 Scrapbook (2000, Dir. Eric Stanze) -- Clara is captured, raped & brutalized by a psychopath. I am surprised this film comes up rarely on lists of disturbing cinema.

The rape scenes are over the top including use of a bottle. What really stuck with me though was when Clara has milk poured over her & is sealed into a garbage can in the boiling sun.

The dvd extras made me feel worse. The actress playing Clara was never told what would happen in advance of appearing on the set each day. The director always demanded more ''realism''. I think she allowed herself to be raped & abused to make this movie.

I felt dirty after watching it & desperately wanted a bath.

The Bunny Game is a similar film but less effective.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_2Vnh_i6FU8&fbclid=IwAR33gVdMcdJf2AkWkGcz7mIYz4-yPbCoDT2DO2Tkuc3JiQTcgO6qLfKqyQo
