Most Disturbing Movie Scenes

[That-Guy]

BURIED.

The finger scene. Damn.

 

[Doctor Jones]

The dinner scene

Yup, that one.

 

[Bim]

I remember the first time I saw it on VHS, my mom's cat died earlier that day. We were sitting in our den watching it and my sister walked out of the room. Then we looked at the window and I saw my mom's cat walking past the window. She had put a string on it like a puppet and scared the hell out of us.

Ok sorry, but your sister rocks

 

[Sundancer]

Most of mine have been mentioned except:



Hollis Mason getting attacked in Watchmen

Old Yeller (why has no one said this yet?)

 

[Illustrated Man]

The father-daughter incest scene in The War Zone. I can tolerate almost anything but that seriously made me come close to vomiting. Had to watch episodes of The Tick afterwards to get it out of my head.

 

[BrollySupersj]

Saving Private Ryan, Mellish's slow death.

I dont know who here has seen Fire in the Sky, but that movie ****ed me up good. I had literally zero fear of alien abduction before I saw that movie and now the concept terrifies me.

Beloved had some pretty disturbing stuff too...

I'm right with you on this one man. That scene was indeed disturbing.

 

[Why Are You Crouching Spock?]

I remember watching Irreversible a couple of years back, has a quite long and violent rape scene. The thing I found interesting was that the implied rape in Gran Torino (we are only told, and see the girl with bruises and blood running down her thighs) is far more horrific. I think that's probably because the movie sort of builds itself with a sense of positive progression (with Ahney Her's character doing most of it) before sledgehammering the viewers kneecaps. It works well.

The rape scene in Clockwork Orange was very disturbing to me and the inplied rape scene in The Condemned as well.
The brain surgery scene in Saw III was hard to take for some reason when I first saw it.

I forgot about that one , that was tough to watch the first time.

 

[Doctor Jones]

The scene in Hannibal where Lector takes off Liotta's top half of his head and eats his brains while he's still conscious.

 

[Sawyer]

The more I think about it, it's the little scenes in The Exorcist that disturb me more than the scenes where Regan is full-on possessed, just because those scenes were so over the top they were almost funny. But stuff like the scene where Regan pisses herself at her mom's party was creepy as ****.

 

[Still Wynning]

The scene in Hannibal where Lector takes off Liotta's top half of his head and eats his brains while he's still conscious.

I think that scene is more ridiculous and funny than disturbing.

 

[echostation]

When that stupid dumb blonde/brunette is singing on that Austrian mountain in Sound of Music... disgusting

 

[antsman41]

When Candy's mom and Candy fight during Thanksgiving dinner in Candy. Also, Dan and Candy's detoxing stage while she is pregnant is pretty ****ed up.

 

[Doctor Jones]

I think that scene is more ridiculous and funny than disturbing.

If you saw someone eat someone else's brain you wouldn't think it was so funny then now would you? WOULD YOU?!

The part in The Exorcist that creeped me out the most wasn't even in the movie, it was in the book. It was just before the doctors came to the house the first time she was seizing and being taken over by the demon.

According to the book, that whole thing had started in the morning - Regan had run out of her room screaming for her mother to help her, that "Captain Howdy" was chasing her. Her mother was trying to calm her down, but suddenly Regan fell to the floor, and something was clearly punching and kicking her, but no one could see it.

That scared the crap out of me when I read it.

You know, it's funny. Before I ever saw The Exorcist, if the name "Captain Howdy" had ever been mentioned to me, I would've thought it was some children's show character or something and moved on. Now I hear the name and it chills me to the core.

 

[Mr. Para-Normal]

Well one movie that I found disturbing was the Mist with Thomas Jane. I mean it was a sad and distrubing movie. I should have known comming from Stephen King. Anyway the scene that really got me is when he killed his son and the older couple in the car and then the mist goes away and the miltary comes.

Then Precious was pretty sad and distrubing in some parts. She was abused by her mother, her father raped her and had kids by her dad. Plus her own dad gave her AIDS. That was just a sad movie.

Texas Chainsaw Massacre Original...the dinner scene...my first introduction, almost my last introduction to these torture/horror flicks.

Oliver Stone's Salvador when the nun gets raped and killed.

Kevin Reynold's The Beast when that village gets bombed and the rebel gets run over by the tank.

Rambo 4 when the village gets attacked, the missionary gets fed to the pigs, the women raped.

After that, definitely the Hills have Eyes remake: The scene where the family gets attacked in their trailer....that movie just came out of left field and gave me disturbing images I still can't get out of my head.

From that point on, I refuse to watch torture-horror movies...I just don't see the point of paying to watch people get tortured.

I saw the re-release in 2000, and just when the lights went down, someone at the back of the theater yelled "MOMMY!!"

My parents saw it in the theater when it first came out, and it scared the crap out of people back then. Apparently my aunt was trying to light a cigarette outside the theater afterwards and didn't realize she already had a lit cigarette in her hand.

What disturbs me most is that most of the story is supposedly based on real events. I'm not sure I completely buy that, but still....

Have you ever watched the behind-the-scenes specials on the DVD? Some creepy stuff happened on the set too.

 

[8Diagrams(WU)]

The rape scene in the girl with the dragon tattoo. I was like man when is this going to end.

I dont think I'm ready for all that. I mean, I've just barely come to terms with the creepy **** that happened in the film, I dont think I can prepare myself just yet for the craziness that happened outside the film.

I mean the Poltergeist curse stuff is creepy enough, and that film doesn't scare me even half as much as The Exorcist.

It's not even just creepy stuff...reading how they filmed it is just wild. For instance, the guy who played Father Karras' friend was a real priest, and he was a consultant on the film. He had trouble with the scene where he gives last rites to Karras at the end, and after a few takes he told William Friedkin he had nothing left because he'd just done the scene 10 times in a row.

So Friedkin punched him in the face. Then they shot the scene again. That's why his hands are shaking in that shot.

He also used to fire a gun on the set to get shocked reactions out of people.

The harness they were using to flip Linda Blair on the bed broke while they were shooting, and she started screaming for them to stop because the two metal pieces were jamming into her stomach and back. They didn't realize she meant it, they thought she was acting the scene and kept going until she screamed "Really it hurts!!" because they thought she said "Billy".
