You mean like Man Bites Dog (original French title: C'est arrivé près de chez vous) a Belgian mockumentary about a serial killer and his film crew?
Never heard of this and I'm Belgian. Noted. Thank you!
Expected Man Bites Dog to be average, but goddamn this is some excellent film making and acting.
Though a bit different focus - Happiness (1998).
Elle by Paul Verhoeven
have you tried any of Lars Von Trier's work?

Yeah, folks, don't watch this on a first date. However, to me it's not as psychologically uncomfortable probably because it's so unrelatable or near impossible to happen in real life. What makes a great psychological thriller/horror is when the viewer knows it could happen to them.
- The Killing of a Sacred Deer which feels very inspired by Funny Games.
- Beau is Afraid one of the most anxiety-inducing films I've ever seen. Might've just me though, the weirdness made me very uneasy.
- Be My Cat: A Film For Anne which I recently found about and was surprised by how much I liked it.
Someone already mentioned it, but Man Bites Dog fits the category really well and is a very interesting watch.
Once you've had kids, it becomes a little more difficult to watch some films with difficult subjects like torture and murder in them. That said I had a hard time with Funny Games way before I ever had kids. I remember watching that made me want to climb into the film and put a shotgun in the mouths of those two fuckers.

Requiem for a Dream gets kind of bleak..

Creep (2014) and Creep 2 (2017) are def weird fuckin movies.
Husband put it on and uh, it's 100% living up to being an uncomfortable film.
I loved Funny Games, and I also loved Martyrs (2008), but that's kind of a basic pick
