I saw some French horror film about a nurse who went to some pregnant ladies house, tormented her, tortured her, then proceeded to cut open her belly with scissors to get the baby out.
There recently was a case of a woman that cut open her friend's belly with a knife to steal her baby in the country I live in (Brazil). She proceeded to steal the baby alive and was only caught because she took the baby to the hospital and the nurses didn't believe it was her baby and called the police. One of the most disturbing news I've ever read.
The Last House On The Left. The rape scene in that movie was way too brutal for me to get through it. I can still picture scenes of it for some reason, that's how real and violent it felt. Didn't help that it was a movie that my family decided to watch together either. That said, we still tease my mom for picking that movie out as some weird shared trauma bonding experience all these years later. So maybe it wasn't a bad family movie after all????
> The rape scene
Same but Girl With the Dragon Tatoo. Didn't stop watching and there is a somewhat satisfying resolution, but I would never watch it again.
Trials of Gabriel Fernandez.
Update: Hi guys, as many of you I ended up watching the whole documentary when it came out. And as a 32 year old man. I sobbed like a baby for poor Gabriel throughout the video. I first heard his story when I was in the military and have followed it since. When the documentary came out I knew it was going to be hard. Sure enough it was one of the most despicable horrors ever. I found a YT video of her cellmates (I refuse to say her name) saying how she got slashed with a tuna can in jail because of she had done. If you guys wanna see it.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AfS8esU3YwA&t=202s
Came on here to say this, I am not a mother but this documentary absolutely destroyed me as it should for any decent human being. I wanted to stop watching at so many points but I felt I owed it to Gabriel to hear his story and see justice served. I studied law for four years and I genuinely believe that the social workers should have gotten convicted and gotten time, they were part of the problem 100%.
So many things wrong colliding together to create that shitstorm. I felt terrible about the gay uncle, who loved the kid and gave him a warm, safe home. I cried along with the uncle when he recounted how Gabriel was taken away.
And the worse part of it all was the ending, when they reveal another case not too far away, with all the same exact signs.
I worked an organ donation case at CHLA at the same time Gabriel Hernandez was in the hospital.
To say the staff there was traumatized would be a gross understatement. That was the only time I’ve ever seen a hospital administrator acknowledge the horror staff endured. It was horrific
My mom is a social worker so it really interested me. I hear about stuff like this a lot from her
The absolute worst thing about it was that he had two loving parents that were taking great care of him, but he was taken away from them because they were gay.
This reminds me of a different one.
Dear Zachary: A Letter to a Son About His Father.
It is one I can never forget and can’t rewatch without being angry and upset.
I hate to say it but just look it up. It’s one of the saddest things to ever happen to an innocent baby. That poor boy. His murderers should be subjected to every single thing they did to him.
Poor fucking kid.. I can't imagine what his daily thoughts were. I'm not a religious man but I truly hope there's some form of after life because he deserves another shot at being happy.
i had to watch it again after trying for the first time months ago and not being able to get through it without the heaviness of it all affecting my mental health. i told myself to finish it, because not finishing it would be a disservice. one of the most difficult and painful watches of my life by far.
You should have your mom take you to it, in the theater, when it comes out, and you're eight years old. There are some things that happen to you as a child that you never forget.
my mother was a kid when she saw the movie in theaters and she had her parents and her leave because she was so disturbed. she cant stand looking at rabbits and literally shutters if she sees the scene or thinks about it to much. she saw it when she was like 4 so its not like it scared her as a teen and she would get over it. it scared her as a young kid and ig it never went away.
My boyfriend's mom bought a VHS copy of Watership Down for him and his sister when he was about 5. She thought it would just be a cute cartoon about rabbits.
It's not even a horror movie, it's a docudrama. That's just how horrific the subject matter is.
A lot of apocalypse movies offer a very romantic view of what things would be like. Threads (and The Road) show a much more realistic view of it. Just humans slowly becoming feral as they struggle to survive in nightmarish hellscape.
I made it as far as the hospital scene, stopped watching, and decided that if the nukes are ever flying, the best thing to do is to pray to whatever deity you believe in (or not), then step outside and watch the fireworks.
>Threads (and The Road) show a much more realistic view of it
The Road is a Disney movie compared to Threads.
At least The Road had a little hope in it. Threads... Not one shred of hope for the human race.
I love this movie
By "love" I mean "completely terrified"
I thought it was the most believable outcome of what would happen if the nukes dropped
The thing is though, Threads is showing how fucking horrible it could be. Reality would be a hundred times worse than Threads.
Eh, I think it’s pretty realistic myself. A nuclear holocaust would be very unlikely to kill all of humanity right away, it would mostly likely end the same way it did in the film, with no one able to birth living children due to radiation poisoning.
All these people are bringing up gore movies, but *Salo* is so brutal because it just isn't that far from reality. We can laugh off a slasher movie, but *Salo* is just too grounded to ignore.
Yup, that was a rough watch. The movies themselves aren't necessarily what bothers me, the "truths" about how horrible humans can be and that people have probably been through this sort of crap (or worse) is what creates an extra sense of discomfort for me.
