People Are Sharing The Movies That Disturbed Them So Much They Vowed To Never Watch Them Again, And Here Are The Most Surprising Ones
Earlier this month, @0xHermione asked the people of Reddit: 'What's a movie that disturbed you so much, you'd never watch it again?' The responses were varied, to say the least, with quite a few surprising choices sneaking in alongside the usual suspects of The Human Centipede, Martyrs, and A Serbian Film. Here are 18 movies that you might not have expected to make the cut: Some posts have been edited for clarity. 1.'This is probably gonna be so far out of left field but The Pursuit of Happyness unlocked a fear in me that I didn't know existed as an adolescent.' — FlexuhLot 2.'Jurassic Park. I don't recall which, but it was the one where the island gets destroyed by a volcano (Editor's note: This is in Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom.) At the time, I was a grieving child who had recently lost a pet cat, and watched the movie to distract myself from that loss. Seeing the Brontosaurus getting covered by the smoke just made all those feelings rush back in. Don't think I'll watch a Jurassic Park movie ever again.' — Sauce-Gaming 3.'We Live In Time with Florence Pugh and Andrew Garfield, I had just had my second daughter when we watched it, and I cried for 4 days straight, felt very empty inside after. Shame [because] it's such a beautiful film.' — Mozzarella_dippers 4.'Bambi. I was 6. I cried so hard I threw up and blamed the dog. He got yelled at. I've lived with that guilt for 20 years. Still won't rewatch it.' — Machineabyss764 5."The NeverEnding Story. The horse scene traumatized me when I watched it as a child, and I never watched it again.' — Green_Top_Hat 6.'Anything where the animal dies. I'm never watching Marley and Me again.' — Something-funny-26 7.'A Star Is Born. Great movie, compelling story, but just too freaking depressing.' — tardisthecat 8.'Us. The facial expressions and the big eyes from the actresses alone are enough to make me not [want] to watch it again.' — WajajaKEKW 9.'Wedding Daze. Most uncomfortable movie I've ever seen.' — IndianaFarthouse 10.'Looper. When the old guy finds the writing in his arm and then parts of him start disappearing, my mouth was agape. I was so disturbed by the whole watching again.' — marriedtomayonnaise 11.'Unpopular opinion, but The Mask. I was a kid when I watched it and it haunted me as to how people can change and wear a mask to appear nice and good.' — Mediocre-Albatross84 12.'I was going to add Final Destination 2 myself, because of the highway scene. Everyone who has seen that film refuses to drive behind log trucks because of it.' — res30stupid 13.'Million Dollar Baby. I've said it numerous times before — it's the best movie I never want to see again.' — retailguy_again 14.'I Am Legend. I could never watch that dog die again. I cried so much in cinema, it kind of broke me a little bit inside.' — iScraM 15.'Pinocchio. It's the whale. I watched horror flicks as a kids without issue but that whale? I still can't watch.' — LaoghaireElgin 16.'The Wizard of Oz. Seriously. Watched it as a very young child and the Witch of the West freaked me out.' — Sittingpretti24 17.'Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3. It's basically a snuff film where sentient animals are tortured disguised as a Marvel movie.' — Arglebarglor And finally… 18.'Teletubbies: The Movie. I know it's for kids, but why do they stare into the void like they know how the world ends? And that baby sun? It watched me sleep for three nights after. I didn't survive that movie… I respawned with trust issues.' — HeeledNDangerous What do you think of these choices?

