For me, Hostel 2 was when I realized I just don't enjoy torture porn like that.
I still enjoy over-the-top stuff like Abigail or Dead Alive as it's more light-hearted, but can't take or enjoy the mean-spirited stuff anymore.

Seeing Murphy blown to bits in Robocop still gets me. Especially the uncut version.

That part in bone tomahawk was one of the few times when the actual thing was as "good" as people were saying.

Yes came out of fucking no where. The foot cut was done really good as well. That shit haunted me for days.

I thought the foot cut looked a bit bad tbh.

But maybe i'm remebering another scene where they cut something but it clearly looks fake.

The movie was a fairly standard fare, this is one of those cases where extreme violence somehow elevate the final product, nobody would remember that movie without these scenes.

I think the most disturbing part of the movie is when you see their womens and how they are just a tool to make childrens, the protagonists doesn't even mercy kill them if i remember well...

 

[22:22:22]

American sniper. They put a power drill through a kids head to torture his father. It was needed to show it. I closed my eyes.

Yeah that was quite something...

Robocop the topic

A collective trauma by Verhoeven.

Proud to be Dutch.

1: Yes. A seemingly great executed (excuse the pun) build up and; well there it is.

2: indeed. Woman removed of their limbs as to only function as fuck/breeding animals.

Great first date movie.

Loved the throat whistle though.

Yep, if a woman can't handle some healthy scalping and eviscerating scenes she is not wife material.

 

[swaffles23]

Not really. Maybe the scene in the original Pet Sematary when the old man gets his achilles tendon cut lol

 

[Hohenheim]

There's a few scenes in "Martyrs" that was pretty hardcore.
And "Irreversible" was a hard watch.

The "shocking" scene in "A serbian Film" that usually gets mentioned in topics like this just felt plain dumb,and way tryhard-ish to shock.

Agreed. Verhoeven still wins. Where's my gold?

Yeah that scene was horrific and reminded me of an X-Files episode called "Home", where an inbred family were screwing their quadruple amputee mother.

Disturbing more than disgusting.

 

[Yerd]

Nope.

Although I was watching a movie from the 50's or 60's, in black and white, not too long ago. I don't remember the name, but the opening was a man cheating on his wife, wife finds out and murders him.

They showed the murder in shadow profile, the wife chopping his head with an axe as he was in bed. I wasn't shocked by the imagery, I was shocked that was something they showed back then. Seemed pretty gruesome for the era.

Back in the 50s there was no violence or gore in movies?

Why not both?

That X-Files episode was amazing! I was quite young when that aired, and it was like nothing i'd ever seen. A huge factor in my love for horror.

Wasn't the mother strapped to a skateboard? I'm not sure I want to remember.

 

[22:22:22]

They do. I've got Robocop on BR but haven't watched it. I'm traumatized enough.

I was a XFiles fiend.

Best to watch it in 4k uhd to maximise those emotions. It works well enough for me with a 77 inch screen.

 

[Hohenheim]

She was strapped under the bed, with most limbs missing.. probably so the inbreed sons could easily flip the bed around and go to town. Fucking disturbing stuff, and pretty hardcore for an X-Files episode!

A very emotional pleasant piece of cinema for sure

Nothing you could say would be very shocking. The shower scene in Psycho was a big deal when it came out at the time. That was 1960.

The scene I'm referring to was a wood cutting axe, one swing to the head, I don't remember if it lopped his head off but it might have.

Watch at your own risk

Paul Verhoeven is fantastic especially when he does ultra gory Sci Fi

Wish he did more of them

 

[Putonahappyface]

I really liked any episodes where the premise revolved around aliens or ufo's.

American history x, the head on street break scene.

Aw fuck I managed to not think about that scene for like 15 years, and it all just came flooding back…. Uggghhhhh that shit was brutal to watch.

 

[Hudo]

From recent memory, there were some scenes in the remake of Im Westen nichts neues (All Quiet on the Western Front) that made me pause a bit. Great movie.

 

[Putonahappyface]

American history x, the head on street break scene.

Similar scene in the Sopranos. Both equally horrible and difficult to watch.

 

[AV]

It's nice to see people mention Bone Tomahawk for that scene, but I really advise people check it out regardless, because it really is one of the best movies of the last decade and one of the only modern Westerns.

His Western novels are awesome, too. I think Ridley Scott is attached to direct an adaptation of one but it's gonna be way less brutal than the book.

 

[Resenge]

Movies dont really affect me that way normally but the scene in Saving Private Ryan where that one guy gets slowly knifed as the german is shushing him made me so angry, I dunno why it affected me so much.

 

[Putonahappyface]

Time of the month?

 

[NotMyProblemAnymoreCunt]

Time of the month?

You should watch Possession

And I'm only putting it here since I watched The First Omen last night (Loved it)

There was a scene in The First Omen that I felt was a homage to that scene in Possession

Also The First Omen had some surprisingly gory moments that were really brutal. That movie pulls no punches I'll say

I'm not a huge horror fan, but I do like a few of them.

Alien
Event Horizon
28 Days Later
The Exorcist
The Thing
The Shining

Thank you for not describing that particular scene again. I never watched that movie but that scene haunted me only after reading about it.

Anyway, I'm used to gore and it doesn't really bother me anymore after watching tons of horror movies. What I find disturbing is "real" violence as in people being beaten up or raped.

 

[Muffdraul]

We got our first VCR in 1982, I was 13.

Alien - the chest burster

Scanners - the head pop

The Thing - defibrillator arm chomp

Those are my Big 3. I guess they desensitized me, because I don't anything disturbing me after those. Well, not until I saw the real thing almost 20 years later, e.g. chechclear. That made me walk slow for like two days. Thanks, Something Awful.

 

[SJRB]

Violence is shocking when you least expect it. I watched Bone Tomahawk after reading about the brutality of it, so of course when it happened I wasn't shocked at all, I was more like "ah, see, there it is. Yeah I guess that's pretty gnarly". I can't imagine how absolutely insane it must've been watching this movie without knowing what happens at some point.

First movie that comes up when I think about out of nowhere violence is Drive, where the driver literally stomps a guy's head to mush and you get that super quick cut to the head being completely obliterated. That came out of nowhere after that super slo-mo kiss scene and really had me going "holy shit dude". The Driver's demonic visage and Irene's complete shock at what just happened seals the deal. The elevator door closes and the camera focusses on the scorpion on his jacket.

Perfect sequence.

 

[Yerd]

Took me forever to find this scene. I couldn't remember any details of the movie or who was in it. I guess it's after psycho was out, but I still think it's pretty gruesome for the era. Dude's head falls off.

I didn't actually watch the movie, I only saw this opening scene. My father was watching it, and I commented about how I knew what the plot would be a little after this scene. I'm not a big fan of movies of this era. I find the acting was generally dog shit back then.

 

[NotMyProblemAnymoreCunt]

American history x, the head on street break scene.

Also loved the ending

Yes it's depressing but just a powerful way to end it

Irreversible had me feeling some way for sure. Cant remember if Ive seen that Serbian flick

Yeah, I forgot what it was called but it ended up with a woman skinned alive.
I am not made for that type of shit.