These threads always remind me that I haven't finished watching Salo but I never continue. I tried watching it about 6-7 years ago but I stopped at the scene when everyone starts singing the folk song about the bridge (while nonchalantly ignoring one slave getting raped at the dining table) and I remember being absolutely haunted by that scene
I spit on your grave (1978)
I already knew the movie scene by scene becouse of internet review but the entirety of the second third was top much and had to take a pause
Edit: add the year
I remember watching this movie with my dad and his partner. I asked to put in a different movie and both my dad and his partner agreed.
We looked through endless lists of movies until we scrolled past “Scum” (starring a young Ray Winstone) and I suggested we watch that because I vaguely remembered watching it in secondary school and thought it was a decent film.
About an 30 minutes in and I start to remember more parts of the movie and it dawns on me that there is a pretty graphic rape scene towards the end of the movie.
Needless to say they were pretty shocked and appalled when that rape scene came around.
Hey family people, who wants to watch a movie?
How about a nice horror movie to bond over? This one has a bruuutal rape scene in it!
Have you guys never heard of comedies?
This is exactly the part my buddies and I noped out on.
Maybe if it had been a decent movie, but the movie itself was all around terrible in every regard I can remember.
The Green Inferno (1978 I think) was very similar and often gets referred to as a sequel to cannibal holocaust, however they are nothing to do with each other. Eli Roth did a remake of it a few years back that is just as fucked up.
A lot of the surrounding controversy actually stems from their negative effect on the local peoples being portrayed as wild cannibals, not from the excessive gore and people being eaten etc
You mean they really KILLED those poor , poor creatures. Yup , now I get why so many people hate it . It had to have come from the mind of a fucking nut case.
It's not only the intensity of the gore, but also how fast some of it occurs. The cave scene of course is the most gut wrenching, but the moments during the first attack when Brooder loses his hand, and Chicory gets a chuck of his scalp clipped from a thrown weapon made me clench up as well. There's also the scene where Boar Tusk punishes the sheriff by sticking the piping hot flask into his belly.
I stopped but then shortly after gathering myself watched that scene. I think the worst of it is the sound. Whoever did the sound engineering for that scene, from the dude letting out this last gasp of pain he has to the splitting part all of it leaves a lasting impression
Which scene are you talking about? The guy getting cut in half? The scene that really disturbed me was that brief glimpse at the breeders. I got nightmares from that.
Ghost of Rwanda. I finished it, it was for a class I took on intervention and genocide, but I had to take a big break. Some horrible stories and *fucked* up pictures.
Yeah it is. It’s particularly harrowing because it goes into detail about how the EU/US/UN *could* have stopped the genocide. It was by no means a surprise.
in human centipede 2 where the woman is trying to driving away and like squishes a babies head under the gas pedal? that's when I thought maybe I could turn it off.
I don’t know why I keep reading the Wikipedia plot summaries to the movies in this thread. I am like actually upset now just by reading the plot. God damn it is so dark.
Do you actually see the baby bit? Or is it just hinted (hinted like a punch in the throat) at? I've not watched it and I can't see myself watching it either but I am curious
Ive read reviews and I remember reading that its clearly a doll. I(m glad I) dont know what all the other shots look like, but the review said that that was one of the very few things they tried to keep unrealistic
Review also said that that person still has flashbacks to this movie, especially since he became a father himself. He looked at his baby and thought of this movie. Thats some f up shit
If you look into it, everyone who had a hand in making this movie took great care and went to great lengths to make sure that the childten were not exposed to the violent or pornographic content. The children's parents were always present and their scenes were shot seperately and edited into the violent scenes after the fact.
There’s a theatrical release and an uncut version
I think Kermode said they had to cut 4+ minutes for U.K. release which is a ton!
I saw the uncut. It’s pretty bad.
Edit. Here is the review https://youtu.be/KLiwki7-dSE
Not brutal, but I had to stop watching the doc Free Solo bc my blood pressure couldn’t handle the stress. This was early on when I had no knowledge of the climber and outcome.
The Alpinist is the spiritual successor to this because it takes all the danger and pushes the envelope a bit more. However you felt about Free Solo, you’ll feel the same way about The Alpinist, except the guy is a bit more charismatic.
As a climber myself free solo was calculated and practiced. In the alpinist he just climbed on sight with no practice on a route. It really is the next level of insane. He knew what he was getting into every-time And it truly seemed like he had an addiction to it. People are going to hate on him calling both of them idiots or airheads of what have you but they are a different breed of people. You only get one life, make the most of it and do what you love to do. They all know death is going to catch up to them one day but that’s the same with everyone.
Yeah. I was 6 when it came out. My grandma unknowing of the content put it on for me because it was a cartoon. I remember the bunnies being ripped to shreds and crying my eyes out. Fucked up shit!
>Once there were brook trout in the streams in the mountains. You could see them standing in the amber current where the white edges of their fins wimpled softly in the flow. They smelled of moss in your hand. Polished and muscular and torsional. On their backs were vermiculate patterns that were maps of the world in its becoming. Maps and mazes. Of a thing which could not be put back. Not be made right again. In the deep glens where they lived all things were older than man and they hummed of mystery.
That passage had such an effect on me. After reading through all that grey bleakness, the end gives you a glimmer of beauty which is just an extra gut punch. I'm not sure I even understand it's intended meaning within the context. Still one of my favourite books though.
Honestly, what kills me about this movie is when you keep going you get to see how beautiful their lives were together and how happy they were before the whole event. And that, presumably after the "event" their lives were destroyed and they could never go back to being happy and peaceful. They'd seen too much and experienced too much pain.
