What's so bad about it? The few clips I've seen seem very well done (especially impressed with the ending).
Your incessant criticisms almost make me want to watch it so I can defend it.
The fried chicken drumstick scene in Killer Joe is pretty disturbing.
I hate rape scenes period. That's why I never got into Bates Motel on A & E. As soon as I saw that guy starting to rape his mama and switched it and never went back.
Most crap I can shrug off as fake.
But one thing that gets me is military films that are too realistic.
The scene in Saving Private Ryan when the American and German are fighting in the building and the other American stands outside because he is too afraid to help is a scene that I can never watch a second time.
Edit - It is bothering me greatly to recall it for this post.
That scene is in there to set up a twist that comes later on. You should try and watch every episode afterwards.. its a good show.
Spoiler:She ends up killing him I know, but I just didn't bother after that.
Whoa, long wait for that reply.
Anyway, all you did was list the main shock scenes. I could have done that after reading the wiki page. Are you saying that the nature of those scenes in themselves would make the movie suck regardless of the presentation or purpose, or is there actually something about the film that makes it poor on its own?
Pretty sure Martyrs was discussed already, but I find myself still thinking about that movie months [years?] later...
Not just because it's disturbing, but because it's thought provoking.

Spoiler:In the beginning of the show it looks like Norma murdered Norman's father and then moved herself and Norman out of state to buy a motel/house with the insurance money. The scene with the rape and subsequent murder is meant to further that assumption that Norma is bat**** crazy and a coldblooded murderer (she stabs dude like 40-50 times). Must be how Norman got so F'd up, right?
Wrong.
The twist that comes later is, Norma didn't kill Norman's father. Norman did. The reason she was so nonchalant in the opening scene is because she watched him do it after his father hit Norma (when Norman gets violent he goes into this weird trance first and then he doesn't remember anything he's done afterwards). So she had already cleaned up the real crime scene (living room) and staged the fake one (garage like it was an accident) and was taking a shower cleaning off all the blood by the time Norman woke up hours later from his trance and came looking for her after discovering his father's body.
So that scene sets up that twist. And her reaction (stabbing dude so many times) makes sense later as well because it's revealed later on that she was abused as child (incest with her older brother).
