To be honest.. the cock being lopped off in 'Hostel 2' was much more disturbing! :eek:

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.

yep, the whole end of that movie is just uncomfortable watching. Great movie though.

Now that I think about it though there is one movie scene that has stuck with me and I've always found hard to watch, probably just cause I was just a kid at the time..

It's a scene in Robocop.

after Boddicker blows Murphys hand off. They let him get up and crawl away, then they start calling him and he turns around, then they all open fire while laughing. damn.

spoiler tags are probably overkill but just in case..

Boskowski

When Borat (in the nip) wrestles the fat guy (also in the nude) forever and ever in the hotel room which was deliberately filmed like a gay sex scene. Was watching it on the laptop on a plane and I was gettin' paranoid about the whole plane havin' me down as the pervy gay fella.

I second this one....horrible scene.

A lot of great picks and many I've seen before but there's one nobody has mentioned yet, as that's Rescue Dawn and more specifically, Steve Zahn's character, Bale's fellow POW.

The scene itself where Zahn is first stabbed in his thigh by the villagers and literally a milisecond later is decapitated right in front of Bale's eyes. It all happens so quickly and is shot in such a throwaway style that its even more devastating because 1. forget about slo-mo and everything else, that's how quickly your life can actually be ended, 2. up to this point you do think that both men will make it home safe to their families 3. it was all based on a true story and he really did die beheaded and alone in the middle of nowhere

I actually felt sick to my stomach and couldn't get the scene out of my head for a week afterwards, I don't even like thinking about it now

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

I could not finish that film. It nearly made me sick, I had no idea what it was about going into it, but it had a great cast and good reviews. I remember the story on the back of the DVD was very sketchy. turned me off movies for weeks actually.
I could also not bring myself to watch the woodcutter.

Anyway, for sheer 'turn your head away from the screen' had to be Misery, where kathy Bates breaks james Caans ankles, and also the American History X Kerb biting. Good God!!!!:eek:

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.

Rewatched serpico recently, the rape scene near the start is short but as realistic and disturbing as anything I have ever seen on film. Very hard to recover from scenes of this brutality in films sometimes. Recent films could learn a thing or two from the realism of these groundbreaking flicks.

Very true indeed. I tell you another film that had a particularly hard to watch scene, Straw Dogs.

i agree... seen it for the first time when i was young and its rough alright....

personally when i used to watch Raiders of the Lost Ark when i was young... at the end when the Nazis open the Ark and there faces melt off and heads explode etc...

they were quite rough for PG movies...

also in the end of that Jet Li movie Kiss of the Dragon when blood starts oozing from the guy s eyes, ears and nose etc

Not to sure about that, Sam P, kind of made it look like she was enjoying it by some of the shots of her facial expressions, thats my impression, I only got around to watching it a few weeks back, doesn't really rate in the revoulsion levels of watching the rape in Irreversible.

David Cronenbergs "A History of Violence" and " Eastern Promises" where harrowing films to watch... some graphic scenes in these movies

A History of Violence is brilliant though, Eastern Promises was alright...

Vic Vinegar

Not sure if this has been mentioned yet, Inside (or L'interieur, it's French title) is quite disturbing most of the time. In particular

caesarian done on stairs with scissors

made me quite uncomfortable! good film though....

Zulu

I found the end of the mission, where

Robert DeNiros character is trying to set of the booby trap but fails

was hard watching for me.

Not in the same way as graphic violence, but uncomfortable in the: there's something very hard sticking in my throat and I'm blinking my eyes because of the draft...

Also, in Band of Brothers, when the survivors give a little talk before/after. These men actually lived that. They were there. ****ing hell.

Serenity Now!

Any rape scene, I can't watch.
They're disgusting. 'Monster' with Charlize Therón in the main role, for example, was very uncomfortable viewing.
The 'bloodmare' scene in 'Angel Heart' was another tough scene to watch as was Kevin Dillon attacking a villager with the butt of his rifle in 'Platoon'

Alicat

The scene with the baby in Pride & Glory (Colin Farrell and Ed Norton). Couldn't look at the screen and felt the tears welling up

Just thought of another one, my number 1 for most disturbing..the horrendous scene towards the end of 'Song for a Raggy Boy' where

the cruel b*stard priest kicks the wee fella to death

, Oh my God!! It makes it even worse knowing it's true. The bit where

the same fcuker whips the two little brothers in front of the whole school for meeting at the dividing wall in the playground to exchange their little xmas presents

is just awful too.

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*

The vast majority of folk who enjoy films like 'Hostel' are healthy normal mature adults but my point was that there are sick individuals who are stimulated by watching such films. There are on average 6000 people a year dying at the hands of a serial killer. According to the FBI there are between 35 and 50 serial killers at large in the US at the moment. Those are the types of films the likes of these people watch to arouse their compulsions.

So what? Watching a movie like Hostel doesnt turn someone into a serial killer.

Have you got anything to back that up?

Draupnir

Opening scene of Rules of Attraction,

Where the bird thinks she is getting shagged by the guy she likes at the party, then comes to and he is recording her getting done from behind by the fat lad (I think he pukes on her then)

, this really REALLY bothered me when I saw it in the cinema.

Basically any scene of a sexual nature like that really gets to me, dunno why.

Requiem for a Dream

Harry develops an arm sore and he injects directly into the wound.

For me, it's the Sniper scene in 'Black Hawk Down' where Gordon and Shugart volunteer to secure Durant's crash site knowing that they wouldn't receive help for quite some time Watching the snipers keep the Somali's at bay as long as they could but you knew that it was two vs. an army of angry millita.

Seeing Gordon and Shugart getting shot (Gordon gets one round in the head but Shugart is shot several times and his body stripped) was hard for me to stomach. They were posthumously awarded the Medal Of Honour - America's highest award for bravery, valour etc.

These guys put their lives on the line for the one pilot. The way it was filmed makes it incredible and hard to watch altogether.

I've read numerous books on the subject. Watching sexually violent movies wouldn't be the lone cause of serial murder but it certainly doesn't help. I remember reading one book, it could've been about Ted Bundy but i'm not sure, where it said he'd watched a well known sexually violent film-I can't remember which one, and he was worked up into a frenzy. He said early exposure to pornography turned him into a monster, however it clearly wasn't dirty mags alone that changed him! It takes a lot more than that.
My husband enjoys the 'Saw' films and the 'Hostel' films, I never said films like that make anyone serial killers but I personally don't believe it's a good thing to show people being tortured on film. It makes me uncomfortable to know that there are people all over the world enjoying them for the wrong reasons.

Charles Manson was partly influenced by the Beetles, should we ban the white album? One of the most popular book that serial killers read is Catcher in the Rye or the bible, do these also incite serial killers or will a mind that is crazy fixate on anything?

Bundy was a very intelligent man who knew exactly what to say to blame others and exactly what people would want to hear.
