Legend of the Titanic. This movie may not be among the more graphic entries listed, but it was a movie so disgustingly insulting to history that I felt unclean for weeks after watching it. I watched this movie on a dare to myself. People told me that this animated Titanic movie was even worse than Titanic: The Legend Goes On and I thought to myself "How could anything possibly be worse than the movie with a rapping dog in it?" Oh how foolish and naive I was back then. LotT tries to pass off that the 1,500+ people who died on the Titanic never really died, that the sinking of the Titanic was all a part of some complicated conspiracy for a villain, so obviously evil that a blind and deaf person could point him out, to gain unlimited rights to hunt whales wherever he wants, and has all the consistency and competency of an Uwe Boll production. It's just so disgusting to see the story of one of the biggest tragedies of all time being dismissed as if it was never that big a deal while also using it as a piss poor excuse for a flimsy environmental message about saving the whales. To quote the Nostalgia Critic in his review of the movie, "if you wanna make a movie about whales, that's fine. More power to you. But leave the deaths of hundreds of innocent people out of it if you don't mind! I mean, even Ferngully just stuck to the rainforest and didn't try to work in the Hindenburg disaster or anything!" I know there's definitely far worse movies out there. This is just the worst one that I've willingly (and foolishly) subjected myself to.

Easy for you to say, man lol the Antichrist chick cuts her **** off!! !! ! traumatised me for life

What's so embarrassing about lumping in your abstruse movie with a bunch of other abstruse movies? Does it want to be special? It's a work of fiction, of course, but it gives off the vibe of a snuff film. Exploitation movies are fine as long as they admit what they are. It's just ridiculous.

Even if it wasn't for the pretension, I'd still dislike "A Serbian Film"; on paper, it's not bad, but the film tries way, way too hard to be "disturbing" to the point where it's not even disturbing, it's just stupid. The whole movie has that smirking persona of "Hey, look how SHOCKING and GROSS we are, eh? Ehhh???", and I've just seen way too much of that in the post-Eli Roth world of independent horror.

There are many ways to do extreme gore and violence right (such as the "New French Extremity" movement, including "Martyrs", "Irreversible", "Trouble Every Day", "Inside", etc., which all have viscerally shocking scenes which actually serve the narrative, though some may argue those are arthouse films instead of exploitation films), but there are also ways to achieve the same effect without shock tactics ("The Texas Chainsaw Massacre" is one the scariest and most intense films of all time and there's only a minimal amount of blood shown). No amount of special effects can make up for a bad script and/or bad direction.
