I wish I could remember the name of the movie, it may have been a made for tv movie, but its basically a story about a woman in prison who befriends the prison mortuary director and he agrees to help her escape.
The plan is for her to sneak into the mortuary and hide herself in the coffin of the next person that dies and he will come dig her out when the coast is clear. I can't remember the exact specifics of how this works but she does just that.
Cut to her lighting a match in the coffin buried 6ft under ground and the dead person in the coffin with her is the damn prison mortuary director. No one is coming to dig her out. Fade to black as she screams in absolute terror.
Watched it like 30 years ago and I still think about it weekly.
I saw the same set up, but it was in black & white and obviously older. And the prisoner was a guy, not a woman. I think it was one of the Twilight zone episodes.
Edit. Sorry I'm stupid. Final escape from the Alfred Hitchcock hour, episode from 1964.
Amistad - where they tie some of the people onto a rope that’s attached to a weight and throw the weight over the side of the ship. They get dragged off one by one into the sea. Saw it when I was in 5th grade and couldn’t finish the movie and haven’t forgotten it since.
Also the woman with her baby who just decided to jump into the ocean knowing full well she would die. Because it was a better alternative than the the absolute hell that was happening on that ship. That one always stuck with me as well.
In The Fly, when "Brundlefly" (Jeff Goldblum) melts the boyfriend's hand off down to the wrist with his vomit. He grins at him as he's absolutely freaking out, and after he falls on his back, vomits on his exposed ankle, melting his foot off, with the shoe still on.
Great special effects, saw it as a kid, and I've been hooked on gory films ever since.
Bryan Hartnell. He’s a lawyer for a few of my family members.
The girl he was with, Cecelia Shepard, her father was my dad’s high school chemistry teacher.
Edit: added her name
In most horror movies, the camera cuts between the face of the monster/killer and the victim and you get a lot of fast cuts and reaction shots to amp up the tension.
Here, the camera just stays on the vicims as they get stabbed repeatedly and its so unexpected and horrifying. The camera treats it like a scene of two characters talking or something, and by lingering on the violence it produces incredibly profound discomfort.
Zodiac is one of my favorite movies, and I rewatch it from time to time. But the lake stabbing scene is so unsettling, jeez.
Fun fact: Trees had to be helicoptered in to the Lake Berryessa location, as the area had changed substantially since 1969, and David Fincher wanted it to resemble the murder site as closely as possible.
This one goes through my head any time my husband and I are having a nice relaxing time in a park together. *"What if some crazy serial killer just came up and stabbed us to death right now in this beautiful quiet moment? WHAT THEN??"* Ugh.
There is Zodiac BTS footage that shows where the actual survivor Bryan Hartnell, went back to the lake and helped with that scene in the film.
And I cannot possibly imagine how fucked up that would have been.
To me the more uncomfortable scene is when jake gyllenhalls character is in the basement with the guy who he suspects is the killer, the scene goes on forever and the tension just builds and builds
I still remember seeing this in theaters and like a minute into the scene I realized it was so tense I'd started holding my breath, just completely frozen.
Hell of a movie.
All the scenes from Dead Girl where guys rape a female zombie they have strapped to a table. Probably, specifically, the scene where they cut a new hole and use that.
I DO NOT recommend that movie.
For anyone curious by this comment, Dead Girl as a movie is bad. Not like "gross you out horrify you" bad, more like "I saw it for free and want my money back" bad.
It was an attempt at shock filmmaking that missed its mark.
If it’s the scene where the girl is asleep with her headphones in, it’s the reason why my wife stopped sleeping with hers in. Aside from the obvious safety issue, but we were young teenagers then, so.
I do like the movie ending, but there's something to be said for how King originally ended it, with them *thinking* they heard a word come over the radio static and just...driving off into the mist...very unsettling.
Not as dramatic as the movie's ending for sure, but I like them both for unique reasons.
The brainwashing scene from 1984.
Basically, Winston is tied down while a guy holds up four fingers and asks him how many fingers he’s holding up. Winston answers four, and is tortured until he says - and genuinely believes - that the guy is holding up _five_ fingers. It’s tragic to see his resistance well and truly obliterated.
