12 MALAYALAM MOVIES THAT WILL CERTAINLY MAKE YOU UNEASY

Now having already covered the most unsettling viewing experiences in Malayalam cinema in LIST OF THE MOST DISTURBING MALAYALAM FILMS, this list might not seem like an ordeal after all, but there are numerous movies in our canon that irks our distress tolerance, however varying in degrees though, owing to its subject matter that may entirely not sit inside our comfort zones, and that can make for a handsomely eggy list all by themselves- more like a part-2 to the 'Disturbing List'.

Following is a list of such films in Malayalam that will invariably make you uneasy, be it emotionally, intellectually or physically- some right in the end, while some throughout the run. 

5 MOST DISTURBING MALAYALAM MOVIES that will mess with your head

Be it the spurting jet of blood in a cock fighting pit or the spinning head of a decapitated gladiator, man has discovered scope of sport and entertainment in the misery and pain of others from the beginning of mankind. It must be from these basic reflexes that unsavory graphics of blood as well as traumatic subjects causing mental agony gradually infiltrated the thematic range and sensibilities of world cinema. Malayalam films have however refrained more-or-less from graphical representation of gore and violence as much as possible, but in turn focused more on the psychologically unsettling aspects of sadistic relish when urged by the same instinct, but always staying within artistic confines. There are quite a lot of upsetting films made in Malayalam cinema based on disturbing themes, be it the prolonged claustrophobia in Bharathan’s Malootty or spiraling hopelessness in Blessy’s Thanmatra, but none matches up to the haunting aftertaste that the following five leaves in any sane man’s psyche for days on end.  And none of it has the buffer of any form of stylistic flourishes to ease out the pain.
