You don’t always get what you expect. In cinema, especially, you need to be ready to take risks when putting money on promising productions because, well, things can turn out to be much different than what you hoped for. In the list below, you’ll find very popular and beloved movies that disappointed their producers at the box office when they were first released. However, their true value was recognized a bit later and many of them are now considered to be modern classics!Production budgets and total gross numbers were taken from  Box Office Mojo, and the storylines are from IMDB. 

Eating human flesh is one of the biggest taboos in our society, however no matter how hard the human civilization tries to stop this from happening, there are people who have tasted human flesh. There are even some tribes who are known to be cannibals, and there is even a horrible disease that is associated with a cannibal tribe: Kuru Disease. One doesn't have to be even remotely interested in cannibalism to be curious about how these people review the human flesh. Let's hear it from them!

There are many different viewpoints on what makes a film disturbing. For the purpose of this article, 'disturbing' can be interpreted to mean simply upsetting or disquieting. It does not necessarily mean that these films are graphically violent or overtly sexual (although many of them are very much so). For instance, Aftermath did not make this list. It is a thirty-odd minute short film depicting the rape and mutilation of a corpse. While certainly a visually upsetting piece, I feel that it lacks the depth to really linger with the viewer.The following movies do have that extra depth to really get under the viewer's skin. You need to watch the films on this list. You may hate them, but even if you do, you should still see them. Why? Because they are guaranteed to produce a visceral reaction, and any art that is capable of provoking thought and eliciting strong emotions is a significant accomplishment.

Men and women tend to have different tastes in movies.