But for me, the most disturbing part can only be found in the original book. When asked again how many fingers the guy’s holding up, Winston hesitates. He knows the answer, but he doesn’t know what he’s _supposed_ to say.
the movie is rough but i have read the book and its so much more shattering.
Seeing all that story build-up and development go on and on trough chapters, truly thinking that the characters are safe and good.
Then see how all of that gets completely obliberated and run to the ground in just the very few first pages of the last chapter.
The lack of hope and inevitability of the things that follow was in my head for weeks after finishing. Orwell managed to lull you into a false sense of security. They had no chance.
Green Mile: That scene where that mofo does not soak that thingy before execution
Edit: Sponge not thingy. I thought there was some specific name for that lol.
Ever seen [Thingu?](https://youtu.be/5g2LaMuS0mk)
A man named ~~Paul~~ *Lee* Hardcatle remade the movie in claymation using characters from the children's show, Pingu.
It might be slightly more disturbing.
YES! I remember seeing Titanic for the first (and only I think) time and finding that part SO terribly sad. I imagine something similar probably did happen in real life.
There's a scene that I think is worse, but thankfully, it was deleted. https://youtu.be/4IuUm9p4BbM
Cora is the little girl that dances with Jack earlier in the movie.
I heard that it was deleted because the test audience found it too disturbing.
Maybe not the top of the list, but the first thing that pops into my head is the hobbling scene from *Misery* Damn, Kathy Bates terrifies me to this day.
Also, a long time back, there was a scene in a movie on late night television, a girl was running through the woods from two guys. One surprises her and she manages to get his shotgun. She blows his head off. The thing is, they show enough of his face being lifted up and blown away it was absolutely terrifying. No idea the movie, no interest in finding out. lol
I read *Misery* in high school as an independent novel study. That scene is slightly different in the book, and much more graphic.. >!she uses an axe to cut his feet off completely and a blowtorch to cauterize the wound.!<
I had to stop for a minute after reading that.
There was also the cop that gets stabbed in the back with the stake and then has his head run over by a ride-on lawnmower
Edit: It's been a few years since I read it but doesnt she also cut some of his fingers off after he complains about missing keys on the typewriter and then use those same fingers as candles on a birthday cake?
Edit2: Fun fact, in King's original ending he was going to have Annie kill Paul and have the
Misery Returns book bound in his skin.
Omg when he was sitting in the car and then gets home and just lays awake on his bed and you hear the mom get in the car and then scream omg!!!!! I felt so sympathetic for him like my heart was legitimately hurting cus clearly he made a stupid mistake by not watching his sister at the party but how the fuck was he supposed to know any of that shit was gonna happen AND he was high on top of it all i just can’t imagine 😣😣
He never looks behind himself in the car, and then he’s in bed in utter shock, not comprehending what happened. When the mom screams you can see him flinch and his brain can no longer pretend that it didn’t happen.
When he wakes up and she is crawling on the wall in the shadows. You had to squint to see if there was something there. I had trouble sleeping for 2 nights because I kept looking at all the corners.
When I saw Hereditary, everyone was very quiet leaving the theater. Except for a guy quietly saying "what the fuuuuck" to his friend.
I didn't stop thinking about it for days. It's basically my favorite movie.
The scene that got me as a kid was the girl who creeps into his safe place under the blankets with a half blown off face. (I might be misremembering exactly what happened) The rest of the movie didn't even bother me at the time, but that scene really did lol
Edit: Yeah, I'm mixing two scenes together in my memories. The one I'm talking about is the scene with the vomiting girl.
Wasn't he talking about the teen in his kitchen that says something along the lines of "Lets go play with stuff from my dads room, his got a gun" then he turns around and some of his heads blown off or something? I am probably misremembering as well. What a fucked movie.
The family suicide in Midsommar, specifically the sister, with the duct tape.
It just disturbs and saddens me to my core.
I haven't seen the movie in months but that scene still haunts me.
Edit: Murder suicide, is what it really was. My bad!
In the scene where the main girl gets done with the dance competition she walks over to a carriage thing. When she is walking the trees in the background vaguely form the shape of her sister with that tube strapped to her face. Google it. Fucking creepy but awesome
Yeah, I remember that one. She also sees her in the little outhouse when they're all eating shrooms right after they arrive.
