and ultimately no Cloverfield etc.

Thank you very much for this list very impressive. I have seen 22 of these films. I have to say I agree with the person who said "Martyrs" should have been included. Despite all the films I've already seen THIS movie caused me to temporarily burnout and I could only get through about an hour of it. Its funny what classes as disturbing really is different for everyone. There are some films I cant watch on the list "Salo" being a good example. Also despite it being a supposed must see for horror films I can't watch "Cannibal Holocaust" because of the real animal cruelty already mentioned I just can't take that. Though I did get through "The Holy Mountain" which I suppose is more disturbing if you follow a faith or religion.
