Thread: Painful scenes in movies that made you wince (POSSIBLE SPOILERS)
Sharingan 16:15 17th September 2007
Can you think of any memorable torture/killing/mutilation scene that made you feel thoroughly sick to the stomach?

Remember, this thread may contain spoilers, so read at your own risk!



The most recent one that comes to mind is the torture scene in CASINO ROYALE. Watching Bond getting whacked in the family jewels repeatedly like that made me want to throw up. Possibly the most brutal torture scene ever devised in a movie, even though no sharp things were used, at all.

Seriously, can a man survive that kind of punishment?

Although many have said they thought is wasn't that great a film, a few of the torture scenes in Hostel were quite realistic and made me feel a bit uncomfortable watching them. The storyline and plot were quite dire though.

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.

Yes it was. It received better write ups than the first, but I've not seen it yet.

While Hostel wasn't a very good film, I think the premise behind it is a very, very unsettling one. The very idea that such a practise actually may or may have existed in some form or another is enough to make me sick. After watching the film, I sure have asked myself many times ... "What if it happened to me?"

A very scary thought.

Some of the scenes were very brutal, yes ... the most unsettling scene, in my opinion, was when the main character is dragged through the hallway to his cell, and while looking left and right - seeing people being mutilated and hearing their tortured screams - it dawns upon him what unimaginable horrors are going on around him, and what horrors are awaiting him in a few moments. A very well-shot scene, in my opinion - it captured the atmosphere perfectly.

You have to watch some Takashi Miike films, some very real and disgusting torture scenes.

Get Ichi the Killer, a masterpiece

In the Masters of Horor collection is also one by Miike called Imprint. There's a torture scene where a girl sticks needles under another ones finger nails, uncut.
