Here, then, are the most disturbing movies of all time, a list of transgressive cinema that will leave you shell-shocked and cowering. Some of these movies are made merely to shock with empty provocation some have something genuine to say at their core all of them will disturb you. A brand of movie that brands the viewer, searing their brain with unforgettable imagery and dissection of the most base and perverse human impulses - impulses which just might have something in common with the more "sanitized" form of screen violence we find acceptable (whoops, I guess I am self-indicting a little!). There is a subset of cinema that is interested in exploring the extreme, the profane, the taboo, the disturbing. Instead, I'm here to examine what happens when filmmakers turn this dial past the breaking point. I am not here to indict folks who enjoy this kind of content - I am one of them.

Perhaps it's an act of vicarious catharsis perhaps it's because we know it's all fake which gives us "permission" to enjoy it perhaps it's because the actual stakes, both in and out of the text, seem so low.

Spider-Woman (Hailee Steinfeld) for another adventure spanning multiple timelines, as they endeavor to save all Spider-Men, Spider-Women, and Spider-Pigs from an insidious new threat.We delight in watching acts of violence on screen. Set one year after the events of the first Spider-Verse, this movie sees Miles reuniting with his love interest Gwen Stacy, a.k.a. And while a live-action Miles Morales project has recently been announced by Sony, even more hotly anticipated is the long-awaited animated sequel, Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse. One of the many things that made Spider-Verse such a hit was the fact that it finally brought a fan-favorite version of Spider-Man, Miles Morales (voiced by Shameik Moore), to the big screen.

2018's Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse was a kaleidoscopic, multiverse-spanning adventure that threw multiple incarnations of Spidey together, and was so well-received by critics and fans alike that it shot to the top of many Spider-Man movie rankings, over Sam Raimi's original trilogy with Tobey Maguire as well as the Andrew Garfield and Tom Holland versions of the iconic superhero.
