How much is too much?

These movies will evoke a myriad of different emotions, but one thing that can be said for all of these titles, is that we have zero desire to revisit them.

Hachi: A Dog's tale, 2009

If you think you've felt sadness, think again. Marley and Me has nothing on this gut-wrenching story about the bond between a man and his dog.

Hachi is all about friendship, loyalty and loss, and tells the true story of a college professor who adopts and raises an abandoned puppy. Everyday the akita dog, named Hachiko, would accompany him to the train station, and then would be waiting for him when he returned after his working day.

Then, the professor dies, but his loyal companion continues his ritual and hopefully awaits his return every day at the station, through rain and snow. It’s heartwarming, but also devastating to witness, and physically impossible to watch again.

Pay it Forward, 2000

The act of doing something nice for one person and asking them to do the same for three other people, changing the world by paying it forward, why would we not want to go back to watch such a heartfelt concept?

The movie centers around Trevor, a school boy whose Pay It Forward concept starts a revolution, but the sweet movie has a devastating ending that leaves a sour taste in our mouths, and we can guarantee that you won’t be going back to watch it a second time.

The Mist, 2007

Taking place in a small supermarket, a group of townsfolk are trapped by a mysterious mist that conceals deadly, otherworldly creatures. The Mist sounds like a good, and pretty standard horror.

For the most part, we don’t watch horror movies a second time because they’re scary, but The Mist is unwatchable a second time because of its twisted ending that shocked us, sickened us and turned our worlds upside down.

Fall, 2022

Fall kept us invested through every minute, despite the whole story being confined to a small space, that small space being 2 000 ft up where two friends are trapped on top of a television broadcasting tower.

The story was intense on its own, but its unexpected, psychological twist had us questioning everything. Fall was brilliant, complicated and absolutely devastating, and nothing in the world would convince us to watch it again .

Brimstone, 2016

When we think of a Western epic, we think of cowboys and horses, but what we got with Brimstone was a brutal, gory and pretty disturbing film about a woman-turned-fugitive being hunted down by an evil preacher set on revenge. It’s a lot, and if you manage to get through it once, you certainly won't be going back for a rewatch.