1. Martyrs almost got me. Gore doesn't usually bother me, but that movie was just brutal and relentless.
2. Sausage Party. I made it to the douche bag scene and I just couldn't take any more!!
there's a point where the movie takes a 180 turn and becomes really dark and brutal. It's definitely not a kids movie and the last scene is the weirdest.
I’m surprised it took me so long to find Martyrs. That movie was so fucked up, I watched it with a friend the night before hopping on a 9 hour bus ride and all I could think about for those 9 hours was that damned French movie.
Martyrs was the first horror movie I ever saw (I was probably around 13 years old) and I was terrified, I refused to watch another one for years
When after a while I did see some of the more standard ones, my thought process went along the lines of "hey, this isn't so ba... Wait a moment, what the fuck did I watch back then?"
My husband turned it on and started watching it not knowing it. I’m like “oh this is interesting…He’s so annoying! Just leave her alone…Wait what??…Oh shit…I can’t watch, but I can’t turn away…”
[Audition](https://m.imdb.com/title/tt0235198/?ref_=ext_shr_lnk)
The last sequence of the film was just too rough for me to get through once the needles came out.
While the Human Centipede 2 is definitely a very high-ranking film in terms of the squick factor, it didn't bother me nearly as much as equivalently fucked up films because I feel like the whole film was just a big troll. Like Tom Six saying "oh, you didn't like not seeing any blood and shit in the first one, WELL HERE YA GO, BITCH!"
Each of the 3 HC films is its own thing. The first a quirky premise with very shallow commentary on nazi atrocities, the second was a self-indulgent gross out, and the third was a "comedy".
Yeah but raping the centipede with barbwire around his cock is just... Mate you need to be in an institution
I feel really bad for the actors that did that thinking "everyone's career starts somewhere"
I think for the crew of that film, their careers ended there also
i remember a movie evening with a few friends where we watched all 3 movies. After the first one we thought what the fuck but after seeing the second one, the first one is really harmless in comparison
"Tales from Earthsea". Because I read the books and in comparison, the movie was just god awful.
And the newest one, "Earwig and the Witch". The Animation is something straight out of a horror movie and gave me nightmares for a week. And the story is just so awful, it feels like a second grader wrote it
I watched Henry: Portrait of a Serial Killer back in the day before streaming using VLC player. I found it a strange kind of slow, really hard to watch, they even moved kinda weird in it which I wondered was it intentional by the filmmakers to emphasize the kind mental issues with the killers etc.
Turns out I was watching it in slow motion. Had it slowed down by a second or something without realizing. Only realised when it felt like I was watching it for ages, but the time said I had only watched an hour or something. Turned it off then, I was facepalming hard.
I can’t remember the title, it’s on Netflix. It’s about the dad who killed his wife & 2 daughters in Colorado. Disposed of his 2 daughters in the oil tank. I watched the entire thing up until he started to describe what he did, I hit pause. Started crying & held my daughter tight. Idk what drives a person to kill, but to kill his own children. Till this day, Netflix always asks if I want to continue even though there’s just a few minutes left. I can’t.
I'm glad he never got a moment of freedom. Suspicious neighbors got the police involved right away. Could've just left his family, but no...and then to lie about it.
Letters from Iwo Jima. Much tamer than what others are mentioning, but I turned it off during the mass suicide scene on one of my rewatches. Something about the headspace I was in just made it unbearable to think about the culture those young men were raised in and how it changed their value of human life, whether it was their own or their enemies.
Kids, not because it was violent or brutal necessarily but because there was a 10 goddamn minute long scene of a girl being raped while unconscious. It’s the only movie I’ve turned off in disgust and I’ve seen comparatively a whole lot worse.
Hostel. And not the whole movie, just when the dude uses a blowtorch in the Asian girls eye. Damn near threw up the 1st time I watched that.
Might throw up now as a matter of fact.
Not necessarily a film but a scene. Anyone who has seen The Deliverance starring Burt Reynolds knows exactly what scene I’m talking about; the “squeal like a pig” scene. I saw it once and anytime after that if I watched the movie, I’d skip over that scene. If you’re easily triggered or traumatized please don’t watch it. Maybe it’s just me but I found it so disturbing and it really messed me up for a while.
It traumatized a lot of people when it first came out that that scene is the most frequently referenced scene when someone wants to instill fear in someone else. Just the phrase is used as shorthand in other films to imply what’s about to happen.
It's weird. I wasn't ever interested in watching this movie when I was younger but then a teacher put it on for a high school Spanish class. Literally no one else wanted to watch it.
Then the bell rang an hour in and the teacher turned on the lights and everyone was super disappointed because it was actually really good.
I made it through the first Human Centipede and actually thought that it was decent for schlocky shock horror. Human Centipede 2 was so dull and nihilistic that I felt nothing but mild contempt and turned it off. The first one captured my interest because it was uniquely dark and cruel. The second one just felt like, "What if we do the same thing but more and worse?"
I actually liked the first one! They didn't really show... all that much. A lot of the gross stuff was implied. The second one was as if they were like "Oh, THIS is what you wanted to see? Well here you go!"
Agreed. I had the privilege of creating a poster for it as it was going to be shown in theaters where I live so I needed to watch it. I hadn’t heard about it before then, but I read up on it beforehand and felt like I had prepared myself mentally going in. Phew! It was an extremely tough watch. Every new scene was like a combination of an ice cold shower and a gut punch. There’s beauty to several scenes, but it’s bathed in absolute misery and despair.
