The MOST disturbing movie I ever saw was HAREM SCARUM. I kept twisting in my seat, longing to get out of the theater, and believe me, there was nowhere to go when I got out of the theater. The film was so excruciatingly monotonous that I was HORRIFIED. Plus the songs that poor Elvis was REQUIRED to sing were beyond bad. I could have written better songs myself, and I have never written even one song. But I'm sure I could have. Plus I was on a BLIND date, and I was in a deep state of REGRET.
THE SHINING has nothing on this film. It is rumored to have killed EP.
