So, I saw a really disturbing film recently and the same scenes keep replaying in my head, over and over, and I fear that if I don't take a break from this then I may never sleep well again. I've tried thinking about all sorts, even happy Christmas songs, but I always think about it in the end. It's mainly shock, I didn't expect such a gory scene to appear in the movie, and it was clearly just put in for shock value. It was a sequel, and although the original was violent/brutal it was often quick paced and almost cartoonish, whereas the sequel was slower, and made you watch in horror unthinkable things. Showing an exceptionally gory scene, with detail, and then just switching to a happy scene, and then back to the gory scene which proceeds to get worse (I did wonder whether to just walk out, but at the time I was worried my friends would judge me, although they did anyway because I looked away at times since I couldn't bear to look). How on Earth it was a 15 is beyond me. I'm 18 and usually I'm fine with things rated 15, but I walked out the cinema after watching that and felt emotionally scarred. Mainly because it addressed a fear of mine that I've been fighting through for a long time, and now thanks to that film it's back and I'm worried that I'm going to fall into bad habits again. This is why I don't like psychological horror, and for a quick paced comedy about spies, I was not expecting a sequel that barbaric, sadistic and shocking. I don't mind a bit of slapstick violence, but when it comes to people dying unimaginably painful deaths in horrific detail, that's where I draw the line. Granted, some people joke that I would make everything an 18 if I had the chance, since I'm something of a sensitive person, but that film definitely needs to be an 18. It's practically a horror movie with the detail it goes into. I find it hard to move on from things. This can be good because it means I can study something in detail for a while until I get bored, or write a story that almost feels real since I include details as well as the big picture. But when it comes to moving on from something like this, not matter how many times I tell myself it isn't real and I'm safe, it's hard to leave it alone. That's why I made this thread, hopefully talking about it will help, and I'm also hoping to see some things that will hopefully cheer me up temporarily. TL;DR, I saw a disturbing film, and I could do with some cheering up. Please post something happy. Thank you.
Thanks, the first one doesn't appear to be working, and when I click to see it in YouTube it just saying that it is unavailable. I liked the second one though, very catchy!
