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.

One of my classes watched faces of death.

In high school.

And nobody made any kind of noise about it lol. No parents, the principal, etc.

I feel questions should have been asked about the lack of questions asked about this.

I was legit shocked when the teacher allowed it. I had seen it before, so I knew what it was. And I told her what it was.

But it was a class vote of all things, and she allowed it.

That was a big shock to me too. I've always had a morbid curiosity. And a strong stomach. But I had no idea that many other students not only knew what it was, but wanted to see it, including almost all of the super uptight christian girls.

Blew my mind. I wasn't surprised that the guy that wanted it on the list to vote for suggested it. He was an edge lord back before the term existed. I didn't really care, and there were other options I hadn't seen, so I voted otherwise. One of the other guys in the class was planning on being a mortician, and he voted for dirty dancing of all things.

Yay for democracy?
