extreme horror movies

[mqstout]

My sentiments largely mirror sam's. I've seen Hostel and it didn't do anything for me (postiive; though not too much negative either). I saw Saw and definitely was not keen on it. Reading the Wikipedia article for Serbian Movie definitely makes it fall into the "nope, certainly not".

Ichi the Killer was mentioned. I half-enjoyed that movie, despite the gore. There was actually (some) meaningful plot to it.

i'm terribly hard to please with most films, even non-horrors. I require meaningful plots, not just [genre-specific elements; aka: explosions, or gore, or...] before I'll even consider watching it.

There is one type of film that I generally avoid: psychological horrors/mental illness films (examples: Memento, Session 9, Inception). They make me uncomfortable in ways that even quality film-making do not overcome.