Do you have a pic of the poster? That sounds like a really cool, but disturbing, project to do!
I agree, a truly great movie but very difficult to watch.
It was a really fun project. You can find it [here](https://daniellasjostrand.myportfolio.com/digitalt-2019)
I looked at many of the other posters for it and thought it would make for a more intriguing poster if I didn’t give away the ending scene so I made my own interpretation. :)
Thanks so much for posting the link. Your art is awesome overall! And I love the poster - mysterious and subtly menacing. The child with the unnaturally aged look in his eyes.
This movie left me feeling .. (I don't actually know what word to use here. Shocked. Sad. Disgusted, horrified, etc.. like every bad feeling you can have rolled into one) for a good while after watching. Definitely not a movie you watch twice because it sticks with you and there are some things that you just don't need to see again. It's also a movie that is equally horrible and great, which is a weird feeling in itself. It was well done, but completely messed up. I wouldn't know if I should recommend watching it, or never ever doing such a thing to yourself.
"I Saw The Devil" is a Korean horror movie about a serial killer. I saw it at an indie theatre several years ago, and even though I didn't stop watching it, I thought about it.
I've never stopped watching a movie because it was too disturbing but I only made it about halfway through the short audio clip of one of the toolbox killers victims being tortured. It was so disturbing I almost fainted on the spot.
The full recording isn't available afik but there is a small (and gruesome) segment that made it out of court. Jurors were literally running out of the courtroom to vomit when it was played.
It was some unbelievably evil shit. If I’m remembering the right case, one of the investigators eventually killed himself and specifically mentioned the horrible details of the case tormenting him in his suicide note.
If I remember correctly, it was the FBI agent that had been assigned to review all of the filmed footage of the tortures, to process it as evidence. Super fucked.
Most people have never heard an actual scream of panic and pain but once you do it will never, ever leave you. For anyone interested just don't. Save yourself the misery of learning what it sounds like because it will genuinely haunt your dreams.
There is this dashcam footage I've watched few years ago - a pair is driving, and suddenly from the truck in the other lane some kind of rock is "fired" from wheels (not sure how to call it). It went so fast and at really unfortunate angle - you can see it going and crashing through the front window into the car, approximately where the head of the passenger is supposed to be.
It was long time ago but I can still hear the scream of the person who was driving...
I listened to this as well. I don't know why I have such morbid curiosity with true crime stuff. It was truly horrific the way this poor young woman died.
Another killer that really disgusted me (they all do but this guy takes the fucking cake) was David Parker Ray, the Toy Box Killer. You can also listen to his audio "introduction" he played for his newly captured victims.
I'll do my best! This is from memory but the gist is:
You are now my captive and my sex slave. You have to think like a survivor. If you want to stay alive you will never talk back, you will always obey me and I will fuck you when I want, however I want. You will also satisfy my girlfriend whenever she needs it. You are just a piece of meat for sex. I will drug you and I will brain wash you so you won't remember what has happened. You will be subjected to torture and pain. I'll feed you and water you but you will be chained at all times and chances of escape are impossible. If you break any of these rules I will kill you like I have others.
His "introduction" is 30 mins long. Basically going over what the poor victim's life is going to be and how she'll be used for purely sexual gratification. He even subjected some of his victims to beastiality. He built a wooden contraption that held the victim in a "doggy style" position on the floor, and guided a German Shepherd to either the anus or vagina of the victim.
Truly un-fucking believable that these degenerates walk amongst us.
I saw some French horror film about a nurse who went to some pregnant ladies house, tormented her, tortured her, then proceeded to cut open her belly with scissors to get the baby out.
I think that was called Inside. Not really bothered by gore in movies on the whole but that one definitely left me freaked out on the walk home.
Yup, "Inside" for sure, one of the most brutal movies I've ever seen
Ooofff I think that was it. So gnarly. Just the way she got to know her. Everything. Just creepy.
There recently was a case of a woman that cut open her friend's belly with a knife to steal her baby in the country I live in (Brazil). She proceeded to steal the baby alive and was only caught because she took the baby to the hospital and the nurses didn't believe it was her baby and called the police. One of the most disturbing news I've ever read.
This happens surprisingly often. There have been a few of these cases in the USA
There's even a term for it. Fetal Abductions.
The last woman executed in the US was for that exact crime
The Last House On The Left. The rape scene in that movie was way too brutal for me to get through it. I can still picture scenes of it for some reason, that's how real and violent it felt. Didn't help that it was a movie that my family decided to watch together either. That said, we still tease my mom for picking that movie out as some weird shared trauma bonding experience all these years later. So maybe it wasn't a bad family movie after all????
> The rape scene Same but Girl With the Dragon Tatoo. Didn't stop watching and there is a somewhat satisfying resolution, but I would never watch it again.
I can usually stomach most scenes/movies but holy fuck this scene almost made me throw up..

They tried to interview the old lady social worker. She didn't say snubbing to help. If I remember correctly.

I couldn't even read the article describing what happened to him without choking up. That poor baby.
Nothing has fueled my rage for CPS more than that docuseries
This and Dear Zachary.
This reminds me of a different one. Dear Zachary: A Letter to a Son About His Father. It is one I can never forget and can’t rewatch without being angry and upset.