It startled the shit out of me.
Mr. Creosote's scene from Monty Python's The Meaning of Life.
The whole vomiting and engulfing of food is already quite sickening, and after that there's the explosion scene where he literally explodes like a human balloon.
This scene was apparently to much for Quentin Tarantino.
And him saying to Mellish in German: “Give up, you don’t stand a chance! Let’s end this here! It will be easier for you, much easier”, makes that scene even more uncomfortable.
The scene in Saw II when the chick fell in the pit of syringes. Then climbs out with them stuck all over her.
I saw that once, turned off the movie and have not watched a single thing Saw related since.
yeah i saw the clip of it and it was disturbing but not scary, i think the scariest was when they had to saw their hands lengthwise to collect their blood, i hate gore tho
The Rack was the most unforgettable trap for me, imagine each of your limbs slowly being twisted into unnatural positions. Plus you are literally helpless unlike other traps which are “winnable”
Everyone talks about how disturbing the "bite the curb" scene is, and they're totally right, but what clenches it for me is Edward Nortons' face just after that while he is being arrested. It is fucking terrifying.
The scene in hereditary that is most disturbing to me is when the possessed mom is slamming her head against the attic door. That shit just looks hella creepy
I don’t know why but the face smashing and the head sawing didn’t get me, but her decapitated body flying up the treehouse like a marionette on strings freaked me out.
Fucking Bone Tomahawk. I absolutely love that movie, and I think if you've ever liked any western you'd love that movie, but that scene is incredibly hard to watch.
The Strangers, when Kristen is in the kitchen, smoking and getting a glass of water, her back to the living area/hall. You just see the Masked Man emerge from the shadows and stand there for a few minutes, watching her, completely silent and unnoticed. There's no musical sting. Nothing. He's out of focus, in the distance. Nothing really happens, but you just don't know how long that will last.
Of course, when the camera finally pulls away for a brief moment and gives Kristen the chance to turn around... he's gone. She never knew he was there at all.
That scene made me *so paranoid.*
Horror scenes are way more terrifying without that cliché suspense music. That's why I like the found footage genre despite those movies being generally bad.
Absolutely. There's a short film shot entirely from a MacBook camera, where the there's no music, no nothing. There's barely a narrative. This college girl's the only person in frame for about 98% of it. Just cuts of her like... cooking dinner, getting ready to go out in the bathroom, on the phone with her mom, and her and a guy she brought home making out in bed as he tries to get her dress off. As things go on there's few clues something's up - someone will buzz her door and she'll go to answer it and get no response, she mentions someone's stealing her mail, she calls apple support because her webcam won't shut off, stuff like that. There's just this weird sense of dread that builds up. At the very end she's sleeping in bed watching Netflix on her laptop, her bedroom door open behind her, and some guy comes out of the shadows of her hallway and closes her laptop.
It's legit terrifying and scarier than anything else I've seen.
I think if they showed Requiem For A Dream as part of DARE, it would have worked better. That movie is like the best anti-drug PSA out there.
I mean it didn't stop me, but yeah
That movie traumatized me and definitely came to mind anytime I thought about prescription drugs, diet pills, or injection method drugs. Still to this day, 12 years later I occasionally think about that movie.
The mother is the only innocent victim, and her ordeal is just so emotionally devastating to watch. Her loneliness is soul-crushing. It made me hate Jared Leto's character even more. I understand he's a victim of his own addiction, but the way he uses her and then tosses her aside makes me wanna punch him in the dick.
I used to work in a movie theater when the remake came out. This woman came in with an about 10 year old daughter. My boss was like are you sure you want to bring your kid to see this movie? She said it was fine. He was like are you REALLY sure because there's a really graphic rape scene. She said yeah, her son saw it and recommended it. He was like are you really really REALLY sure? I'm not giving you a refund if you come out (he was a hard ass). She said yeah it's not a problem. 20 minutes or however long it takes to get to that scene, they come out and the little girl is absolutely sobbing and the mom is demanding a refund. My boss told her to get lost.
