If the site leaves you confused, unnerved, or a bit jittery, that was the intent from the filmmaker. His film is no less intense, and lives up to its name "Requiem."

Requiem
I'll admit to this particular piece being a few years old, but it is still quite effective. It's a promo site for the film "Requiem for a dream," which is an amazing film by Darren Aronovsky (he also did a film all about the number Pi). This website is intentionally confusing, leading to places that go nowhere, appearing to "crash," and generally tells a story about the premise of the film. It's a fun exploration of the technology, and how we interface with our online world. If you pay close attention, it has a storyline, an arc, character development, etc., but it takes some looking around to really get a feel for the movie.

Also, if you visit the site poke around and mouse over stuff. Things move, get highlighted, etc.
