We all know that plenty of the best movies ever made are very gritty and dark. Se7en, The Dark Knight, Chinatown, Prisoners, etc.
But we’ve all come across a movie, video game, comic book, etc. that just felt so needlessly dark, that it feels over-the-top or almost a parody of itself. This is what most people would call “edgy.”
What movie or movies have you guys seen that you’d best describe as edgy?
I think some noteworthy examples could be the entire Human Centipede franchise, the insanely horrible A Serbian Film, and (depending on who you ask) anything by Lars Von Trier. Anything else along those lines?
Edit: Well shit, seems like “edgy” is an insanely subjective term. Donnie Darko’s been mentioned like 30 times and so have Fight Club and American Psycho. Interesting.
Edit 2: Dear God, some of you have replied quite possibly the dumbest things I’ve ever read on this site
