    As in what movie scene did you feel most uncomfortable watching.

    The scene between father and son wins hands down for me. Very well acted but damn hard to watch.

    EDIT - In the movie Happiness

    My vote would be ;

    Audition
    for the 'Kirikirikiri' scene involving the piano wire.
    Wolf creek
    for the 'knifey in the spiney' bit.

    'Savior'
    The croat using a club hammer to kill the serbs pulled from the bus.

    Blair witch project (dont laugh)
    where the people could run away but instead stood facing the wall in terror waiting to be killed.

    Some parts of the 'Wind that Shakes the barley' were uncomfortable to watch as are some in 'The resurrection man'.

    There are more graphic & more violent ones that which were not as uncomfortable due to the way the violence is portrayed - such as some of those in 'Come and see' or 'Gangster No 1' 'Schindlers list, 'War' (Voyna) and some others.

    Some of the Guinea Pigs stuff is pretty twisted
    needle in the eye
    but it's not as bad as the rape scene in Irreversible.

    Whenever I'm watching a movie with the family and a hot sex scene comes on. It's always uncomfortable when your parents are there.

    Sorry.. my parents are always showing up in houses with the lure of a good movie sex scene!

    The ass to ass bit in requiem for a dream. Not so much because of the sex just because of the build up to it and what its for.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 10,921 ✭✭✭✭Pigman II


    That scene in Bad Boy Bubby where
    Bubby is having sex with his flabby assed mother.

    Actually I lie. I found it quite arousing.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 9,081 ✭✭✭ziedth


    In no particular order,

    American history X: Bite the Crub, Chilling to the bone
    Deliverence: Squeal Piggy, No explanation needed
    Saw past number 2: The death scenes just got a little too much for my taste
    In Bruges: When Colin Farrel kills the
    Boy
    , That scene is haunting

    Hostel 2...I like violence in films but this film is for sickos who get off watching people get tortured...no redeeming features whatsoever about it.

    For me it has to be the scene in Saving Private Ryan where the American Soldier ( I think it's Adam Goldberg - Crazy Eddie from Friends ), is in a fight with a German Soldier in a house.

    The German guy starts getting the upper hand and slowly starts to push a knife into the American, who can do nothing about it and knows he can't stop it. The German is whispering to him as he's killing him. The fact that it's so slow and deliberate, not in a cruel way, the German's not enjoying it or delaying the moment, he's just that little bit stronger than the American, so the knife is slowly getting lower and lower and going into the American. The nature of if has always unsettled me.

    I later found out ( good old IMDB ) that the German is saying this as he kills him...

    "Give up, you don't stand a chance. Let's end this here. It will be easier for you, much easier. You'll see it will be over quickly."

    Very uncomfortable scene...

    Sorry guys...i edited my original post. It was a scene from Happiness.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 9,925 ✭✭✭Otis Driftwood


    The sex scene in The War Zone.
    The girl stifling back screams and the whole notion of this scene makes this extremly hard for me to watch

    For some reason the scene in Hellraiser 2
    when the mental patient on the bloodied matress starts slicing himself up with the straight razor gets me every time.

    Practially the entire 80 odd minutes of Mordum.:P

    Yup that film is a joke. The whole 'bath of blood' bit was pointless and excessive and summed up everything that is wrong with the new wave of horror films. One of those films that was just violent for the sake of being violent.
    Cutting open the baby
    in Eraserhead is also a very uncomfortable moment. Not that its terrifying or controversial or anything, its just really ****ing weird.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 8,067 ✭✭✭L31mr0d


    Saw 3
    Where the guy is in the device that twists his arms, legs and then head one by one until they break

    I've stopped watching the Saw movies since that as it was pointless and just revolting.

    Also the scene in Funny Games where
    they make the wife strip in front of her son and husband, and then the scene after they kill her son

    Absolutely.
    Especially the fact that you hear the gun outside of the camera shot and for a while you don't know who was killed. It's shocking when you see the boy's body.

    I usually have a high threshold when it comes to watching disturbing scenes but I had to walk out of the cinema when watching the beating scene in Passion of the Christ. I saw it again later, but the first time I was really freaked out by it.


  • Moderators Posts: 51,922 ✭✭✭✭Delirium


    Ichi the Killer, some of the torture scenes in that film are insane.

    If you can read this, you're too close!

    28 Weeks Later: The scene where Robert Carlisle meets his wife again and....shudder.

    Sorry guys...i edited my original post. It was a scene from Happiness.

    I think you mean The Pursuit of Happiness?

    Good call on the scene from Saving Private Ryan.

    I suppose you become less sensitive to a scene after multiple viewings but some scenes that stand out to me from when I first saw the film.

