Most uncomfortable scene to watch

The Bollox

most of mine have already been said:

the kerb bit in American History X
The rape scene and the fire extinguisher scene in Irreversible

one that hasn't been said is the reverse beartrap thing in Saw. I know nothing happens but it still freaked the **** out of me

rob316

The scene in the end of casino, where joe pesci and his brother are beaten to death and buried alive, hard one to watch.

The most upsetting scenes for me by far were in 'The Passion of the Christ'-I cried my eyes out, just horrific. The scourging scene in particular and the one where Mary remembers Him as a little boy falling and hurting His knee.:(
The rape scene in 'The Accused'. :eek:
The 'Saw' and 'Hostel' films, I love horror films but those type of films that just show tortue and suffering are stomach turning. There are too many weirdos getting off on that kind of stuff nowadays!
The rape of

Marcellus Wallace

in 'Pulp Fiction'.
The scene in 'The wind that shakes the barley' where

Cillian Murphy's character shoots Chris for betraying them

The scene in 'The Green Mile' where

Delacroix' is executed without the sponge

, can't watch that.

Ste05

Hotel Rwanda has a couple of uncomfortable scenes, I haven't watched it in a while so can't remember any particular uncomfortable scenes, but I remember after watching it being pretty affected, I think the fact that it all went on so recently and so near to us here. Disturbing stuff IMO.

I think there's a scene in it somewhere when they hack up a woman/baby (trying to escape out the back entrance) with a machete

not overly graphic IIRC, but pretty disturbing nonetheless.

Spunge

i also think happiness for me. I found it a bit disturbing most scenes with the paedophile and his kid.

Greendaze

Blair witch project the last few scenes where they were in the old house still kinda creep me out!

Watched Mirrors lately and the scene where your one gets her jaw ripped off in the bath was very uncomfortable to watch!

Good god, I thought this ridiculous notion had been put to bed already.

The audiences for gore movies don't "get off" on it, and of course it's stomach turning, that's the whole point! These films are meant to disgust and disturb, that's how they horrify their audience, it's a whole gross-out angle. Take Day of the Dead for example, the infamous death scene of Captain Rhodes, it's absolutely vile, disgusting, grotesque, horrifying, makes me want to puke, but it's bloody brilliant!

As far uncomfortable scenes Cabin Fever. The shaving scene... And you know what makes it so uncomfortable? It's like when you've got an itchy bite or something, and you keep scratching it because it makes it feel better for the moment, but just makes things worse? That's probably how the girl in Cabin Fever felt... *Shudder*

Yes it might be briliant....there's nothing brilliant about Hostel/Saw etc...just sick ****e.
Anyone that classes these as good films are serious headcases imo

Donkeys. The first Saw was a great, intelligent and well written film. The second one wasn't too bad either. If you're going to make a sweeping statement and call it all "Sick ****e" then you probably haven't watched the films in question.

I thought both Hostel films were good films, and I think Eli Roth is a great director with a keen grasp of tension and pacing. Take the first Hostel for example, one of my favorite parts is where Paxton and Josh are trying to find their friend Oli, and end up chasing someone wearing a similar jacket. It's just this wonderfully paced, well filmed, and gripping scene that reminds me a lot of Don't Look Know (One of my favourite horrors). There's a hell of a lot of black humour in there as well, that a lot of the *rabble rabble, sick ****e* crowd never seem to notice, and it all makes for a solid and entertaining gore film.

Calling any depiction of onscreen violence sick is a logical fallacy as far as I'm concerned; why is acceptable to watch and enjoy people being gunned down, shot and die for entertainment, yet unacceptable to watch someone killed with a chainsaw, machete or other horror movie item? We see as much graphic violence in the average gangster movie, be it Joe Pesci squeezing someone's head in a vice and popping their eye out, or getting his brains splattered out and blood pouring all over the floor in Goodfellas, yet nobody thinks it sick to enjoy these films and these scenes. It's almost the opposite in fact, people rejoice it the violent endings of Scarface and Taxi Driver! But for some reason, seeing Paxton take revenge at the end of Hostel, you must have mental problems if you enjoy that? Garbage! Violence is violence, and it's either acceptable or it's not, picking and choosing what genre it's acceptable in is bull****.

I really, really cannot stand this passing of moral judgments on people who enjoy certain types of films, it isn't sick and it isn't deviant. You may not like those films, but I would certainly say the people who do like them are entitled to, without being labeled in an ignorant manner.

I've never seen a snuff film, but I was disturbed by some scenes in a film about a snuff film: 8MM. Not a feel-good film, you might say.

