I read the book; I read the true crime book and saw the movie once. Years later tried to watch it a second time but just couldn't make it through.
Martyrs burned itself in my brain for a long time after I saw it. It was a time in my life where I thought I had seen everything in terms of screen violence, but that shit profoundly disturbed me.
When you're talking about a horror film staying with you or keeping you up at night, it's usually just a singular image or idea that you can't shake, and the cell phone footage in Lake Mungo did that for me. First time in years I actually went to bed feeling really uneasy.
Those are the only ones that spring to mind right now because they're more recent, but I'm sure there are dozens from when I was a kid.
Not horror, but Sympathy for Lady Vengeance.
Historically, Dark Night of the Scarecrow and Trilogy of Terror were films I saw at a young age that freaked me out. Bubba and the Zuni Doll were in the closet or under the bed for a while.
After watching Halloween as a kid, I was scared of looking out my ground floor windows at night in case I saw that mask emerge from the darkness.
I watched The Vanishing (1988) a few years ago and it stayed under my skin ever since.