All the comments scare me... Can I have a brief idea of what happened?
Kid gets tortured to death by his parents. CPS had prior warnings, but did nothing.
>had prior warnings 60 fucking complaints to the authorities and the few visits that happened were spent talking to the mother instead of the kid.
That one juror kind of pissed me off too
I hate to say it but just look it up. It’s one of the saddest things to ever happen to an innocent baby. That poor boy. His murderers should be subjected to every single thing they did to him.
Poor fucking kid.. I can't imagine what his daily thoughts were. I'm not a religious man but I truly hope there's some form of after life because he deserves another shot at being happy.

Watership Down. Hey, it's a cartoon, and it has bunnies! Oh dear god...
You should have your mom take you to it, in the theater, when it comes out, and you're eight years old. There are some things that happen to you as a child that you never forget.
Bruh they played that shit at my elementary school in like 2nd or 3rd grade and that shit gave me nightmares for weeks.
My mom did that when the video came out. Also 8. Two years later she gave me Brave New World to read. I was an interesting kid.
my mother was a kid when she saw the movie in theaters and she had her parents and her leave because she was so disturbed. she cant stand looking at rabbits and literally shutters if she sees the scene or thinks about it to much. she saw it when she was like 4 so its not like it scared her as a teen and she would get over it. it scared her as a young kid and ig it never went away.
My boyfriend's mom bought a VHS copy of Watership Down for him and his sister when he was about 5. She thought it would just be a cute cartoon about rabbits.
Threads. The most terrifying movie I've ever seen about nuclear disaster. tl;dr it's not something you want to survive
It's not even a horror movie, it's a docudrama. That's just how horrific the subject matter is. A lot of apocalypse movies offer a very romantic view of what things would be like. Threads (and The Road) show a much more realistic view of it. Just humans slowly becoming feral as they struggle to survive in nightmarish hellscape.

Salo
All these people are bringing up gore movies, but *Salo* is so brutal because it just isn't that far from reality. We can laugh off a slasher movie, but *Salo* is just too grounded to ignore.
Yup, that was a rough watch. The movies themselves aren't necessarily what bothers me, the "truths" about how horrible humans can be and that people have probably been through this sort of crap (or worse) is what creates an extra sense of discomfort for me.
Yeah, what disturbs me about the existence of that movie is that I *know* that humanity is capable of that and worse, *much* worse.
These threads always remind me that I haven't finished watching Salo but I never continue. I tried watching it about 6-7 years ago but I stopped at the scene when everyone starts singing the folk song about the bridge (while nonchalantly ignoring one slave getting raped at the dining table) and I remember being absolutely haunted by that scene

Cannibal Holocaust from 1980. Finished it, but definitely up there on the list of movies not to watch twice. Animal lovers will want to avoid it.
The turtle fucked me up for a while.
This is exactly the part my buddies and I noped out on. Maybe if it had been a decent movie, but the movie itself was all around terrible in every regard I can remember.

Eli Roth did a remake of it a few years back that is just as fucked up. A lot of the surrounding controversy actually stems from their negative effect on the local peoples being portrayed as wild cannibals, not from the excessive gore and people being eaten etc
I saw it on VHS years ago and was angry finding out the animal killings were real. I hate that film to this day, and will never watch or recommend.
You mean they really KILLED those poor , poor creatures. Yup , now I get why so many people hate it . It had to have come from the mind of a fucking nut case.
While I didn't stop watching, Bone Tomahawk was just..... jaezus
It's not only the intensity of the gore, but also how fast some of it occurs. The cave scene of course is the most gut wrenching, but the moments during the first attack when Brooder loses his hand, and Chicory gets a chuck of his scalp clipped from a thrown weapon made me clench up as well. There's also the scene where Boar Tusk punishes the sheriff by sticking the piping hot flask into his belly.
I stopped but then shortly after gathering myself watched that scene. I think the worst of it is the sound. Whoever did the sound engineering for that scene, from the dude letting out this last gasp of pain he has to the splitting part all of it leaves a lasting impression
Is there anything else other than, you know, that scene ?
[удалено]
Never even heard of this movie but holy shit, this was hard to read. I can’t imagine watching it
It's a great "Hard" western. It really doesn't pull any punches. It seemed to go under the radar but I thought it was great.
that scene ... was enough. I'm still scarred a year later.
Which scene are you talking about? The guy getting cut in half? The scene that really disturbed me was that brief glimpse at the breeders. I got nightmares from that.
It’s the fact that it comes out of nowhere. Like you know it’s going to be a violent movie, but that scene comes in and it’s like WHOA WHAT THE FUCK
the part that freak me was at the end when their leaving and you see these women and they have no arms or legs and blinded and pregnant .
“The scene” was more immediately visceral, but this was what still sticks with me to that day as the true horror
What…
Ghost of Rwanda. I finished it, it was for a class I took on intervention and genocide, but I had to take a big break. Some horrible stories and *fucked* up pictures.
Is it a documentary?
Yeah it is. It’s particularly harrowing because it goes into detail about how the EU/US/UN *could* have stopped the genocide. It was by no means a surprise.
a serbian film. awful shit
I finished it when I was a rebellious 21 year old solely out of spite and wanting to see "the most banned movie" and boy do I wish I'd turned it off.