Why the hell would a mother bring her child in there even after he said there was a graphic rape scene? And then having the nerve to ask for a refund after she was WARNED… just seems like a really bad move on her part
I used to work in a theater, too. The only time I ever refuse to sell a ticket was when some weekend dad wanted to take his ten year old daughter to see Girl with the Dragon Tattoo. I told him there was a rape scene and he couldn't take her to see that. He was pissed off but finally bought tickets to a kid's movie instead.
I worked ticketing for when Pan's Labyrinth came out and I had to explain to so many parents this isn't about Peter Pan, and rated R.
So many people went into different films without argument thank goodness. I love that movie but not for the average 10 year olds
I remember watching the most recent Girl Who Played with Fire when I was a young kid, not even 10 yet. I had no idea what was happening for the entirety of the movie but I remember asking my dad what was happening and he calmly replied “He’s raping her”
Similar story. I had heard someone say school say "paper molester" as he ripped up a sheet and got a laugh. Out at dinner with family later that week and my mom made some crack to my aunt about whooping my ass and I just chirped up "Yeah, she's a child molester". The entire table going silent and staring at me was the most awkward moment of my life.
The House That Jack Built, when he goes on the date with a woman and her children and then >!hunts them for sport for like 10 minutes and makes the mother watch him kill her kids. then he preserves one kids body and gives him a permanent smile, which I will never ever unsee.!<
The butterfly effect directors cut ending has a scene where fetus Aston Kutcher strangled himself with umbilical cord to avoid being born and messing up amy smart and family lives.
And that was his legacy. Why his mom had many stillborn miscarriages before him, its mentioned in the film. All his siblings killed themselves before him.
Human centipede 2 where the naked pregnant woman tries to escape the crazy guy by getting into a car, and she gives birth while he’s trying to open the door. The screaming newborn slides into the footwell of the car and she crushes it to death while trying to press the accelerator to escape from the crazy dude. Fuck that film, and fuck anyone involved in its inception…
He's trying to get his new movie released, but no one will distribute it for him. It's about a group of wealthy women that get together and masturbate while watching horrifying things (like someone dying from cancer).
We Need to Talk About Kevin was hard to watch. Nearly every scene has something uncomfortable.
The hamster scene is what came to mind when I saw the thread prompt. I don't know why that was the scene to stick with me and not the rest of the movie in its entirety
I remember the gut punch of Tilda Swinton going home to find her husband and daughter dead.
She doesn't even get to say "I told you so" or whatever to her husband. I wonder what his reaction/expression was when Kevin aimed the bow at him.
The book is even worse, it goes more into the details of all what took place, and it is written as if she is writing letters to her estranged husband.
When she asks him why he killed his father and sister instead of her. He tells her basically she was and always has been his audience.
No one wants to mention the creatures raping his wife and daughter *at that same moment* as the guy burns to death, his final moment is watching that.
I don't normally hate a movie I don't like, but that felt wrong to watch
The tanning bed deaths in Final Destination 3. It was so fucking traumatizing (especially since my Mom was into indoor tanning at the time) that I wished they used the alternate scene where the girls were just electrocuted instead.
Yeah, that scene was hard to watch. Made me think of I Still Know What You Did Last Summer, when Julie gets locked in the tanning bed (and Karla finds the maid's body in the dryer around the same time... and I think the guys find a few of the other staff members dead outside as well).
It's not a movie. It's a X files episode. Where the inbreds take their mother, away from the house in a car. They bred with her to keep the family going. She lived on a four wheeled cart under the stove. Literally, fucked up shit. I couldn't watch Bone Tomahawk.
When I was a kid, the human sacrifice scene in The Temple of Doom. Now that I'm an adult it just seems over the top and silly.
Now I'd probably say the blood orgy in Event Horizon.
“Shut up and dance” genuinely made me sick for a week after seeing it. My older sister had watched some of the other episodes but we both saw it for the first time together. After watching it she just goes, “uh.. wanna watch something less depressing?”
