Thread: Painful scenes in movies that made you wince (POSSIBLE SPOILERS)
LowercaseE 03:25 16th January 2008
I've seen SOOOOOOOOOOO many such scenes that I can't even remember many of them. A few highlights:

CANNIBAL HOLOCAUST - The WHOLE movie makes me whince. This is not something I watch a lot, but it is a film I respect.

THE UNTOLD STORY - When the killer murders an entire family, including children as young as 2 or 3 and they show everything. Sickening.

MEN BEHIND THE SUN - Some VERY graphic and highly unsettling scenes in this one. In particular, the dissection of a young boy which is purportedly mixed in with real footage. The worst part is that it is all based on true accounts of the Japanese prison camps during WWII

I SPIT ON YOUR GRAVE - The 20 or so minutes of repeated rapes on Camille Keaton's character is absolutely sickening and very hard to watch.

CHAOS - Pretty much a shot for shot remake of LAST HOUSE ON THE LEFT. I generally don't care for remakes at all, but this one was brutal. The rape/murders of the 2 girls are extremely realistic and very, VERY ugly. I saw this in a theatre and I have never been more uncomfortable in my life. The movie itself if pretty useless, but those 2 scenes will stick in my head for a LONG time (unfortunately).

THE DESCENT - When the one chick breaks her leg after falling down a cavern and they have to push the bone back in to try to help her. UGH!!!!

FLOWER OF FLESH AND BLOOD - The entire thing is disturbing. Better watched on a 3rd or 4th generation VHS copy than on DVD to get the full effect.

AFTERMATH - Nacho Cerda's short film is one of the most bizare and unsettling things I've ever seen. The look in the main characters eyes is enough to send chills up your spine.

PSYCHO: THE SNUFF REELS - Another Japanese psuedo-snuff flick that mixes in hardcore porn with dismemberment (and not necessarily in that order). Some of the fx are pretty obviously fake, but it's still very hard to watch. I don't understand how people can even film stuff like this?

HOUSE AT THE EDGE OF THE PARK - When David Hess's character is carving up that naked girl on the couch with a straight razor, very painful.

BEYOND THE DARKNESS - When they eat the "soup" and the housekeeper lady is sloppily just slurping it down. While there are plenty of other sick scenes in this film, that one nearly made me barf.

MY SWEET SATAN - The killing of the kid at the fire pit is extremely violent and hard to watch. The anger of the actors seems VERY real.

I could go on and on....

Is that one of the Guinea Pig releases? Never watched them, but it seems that they're pretty hard stuff.

Yeah, it's the second one if I remember correctly. It and THE DEVIL'S EXPERIMENT are the 2 "worst" of the series. The one called MERMAID IN A MANHOLE is gross but actually pretty interesting, for what it is. These aren't films that I've seen more than once or twice at most, more that I was just curious to see if I could stomach them.

The torture scene in Shoot Em Up made me feel a bit uneasy. It's not gross at all, but I just don't like the idea of broken fingers.

Anyone else don't like on-screen depictions of neck/finger/leg/knee/arm breakings?

I'm sure I saw one worse than that recently though. I will have to have a think and try to remember what it was.
My bird doesn't like Hostel because she was disappointed by the torture scenes.

She was hoping to see a lot more on the torture side of things.
Bit too tame for her tastes.

Bet you have to watch your step then!

For me it was good until the girl had her eye dangling out of the socket. That just looked unrealistic.

It's always the quiet ones who have the dungeon and the leather.

I guess when the news reports that an insane homicidal maniac has escaped a mental institute and that everyone should keep their doors and windows shut that most of you respond with "Oh I so hope he visits us."
Then put cookies and milk outside with a mat reading 'welcome' while you wait for his arrival.

Well, guys, when I plan to break out, I will do you ALL the honour of letting you know *twitch*.

"When you plan to break up"? So you don't see a future in your current relationship then? Does she know that?
