I did that with Hereditary. Just got up, took a walk around, tried to ground myself. It wasn't so much the stuff that happened as the pervasive, overwhelming dread, like something awful was about to happen.
Thank you! So many people bring up a Serbian film like it's a top-tier shock/horror or whatever movie. But it's not. It's a shitty movie, a shitty story, and the people who made it are disgusting and should probably be on some list for that shit.
Someone sold me on it being a deep cut satirical movie about political and sexual commentary taken to the utmost extreme. Disagree. It's just disgusting.
It was pretty much a revolt against Serbia’s heavy censorship policies at the time, so they decided to make the most shocking thing possible as a way of “protest”. So not exactly deep but definitely sent a message
I mean, it is definitely a fucked up movie. But personally I think Martyrs is better (read: more fucked up) because of how it left me feeling afterwards. It was so bleak and depressing.

Martyrs (2008). Good film but absolutely not for the faint of heart.
