I can take the whole thing except the demon’s tail in the party scene.
Titus: lots of nasty bits in this movie, but the one that really squicks me is when Lavinia opens her mouth.
Mulholland Drive: the dead girl in the apartment.
If it makes you feel any better that was a body double.
The scene in that movie that gets me is when the Jared Leto character decides to shoot up directly into a badly infected hole in his arm.
Another scene that makes me cringe is in Blood Simple when Frances McDormand plunges the knife into the detectives hand.
Yeah, the Last King of Scotland was pretty bad. But nothing can compare to the Pianist, the scene with the wheelchair. I can’t even bring myself to describe it, it fucked me up so bad. Worse than everything else in that movie, and that’s saying something.
Amen. Burnt Offerings is truly frightening in so many ways. I had nightmares over it as a kid.
And…
Not a movie, but in the third season of Deadwood, there’s a very long fight that goes on between two men in the town, and one of them rips the other’s eyeball right out of the socket.
:eek:
I leaped out of my chair in sheer trauma.
The slow stabbing in Saving Private Ryan gives me the creeps.
Good times, people, good times.
So, how is it that no one else seems as completely freaked as I am to this day by the horrifically real and believable opening scene from Jaws, where we don’t even see the damn shark, just the girl getting yanked around in the dark, screaming and teeth chattering? That only flips me out?
And the sloth scene is so disturbing from Se7en, but not the poor guy with the gut-shredding dildo who was forced to use it to save his own life?
And finally… have any of you seen “Irreversible”? Well, when you’ve seen that, you can tell me about your candy-ass rape scenes in “Deliverence” or any other movie you care to name. That one has 'em all beat by a mile. A long, unblinking, brutalizing, utterly believable and hideous mile that you get to walk from start to horrifying finish. (And that film also features the most vivid and believable scene of a man having his head pulverized I’ve ever seen, as well.)
The one that comes to mind right now is in Memento.
Guy Pearce is frantically trying to find a pen, so he can write down just how badly he was betrayed and fucked by whats-her-face. She watches him from outside the window with a nasty smirk on her face, waits a few minutes for his disability to erase the memory, and walks back in the door.
You have no idea how evil she is until that point. Fucking brilliant.
I love Memento. The best laugh in that movie (and there are a few) is when the protagonist is running through a housing project near another man. Because of his memory problem, he wonders if he’s chasing the other guy or if the other guy’s chasing him. The other guy fires a gun and nearly misses the protagonist, who then decides, “I guess he’s chasing me.”
The femme fatale is Natalie, BTW, played by Carrie-Anne Moss.
“Please… He’s not dead yet.” - Joe Pesci watching them throw his brother in the shallow grave (not sure if that’s exactly what he said, but you get the idea). Yeah, that was pretty horrible.
When I was 8 and my brother 7, our father dropped us off at a movie theater. This was back before ratings and age restrictions. The movie we were left to see? Hush Hush Sweet Charlotte. Scared the living crap out of me, especially the scene where the head bounces down the stairs. I have avoided any kind of horror movie since.
Crocodile Dundee.
Sue bends over to the water’s edge to fill a canteen, and is bumrushed by a crocodile.
Sounds like what happened to Mr McGreg…with a leg for an arm and an arm for a leg.
That was Bravos “Most Scariest Movie Moment”. Personally, I found the scene a lot scarier where the shark casually grabs some kid in the middle of the day and starts chewing and everyone starts freaking the fuck out. Probably because its like, yeah…you decide to get drunk and go swimming in the middle of the night, how are you NOT going to get eaten. But during the day with people all around?
I found a couple of scenes in War of the Worlds pretty freaky. Like the first scene where the tripods start blasting the fuck out of Bayonne, NJ or when that commuter train goes screaming by engulfed in flames.
We all expect something bad to happen when its dark out and you’re alone. But to have something just come up and fuck your house up in broad daylight, that’s pretty freakin badass.
Yep. Jumped three feet outta the chair, I did.
See, I don’t get that. The first few sins were done in loving detail, up until right around Sloth, which was sort of the piece de resistance. When he woke up?! Jesus freaking Christ! The later ones, those were just kind of run through in a hurry. Lust and Pride and all, they weren’t really given the horror treatment.
From “Meaning of Life”? If so, I agree 100%.
“There is something about Mary” had the same effect on me.
:dubious: Do you mean the haircut scene?
a little off the top?
It didn’t help that when I saw the Meaning of Life, I was home, sick…with a big ol bowl of chicken noodle soup with a ton of crackers crushed up in it.
I am the biggest pansy in the world when it comes to freaky scenes in movies.
I had to leave the theater twice for Pan’s Labyrinth. I can’t watch torture. I can’t even watch scenes where someone is about to be tortured. I had just had an entire class on the Spanish Civil War and I was all too aware when I saw that film how accurately it reflected the brutality of that time period.
I am also extremely disturbed by the scene in Crash where the racist sexually abusive cop has to save the life of his previous victim. It is so beautifully and horrifyingly acted, the look on her face when she realized she had no choice but to depend on him, and the look on his face when he realized the terror he had instilled in her through his previous actions. There was no redemption for him, and she had to live with that moment forever etched in her brain. Horrible.
But the movie that wins the prize is Oldboy. There were some fucked up scenes in that movie from the beginning, and I usually don’t do well with them, but I was fascinated by the mystery of the plot. The twist at the end was a total slap in the face. The scene where he cuts out his tongue because he is so horrified and grieved that he’s unknowingly fallen in love with and screwed his own daughter is one of the most uncomfortable things I have ever watched in my life. That whole movie is a nightmare. I was fucked up for days after watching that, and I still am uncomfortable just remembering that I saw it.
I could hardly let my girlfriend touch me in bed after watching that, months of berating my sister for not letting us have it on the tv and then that :rolleyes:
