There are plenty, but Henry: Portrait of a Serial Killer was a direct influence imo.

Of course homicide is ugly, but there's a difference between a movie being about something and rubbing my nose in it.

The atmosphere should match the content, and I think it did that successfully as hell. Do you consider it to be unrealistic?
Also I highly value art that can evoke a strong emotional response and disgust counts. I don't ever want to watch something like Irreversible again, but I can't deny that it's a great piece of filmmaking since it can cut so deep.
I also think you just gotta give less power to your expectations homie.
