I fast-forwarded through a lot of the scenes from the remake ofThe Last House On The Left. Shock value scenes are just all over this movie, and I really despise such movies. I know rape exists, I don't need to get a full 30 minutes of traumatic pre-rape scene during witch the rapists just act maniacal and like sadistic pricks, then watch a full 5-10 minutes rape scene.
The whole movie is based on this really, and that's just how the bad story-telling of this movie goes. Make it so hard for the viewer to go through the first hour of the film, that there is no kind of need for a character development in the movie for you to hate the guts of the bad guys and root for the parents of the girl who got raped.
The Hills Have Eyes(also a remake I believe?) was pretty much the same for me. I can't stand lengthy graphic violence or rape scenes that are just there for the sole purpose of making the viewer feel so bad that he can't possibly do anything then root for the good guys afterward...

Trainspotting. The drug use/needles, a certain scene involving a toilet and [spoiler alert] the neglect of a baby that leads to it's death followed by a trippy scene with the main character hallucinating about that baby.
It's a good movie, but you're right. It was very disturbing, and not in the Human Centipede kind of way. It was actually a good way to visually make the viewer go through the dirty, disturbing and depressing universe of drug addicts.
And
SPOILER ALERT
The scene with Ewan McGregor's character going through heroin withdrawal with the baby crawling through the ceiling was disturbing as all hell!
