The one that maxed out my creep-o-meter was Twisted Obsession* with Jeff Goldblum and Miranda Richardson.
Set in Paris. Jeff’s a writer. Miranda his agent. There’s a hot new director and his sister. Goldblum gets a thing for the sister, of course.
There are basically no good guys in this film. People are horrible. Near the end is one hella creepy scene.
Do not click on this.
I’m serious.
The sister goes missing. They go back to a body dissolving vat (!) at the Paris coroners lab or whatever. (Previously seen.) The body of the sister is shown swirling around among the other bodies. The first scene at the vat was bad enough. This one takes it to another level.
Goes by a lot of other names. Also known in English as The Mad Monkey.
The ISIS “documentary” where they put the Jordanian pilot in a cage and burned him to death. It is even more disturbing than the beheading videos to me and I had a coworker get legitimately pissed at me after I suggested he watch hit even after I warned him. I can take almost anything fake but this one was real.
Here is the link but it requires two clicks per board rules. You have been warned.
QFT. I had fallen asleep and woke up just in time for the rape scene. I was physically ill and had to leave the room. I will never, ever watch that movie again.
The rape scene in Irreversible, starring Monica Bellucci. It just goes on. And on. And on… If ever a film made a viewer experience some taste of how horrible it must be to actually be raped, this has to be it.
For me it’s the scene in Slum Dog Miliionaire where they refill a bottle of water from the tap so can sell it to another tourist. Make me re-live every case of the runs I’ve had travelling.
Hard to say. Probably more the idea? I generally dislike “buried alive” scenarios, and this is on the extremely weird end of that spectrum. So I guess it had me a in a gross mood … and then the completed project is unveiled. There is some ‘gore’, but not at an alarming level without that situation.
Not all that graphic but: Elliott Gould breaking a glass coke bottle on a woman’s face in slo-mo in the Robert Altman The Long Goodbye; Hannah on Girls (HBO) going overboard with her personal hygiene with a Q-tip and puncturing her eardrum …
Yes, I remember now how sick I felt watching that whole scene. How creepy he looked, and then as you realize what’s going on. Between that and the disfigured guy with the pigs, the whole movie was designed for ickiness.
I’m sorry if I’m asking you to remember an unpleasant memory but I don’t think it was Elliott Gould’s Philip Marlow character who did that in the movie. It was the short-tempered gangster played by Mark Rydell he was talking to.
The dog splitting open in John Carpenter’s The Thing I find pretty awful, but I still like the movie. I do not frequent horror movies so it is probably pretty tame compared to some of the examples in this thread.
I watched Faces of Death as a teenager at a friend’s house and went home that night very shaken. I cannot remember a particular scene from the movie, but the mere mention of the title makes me want to remove myself from the discussion.
I saw this many times back in the 80s and was affected in essentially the same way. Today I realize how hokey it was, especially the Satanic cult cannibalism orgy.
I was surprised that no one had mentioned this one. There’s not a lot that messes with my head, especially mindless gore and gross eating stuff, but everything about that scene made me absolutely sick for hours.
