Well I just finished Shadow Hearts: Covenant (Yeah, yeah I know... I'm slow.. )
DUring the game I beat prety much all the sidequests (I missed one ring soul... hell if I can figure out where tho...) most importantly... I beat the 'Man Festival' and sat through those last two FMV's....
Which got me thinking to about other disturbing moments in games. They may be disturbing ina funny way or in a 'back away slowly from the deranged madman' sort of way. But they are all disturbining one way or another.
My top three, in no particular order
1. Wild Arms 2- THe cutscene with Irving and his sister Altaceia where they discuss their 'love' for each other and wanting ot be in each others hands. It MIGHT have been innocent. BUt the way it was shown could easily be taken for a more.... redneck interpretation if you catch my drift.
2. Xenosaga- the little monologue of Albedo to Momo.... just thinking about it gives me goose bumps. As if the complete 'psychopath nutjob' tone and laugh weren't enough, The guy ripped off his own head!
3. Shadow Hearts Covenant: The last two Man festival FMV's... Okay I know Joachim has had those underpinings of his sexuality (Heck you can actually have him admit he's gay in one part of the game ^^;), but still... I don't know who to feel more sorry for ... Joachim for having ot undergo that with his teacher, or innocent Anastasia who had to watch it!
RUnner up: The 'intro' to the two shop keepers in Shadow HEarts Covenant. Was that close up of his wiggling but REAALLLY Necessary?
Killer 7 was extremely creepy, from what I played. I really need to continue it.
Silent Hill 2....well, Pyramid Head, 'nuff said.

It was meant to be taken that most base and degenerate way. Long story short, the translation hurt the scene some. It has plot relevance and blah blah blah blah, but I won't go into that.

Anastasia enjoyed it, one should note.
Most? I'm not good a t that.
I did find the end scene of Suik 5 pretty creepy. A macbre scene with the mad villians that had taken everything from you laughing and clapping as the spirit of your love/bodyguard vanished. Intended to be touching with your parents, but ...really, kinda creepy.
Dracos
Fallout 1 endgame, the final boss at the cathedral. The music and the setting are unsettling on their own, nevermind what you go up against. The opening and ending movies aren't exactly comforting, either.
Fallout rocks. =D
