The fire extinguisher scene in Irreversible has to be hands down the most violent scene ever! I cringe everytime I watch it. The rape scene in the same movie is just as disturbing.

What's the most violent/disturbing scene or film you've seen?
I agree! Irreversible unpleasant to watch (good movie though), and not only because the strong scenes. The camera and the low-frequent sound produces the effect of dizzyness.

I also want to mention Cannibal Holocaust, great movie (compared to 99% of all cannibal movies), great effects, very unpleasant. Riz Ortolani's soundtrack is great and strengthens many scenes, such as the scene when those bastards burn the natives alive, etcetera.

The casual rape in a clockwork orange is pretty disturbing in hindsight, a lot more than it was when i was watching it.

1984

Have you ever seen the mini-series "Epitafios"?

Almost every episode has a extremely disturbing scene - like when Bruno forces Marina to shoot her own mother or to eat a stew made out of one of his ex-friends he'd recently murdered.

Creepy.

Torture and brain-washing scenes in 1984. I cannot think of anything more disgusting and disturbing than such manipulation of the mind.

I found the rape scenes in both "Baise Moi" and "Straw dogs" very uncomfortable viewing.

Rape scenes definitely disturb me the most. The most disturbing experience I've ever had was actually in one of the Mad Max movies where a woman is raped. I just felt like a needed a shower. :(

Hostel is extremely graphic, but more in a horror gore-fest way. I don't want to spoil it so I shall say no more, but do not do as I did and eat a bag of fairy floss whilst viewing. *eeurch*

Being a sci-fi nut, the movies that give me a wobbly stomach have a generally sci-fi theme to them.

First and foremost is Event Horizon. I've heard people describe it as The Exorcist in space, but since I haven't seen it I wouldn't know. I do know that this ship researching some sort of wormhole type FTL appears in the orbit of Neptune sans crew, and a rescue team discovers the ship is not all that it appears.
I think this film uses gore in a very clever way - it doesn't deluge you in blood and innards, but it doesn't totally rely on suspense either. The goriest bits you see in a fraction of a second, enough to give you an idea but also enough to let your imagination run riot. Fucking excellent cinematography.

Also, another fav of mine is John Carpenter's The Thing. This is another one of those films that doesn't entirely rely on gorey scenes to convey the horror - the team of an arctic base discover some frozen alien creature in the nearby Norwegian base, bring it back, it thaws out and all hell breaks loose.
I think the sheer putrid horror of the Thing itself, what it does to the base inhabitants, the desolate location of the the antarctic base, and the last scene which kept me wondering, is bloody brilliant. This is was one of the few films that kept me awake at night, it is that good.

If anyone of you has seen either of these films, speak up and let me know what you think.

I forgot all about that movie. What happens to the dogs in The Thing is horrible. I think that was the part that got to me most and the bit where it looks like a gigantic pooh made of pus and all things gross. Even though it does look a bit dated now, it's use of sheep entrails is still alot better than alot of the big budget effects used in contemporary films.

Event horizon was an interesting film if ultimately unsatisfactory in it's conclusion.
It reminded me more of Hellraiser than the Exorcist with perhaps elements of 2001 a Space odessey and Solaris. It certainly has all the atmosphere and claustrophobia of say, the first Alien film.

While the film left much to be desired, the scene in House of 1000 Corpses where the psycho skins ths girls father and then wears his skin as he tries to fuck her was pretty greasy.

The scene in Casino in the end where they beat those dudes with baseball bats then bury them alive.

Mother of Jebus, that's just nasty...

The few sections of Saw 1 that I've seen (I've got a firm stomach, but hell I don't need to see that) were pretty screwed up. When the girl had to cut open her boyfriend to get the key for that thing on her head was pretty nasty. Not the hugest gorefest compared to some of the other stuff mentioned here, but still pretty screwed up.

I saw that bit of American History X - I have a thing about teeth and I nearly threw up at that bit, urgh...

Oh and for a more traditional horror movie, I recommend Switchblade Romance, a French-made film. Buckets of blood are shed in many nasty ways in this one. It also has a twist in the tail.