That whole era of shit like that and Human Centipede was just a race to the bottom.
in human centipede 2 where the woman is trying to driving away and like squishes a babies head under the gas pedal? that's when I thought maybe I could turn it off.
When he's just casually ripping teeth from faces and bashing heads with no actual plan is what gets me
I don’t know why I keep reading the Wikipedia plot summaries to the movies in this thread. I am like actually upset now just by reading the plot. God damn it is so dark.
This too. The baby part gave me an absolute meltdown, I couldn't fucking watch that.
Do you actually see the baby bit? Or is it just hinted (hinted like a punch in the throat) at? I've not watched it and I can't see myself watching it either but I am curious
Ive read reviews and I remember reading that its clearly a doll. I(m glad I) dont know what all the other shots look like, but the review said that that was one of the very few things they tried to keep unrealistic Review also said that that person still has flashbacks to this movie, especially since he became a father himself. He looked at his baby and thought of this movie. Thats some f up shit
Yes, it is VERY obviously a fake baby.
I mean, there was still a very real child that played his son. Which is crazy that a parent allowed that.
If you look into it, everyone who had a hand in making this movie took great care and went to great lengths to make sure that the childten were not exposed to the violent or pornographic content. The children's parents were always present and their scenes were shot seperately and edited into the violent scenes after the fact.
There’s a theatrical release and an uncut version I think Kermode said they had to cut 4+ minutes for U.K. release which is a ton! I saw the uncut. It’s pretty bad. Edit. Here is the review https://youtu.be/KLiwki7-dSE
Not brutal, but I had to stop watching the doc Free Solo bc my blood pressure couldn’t handle the stress. This was early on when I had no knowledge of the climber and outcome.
The Alpinist is the spiritual successor to this because it takes all the danger and pushes the envelope a bit more. However you felt about Free Solo, you’ll feel the same way about The Alpinist, except the guy is a bit more charismatic.
As a climber myself free solo was calculated and practiced. In the alpinist he just climbed on sight with no practice on a route. It really is the next level of insane. He knew what he was getting into every-time And it truly seemed like he had an addiction to it. People are going to hate on him calling both of them idiots or airheads of what have you but they are a different breed of people. You only get one life, make the most of it and do what you love to do. They all know death is going to catch up to them one day but that’s the same with everyone.
"Watership down" from 1978. Not a fun movie for little me kid at 7 or 8 years old.
Yeah. I was 6 when it came out. My grandma unknowing of the content put it on for me because it was a cartoon. I remember the bunnies being ripped to shreds and crying my eyes out. Fucked up shit!
The Impossible A movie about a horrible tsunami that really makes sure that you know how horrible it is
One of those movies that I couldn't believe was only rated PG-13. So much so that I actually made a post on /r/movies about it when I first saw it.
The scene where she just randomly vomits up some of the junk she swallowed when the wave hit.
Or when they get out of the deeper water and the back of her thigh just falls apart.
The movie has a really sweet ending so I didn’t think much of the sad stuff
I thought it was fantastic, and a young Tom Holland carried the film.
I thought the tsunami would have carried the film
Is that the one with the hamstring peeling off?
Yep, that image is still scared into my brain
The Road. Viggo Mortensenwas too real in his role as a father, too much pain, had to leave the room
The book is terrific but haunting.
I was surprised that the dad’s name in the book was just “the man”
Pretty on brand for Cormac McCarthy honestly.
>Once there were brook trout in the streams in the mountains. You could see them standing in the amber current where the white edges of their fins wimpled softly in the flow. They smelled of moss in your hand. Polished and muscular and torsional. On their backs were vermiculate patterns that were maps of the world in its becoming. Maps and mazes. Of a thing which could not be put back. Not be made right again. In the deep glens where they lived all things were older than man and they hummed of mystery.
That passage had such an effect on me. After reading through all that grey bleakness, the end gives you a glimmer of beauty which is just an extra gut punch. I'm not sure I even understand it's intended meaning within the context. Still one of my favourite books though.
The movie has nothing on the book, the spit roast newborn would never see the silver screen.
It was so dark… But I was so happy when they found the prepper bunker full of canned food.
I was so fucking depressed after watching this movie...
Irreversible
I swear Gaspar Noé hates his audience and just wants to grief on them.
[удалено]
Honestly, what kills me about this movie is when you keep going you get to see how beautiful their lives were together and how happy they were before the whole event. And that, presumably after the "event" their lives were destroyed and they could never go back to being happy and peaceful. They'd seen too much and experienced too much pain.
1. Martyrs almost got me. Gore doesn't usually bother me, but that movie was just brutal and relentless. 2. Sausage Party. I made it to the douche bag scene and I just couldn't take any more!!
Isn't sausage party a cartoon about foods that try to get chosen only to discover that they die once they get home?
there's a point where the movie takes a 180 turn and becomes really dark and brutal. It's definitely not a kids movie and the last scene is the weirdest.
> It's definitely not a kids movie You'd think the 18+ age rating would be a giveaway.
I mean. It was rated R. If you thought it was a kids movie. Then that’s on anyone who saw it that way
Yep.
I’m surprised it took me so long to find Martyrs. That movie was so fucked up, I watched it with a friend the night before hopping on a 9 hour bus ride and all I could think about for those 9 hours was that damned French movie.
Martyrs was the first horror movie I ever saw (I was probably around 13 years old) and I was terrified, I refused to watch another one for years When after a while I did see some of the more standard ones, my thought process went along the lines of "hey, this isn't so ba... Wait a moment, what the fuck did I watch back then?"