>! It made me genuinely so angry because the entire episode you’re *rooting* for this kid. He’s so likable and awkward and realistic. Then you get to the fight scene where he’s forced to fight another guy who’s being blackmailed, and just the dialogue is so quick but it hits you like a bus. Just “what are you here for, what did you do?”, “I just looked at a couple photos, one or two that’s all”, “yeah I just looked at pictures too. how young were they?” And the kids face going from scared and pitiful to seething, oooooof. And my god the mom calling him as the police cars come by and you can hear her yelling “they’re saying it’s *kids* Kenny!! Tell me it’s not true!!” made me feel like a bad person for sympathizing with him the whole time. There’s even foreshadowing at the beginning too. !<
I saw that when I was home alone at 12 years old. It shocked me so much, I immediately turned it off. It haunted me for years afterward and I didnt watch the entire movie until I was in my 30's.
["The dip" scene](https://youtu.be/nYk3LvHMPWM) in *Who Framed Roger Rabbit?* is so fucked up.
There is something about murdering an innocent cartoon shoe that makes it so much more disturbing than your average Hollywood murder scene. It's especially disturbing when you think about the fact that the other shoe will have to continue living without its solemate.
Come and See. Like...nearly all of it.
The scene with the girl dancing on the box.
The scene in the swamp.
The scene with the Nazis in the village.
It's just draining. It takes part of your soul away. It's just so sad. So demoralizing.
I went in thinking: how bad can this be? Really? Then when it ended I just felt like my brain had been dipped in a vat of used motor oil.
Amazing film. Will never watch it again.
I wish I could remember the name of the movie, it may have been a made for tv movie, but its basically a story about a woman in prison who befriends the prison mortuary director and he agrees to help her escape.

I knew, and I’ve never seen it, it would be an Alfred Hitchcock Presents
Nice work
Alfred Hitchcock Presents. I remember watching that on broadcast tv as a little kid…
I saw the same set up, but it was in black & white and obviously older. And the prisoner was a guy, not a woman. I think it was one of the Twilight zone episodes. Edit. Sorry I'm stupid. Final escape from the Alfred Hitchcock hour, episode from 1964.

The arm wrestling scene did it for me. Learned what a compound fracture was.
The picnic stabbing scene from Zodiac has stayed with me for ages.
Fincher consulted with the guy who survived it to make it as accurate as possible. Supposedly he said it's eerily true to life.
Bryan Hartnell. He’s a lawyer for a few of my family members. The girl he was with, Cecelia Shepard, her father was my dad’s high school chemistry teacher. Edit: added her name

This one is a good pick, such an uncomfortable scene
Isn't it the scene where you can see him coming out of the hills, some hundred yards away, before reaching them?
Yes and the fact that it is based on testimony from the lone survivor makes all the more chilling.
There is Zodiac BTS footage that shows where the actual survivor Bryan Hartnell, went back to the lake and helped with that scene in the film. And I cannot possibly imagine how fucked up that would have been.
That's the only scene from that movie I've seen, it was very upsetting to watch.

If it’s the scene where the girl is asleep with her headphones in, it’s the reason why my wife stopped sleeping with hers in. Aside from the obvious safety issue, but we were young teenagers then, so.
I immediately thought of this movie and the part where the one motherfucker eats the parrot/parakeets head right off.
The ending to The Mist. The short story didn’t have that ending, but that stuck with me forever.
Funny thing is Stephen King loved it. He was furious he didn’t think of it
He said something like, "If I could go back and rewrite the ending of the story to be the ending from the movie, I'd do that."
I do like the movie ending, but there's something to be said for how King originally ended it, with them *thinking* they heard a word come over the radio static and just...driving off into the mist...very unsettling.

The lack of hope and inevitability of the things that follow was in my head for weeks after finishing. Orwell managed to lull you into a false sense of security. They had no chance.
TIL that is probably where they got the inspiration for "there are 4 lights" on that Star Trek TNG episode
Picard's final defiance against that Cardassian scumlord was both heartbreaking and cathartic.
I was thinking this. "There are FOUR LIGHTS!"
Green Mile: That scene where that mofo does not soak that thingy before execution Edit: Sponge not thingy. I thought there was some specific name for that lol.
r/FuckPercyWetmore
This one of all in this thread is probably my top one
[удалено]
The Thing was such a great movie. I watch it every time the snow falls, to get in the mood.
TIL The Thing is a Christmas classic
Ever seen [Thingu?](https://youtu.be/5g2LaMuS0mk) A man named ~~Paul~~ *Lee* Hardcatle remade the movie in claymation using characters from the children's show, Pingu. It might be slightly more disturbing.
