I watched Jaws today and I'm still going to go with the opening scene with the woman getting attacked. And then it's dead quiet...
share"The Exorcist".
Regan MacNeil, in excruciating pain, masturbating by plunging a blood-stained gold crucifix into herself.
I actually turned my head away at that point. First time I've ever done that.
Under The Skin (2013)
Two particular scenes. The beach scene where the parents drown and the baby is left alone on the beach, screaming. I found that incredibly disturbing.
Also when the first man is lured into Johansson’s liquid abyss and his body fractures into that distorted shape. So weird and shocking.
The scene with Monica Bellucci getting attacked in Irreversible was WAY too much
shareThat scene was brutal, especially the last part when he starts kicking her in the face. I was like, "Why....? You already did the worst by raping her, now you're going to do that, too? Why????"
Incidentally, there's a scene in that movie that everyone considers more brutal, and that's the one with the fire extinguisher. I went into Irreversible hearing about it and just closed my eyes when it happened. I refuse to watch that scene.
That was pretty gross too
I've read that Refn asked for Noe's advice on how to do the FX scene in Drive when Gosling kicks that goons head apart
I almost forgot about the stabbing scene in Zodiac (2007).
shareI deliberately avoid films like Irreversible or A Serbian film or anything I know will have unpleasant imagery. I don't find it a pleasant experience.
But I did see Bone Tomahawk and that scene near the end will forever haunt me.
The most gory scenes weren't that bad imo, but the idea of the mutilated, pregnant women gave me the chills.
shareIn Drag Me To Hell, when the cursed girl is at the old gypsy lady's funeral and the dead body falls on her and all that disgusting chunky brown liquid pours onto the girl's face and into her mouth. That was disturbing in the gross sense.
shareThe castration scene in I Spit On Your Grave.
The crazy thing is that it's not even remotely graphic. You just see a guy going, "What did you do to me..." and then later lying in a bathtub full of blood. But it played out in such a realistic way that it shocked the hell out of me. It looked exactly like a real life image of someone who's bled to death.
Also, a murder scene in Man Bites Dog. The main character is sitting at a dinner table with his friends, suddenly gets up out of the blue, whips out a gun and blows one of them away at point blank in the face. He sits down, and the rest of the diners look down at their dinner plates scared out of their wits because of what a loose cannon he was. I hated this movie so much; it traumatized the hell out of me.
Lastly, the turtle being gutted in Cannibal Holocaust. I feel like throwing up just recalling that scene.
Out of curiosity, I watched a few scenes from the Saw movies several times when I was channel surfing. I shouldn't have. One scene literally made me gag. I had to change the channel quickly.
Weirdly enough, the scene that bothered me in Man Bites Dog was when he was yelling at the old lady.
