Of this list, I've only seen #4. I have absolutely no desire to see any of the others - in fact, I wish I could unwatch that one.

[lucimay]

i haven't seen any of them, luckily.

don't plan to.

Last House on the Left was it for "sick" for me.

[sgt.null]

i have only heard of Ichi The Killer.
never have seen any of this.

[emotional leper]

I'm so glad their number one is not real, otherwise I'd owe someone money.

Still gonna have to watch it, though.

[Holsety]

I'm surprised Cabin Fever and Land of the Dead are "honorable mentions," the former was honestly boring to me and the latter was too campy to be scary. But since I see Audition only made it to honorable mentions, and I have to conclude the stuff that actually made it on must be freaky as hell.

Only heard of Ichi and Cannibal Holocaust.

[onewyteduck]

Not only haven't seen any of them, I hadn't heard about any of them anyway. Don't think I have missed much!

[Cagliostro]

ARGH!!! I can't see this list. I keep trying, but it never pulls up for me. What is wrong with me?

[aTOMiC]

I thank God and all that is holy that I haven't accidentally run across any of these films and thanks to this article I know their names so I'm not taken by suprise in in the future.
I've never enjoyed watching films of this nature.
Wow. I thought films like Saving Private Ryan left me fundamentally altered. Watching what is described in these film summaries is literally the last thing I would like to experience. I've seen (what I previously thought were) some gross moments in cinema. I remember a couple of choice moments in 13 Ghosts and Ghost Ship but seeing everyone on a ship's party deck get the top half of their heads whipped off all at once is like watching a Bugs Bunny cartoon in comparison to the Top 10 Sickest Movies.
I'll pass.

Only seen Ichi The Killer.

I think it's all just hype. I doubt I would find any of them sick... films that try to be sick end up just being stupid.

[Cameraman Jenn]

I've seen a few of the honorable mentions. Hellraiser 2, Cabin Fever and The Audition.

[Montresor]

I've seen 10, 7, 4, and 2.

Ichi the Killer is a great film, not surprisingly, because it's from one of Japan's most internationally respected modern directors. It's certainly visceral, disturbing, and shocking - it also happens to be brilliantly acted, fantastically comical, full of ingenious cinematography and too much else to list. Interestingly, the actor who plays Kakihara (the film's 'villain') is not a fan of violence in movies. When Takashi Miike explained to him the point of Ichi's absurdly gratuitous, comic-book violence, he came on board with great enthusiasm. It's a classic film, though definitely not for the squeemish. Although, for my pick, Audition is Miike's most shocking movie (and another superbly acted and brilliantly themed film).

Aftermath, on the other hand, is an irredeemable piece of garbage. The effects aren't even that good, either. I seem to remember the corpse flopping around like it was made from latex and there's a final shot of a slaughtered dog at the end which I assume was meant to shock, only, I found myself wondering: "is that supposed to look like a stuffed toy with fake innards on it?".

Odd that Passion of the Christ didn't make it in the top ten. There's also a pretty recent Czech film called Taxidermia whose last sequence alone rivals anything in the top 10 films on that list that I've seen.

It's kind of funny to think of the flak that scenes of violence in gore cop in some movies, when you can have people's heads melting and exploding at the end of Raiders of the Lost Ark, and it still just gets a PG . . .

In all fairness, those were Nazis who melted, so really, no harm no foul.

LOL!

Of course! As long as it was only Nazis . . . and one French archaeologist . . .

I was walking through the living room last night and caught a glance of this 'nightmare'. just do not understand how something like this piece of garbage can be allowed on Netflix Instant. Why isn't this banned? I have a troubled teen in my home and thought that Netflix avoids this kind of thing. I mean, they wont play an X rated movie but they play this junk. I have no problem with frontal nudity but my God, the horrors they show ...I froze in my tracks. cutting of male and female genitalia, rapping of dead women, no filters, no warning. I am so troubled by this 30 minute movie.

[Lord Zombiac]

I loved Cannibal Holocaust, in many ways it is the precursor to the Blair Witch Project, and the twist at the end was quite brilliant, I thought.
"I spit on your grave" should be on the list for having a brutal 30 minute rape scene.
I enjoyed the Guinea Pig movies, other than the fact that they had no plot.
"In a Glass Cage" is a wonderfully sick film. It is about a Nazi child molester who used to inject kids in the heart with gasoline to watch them die for Hitler.
He feels remorse, after having made his escape to South America, and tries to kill himself-- but fails and ends up in an iron lung. His family hires a male nurse to take care of him, and it ends up being one of his victims, out for revenge and to express his own twisted brand of abuse.
During one memorable scene, the male nurse shuts off the iron lung and masturbates in the Nazi's face while he gasps for breath.

none of that was a selling point for the movie LZ.

It's a great horror film. Quite possibly the bleakest film experience I've ever had. Totally gripping, and brilliantly tense masterpiece of the genre.

Glad someone else has seen it. I would rate this in the top three best horror films of all time. Not for the squeemish. Very hard to find, also, as it is rather unjustly banned in numerous countries.

[Kil Tyme]

Never heard nor seen any of em.

Surprised "Mark of the Devil" wasn't mentioned. A very bloody german film brought to the US in the 70's that is full of scenes of bloody torture of people suspected of being witches in 1700's germany. They passed out barf bags to the movie goers as part of a gimmick, which I think I read was the first time that was done. That flick I did see as a kid and I'm still warped from that horrible night.
