Listomania Sunday: Most Disturbing Movies About Kids


Well in the next few weeks I will be having my first kid. So, I figured my next few lists will be kid related.  I thought I would start with the bad side of kids and the most disturbing movies about kids.
1. Kids -Definitely one of the most disturbing movies and one of the first NC-17 movies to be released. About a bunch of kids having sex and at the end almost all of them have HIV.
2.  Bully-Directed by the same guy who did Kids another NC-17 movie this one where a bunch of teenagers bored in Florida kill a bully for fun.  The most disturbing thing about this movie is that it is based on real events.
3.  Hard Candy-About a girl who reverses roles and picks up old guys on the internet to torture them.
4.  Precious -A truly moving movie but still  disturbing. About a teenage girl with who has two kids and got HIV from her dad.
5.  Thirteen- Another movie inspired by true events this one was a semi autobiographical written by one of the stars. It is about a girl who wants to be popular and begins a decent into drugs and sex.

Interesting fact I figured out after making this list is that two directors on this list ended up directing a Twilight movie. Catherine Hardwicke who directed Thirteen also directed the first Twilight and David Slade who directed Hard Candy also directed Eclipse.

Almost making the list was The Woodsman with Kevin Bacon about a man who was just released from jail for molesting young girls. Also almost making the list was The Good Son -One of the best Macaulay Culkin movies.  He plays a psychotic little kid. In one of the most memorable scenes he throws a dummy off of a bridge and causes a huge car wreck.
