    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.

    The Hills have Eyes where they get attacked at night in the caravan.

    The "Squeal piggy squeal!" bit in Deliverance.

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


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 6,414 ✭✭✭kraggy


    Rape scene in Irreversible.

    Or the daughter hanging from the tree in Once Were Warriors.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,745 ✭✭✭doonothing


    The octopus bit in Oldboy..
    Or most of the original Shutter!

    The whole movie Titanic.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,976 ✭✭✭rizzla


    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.

    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.

    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: 52,107 ✭✭✭✭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.
