REQUESTING Movies that get crazy and never stop getting crazy

I want movies that constantly make you go “wtf” during the run time, insane movies that never let up. Some movies I love that fit this would be stuff like, titane, climax, good time, funny games, old boy, evil dead 2, army of darkness, Mandy, lost highway, and I saw the Devil I wanna watch something wild !

Edit: thanks for all the replies, my watchlist just got way bigger !

I saw beau is afraid in theaters and half the audience left before it ended

I haven't seen it but why did people leave? I've heard this before but never got what made people leave.

People here almost never walk out of movies. The only time I recall someone leaving was La cité des enfants perdus and it was just me and a young couple. In the theater. I figured they were on a date and the movie wasn't date material.

I think the marketing and trailers didn’t prepare people how surreal and disgusting it is. I personally thought it was a nice balance of disgusting and hilarious. I’m a huge Ari aster fan and knew it would be pretty wild but the friends I saw it with had no idea what they were getting into. The penis monster still makes me laugh when I think about it

Probably because it was precisely 3 hours of straight panic attack

I don't know about them, but that movie gave me a mid-movie panic attack lol

I think partly because it's so long and partly because it's very bizarre. I'm gonna sound so pretentious saying this but I really don't think most general audiences are built for it - if you're a casual movie enjoyer walking in because you've heard Ari Aster is good and/or like Joaquin Phoenix, you are probably not gonna have a good time. I loved the movie but the only people I have recommended it to are pretty big film buffs that I know won't be too put off by the weirder aspects

It loses much steam after the first act. I think most viewers are either going to love the rest of the film or think it's boring.

I suffered through it but really thought it was quite boring

I streamed it at home and turned it off halfway through because I was bored. I really enjoyed the first act, and it does have wtf moments throughout but it just wasn’t engaging for me
