Goriest scene you've ever seen?

    OK Karl... best i could come up with.

    I'm gonna take a fairly unknown route in that the goriest scene i ever witnessed.. and probably the most disturing was in a little film called 'Society' made in the late 80's.

    Don't know if many people have seen this film but
    the last 10 minutes where the hero of the film (Bill) is ripped to pieces and eatan alive. It's truly a horrifying sight... and when i saw it as a young child, i was scared sh*tless!

    Though i saw it again recently and though the effects looked terrible (what do you expect?).. it's still a pretty unsettling scene.

    So... everyone share their own?

    EDIT: Here's some screencaptures from it:

    The whipping scene from the passion of christ.
    10 minutes of viscious(sp?) whipping and then they turn him over. Nice n gory

    Hmm..

    Lots and lots of scenes in Ichi The Killer. Componded by the fact that Ichi gets a hard on after any of the gory bits.

    Oh... and the scene from the end of Audition.

    Oh.. and there is a scene in The Isle where
    a character ties a load of fish hooks on the end of a fishing line and sticks it down his throat and then tries to pull it back up. And later on the main female character does the same thing... but she's not using her throat... oh no...

    If we're talking gore, it's not how much that counts, but how stylishly it's done. Case in point the decapitation in Switchblade Romance. Nasty! Or 'that' scene in Audition.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 81 ✭✭RedRules5


    Most of the jungle scenes in Cannibal Holocaust but the killing of the tortoise was particularly nasty.

    Audition.
    If you've seen it you know the scene.

    BASQUIIIILLLLE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! ...spoiler tags please..
    i realise its a reasonably famous scene, but i had not heard the details..!


    Goriest scene i've seen [:rolleyes:] is probably braindead..
    its the only one that comes to mind off the top of my head..
    its not disturbing, just extremely gory..

    Apologies... added spoiler tags now!

    You mean the
    lawnmower scene?
    .. but you still can't beat the scene where
    they all sit down to eat tapioca (or rice pudding.. whatever!) and the pus from the mother's wound squirts into one of the guest's bowls and thinks it's jam! :eek:
    Horrifying!!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 10,291 ✭✭✭✭Standard Toaster


    Irréversible

    Some of the scenes from this film spring to mind.
    The scene where the guy gets his head smashed in with the fire extingiser all in one shot. Also the rape scene....again, all one take.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 23,216 ✭✭✭✭monkeyfudge


    And also in that scene in Brain Dead
    doesn't the mother's ear fall off into the pudding and she eats it back up?

    I seen that Society film years ago. I remember it being really, really terrible. And that scene at the end was a bit of a shock though, as it really didn't seem to fit in with the rest of the film. It was like they had the film almost finished and realised they had money left over... so what do they do? BLOOD ORGY!!!

    Oh yeah.. forgot about that one! God Bless PJ's early films.. Bad Taste, Brain Dead, Meet The Feebles etc... all pure gore-fests!

    Yeah.. the film itself was an absolute turd!... but it was the
    ripping through flesh and the.. well, guess they're cannibals.. face's being stretched and sucking flesh / fat out of their prey. HORRIBLE!

    PS - you get those Family Guy DVD's, monkeyfudge?

    I'm gonna go with the barbed wire room scene from Susperia.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 29,930 ✭✭✭✭TerrorFirmer


    Braindead, the end scene. Anyone who has seen it just knows.... :D

    Hmmm...Cannibal holocaust? Some of the killings in that, gross, some of them fake, some of then unbelievably realistic...

    The part in Zombie holocaust where they gouge out the guys eyes and eat them, then rip all his insides out...pretty sick....

    A few scenes in lucio fulcis "The beyond"....

    There are probably so many more, just cant think of them right now, its too late at night.. :D

    agreed, that scene is probably the hardest to watch in the whole film..and one of the most cringeworthy ive seen.. shes such a disgusting creature in the first place.. .

    I dont know about gore for cannibal holocaust.. its not exactly a larf to watch but its not really bloody as far as i remember.. .. just unnerving.. (imho)..

    theres a scene from maniac aswell, where
    tom savini gets shot in the head with a shotgun, its one of the best head explosions and gory effects i've seen..
    (thats not really a story spoiler just a murder scene spoiler in case your wondering);;...
    in fact there are the last scene in that movie could be a contender too....


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,056 ✭✭✭applehunter


    That scene near the end of Audition was the worst ive seen. Ive never seen anything that bad before. Most horror gore isnt really that realistic so its no as bad.

    But nothing prepared me for THAT scene. AHHHHHH!!! :eek:

    I was just thinking of that :)

    Switchblade Romance - the decapitation scene. Still makes me shudder.

    The 'Audition' scene was built up so much that, when I saw it, it wasn't half as bad as I feared it would be. That's your fault Boards people! :D


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 45,423 ✭✭✭✭Basq


    Must try and get a hold of Audition..!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,581 ✭✭✭CyberGhost


    hannibal - the brain operation - the goriest ever, and the fact that they guy is alive, that scene is gory


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 8,503 ✭✭✭Makaveli


    The good thing about Audition is
    pretty much nothing happens for the first half of the film, in fact it's pretty dull, then it all gets flipped on it's head. Some twisted shít goes on in that film.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,005 ✭✭✭Creature


    Day of the Dead.
    The end when most of the characters get killed off. The Rhodes character being pulled apart and eaten by zombies at the end. Intestines....everywhere. Using real animal organs and meat really made that scene extra realistic. Apparently when they filmed it everyone on set had their noses plugged as the smell so was bad. That image of one of the zombies sitting down against a wall munching on a line of intestines will never leave me.
    theres a scene from maniac aswell, where
    tom savini gets shot in the head with a shotgun, its one of the best head explosions and gory effects i've seen

    No one does head explosions like Tom Savini ;)

    Oh yeah.. i forgot about that one!

    Here's me thinking no-one had seen 'Society'.. seems like quite a few have seen it!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 398 ✭✭reece


    there's a scene in '28 days later' near the start when there's the possibility of one of the three survivors holed up in a house has been infected. The female character jumps on him and starts hacking him to death.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 152 ✭✭avatar


    chainsaw in scarface was kinda rough.

    The tree rape in The Evil Dead was good too.

    I can't think of much else....


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 293 ✭✭Buck Owens


    Like above and that Chainsaw scene? How about some "You think you saw it but you actually did'nt" scenes like the Kerb scene in American History X?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,229 ✭✭✭samo


    thanks people, was just about to go and eat lunch. Think I will prolong the taking of my lunch break now to recover!

    Damn me and my curiosity when I saw this thread.

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,229 ✭✭✭samo


    I'm in work till 11pm and will be running quickly to my car in case there's a crazed bunch of Zombies waiting to munch on my intestines when I leave!

    The chainsaw/bathtub scene in Scarface
    The suspension hooks and boiling water/oil scene in Ichi
    The "Bite The Kerb" scene in American History X stands out due to you being able to hear the sound of his teeth scraping the concrete as he puts his mouth to the kerb.
