1) Oldboy (2003)

If you like revenge stories that push limits and leave you unsettled, Oldboy is your film. It follows Oh Dae-su, who gets kidnapped and locked in a small room for 15 years without knowing why. When he’s finally released, he’s left to figure out what led to his imprisonment and who was behind it. The part that makes people go “WTH” happens when he uncovers the horrifying connection between himself and the person pulling the strings. The reveal flips the story and forces you to rethink every scene leading up to it. The ending leaves no room for comfort and hits with the kind of weight that numbs.
