Few days back I asked my friends that ‘Which was the most shocking movie they’ve seen ?‘ and most of them didn’t know the answer, few replied ‘Srpski film‘. Here are some unrated Shocking Movies with less violence.
Incendies (2010)
Rotten Tomatoes Critics Rating: 92%
Director: Denis Villeneuve
Incendies was nominated for an Oscar for ‘Best Foreign Language Film of the Year‘ in 2011. Story was about siblings Jeanne and Simon explore the past of their mother, Nawal, who had fled in the Middle East in the safe west before the war. Nawal’s last will gives the twins the task of conveying two letters: one to their dead believed father, the other to an unknown brother. The two of them reluctantly take the journey to their mother’s home. The search for their own roots leads them back into the collective tragedy of the war.
It’s very intense, gripping and absolutely wonderful drama that feels like inspired by ‘True Events‘ due to its geological settings. The journey Nawal takes her children on from beginning to end is terrifying and heart wrenching. The ending of the movie really shocked me. It left me speechless and kept me up late several nights.
Compliance (2012)
Rotten Tomatoes Critics Rating: 89%
Director: Craig Zobel
This movie could be the most
We Need to Talk About Kevin (2011)
Rotten Tomatoes Critics Rating: 76%
Director: Lynne Ramsay
This is a movie that every parent should watch. It explored the factious relationship between a mother and her son and gained a lot of praise at the Cannes Film Festival and attempts to explore the themes of society, parenting and psychology. There is a permanent, chilling sense throughout the film thanks Ramsay’s low key direction and the power of the performance. This is a film that should stick in your head.
The story is just incredible, and the movie will leave you holding your breath many times.
Here are few other my favorite shocking movies that you should watch…
The Secret in Their Eyes (2009)
A Tale of Two Sisters (2003)
