“What is the most shocking film of all time? That feels like a loaded question, with so much going into what makes something ‘shocking’ and what is everyone’s limit for insanity. Using 2018’s The House That Jack Built as an example, that film depicts heinous acts of violence with sexuality and nihilism sprinkled throughout the runtime. It caused mass walkouts during its film festival debut and pissed off critics and conservative filmgoers. That is the type of buzz needed to find its way on this list; a film should test the viewer in many ways, crossing genres lines to explore your cinematic limitations.”
