One that made you shiver and close your eyes, turn away and plug your ears, one that haunted you in your sleep, made you afraid of the dark, etc etc.
For me I would have to say in the Texas Chainsaw Massacre remake. At the very end the narrator says something like this...
"the crime scene was not properly secured by travis county police. investigating officers were fatally wounded that day. This is the only known image of thomas hewitt the man they call leatherface. The case today still remains open."
This ^ acompanied by the photos still gives me shivers today.
You?

The end of Blair Witch Project when the camera shakily makes it way up the stairs and you see one of the kids facing the corner.
No gore. Not particularly jumpy but it made me go eeeeek. :eek: Doubly so when we got home from the cinema and my hubby had crept upstairs and was facing the corner in our dark bedroom.

Oh god, just reading that ^^ made my stomach turn over. That's a great movie but I can't watch that scene again even though it was necessary. It was just too effective, too evil and real seeming to me.
I can't watch scenes like it or the one with the evil dentist in whichever movie that was. I can't watch or read about torture. God.

That was horror & fear right there, but the movie did nothing for me. I never understood the appeal of it.

Hehehe - i know what you mean. I thought the film was very disappointing but for some reason that scene really stuck in my head. It's what you don't see is more disturbing to me.
Sounds very tame though to the scenes others are suggesting. :o

'ass to ass' from reqrieum for a dream, hands down most awful scene ever.
the part in 'sweet nothing' when he steals the tv from the living room to sell for crack as his kids are watching sesame street.
freebasing naked harvey keitel from 'bad lieutenant'.
nearly all scenes in 'american psycho'
the part of 'dreamscape' where the guy finds the zombie-looking family in the ruins of the city. this scene haunted my entire childhood.

AH HAHAHHA! (y)
Hmm. I don't really remember many movies that kept me from sleeping or anything...but one of the most DISTURBING scenes was from Joan of Arc, where this girl's mother puts her in the closet and shuts the door just as this guy comes in to murder the both of them. The guy then puts his sword through the mother, and through part of the door, pinning the woman to the door and having the girl inside the closet see the bloodied sword right next to her. The man proceeds to rape the mother's corpse, as her daughter cries silently inside the closet, waiting for him to finish so she can escape.
WHAT THE FUCK DUDE
Those kinds of scenes serve no purpose towards the plot, it just makes people angry. :mad:

Irreversible - but more for the fire extinguisher scene
Freaks - but more for the scene where the guy without arms or legs rolls and lights a cigarette
There is a film (Hundstage "Dog Days") from Austria where a 70 yr old widower makes his housekeeper put on his dead wifes clothes and makes her strip to folk-music, the low point in a very harsh film
Eraserhead - scissor to the "baby" scene. David Lynch you are a genius

yep these for me.
the "you see that fucking head come apart, man?" scene in platoon. you don't see much but just the whole reason (or lack of) behind it. also barnes shooting the woman infront of all the kids.
casino - the cornfield scene. that fucked me up and i've posted about it before on here. having to watch your kid brother being bashed to fuck with baseball bat's... like.. i REALLY can't watch that scene again.. it's too much.

one of the most shocking pieces of cinema i've seen is in chopper when he returns to (his mum's?) house and he headbutts his girlfriend and starts punching his mum. and the thing is, you don't actually see his head meet hers; it's blocked by the doorframe. most of it happens out of shot. but it is just so brutal and unexpected (because he's sort of a nice guy. uh, sometimes..) that when i first saw it i stood up with my hand over my mouth.
you should really all see it. i think i'm going to watch it again tonight, actually.
all this "cinema extreme" like in kids doesn't really get me. some of the film-makers are purposely trying to be controversial, there. which i find sort of tired. oh the horror! teenagers have sex and take drugs and YOU BETTER LOCK THEM UP! and harmony korine is a bit of a dick (almost worked on his film over here, btw!).
ditto to american history x curb scene.
he actually punches his girlfriend and headbutts her mum and yeah, that is fucked up.
"look what you've done! your mother's upset!"
na§tee
08-25-2006, 07:39 AM
okay, like that! i haven't seen it since then (when i came across it by accident at like 2am - certainly woke me up!)
your mother's upset! yikes. it was horrifying and.. sorta funny at the same time. just because it was so bizarre.
i reckon chopper is one of the bestest movies ever. it seems so farfetched; him getting stabbed so many times in one hit; him confessing to shooting the guy and the cops don't do anything about it... but, taken from chopper's own books.
"i'm semi-bloody-literate!"
na§tee
08-25-2006, 07:49 AM
yeah, it's definitely in my top five.
eric bana's performance is totally 5 star. that man is the greatest actor from the, uh, southern hemisphere.. ever. really under-rated. it was a real transformation - that scene in the bar where he gets his cock out! lolz.
oooooh i just want to go home and watch it now!
it can't be his! it's gotta be just a dildo :confused:
na§tee
08-25-2006, 07:54 AM
lolz! no, of course it's not his (as in eric bana's) cock. they would have used a fake one. can you imagine the crew?? haha!
for the sex scene in the film i worked on the makeup/prop assistants had to work together to find a suitable and realistic fake cock. it was hilarious. of course, they needed an erect one for the actual sexing, and a flacid one for the scene afterwards - much fun was had with them around the crew, let me tell you that!
na§tee
08-25-2006, 07:55 AM
i'm sorry if i offended anyone by unnecessarily over-using the word "cock".
understand, i don't normally refer to them as, er.. cocks. but chopper, i would assume - he would refer to his penis as a cock. for sure!

I thought the part before it where that guy's getting beaten with the rifle was pretty hard to watch too.
Also:
The "dude left dying in the jungle with his own severed penis in his mouth" scene in Dead Presidents.
The "mouse getting thrown against the wall" scene in The Last emperor.
The "birth" scene in Jude.
The last part of Jude.

I agree with both of those. The torture scene at the end of Audition made my stomach turn. Miike is twisted as fuck.
The video of Mr. Baek hanging a little girl as she begs him not to kill her in Sympathy for Lady Vengeance was probably the most recent disturbing one I've seen. That and when they kick all the Cambodians out of the French Embasy in The Killing Fields.
Gareth

on mr vengeance, when the deaf guy is in the river and the other guy goes underwater and slices both of his achilles with a knife, that made me wince but i guess only cos i can imagine how painful it'd be.
i guess i don't watch many disturbing movies because the most disturbing one from recent memory is silent hill. the part where pyramid head rips that girl's skin off, i pretty much didn't see that one coming. and then the end, with the barbs, and the penetration (you didn't see it per se, but still, you knew it was going on), that was a little messed up.
it's probably not so bad because it was over the top unrealistic stuff, but still, geesh.
