10 Most Disturbing British Movies Ever

10. Boy Meets Girl

Just about released in 1994 (after being banned for a minute by the BBFC), Boy Meets Girl is a sort-of-psychological thriller/ horror hybrid which shares its title with a handful of other films that also opted for this generic phrase (including a light rom-com, so apologies to anyone who rented one expecting the other).

Apparently intended to be darkly comic but instead fairly amateurish in its execution, this flick follows an unlucky bloke who awakens after an ill-fated one night stand to discover he's being held captive in a dingy apartment by his pissed off paramour.

What follows is a string of tortures which succeed in disturbing the audience despite the budgetary limitations, as this little-known indie works its way to a bleak conclusion.

Mostly notable for being briefly banned, this one is… maybe a satire? But definitely upsetting, even if its politics are hard to unpack.
