The appeal of disturbing horror movies is one of the few aspects of the horror community that has remained alive throughout the evolution of the genre. Trends and filmmakers have sailed through decades where censorship has tried to avoid the consumption of graphic horror movies and has often failed. It seems there's always a new way to shock, and viewers are always exploring new ways to be shocked.

However, in the case of the following movies, you may find yourself witnessing films that are not only hard to endure, but they're also movies where excessive violence has a purpose. Regardless, you will probably only watch them once and then deal with the aftermath of such a horror experience in your own way. Fortunately, streaming service Shudder has made them available, even if you will most likely cover your eyes from the carnage and gore.

I haven't watched Kidnapped yet, but can't say anything negative about the other ones.

On the contrary, some of my faves are on this list.

Edit:

Nekromantik 1 & 2 and his other movie Der Todesking are a matter of taste - i kinda liked them, though not on my faves list. But the soundtracks to all 3 movies are much better than they should be.

I watched the movies once, but still occasionally enjoy their soundtracks.
