The discovery of Sloth in *Se7en*. That was… something.
The cartoon shoe in Who Framed Roger Rabbit 😟
Casino. Joe Pesci’s death scene.
The girl crawling out of the TV in The Ring (2002) was the only time that I actually turned off a movie because of how uncomfortable I was.
I wasn’t screaming in fear or anything. It was just one of those “nah, fuck this” moments that still sticks with me.
Ass to ass! ASS TO ASS!!
The hobbling from *Misery*. :[ Yeesh.
As a kid, it was Memphis Belle. It’s when they take out a German plane, but it damages another US bomber. That plane goes down too, so the crew turns off their radio to silence the screams of their comrades as they plummet to their doom.
The part in Pans Labyrinth where the guy bashes the other guys face in 😭
The Mist ending.
The Green Mile when they fry dude without wetting the sponge.
Bone Tomahawk. They held a man outside down by his ankles, then used a tomahawk to chop him in half, starting with the man’s crotch. While the man was still alive
The very end of the D-Day scene in Saving Private Ryan when they show the kid with his… insides not inside screaming for his mother
The rape scene in The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo.
The red shoes shot in Jojo Rabbit
Marcellus Wallace and the pummel horse in Pulp Fiction
The little girl in the red coat in Schindler’s List
American history x
Ray Liotta being fed his own brains out of a frying pan in“ Hannibal“ while thinking he’s at a dinner party and enjoying himself
Jim pushing his thumbs into the soldiers eyes in 28 Days Later. its so visceral. A lot of things really messed with me when I watched that at a probably way too young age. It being filmed in digital gave it a sort of home video feel that made everything seem so real. too real for a young teenager.
The end of Children of Men when they are going through that ruined urban area and you see two guys running down a street and one is zipped with machine gun fire. His buddy stops to go back and check on him and he his hit as well. Really shows how brutal urban combat can be.
The sequence in All Quiet on the Western Front (2022) in which the French infantry, tanks, and then flamethrowers attack Paul’s troop. I’m not easily shocked, but I shifted in my seat watching that. The disregard for human life was outrageous.
Manchester by the Sea when Casey Affleck forgets to put the fireplace screen up, takes a walk for a 6 pack, then comes home to his house on fire and his children are dead inside.
Devastating
The milk scene from *Inglourious Basterds* isn’t particularly disturbing in a horror sense, but the tension I felt the first time it played out in front of me is something I’ll never forget.
Masterfully written. Masterfully acted. Masterful filmmaking.
I saw Joe Pesci pop some dude’s eye out and then get beat to death in Casino when I was 7 and spying on my parents watching it.
Disturbed me well into adulthood lol
Swingers when he’s leaving messages on the phone. Still shudder thinking about it.
The “blood orgy” scene in _Event Horizon._ I still shudder at the thought of it, but I wonder how much worse was the version that was left on the cutting room floor?
Hereditary
That entire basement scene towards the end of Zodiac omg
For me it’s was No Country for Old Men but the scene in the gas station. That was terrifying AF. You sort of knew what kind of psycho Anton was but that scene was crazy. I still can’t watch it again.
Pan’s labrynth- when the military guy bashed in a guy’s face with a bottle while his elderly father was on his knees crying and saying what have you done to my beautiful boy. It just really got to me.
Fire In The Sky. One of the most viscerally terrifying alien abduction scenes ever filmed.
Frank Booth inhaling whatever he was inhaling while violating Isabella Rossellini’s character in Blue Velvet. Also, the scene with Ben singing The Candy Colored Clown. And the scene where the standing dead bodies fell over. And the ear. Shit, the whole dang movie.
“What’s in the box?” from Seven. That scene stayed with me for a long time.
Jean jackets stomach in Nope
Deliverance, you know the scene..
Robocop….the scene where the dude hit that chemical vat and started melting and then got hit by the car and exploded.
Requiem for a dream ending. I stay away from the hard drugs because of it
Curb stomp in American History X
Gas chamber scene from Schindler’s List
Dancing/ear removal- Reservoir Dogs
The original Alien “birth” scene in a movie theater in the 5th row.
Scarface shower scene. I still see it.
Have you seen Antichrist? The bloody ejaculate is pretty freaken awful
2 come to mind.
Irreversible 🧯
Salo 💩
The hobbling scene in Misery. Probably didn’t help that I had twisted my ankle the day before seeing it.
The murder scene in Michael Clayton is the most brutal murder I’ve seen in any movie, and there’s not a drop of blood.
