It’s time to break your legs so you can miss work for a week and enjoy these all time sleaziest films ever. This list is chock full of dirt bags, slime balls, rapists, peeping toms and scum bag prison guards. Vile! Juicy!
Criterion for this list will be films that crawl under your skin, films that make you feel dirty watching them, you know, the kind of movies you turn off when somebody walks in the room and you feel like you just got caught …. uhm, yeah. These are not porno’s by the way.
Delírios de um Anormal (Hallucinations Of A Deranged Mind) 1978
It’s Surreal, it’s barely palpable, it’s Jose Mojica Marins’ (Coffin Joe) recycled footage. Unfortunately, you will have a very hard time finding a copy to call your own. However, don’t forget to check out the “Coffin Joe” Trilogy which are absolute must haves for any irreputable sleazy horror fan. That would be you.
The Titicut Follies 1967
You MUST see this move: This is the only movie banned in the United States for reasons other than obscenity or national security. The filmmakers were sued by the State of Massachusetts for invasion of inmate privacy. That’s right, this documentary follows the treatment of the inmates at the Massachusetts Correctional Institution at Bridgewater, a prison hospital for the criminally insane. It is simply put, horribly disturbing. I promise you will never forget this documentary, you might even think it’s one of the best documentary’s you’ve ever seen, but you probably wouldn’t recommend it to any friends or family, well, your mom might like it.
Salò, or The 120 Days Of Sodom 1975
“One of the most banned films in history.” Torture, degradation, mutilation, coprophagia, rape and is an overall nauseating film to watch. Just watch it tough guy.
Wet & Rope 1979
The Japanese make a Nunsploitation film, and they did it right!
Newlywed Yuko gets raped by three nutcases while her husband is forced to watch. He banishes her, naturally, as any loving husband would. Another little fork in the road and Yuko decides to becomes a Nun, and that’s when all the fun starts to happen! A rare little gem! Not cheap, so if you see it at a used record store or something, pick it up! You’ll be the envy of all your registered sex offending friends.
Pink Flamingos 1975
Starring everybody’s favorite transvestite actress, the queen of trash himself, Divine.
Watch Divine fight to keep her title of “Filthiest Person Alive”. The best part is the last scene, after the movie is over. Something incredible happens and film history is made. Om nom nom…
Irreversible 2002
Watch it for the infamous rape and fire extinguisher scene. The movie plays backwards, with strobing lights, and low frequency sounds, it is however, actually a “good” movie.
Watch it together with I Stand Alone, and Enter the Void, and you have yourself a little Gaspar Noé threesome. The former two are equally disturbing/arousing.
Combat Shock 1986
A desperately troubled and disturbed Vietnam vet struggles with life 15 years after the war, and falls into a deep insanity from his gritty urban lifestyle.
Blue Velvet 1986
Why you should watch it: One of the creepiest scenes featuring a standing corpse. Watch it.
Man Bites Dog 1992
It really is unlike anything you’ve ever seen, it’s a Belgian mocumentary where this sleazy camera crew follow this serial killer while he murders a bunch of people. Really good and really different black comedy.
Society 1989
Straight outta left field, this movie’s about Bill who feels different because of the way this particular society treats him. Perverse, incestual scenes, dark secrets and one of those “unforgettable” celluloid moments.
Begotten 1990
Creepy, strange, experimental, no music and full of religious symbols that add to the films creepiness. The best scene in the movie is when the Earth Mother emerges from the suicide corpse of God and arouses his dead body to impregnate herself. I promise you won’t forget this movie anytime soon! Makes a great gift for you mother in law.
Aftermath 1994
A 30 minute short film with a mortician, a car crash victim, some razors, a penis and no spoken dialogue that results in the best necrophiliac movie ever. Not that I’m into that kind of stuff.
Funny Games 1997 &
Funny Games 2008
One of my all time favorites, no bullshit. If your not one for foreign language movies then watch the American remake, I’m usually not one for remakes but this one is very good and as close to the original as possible, it’s more of a translation than a remake and it is beautifully done, and starring Tim Roth and Naomi Watts if I may add. The film itself is an exploration into the reality of violence, it’s gruesomeness and terror. At one point you’re holding out hope, then you lost that hope, then something happens and you’re like, “oh shit, there’s still a glimmer of hope” then the director does something twisted. As little gore as there is, the movie is very violent.
In a Glass Cage 1987
Okay, so this former evil-nazi-concentration-camp-doctor-pedophile dude tries to commit suicide, fails and is paralyzed from the neck down gets a new nurse. The film itself is disturbing due to its graphic content, but then there’s a scene where the former nazi gets a front row seat to a pretty nasty scene while he’s trapped inside his iron lung.
Mermaid in a Manhole 1998
Very memorable Japanese movie where a man discovers a mermaid that he had met during his childhood, living in the sewer. She’s deathly ill so he takes her to his bathtub to return her to health. Problem is she’s all scabby and full of puss and other disgusting crap.
Cutting Moments 1997
A loveless, sexless marriage, a father developing sexual desires for their little boy, some awesome masochistic sexualized maiming, self mutilation and murder.
One of 3 short films on the DVD Family Portraits.
Benny’s Video 1992
Another one from Micheal Haneke (Funny Games), this one’s about a little boy named Benny who is obsessed with violent videos, particularly one pig slaughtering home movie. Benny decides it’s time to lose his mind and make a video of his own.
That’s it for now, unless I missed any, in which case let me know and I’ll add it to the list and watch it if I haven’t already seen it!
