There are 2 films tied for the most unsettling i've ever seen.
Grave of the fireflies (1988)
A beautifully animated film about a teenage boy and his young sister fighting for survival during WWII Japan after their town is bombed by US forces. They are separated from their family and left to fend for themselves. As the story progresses, the two are abandoned once more by their own relatives due to the pressures of sheltering more and more refugees. Two displaced, young people forced to rely upon one another with no guidance in a world where hope seems futile. The film unearths the stark realities and atrocities that humans endured during times of conflict throughout and winds down to a bitterly painful end.
Highly recommended if your aim is to become sad and reflect on the state of the world.
Audition (2001)
A film adaptation of the original work by Ryu Murakami (Author of Almost Transparent Blue). Starts off in a humorous fashion. A widower sets up a fake audition to find a new partner . He is unaware that the woman he chooses has a very dark past filled with extremely disturbing imagery. A dance teacher with prosthetic feet, a bar with a dismembered body, and a disfigured humanoid drinking vomit and writhing in a sack are some of the images that stayed with me. A true psychological thriller, and one hard to forget.
Cache: A psychological thriller film that caused some serious visceral reactions. Also love how it was shot.
"Without warning, happy, successful Parisian couple Georges (Daniel Auteuil) and Anne Laurent (Juliette Binoche) receive anonymous videos suggesting that they are being stalked. The tapes are followed by disturbingly violent, if childish, drawings. Georges, a well-known literary talk show host, shrugs off the mysterious messages, but Anne grows increasingly distressed and fearful for their teenage son. She grows to suspect that an incident in Georges' past is behind the increasing torment." (Google)
Melancholia: To this day I'm not sure what I watched, but it was absolutely haunting. It seems to elude to something more than just dooms day.
"As a planet hurtles toward a collision course with Earth, two sisters (Kirsten Dunst, Charlotte Gainsbourg) cope with the approaching doomsday in different ways". (Google)
Donnie Darko: Probably the best of all time.
"During the presidential election of 1988, a teenager named Donnie Darko sleepwalks out of his house one night and sees a giant, demonic-looking rabbit named Frank, who tells him the world will end in 28 days. When Donnie returns home, he finds that a jet engine has crashed into his bedroom. Is Donnie living in a parallel universe, is he suffering from mental illness - or will the world really end?" (Google)
The remake of the movie IT was unsettling and creepy as hell. If you haven't seen it yet you should go walk it. I'm a grown ass man and that movie still creeps me out so bad!

Watch if you want a complete mindf**k
Both very unsettling in their own ways.

The most boring I can tell: we just saw Downsizing yesterday... well, it was a complete waste of time.
