(#6) Room
- Brie Larson, Jacob Tremblay, Joan Allen, Sean Bridgers, William H. Macy
In Room, a young woman and her son are being held captive by a violent psychopath in a small shed. The five-year-old son, a product of rape, knows only the sheltered life of the shed, or "room," as Ma calls it. The small space is his whole world, as the young boy doesn't even know that he's a prisoner.
Room is essentially two horrifying films. The first half deals with Ma and Jack's claustrophobic life inside the shed – culminating in the audience's realization that their captor rapes Ma every night while Jack listens.
But then there is the second half, Ma and Jack's life after the escape. After being held captive for years, the elements of the real world seem just as psychologically terrifying to them as their life inside the shed.
(#2) Schindler's List
- Liam Neeson, Ralph Fiennes, Ben Kingsley, Embeth Davidtz, Norbert Weisser, Emilie Schindler, Andrzej Seweryn, Caroline Goodall, Anna Mucha, Ludger Pistor, Mark Ivanir, Elina Löwensohn, Jerzy Nowak, Jonathan Sagall, Branko Lustig, Olaf Lubaszenko, Maria Peszek, Götz Otto, Joachim Paul Assböck, Gerald Alexander Held, Agnieszka Krukówna, Eugeniusz Priwieziencew, Maja Ostaszewska, Rami Heuberger, Friedrich von Thun, Erwin Leder, Hans-Michael Rehberg, Edward Linde-Lubaszenko, August Schmölzer, Paweł Deląg, Henryk Bista, Vili Matula, Shabtai Konorti, Maciej Kozłowski, Małgorzata Gebel, Marian Glinka, Tadeusz Bradecki, Jochen Nickel, Poldek Pfefferberg, Maciej Kowalewski, Radosław Krzyżowski, Grzegorz Damiecki, Leo Rosner, Alexander Strobele, Miri Fabian, Uri Avrahami, Hubert Kramar, Béatrice Macola, Martin Semmelrogge, Geno Lechner, Piotr Cyrwus, Piotr Polk, Thomas Morris, Razia Israeli, Aldona Grochal, Haymon Maria Buttinger, Krzysztof Luft, Tomasz Dedek, Agnieszka Wagner, Wojciech Klata, Leopold Kozłowski, Etl Szyc, Dominika Bednarczyk, Beata Rybotycka, Grzegorz Kwas, Osman Ragheb, Peter Flechtner, Ryszard Horowitz, Ezra Dagan, Adam Siemion, Jerzy Sagan, Beata Nowak, Harry Nehring, Albert Misak, Adi Nitzan, Shmulik Levy, Ewa Kolasinska, Maciej Orłoś, Stanislaw Koczanowicz, Jacek Wójcicki, Stanislaw Brejdygant, Georges Kern, Sebastian Konrad, Jan Jurewicz, Magdalena Komornicka, Magdalena Dandourian, Zbigniew Kozlowski, Michelle Csitos, Slawomir Holland, Wilhelm Manske, Jacek Lenczowski, Wieslaw Komasa, Marcin Grzymowicz, Michael Schiller, Marek Wrona, Bettina Kupfer, Dirk Bender, Anemona Knut, Michael Z.

Steven Spielberg's Academy Award winning 1993 drama takes the spectator back to one of the darkest times in world history. Shown in black and white, Schindler's List has an almost documentary feel, delivering many of the most dreadful horrors of the Holocaust via handheld cameras.
In a movie filled with scenes that will forever remind us how easily humanity can be erased by evil, one sequence in particular stands out. Due to the arrival of more Jews to the Plaszow Camp, Amon Goeth must weed the sick from the healthy in order to make room. Every prisoner is stripped naked and forced to run around to determine whether they will live or die. Some prisoners even cut themselves, using the blood to create a rosier picture of good health.
Schindler's List is one of the most important films of the past 100 years, but, despite its artistic excellence, it's not a picture that many people can watch more than once. It's only more heartbreaking to realize that these events actually happened and people were actually this cruel.
(#7) Irréversible
- Monica Bellucci, Vincent Cassel, Gaspar Noé, Albert Dupontel, Philippe Nahon, Eric Moreau, Jean-Louis Costes, Jo Prestia, Stéphane Drouot, Michel Gondoin, Stéphane Derdérian, Mourad Khima, Hellal, Fesche, Nato
Irréversible was specifically designed to make audiences panic. Gaspar Noé's 2002 graphic revenge drama literally made viewers sick. The director used a 27 hertz bass frequency during the first 30 minutes of the movie, a frequency that cannot be heard by the human ear, but has the ability to induce panic, anxiety, extreme sorrow, and heart palpitations.
