I used to go to the drive-in a lot in high school and college, and the most disturbing movie I ever saw in my life was I Spit on Your Grave. I must have seen the movie five of ten times (I used to go to a lot of movies). Of all the movies I have ever seen, I can’t believe they’re remaking this one, but they are:

Here’s the original (and I think much better) trailer:

And here’s what Wikipedia has to say:
As I Spit on Your Grave, the movie was censored and released in the United States in 1980. Many countries, such as Ireland, Norway, Iceland, and the former government of West Germany, banned this movie altogether, claiming that the movie “glorified violence against women”.
Roger Ebert has this to say about that:
Movie critic Roger Ebert gave the film no stars, referring to it as “a vile bag of garbage…without a shred of artistic distinction,” adding that “Attending it was one of the most depressing experiences of my life.” (click here for the whole review)
Nevertheless, Wikipedia goes on to say
Camille Keaton (the grand-niece of Buster Keaton) won a Best Actress award for her role in this movie at the 1978 Catalonian International Film Festival in Spain.
You be the judge.