What happened Joaquin Phoenix's character was bad, but it was more horrible to learn that the film was real, and that revenge was never going to be sufficient.

i have a fairly twisted sense of humour so nothing really makes me uncomfortable in a movie tbh

Jesus you must be pretty sheltered in terms of movie exposure if you view these as sick mate.Take a film like Audition,one of the most gruelling endings Ive ever seen and infinitly more intense and nasty than saw/hostel/wrong turn etc yet it is continually praised(and rightly so)as a brilliant modern psychological horror movie.Movies like saw etc are a fad IMO,same as the 90s was littered with Scream clones,they will eventually die a death and end up being straight to video releases.My dislike of the saw franchise is well documented elsewhere so Im not going to get into it again but in regards to Hostel,I loved the first one,gritty,well shot and an enjoyable ride,plus,how many horror movies can boast a cameo from Takashi Miike .The second one was disappointing to me personally but its still an average horror movie that doesnt descend into the farcical nature of the saw sequels where a decent script is substituted for riduculous plot twists.

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...

J.

In all the films I've watch the scene you describe is the only one I have trouble watching again. I think it's so personal and intimate the way the two of them are giving everything to struggle to live.

Snuff movies are an urban legend. It all snowballed after a movie called "Snuff" came out. Great use of viral marketing.

FiddlersElbowfi

I second the scene in Saving private Ryan where the German kills the American so slowly and deliberately. There's something about that scene that stays with you, the helplessness of the guy being killed is a horrible feeling to have.
Also for me, remember seeing Casino on TV at Christmas time a good few years ago and the scene where Joe Pesci stabs the guy over and over with the biro (I think it was a biro) turned my stomach for days afterwards, I couldnt get it out of my head. The guy just squealing in pain was awful.
Those two jump out for me as unsettling to watch. Some of the killings in Hostel and other horrors were look away type scares but didnt have that feeling that stayed with me for days afterwards.

I bet that is hard to watch;)

Pigman II

Wasn't one beaten to death and the other buried alive (so technically he could be correct)

NotInventedHere

The end of "the mist"

'Ol Jack Chance

As said above the scene in saving private ryan where Adam Goldberg is stabbed, also a few minutes later in the film an american soldier is kinda crawling on his knee's shellshocked and a german soldier runs up to him, coldly shoots him, and runs on. Something about it just struck a cord.

Another one I dont think has been mentioned yet is Natural Born Killers, the scene with the canned laughter where juliette lewis's character is arguing with her father is saying disgusting stuff and the "audience" laughter keeps happening, something about that scene just freaks me out a lil.

helimachoptor

The one in Saving Private Ryan where the German they let go is in hand to hand combat with the guy "eddie" who was in friends for a couple of episodes, I'm all for blood and guts but the fact this scene has played out in countless wars is something i find hard to watch.

Well said Ned, on this point especially. I feel that largely, a lot of the more psychological horrors were also some of the goriest, be it Cronenberg's, Romero's or Argento's films, Hellraiser or The Thing, or many more. It's symptomatic of a lot of the very bloodless violence that came about in the 90's that people have forgotten just how violent films used to be. Even by today's standards, I find a lot of films from the 70's and 80's to be far gorier than the likes of Hostel.

It's true with action films as well, violence had been overly stylish and relatively bloodless, which is something I've found a little more disturbing than gore itself; it showed violence without consequence, and marketing violence to younger and younger audiences. Older action films were a lot more violent, such as Robocop (and speaking of uncomfortable scenes, Murphy getting shot to pieces was a nasty one, or Emil's death), and we're really only seeing action films today claim back that grittier edge, such as the new Rambo.

Look up any scene in 'August Underground Mordem'...

.. trumps everything so far... a terrible film but a terribly sick film - it was made solely with the intention of being a sick depraved film!

The only film that made me feel physically ill!

Victim(s) #9 & #10

Two whores party with Fred and cameraman. One disappears, only to be discovered later in the basement being raped from behind by Fred while he smashes her skull in with clawhammer. Her whore friend makes a run for it and is chased (presumed caught, tortured and murdered).





August Underground's MORDUM

Mental Note - Avoid these films at all costs!

The August Underground movies are great.Ive got my 3 signed snuff editions and they are some of my favourite items in my collection:D.(incidently,the 3 of em are available directly from Fred here - http://cgi.ebay.com/AUGUST-UNDERGROUND-TRILOGY-RARE-OOP-SET_W0QQitemZ180307605348QQcmdZViewItemQQptZUS_DVD_HD_DVD_Blu_ray?hash=item180307605348&_trksid=p3286.c0.m14&_trkparms=72%3A1205%7C66%3A2%7C65%3A12%7C39%3A1%7C240%3A1318 )-The movies are somewhat misunderstood though.They really need to be viewed as a trilogy.
They are a commentary on the the vouyeristic nature of modern society with the advent of thousands of reality TV shows like big brother.
They are,in my humble opinion,masterworks in modern,independant underground horror.
Obviously they are ment to shock but there is much more to them than that.

On topic - the scene in Nacho Cerda's Aftermath

when the mortician stabs the cadaver in the vagina really made me gasp.It was just so out of the blue.

Umbrella Corp

Where the guy gets his ankles cut in hostel. Couldn't watch!!