REPLY: The Jury for the Second Edition of the Reply AI Film Festival Is Announced, Which Will Celebrate the Best AI-generated Short Films
Gabriele Muccino, together with Caleb & Shelby Ward, Caroline Ingeborn, Charlie Fink, Denise Negri, Dave Clark, Filippo Rizzante, Guillem Martinez Roura, Paolo Moroni, and Rob Minkoff, will evaluate the shortlisted films based on creativity, production quality, and the use of Artificial Intelligence. TURIN, Italy, May 08, 2025--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Reply, an international group specialised in the development of new business models enabled by Artificial Intelligence and long committed to the exploration of emerging technologies and supporting the growth of new talent, announces the jury for the second edition of the Reply AI Film Festival. The international competition open to creatives, filmmakers, and videomakers who wish to experiment with the production of short films using AI tools and explore the continuous evolution of the collaboration of human creativity and technology and the power that this combination brings to storytelling. The jury will be chaired by Gabriele Muccino, an Italian director and screenwriter known for films such as The Pursuit of Happyness, and Seven Pounds. Joining him on the panel for the second edition of the Reply AI Film Festival are returning members Rob Minkoff, co-director of The Lion King and creator of numerous films including Stuart Little, The Haunted Mansion, and Mr. Peabody & Sherman; Caleb & Shelby Ward, co-founders of Curious Refuge, the first online community dedicated to filmmakers using Artificial Intelligence; and Denise Negri, journalist for SkyTg24 and Sky Arte, and correspondent for major international film events such as the Academy Awards, Cannes, and Venice Film Festivals. New to the jury this year are Dave Clark, founder and Chief Creative Officer of Promise, a production company focused on films, series, and innovative formats created in collaboration with some of the world's most talented GenAI artists and storytellers worldwide, and Charlie Fink, columnist for Forbes US and expert in Augmented Reality, Virtual Reality, and AI. The jury also includes Filippo Rizzante, Chief Technology Officer at Reply; Caroline Ingeborn, Chief Operating Officer at Luma AI, a platform for creating highly realistic 3D images and videos; Paolo Moroni, Head of Lexus Italy; and Guillem Martinez Roura, AI & Robotics Lead at ITU AI for Good, the United Nations initiative focused on harnessing AI for the benefit of society. The theme chosen for the 2025 edition is "Generation of Emotions" — an invitation to explore how Artificial Intelligence can evoke authentic and engaging emotions through cinematic language. The jury will evaluate submissions — due by June 1st, 2025 via the platform — based on creativity, production quality, and the use of AI in the various stages of development, from script to post-production. Gabriele Muccino commented: "The Reply AI Film Festival is a pioneering event showcasing technology and art's exciting intersection. AI is not a replacement for human creativity, but a catalyst for innovation. It will enable filmmakers to explore new styles, genres, and narratives that were previously unimaginable. As President of the Reply AIFF Jury, I'm honoured to be part of this journey, discovering new talents and celebrating the bold experiments that will shape the future of cinema. The AI revolution is just beginning, and I'm thrilled to be at the forefront of this creative explosion." "The role of AI in the future of the film industry won't be about replacing filmmakers—it'll be about expanding what's creatively possible. It will be a creative collaborator, helping filmmakers visualise ideas faster, experiment more freely, and bring ambitious stories to life with fewer limitations. From pre-production to post, AI will streamline workflows and democratise access to powerful tools, opening doors for more diverse voices and bold storytelling. But filmmaking will always be human at the core because AI can't feel joy, loss, or love. It hasn't lived the stories we're here to tell. Used with intention, AI won't diminish creativity but elevate it," said Dave Clark founder and Chief Creative Officer of Promise. "We are delighted to launch the second edition of the AI Film Festival because we believe in the importance of creating spaces and opportunities to experiment with emerging technologies," said Filippo Rizzante, CTO of Reply. "The success of the first edition, with over 1,000 short films submitted from 59 countries, underlines the global interest — not only among the younger generations — in initiatives that challenge both technical and creative skills." In addition to selecting the most outstanding original short films, the jury will also award two special prizes that are new to this edition: the Lexus Visionary Award, recognising the most visionary and innovative production that successfully integrates technology, design and forward-thinking, in line with the values that have always guided Lexus' approach to creativity; and the AI for Good Award, promoted in partnership with the International Telecommunication Union (ITU), which recognises the best short film that highlights the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). Paolo Moroni, Head of Lexus Italy, commented: "It is an honour to be part of the jury for this festival, which invites us to explore how Artificial Intelligence can accelerate the creation of authentic and engaging emotions through the language of cinema, combining innovation, creativity and vision. Much like Lexus - with whom it shares values such as innovation, creativity and forward thinking - this competition celebrates the evolution of film and technology's ability to support the generation of deep emotions, constantly pushing the boundaries of imagination." "I'm thrilled to join the Reply AI Film Festival as a juror and to present the 'AI for Good Award'. This festival is a unique opportunity to showcase the creative potential of generative AI technologies in storytelling. I'm looking forward to seeing how filmmakers use AI to tell compelling stories, highlighting the importance of sustainable development. AI can be a powerful tool for driving positive change, and I'm excited to see how the festival will inspire new ideas and innovations," said Guillem Martinez Roura, AI & Robotics Lead at ITU "AI for Good" The creatives behind the shortlisted works will be invited to a premiere event, organised by Reply and Mastercard, taking place in September in Venice where the three overall winners will be officially announced.
