The reasons why some of us enjoy watching disturbing movies are essentially the same reasons why so many people enjoy horror movies. Part of the reason has to do with the stimulation watching a disturbing movie provides. Triggering fear or disgust responses in a safe environment can result in adrenaline and excitement. Disturbing movies also allow us to have unique experiences far outside of our everyday lives, and they can satisfy our curiosity about the darker sides of human behavior. Many people enjoy disturbing entertainment, ranging from true crime stories, to horror movies, to movies intentionally meant to be as shocking and disturbing as possible.