What is it about horror films that have unexpected endings?

There was a film released in the late 70's , under two different names- 'Day of the Woman' and 'I spit on your grave'.
Starring the stunning granddaughter of Buster Keaton, Camille Keaton, this movie is hard to watch. Repeated brutal gang rapes...it's real nasty.
It was/is(?) banned in the UK.

But other than that, Once Were Warriors when the young daughter Grace gets raped, or the part were she hangs herself. Or when Jake beats the shit outta' his wife. Really good movie though.

21st March 2006, 19:14

requiem for a dream didn't depict violence on nearly the same level as the films people have been mentioning, in fact you could say that the real content was really fairly tame...but it was edited in such a way and had such an involving sound track that it has to be among the most emotionally disturbing viewing experiances...which is a lot more creative then just graphic violence.

^ That movie/book is sick. A girl at my school was flaunting it as "her bible". She wouldn't let people touch it unless they washed their hands. It was strange.

Hostel was utterly disgusting. It wasn't even in good taste! The first 45 minutes were pretty good...then the guys achilles tendons cut and it goes way downhill from there.

Hate the fucking thing.

The rape in 'A Clockwork Orange'

Jimmie Higgins

26th March 2006, 05:54

ANyone seen this reactionary french film: "Irreversiable"? The film goes backwards in time starting with a bruthal murder, then a brutal rape and then me throwing up and thinking that my roomate had dusted the stuff he had passed to me.

Literally, I thought I had been slipped some PCP. No joke, the movie freaked me out that much. Disgusting! One-shot without an obvious cut of someone literally getting their skull bashed in and then a 10 minute rape scene - also without any cut aways. Barf.

I have to add I'm not easily shocked by movies either. "A Clockwork Orange" is surreal and so it isn't all that disturbing to me.

The most distrubing moments in cinema history for me came from the Pianist. Omg when the little boy was trying to sqeuze through the gutter and then gets kiked to death :o Really disturbing and when they throw the poor old man in the wheel chair off the balcony :( REALLY DISTURBING MOVIE! couldnt sleep after that.

The most goryst movie had to be in my opinion Kill Bill Vol.1 So much blood and sick shit verry uneccecary but fun to wacht only hated when it turn to black and white and couldnt see the blood but boy did my imagination run wild :o

The most disturbing movie ive seen by far is Aurore. Its a french film about a Quebec-girl wo is abused over and over by her mother. It is not graphic or bloody and most is left to the imagination but when you hear her scream as her mother is branding her over and OVER, well i just felt like vommiting. I can generally handle blood and guts but this was beyond in-humane. :(

1: It's not a shitty film. It was Very well made and is worth watching even if you are not Christian.

2: It is NOT 2 hours of Jesus being tortured, there is though one 5 minute seen of him being brutally beaten and whipped in a courtyard by the Romans and it is quite disturbing.

3: I would definitely encourage you to spend the three dollars and rent it. It makes you think about who was at fault, then again, Jesus was born to die.

The rape scene in Straw Dogs was the worst thing I've seen. There were no super boogeymen, no surreal situations. In many movies it is easy to dismiss the disturbing scenes because the whole story itself is often less than plausible. This wasn't really the case with Straw Dogs.

In general though I find rape scenes and other forms of sexual violence to be disturbing and comepletely unnecessary.

Generally speaking, most film analysts have said that Pasolini's Salò is the most disturbing film ever made. I did not found it disturbing. The only scene which I have found disturbing is actually an authentic torture scene from Iraq during the times of Saddam, where a defectionist gets his tongue ripped out.

I guess that I would get a hell for linking this, but I must, just to show you what I mean.

That isn'y really that disturbing, even though it is an explosive and violent movie.

I actually love the prison guards scene, not particuarly because I like what Mickey stands for, but because of the energy in the following scenes with a good soundtrack, most fitting.

I agree, Irreversible is very distubing, the rape scene was disturbing and sick. But the head bashing scene is one of the most shocking and violent things i've ever seen.
