Making it through what movie would make you "Immune to horror"? (It makes more sense in the description)

Your question only makes sense if you assume that there's some sort of universal hierarchy of scariness/grossness/creepiness, etc. where if someone can make it through a film higher on the hierarchy, that means it'll be no problem for them to tolerate everything below it. So if someone makes it through whatever's at the top, that somehow renders them "immune to horror".

But that's not how it works. There is no one movie at the top, because everybody has their own personal hierarchy(if there are even hierarchies at all).

For example, A Serbian Film's one of my favorites. I had no trouble making it through that. Same with Martyrs, Men Behind The Sun, Inside, August Underground, Murder Set Pieces, Chaos, etc.

But Septic Man grossed me out, and I don't even have the stomach to try watching Lucifer Valentine's Vomit Gore Trilogy. See, rape, gore, and torture are low on my personal hierarchy compared to shit and vomit.

The only way to get a movie like the one you're looking for would be for it to be packed full of everything that could possibly push anybody's buttons; not just all the right content, but also the right aspects of execution, because poor acting/effects/pacing/soundtrack/etc. can ruin the mood. An anthology like The ABCs of Death might be able to do the job due to the sheer variety of content, but it would need a bigger budget to get the execution right.
