Legend
Rightfully recognised as a classic, Legend starred a young Tom Cruise who plays Jack. Jack is tasked with saving the girl he loves from the Lord of Darkness played by Tim Curry. Now there is no denying the menacing appeal of Tim Curry in this movie.
Whilst enslaving the innocent princess and turning her into a gothic fantasy he also spends a lot of time symbolically killing unicorns in an attempt to prove to her that her innocence is lost. This film disturbed many a young girl with its extremely suggestive overtones and Tim Curry is masterful as The Lord of Darkness.
Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory
Long before the Hollywood big bucks appeal of Tim Burton’s remake there was the original 1971 masterpiece. The movie stayed true to the Roald Dahl novel and was every bit as psychedelic and vengeful. The most disturbing part, other than the way the children are all disposed of, has to be the scene where they are taken on a boat trip by their host.