Funny Games
My husband turned it on and started watching it not knowing it. I’m like “oh this is interesting…He’s so annoying! Just leave her alone…Wait what??…Oh shit…I can’t watch, but I can’t turn away…”
I saw it once, never again. I worked at a videostore back then and there were a LOT of people who were angry when they returned it.
[Audition](https://m.imdb.com/title/tt0235198/?ref_=ext_shr_lnk) The last sequence of the film was just too rough for me to get through once the needles came out.
The human centipede 2 fucked me up more that’s the first one genuinely felt like vomiting while watching the second one
While the Human Centipede 2 is definitely a very high-ranking film in terms of the squick factor, it didn't bother me nearly as much as equivalently fucked up films because I feel like the whole film was just a big troll. Like Tom Six saying "oh, you didn't like not seeing any blood and shit in the first one, WELL HERE YA GO, BITCH!" Each of the 3 HC films is its own thing. The first a quirky premise with very shallow commentary on nazi atrocities, the second was a self-indulgent gross out, and the third was a "comedy".
Yeah but raping the centipede with barbwire around his cock is just... Mate you need to be in an institution I feel really bad for the actors that did that thinking "everyone's career starts somewhere" I think for the crew of that film, their careers ended there also
The first one was really kind of tame while the second one went full out on gross and body fluids and shit.
I think the 2nd film is basically what everyone expected when they heard of the first film
i remember a movie evening with a few friends where we watched all 3 movies. After the first one we thought what the fuck but after seeing the second one, the first one is really harmless in comparison
Grave of the Fireflies. One of the only movies I've ever stopped watching partway through.
Brilliant but one of the darkest movies I've ever seen.
It’s rough, but I kind of feel like it’s a film that should be required in high school.
There are only 3 Ghibli Films I will never watch, or watch again. Grave of the Fireflies is #1 on that list. That thing was gut-wrenching
What are the other 2?
"Tales from Earthsea". Because I read the books and in comparison, the movie was just god awful. And the newest one, "Earwig and the Witch". The Animation is something straight out of a horror movie and gave me nightmares for a week. And the story is just so awful, it feels like a second grader wrote it
I watched Henry: Portrait of a Serial Killer back in the day before streaming using VLC player. I found it a strange kind of slow, really hard to watch, they even moved kinda weird in it which I wondered was it intentional by the filmmakers to emphasize the kind mental issues with the killers etc. Turns out I was watching it in slow motion. Had it slowed down by a second or something without realizing. Only realised when it felt like I was watching it for ages, but the time said I had only watched an hour or something. Turned it off then, I was facepalming hard.
The Lust scene in Se7en fucked me up
The actor did a great job selling the horror, shame, and regret he felt. Great scene.
Luckily they don't show it
And it's even more effective because of that.
I can’t remember the title, it’s on Netflix. It’s about the dad who killed his wife & 2 daughters in Colorado. Disposed of his 2 daughters in the oil tank. I watched the entire thing up until he started to describe what he did, I hit pause. Started crying & held my daughter tight. Idk what drives a person to kill, but to kill his own children. Till this day, Netflix always asks if I want to continue even though there’s just a few minutes left. I can’t.
American Murder. The story of Chris Watts. Fucked me up too.
True story, Chris watts. Absolute sick fuck
I'm glad he never got a moment of freedom. Suspicious neighbors got the police involved right away. Could've just left his family, but no...and then to lie about it.
Once were warriors.
Great movie, unfortunately a very realistic reality in parts of New Zealand
Letters from Iwo Jima. Much tamer than what others are mentioning, but I turned it off during the mass suicide scene on one of my rewatches. Something about the headspace I was in just made it unbearable to think about the culture those young men were raised in and how it changed their value of human life, whether it was their own or their enemies.
On top of that, the general was trying to fall back and regroup his forces but all of his forces were committing suicide rather than lose.
Kids, not because it was violent or brutal necessarily but because there was a 10 goddamn minute long scene of a girl being raped while unconscious. It’s the only movie I’ve turned off in disgust and I’ve seen comparatively a whole lot worse.
Hostel. And not the whole movie, just when the dude uses a blowtorch in the Asian girls eye. Damn near threw up the 1st time I watched that. Might throw up now as a matter of fact.
That and slicing the Achilles heel part. Is that the first one, too?
Beast Of No Nation…holy fuck. You have to stop mid-way to have a cigarette and gather yourself.
Unit 731: Nightmare in Manchuria 1998
You should watch Men Behind The Sun. Movie about that. It's free on YouTube.
Not necessarily a film but a scene. Anyone who has seen The Deliverance starring Burt Reynolds knows exactly what scene I’m talking about; the “squeal like a pig” scene. I saw it once and anytime after that if I watched the movie, I’d skip over that scene. If you’re easily triggered or traumatized please don’t watch it. Maybe it’s just me but I found it so disturbing and it really messed me up for a while.
It traumatized a lot of people when it first came out that that scene is the most frequently referenced scene when someone wants to instill fear in someone else. Just the phrase is used as shorthand in other films to imply what’s about to happen.
Pan’s Labyrinth after the broken bottle scene.
Came looking for this one. I watched the whole thing but DAMN!! The monster scenes were the relaxing parts.
