Q: What movie was so disturbing people walked out?

Irreversible (2002) had one of the most notorious walkouts ever at the 2002 Cannes Film Festival. People began walking out within 15 minutes of the beginning of the movie, citing the "sickening" violence (including an excruciatingly graphic and long rape scene) as one of the main reasons. Other notable walkouts for disturbing content include (but aren't limited to) The House That Jack Built (2018), Reservoir Dogs (1992), Crimes of the Future (2022), and Freaks (1932), which also prompted a woman to claim it caused her to have a miscarriage. There are also plenty of other movies people have walked out of for various reasons. One unifying factor appears to be that the most publicized walkouts aren't necessarily for the most disturbing movies (at least not by modern standards), but rather for higher-profile movies that people watched without knowing what they were getting into.

Q: Is The Human Centipede the most disturbing movie?

The Human Centipede (2009) is found on numerous "most disturbing" lists. Is it the most disturbing movie though? For many people, The Human Centipede is probably more gross than disturbing.

Q: Who is the most brutal horror movie killer?

With the release of Terrifier 2 in 2022, Art the Clown earned his spot as the most brutal horror movie killer ever. This designation will certainly be debated by passionate horror fans, but it's hard to argue against a couple of Art's greatest kills: using a hacksaw to slowly saw a person in half from crotch to head in Terrifier (2016), and scalping, stabbing, and ripping an arm off someone before gleefully pouring bleach and salt on their wounds in Terrifier 2 (2022).
