Most Disturbing Movie Scenes

[xwolverine2]

The scenes where they punish adrian brody in The Experiment.... particularly when they gang piss on him and drown him in an unflushed toilet

 

[Sawyer]

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".

Oh yeah, I think I read a few of those on the IMDB trivia page.

Karras' death still stands as one of the best film deaths ever IMO.

The birth scene at the beginning of Hills Have Eyes 2.

Ugh that scene always makes me cringe!

One scene that really freaks me out, and i can say it's the only movie that has truly scared the crap out of me, was the rape scene in The Entity... this whole movie in fact i just found very disturbing.

omg yes that scene is sooo creepy

 

[Why Are You Crouching Spock?]

Scums a pretty disturbing movie.
Especially at the end when the lad chops his wrists.

 

[Golgo-13]

I agree about The Entity rape scne. The F/X was remarkably well done for a movie back then during that scene....

 

[ComicChick]

the movie: Taking Lives

the scene:

Spoiler

pregnant with twins, angelina jolie's character is stabbed in the belly with a pair of scissors by the father, played by ethan hawke

i think when that scene happened, there was a collective gasp from nearly every woman in the theatre

 

[HighFivingMF]

Spider-Head in The Thing.

Don't know if it's been posted, but:

The castration scene in Hard Candy.

 

[Figs]

Don't know if it's been posted, but:

The castration scene in Hard Candy.

That reminds me of this horrible film I saw a month or two ago from the '90s called The Doom Generation. One of the main characters gets his penis cut off with trimming shears and then gets it shoved in his mouth.

I guess there are two types of disturbing. Scenes of being creeped out and generally unnerved then I would give to Lost Highway, with Bill Pullman meeting the old man at the party who is simultaneously in his house across town.

Disturbing as in sickening to the core then there is no other competition; turtle mutilation in Cannibal Holocaust. I couldn't even watch the scene without turning away knowing that it was real and not a special effect.

Misery-The Hobble scene is insane. Annie Wilkes=scariest villain ever.

Dracula (1992)-The scene where Dracula gives the brides the crying baby. I saw that when I was twelve and was severely disturbed by it.

Silence of the Lambs-Pretty much anything in it.

And if we're talking about tv movies as well, the horror of my (and I'm sure many others) childhood.

The Exorcist - the entire movie.

I'm 22 years old. I saw that movie when i was 7 or 8. I cannot bring myself to watch the movie, clips or pictures at all. It freaks me the **** out. I was reading the latest issue of Rue Morgue and they had an article about the film, as the blu-ray disc came out a few weeks ago. It was all good and well, until they showed a picture of Linda Blair. Tried finishing the page and became too unnerved to do so. I closed it.

I'm not usually squeamish, or easily disturbed. One of my favorite shows growing up was The X-Files. When I saw this thread title, one episode came to mind, called 'Home'. It's grossly intense for a network television show. And I believe it's the only TV episode to receive a TV-MA rating, for which it was never aired on network tv again.

Two very messed up scenes from two art house movies

A Field In England - (The screaming and the zombie like change in the character is unsettling)

[YT]hv36IZWLL84[/YT]

Possession - Subway scene is just messed up and weird in multiple levels and that is before goo starts oozing out of every orifice

when casey affleck beats the utter crap out of alba in killer inside me

I think it was a good decision. I think it would have seemed overly gratuitous after what they had already shown.

Talking about things in the books not in the movies. Could you imagine how disturbing Jurassic Park would have been if it had been R-rated and kept all of the really hard core stuff in it. I thought what really happened to Nedry, Dr Wu and the baby Raptor the kids had was really screwed up.

 

[LostSon88]

when casey affleck beats the utter crap out of alba in killer inside me

Yeah that was pretty rough to watch.

But some disturbing things in movies. At the top of my head would have to be the rape in Bastard out of Carolina.

I was disturbed and very saddened when the horse and wolf were killed in Dances with Wolves.

I don't even know what the movie was, but when I was a kid, my dad was watching some horror movie where the killer was going after all of these women, cutting off parts of them to try and make the perfect woman, and the most disturbing scene was when he was going after a woman for her legs. He cut her in half with a chainsaw, and I believe she was still alive when people found her.

When watching The Ring, I was very disturbed and shocked to see the chick come out of the TV. In The Ring 2, it was also a bit of a mind bend when the kid was in the dark room with the camera, taking pictures of himself in the mirror, and everytime he took a picture, he could see the ghost behind him getting closer and closer.

The dog's head in Fear. That was when I decided to research movies for their content, I just don't like seeing dogs die in movies.