Several audience members reportedly left the theater during the film's opening scenes because they felt sick and disoriented. And the film already features a beyond-disturbing, nine-minute rape scene that is nauseating enough without the low-frequency bass designed to induce panic.
Film critic Roger Ebert described the feature as, "a movie so violent and cruel that most people will find it unwatchable."
(#4) Requiem for a Dream
- Jennifer Connelly, Jared Leto, Ellen Burstyn, Marlon Wayans, Keith David, Darren Aronofsky, Christopher McDonald, Louise Lasser, Dylan Baker, Jack O'Connell, Hubert Selby, Jr., Mark Margolis, Ajay Naidu, John Getz, Ben Shenkman, Marcia Jean Kurtz, Peter Maloney, Suzanne Shepherd, Denise Dowse, Olga Merediz, Samia Shoaib, Bill Buell, Aliya Campbell, Henry Stram, John Bryant Davila, Jimmie Ray Weeks, Charlotte Aronofsky, Gregg Bello, Sean Gullette, Abraham Aronofsky, Michael Kaycheck, Scott Franklin, Diana Berry, Janet Sarno, James Chinlund, Leland Gantt, Todd Miller, Allison Furman, Lianna Pai, Heather Litteer, Stanley Herman, Joanne Gordon, Ami Goodheart, Eddie De Harp, Shaun P. O'Hagan, Jim Centofanti, Peter Cheyenne, Ricardo Viñas, Jenny Decker, Chris Varvaro, Scott Bader, Ross Lombardo, Robert Dylan Cohen, Bryan Chattoo, Te'ron A. O'Neal, Craig Rallo, Keith Scandore, Brian Costello, Eric Cohen, Joshua Pollack, Brett Feinstein, Greg Weissman, Jesse Weissberger, Andrew Kessler, Chad Weiner, Ricky Fier, Ben Cohen, Geordan Reisner, Chas Mastin, Scott Miller, Scott Chait, Abraham Abraham, Daniel Clarin, David Seltzer, Carter Mansbach, Nina Zavarin
Perhaps no film captures what it means to be a hardcore drug addict better than Darren Aronofsky’s sophomore indie, Requiem for a Dream. The director’s hip montage editing style brings audiences into the world of heroin and speed addiction. Aronofsky pulls no punches, showing audiences rock bottom – the point of absolutely no return for four addicts who would otherwise probably be decent human beings.
Requiem for a Dream is beyond disturbing. It can make you run out of the room crying, begging for the images to leave your head – but they won't... not anytime soon anyway.
(#14) Whiplash
- J.K. Simmons, Melissa Benoist, Miles Teller, Paul Reiser, Chris Mulkey, Jayson Blair, Damon Gupton, Michael Cohen, Austin Stowell, Kofi Siriboe, Tarik Lowe, Suanne Spoke, Marcus Henderson, Kavita Patil, Adrian Burks, Dakota Lupo, C.J. Vana, Tian Wang, Keenan Henson
There is a difference between being a tough teacher and harassment. Fletcher (J.K. Simmons) is an instructor at a prestigious music school who wants his students to be the best, and will stop at nothing to push them to what he believes is their full potential. In the case Andrew, a talented young drummer as played by Miles Teller, "stopping at nothing" means playing until his hands bleed.
Damien Chazelle's Whiplash is hard to watch at times. Fletcher uses his position of authority to torture his students in the guise of achievement. Nothing less than perfection is acceptable, but perfection is impossible for a dictator like Fletcher.
(#9) 12 Years a Slave
- Chiwetel Ejiofor, Michael Fassbender, Benedict Cumberbatch, Paul Dano, Paul Giamatti, Lupita Nyong'o, Sarah Paulson, Brad Pitt, Alfre Woodard
12 Years a Slave tells the story of a Black man who is born free in New York but is kidnapped and forced into slavery for over a decade. Director Steve McQueen depicts the protagonist's struggle with an unapologetic eye. This is a true story adapted from Solomon Northup's memoir, and McQueen made sure that he told Solomon's story, no matter how hard it is to watch.
One scene in particular is especially excruciating, a sequence in which Solomon is forced to whip his own friend. It's simply heartbreaking to watch, as it pulls at every ounce of human emotion that exists within a person. How many scary monsters can do that?