    Last House on the Left: Given its such a low budget shoot it almost came across as being real, the scene where the whackos make the girls perform acts on each other before carving them up was pretty unsettling.

    Priest: All the love scenes in the movie were very graphic making it unpleasant to watch. Anyone who has seen it knows what Im talking about!

    As for the OP's original choice, Happiness - that is one messed up film!!

    I think he's talking about this movie: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0147612/

    and it's "The Pursuit of Happyness"

    Irreversible - extinguisher scene & raep scene pretty tough going.

    another one came to me, the movie where I first learnt the term "hobbling" *shudder*

    In trainspotting when he's hallucinating looking at the ceiling and keeps seeing the baby, freaks me out.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 153 ✭✭Ruthie-Roux


    In no particular order:
    "Candy"
    The miscarriage scene-enough said
    "The Passion of the Christ"
    the whipping scene where chunks of flesh are literally being ripped from his back. I was actually in tears when I watched it first.
    "Hostel": The whole film. Its just sick and disturbing and I would worry about anyone who enjoyed watching that sort of thing. I walked out of the cinema.
    "Requim for a Dream"
    the scene where they amputate his arm
    "American History X"
    The bite the kerb scene
    "The Orphanage"
    A spanish fim. The scene where they run over the old woman and her jaw is hanging off.
    "Mommy Dearest"
    the scene where the mother chops off the little girls hair. Its not gruesome, I just was very disturbed by it
    "The Wind That Shakes the Barley"
    where they rip Teddys fingernails off
    "The Last King of Scotland"
    the scene where you see the mutilated body of Amins`wife on the table with all her limbs sewn on in the wrong places

    I am getting weak even thinking about these so I have to stop here. Sorry, Im a wimp I know:(

    No I'd say he's talking about Happiness. Great film but that scene with the Dad and the son is VERY uncomfortable.

    Good call.

    Pans Labyrinth when
    captain Vidal batters the guy with the bottle and when the guy with the stutter is getting tortured at the end and gets his hand sawn down the middle.not overly graphic but still a bit shocking


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 2,057 ✭✭✭Wacker


    I could watch any of the scenes mentioned above with the exception of the hobbling scene in Misery. I have such an irrational fear of breaking limbs.

    Another scene that I will never watch again is Quint's nails on the blackboard in Jaws. I have to put the whole scene on mute and look away.

    Give me anything over those.

    The final scene in Ai No Corrida:
    She only wants part of her lover.

    You are the type of what the age is searching for, and what it is afraid it has found. I am so glad that you have never done anything, never carved a statue, or painted a picture, or produced anything outside of yourself! Life has been your art. You have set yourself to music. Your days are your sonnets.

    Irreversible Rape scene just disturbs the crap out of me, it seriously upsets me even when I think about it :(

    EDIT - In the movie Happiness

    Which father and son scene? There were a lot of them....


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 108 ✭✭johnson1


    the baby scene in Pride and Glory was the first time i ever felt really uncomfortable in the cinema i almost couldn't watch.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,143 ✭✭✭D-FENS


    Yup that film is a joke. The whole 'bath of blood' bit was pointless and excessive and summed up everything that is wrong with the new wave of horror films.

    Excessive certainly, but the point of it was she was meant to be like Elizabeth Báthory, the Hungarian Countess who bathed in virgin's blood believing it would preserve her youth, the end credits for Hostel 2 even has her listed as "Mrs. Bathory". Although she certainly seemed to be enjoying the blood in more ways than a moisturizer should provide.

    The Blow-torch scene from the first Hostel was more disturbing for me, that was horrific.

    And that poor fecker in Scum who done himself in after getting raped


  • Moderators, Business & Finance Moderators Posts: 3,816 Mod ✭✭✭✭LFCFan


    The opening Scene in Seed with the animal cruelty. I think it's the first time I've ever felt really uncomfortable watching a movie. Probably because it was real footage. The
    head bashing
    scene was pretty gruesome too even though it was obviously cgi.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 34,727 ✭✭✭✭Penn


    Kerb-biting scene in American History X
    Old bath woman from The Shining

    both horrifying for very different reasons


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,626 ✭✭✭Stargal


    Find it really hard to watch scenes where people are being graphically and pointlessly hurt.

    Zodiac -
    when the killer gets to the young couple having a picnic and stabs them.

    And as others have mentioned, The Wind that Shakes the Barley, American History X and Pan's Labyrinth.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 772 ✭✭✭X-Calibre


    This is England - Final scene in the apartment


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 22,905 ✭✭✭✭Handsome Bob


    American History X where Ed Norton's character makes the black guy bite the kerb. The sound of his teeth on concrete is horrific.

    I'd like to add the shower scene to that too. A few scenes in A Time To Kill also, namely the closing statement of the defence and the little girl getting raped.