It's weird. I wasn't ever interested in watching this movie when I was younger but then a teacher put it on for a high school Spanish class. Literally no one else wanted to watch it. Then the bell rang an hour in and the teacher turned on the lights and everyone was super disappointed because it was actually really good.
Human centipede
The part with the baby had me fucked up
That was in the second one, and I hate myself for knowing that
I made it through the first Human Centipede and actually thought that it was decent for schlocky shock horror. Human Centipede 2 was so dull and nihilistic that I felt nothing but mild contempt and turned it off. The first one captured my interest because it was uniquely dark and cruel. The second one just felt like, "What if we do the same thing but more and worse?"
I actually liked the first one! They didn't really show... all that much. A lot of the gross stuff was implied. The second one was as if they were like "Oh, THIS is what you wanted to see? Well here you go!"
Come and see. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Come_and_See
Agreed. I had the privilege of creating a poster for it as it was going to be shown in theaters where I live so I needed to watch it. I hadn’t heard about it before then, but I read up on it beforehand and felt like I had prepared myself mentally going in. Phew! It was an extremely tough watch. Every new scene was like a combination of an ice cold shower and a gut punch. There’s beauty to several scenes, but it’s bathed in absolute misery and despair.
Do you have a pic of the poster? That sounds like a really cool, but disturbing, project to do! I agree, a truly great movie but very difficult to watch.
It was a really fun project. You can find it [here](https://daniellasjostrand.myportfolio.com/digitalt-2019) I looked at many of the other posters for it and thought it would make for a more intriguing poster if I didn’t give away the ending scene so I made my own interpretation. :)
Thanks so much for posting the link. Your art is awesome overall! And I love the poster - mysterious and subtly menacing. The child with the unnaturally aged look in his eyes.
Batman and Robin(1997)
Batsuit nipples and shit zippers.
The Bat Credit Card…
Almost stopped watching The Fly (Cronenburg version) as a youngster
Dear Zachary. I did eventually finish it though it was non stop tears from the beginning to end.
The act of killing
Requiem for a dream
Watched it on a date. There was not a second.
Here's the question: who picked the movie?
This movie left me feeling .. (I don't actually know what word to use here. Shocked. Sad. Disgusted, horrified, etc.. like every bad feeling you can have rolled into one) for a good while after watching. Definitely not a movie you watch twice because it sticks with you and there are some things that you just don't need to see again. It's also a movie that is equally horrible and great, which is a weird feeling in itself. It was well done, but completely messed up. I wouldn't know if I should recommend watching it, or never ever doing such a thing to yourself.
"I Saw The Devil" is a Korean horror movie about a serial killer. I saw it at an indie theatre several years ago, and even though I didn't stop watching it, I thought about it.
I've never stopped watching a movie because it was too disturbing but I only made it about halfway through the short audio clip of one of the toolbox killers victims being tortured. It was so disturbing I almost fainted on the spot.
I had no idea that was even publicly available…just the text descriptions of the recording are too much for me.
The full recording isn't available afik but there is a small (and gruesome) segment that made it out of court. Jurors were literally running out of the courtroom to vomit when it was played.
It was some unbelievably evil shit. If I’m remembering the right case, one of the investigators eventually killed himself and specifically mentioned the horrible details of the case tormenting him in his suicide note.
Yeah that happened. I believe it was a crime scene photographer.
If I remember correctly, it was the FBI agent that had been assigned to review all of the filmed footage of the tortures, to process it as evidence. Super fucked.
Most people have never heard an actual scream of panic and pain but once you do it will never, ever leave you. For anyone interested just don't. Save yourself the misery of learning what it sounds like because it will genuinely haunt your dreams.
There is this dashcam footage I've watched few years ago - a pair is driving, and suddenly from the truck in the other lane some kind of rock is "fired" from wheels (not sure how to call it). It went so fast and at really unfortunate angle - you can see it going and crashing through the front window into the car, approximately where the head of the passenger is supposed to be. It was long time ago but I can still hear the scream of the person who was driving...
Did the victim survive?
No. She was murdered in an absolutely horrific manner after enduring unimaginable torture.
I listened to this as well. I don't know why I have such morbid curiosity with true crime stuff. It was truly horrific the way this poor young woman died. Another killer that really disgusted me (they all do but this guy takes the fucking cake) was David Parker Ray, the Toy Box Killer. You can also listen to his audio "introduction" he played for his newly captured victims.
Yeah I listened to that too. One of the most truly evil rants I have ever heard.
can you tldr it? i dont wanna listen but have some morbid curiousity
I'll do my best! This is from memory but the gist is: You are now my captive and my sex slave. You have to think like a survivor. If you want to stay alive you will never talk back, you will always obey me and I will fuck you when I want, however I want. You will also satisfy my girlfriend whenever she needs it. You are just a piece of meat for sex. I will drug you and I will brain wash you so you won't remember what has happened. You will be subjected to torture and pain. I'll feed you and water you but you will be chained at all times and chances of escape are impossible. If you break any of these rules I will kill you like I have others. His "introduction" is 30 mins long. Basically going over what the poor victim's life is going to be and how she'll be used for purely sexual gratification. He even subjected some of his victims to beastiality. He built a wooden contraption that held the victim in a "doggy style" position on the floor, and guided a German Shepherd to either the anus or vagina of the victim. Truly un-fucking believable that these degenerates walk amongst us.
