Rec me the bleakest movie ever. could be war, doesn't have to be but i want lots of violence, feelings of hopelessness, the setting needs to be a hellscape where all positivity dies and all characters are put through a sadomasochist torture in cages (preferably literal but can be metaphorical)

For non-war non-meme films, I'd say Eden Lake. It's true drear comes from the way it descends into its nightmare, starting at a base level that seems quite pleasant.
Definitely not the sort of film I've ever had the desire to watch again.
Juan Kelly
this, Melancholia, Grave of the Fireflies, The Road, The Elephant Man, Leaving Las Vegas

Martyrs is pretty bleak and fucked up. The original French version.

Hereditary. I personally didn't think it was scary but goddamn was it depressing.
Xavier Mitchell
I teared up at this one, and I was sitting in a room with three girls I knew. fortunately one of them burst into loud crying and ran out of the room, so that might have distracted from my own condition.
that was 20 years ago, when I still had some small measure of hope of a decent life.
Liam Cooper
Since the same films just keep popping up in these types of threads I'm gonna recommend a really bleak film that I don't often see recommended. The Beyond is surreal, gory and ends with, well, let's just say it's not a happy ending.
If you liked Grave of the Fireflies, be sure to check out Barefoot Gen if you haven't already. It's a very similar film that predates GotF by decades.

this one has no hope or anything good coming to the characters, it kinda does border on being too edgy at times

It's pretty crazy how the USA covered up the millions of Iraqis who died of starvation.

My suggestions would be Lilya 4ever and The Road. I'm not really into bleak depressing movies but these two stand out as really hopless.

Funny Games is an obvious rec, but I think it perfectly exemplifies the feeling of hopeless you're after. 1997 version.
Lucas Walker
Men Behind the Sun is easily the most hopeless and disturbing film I've seen, but part of what makes it so disturbing is the fact that everything you're watching actually happened.
Josiah Taylor
Just watched that for the first time the other week, absolute kino. Lady Vengeance (Fade To White version) is even more depressing
Eli Powell
A Serbian Film?
Cooper Harris
I really love that they built a functional APC for the film. Probably one of the coolest prop vehicles ever made.
