Guinea Pig
The Japanese...is there anything they don't do?
We're going to be stepping outside of the comfort zone of American movies a few times on this list, because the rest of the world has some pretty nasty ideas about what horror can be. Case in point: Japan's Guinea Pig movies. The general theme of the series is torture and its effects on the human body, and the visual effects on display are so grossly realistic that in 1991 Charlie Sheen saw the second installment and reported it to the FBI as a snuff film. As the series progresses, it devolves into gory slapstick comedy, but the first two films still have the ability to shock and disturb.