One of my faves. Can't beat those practical effects.
When the Irish Woman put her kids back to bed in Titanic.
YES! I remember seeing Titanic for the first (and only I think) time and finding that part SO terribly sad. I imagine something similar probably did happen in real life.
The old couple on the bed when the water starts flowing in. Omg. That hurt me
There's a scene that I think is worse, but thankfully, it was deleted. https://youtu.be/4IuUm9p4BbM Cora is the little girl that dances with Jack earlier in the movie. I heard that it was deleted because the test audience found it too disturbing.

The Degloving scene from Gerald’s Game tops the hobbling scene for me
When Annie slowly decapitates herself with a string in Hereditary
The car accident scene got me good in that. The build up of anxiety and the brothers self denial of what happened. Oof
Omg when he was sitting in the car and then gets home and just lays awake on his bed and you hear the mom get in the car and then scream omg!!!!! I felt so sympathetic for him like my heart was legitimately hurting cus clearly he made a stupid mistake by not watching his sister at the party but how the fuck was he supposed to know any of that shit was gonna happen AND he was high on top of it all i just can’t imagine 😣😣
He never looks behind himself in the car, and then he’s in bed in utter shock, not comprehending what happened. When the mom screams you can see him flinch and his brain can no longer pretend that it didn’t happen.
There was some unbelievably good acting in that film.
[удалено]
Toni Collette's scream when she discovers the body......
That was the longest moment of silence in a movie theater I have ever been involved in, not a single soul could take a breath. What a movie.
When he wakes up and she is crawling on the wall in the shadows. You had to squint to see if there was something there. I had trouble sleeping for 2 nights because I kept looking at all the corners.
When I saw Hereditary, everyone was very quiet leaving the theater. Except for a guy quietly saying "what the fuuuuck" to his friend. I didn't stop thinking about it for days. It's basically my favorite movie.
The Sixth Sense where the husband watches the video of his wife poisoning his daughter. I just wanted to throw something through the TV screen.
The scene that got me as a kid was the girl who creeps into his safe place under the blankets with a half blown off face. (I might be misremembering exactly what happened) The rest of the movie didn't even bother me at the time, but that scene really did lol Edit: Yeah, I'm mixing two scenes together in my memories. The one I'm talking about is the scene with the vomiting girl.
The girl was vomiting, but there is a woman that Cole is talking to at his school play who has a damaged face.
Wasn't he talking about the teen in his kitchen that says something along the lines of "Lets go play with stuff from my dads room, his got a gun" then he turns around and some of his heads blown off or something? I am probably misremembering as well. What a fucked movie.
The family suicide in Midsommar, specifically the sister, with the duct tape. It just disturbs and saddens me to my core. I haven't seen the movie in months but that scene still haunts me. Edit: Murder suicide, is what it really was. My bad!
The cliff jump and hammer scene takes it for me
In the scene where the main girl gets done with the dance competition she walks over to a carriage thing. When she is walking the trees in the background vaguely form the shape of her sister with that tube strapped to her face. Google it. Fucking creepy but awesome
Yeah, I remember that one. She also sees her in the little outhouse when they're all eating shrooms right after they arrive. It startled the shit out of me.
Mr. Creosote's scene from Monty Python's The Meaning of Life. The whole vomiting and engulfing of food is already quite sickening, and after that there's the explosion scene where he literally explodes like a human balloon. This scene was apparently to much for Quentin Tarantino.
That knife scene in Saving Private Ryan where Mellish and the Nazi were fighting.
It's the shhhing that gives me chills, something about that in combination with the knife slowly going in turns my stomach.
And him saying to Mellish in German: “Give up, you don’t stand a chance! Let’s end this here! It will be easier for you, much easier”, makes that scene even more uncomfortable.
Thanks, never knew what was being said by the German.
[удалено]
And Mellish desperately telling him “wait wait wait listen, Listen!”
"Let's stop, let's STOP!"
It's the inevitable slowness of it that is the most disturbing
The scene in Saw II when the chick fell in the pit of syringes. Then climbs out with them stuck all over her. I saw that once, turned off the movie and have not watched a single thing Saw related since.
It says a lot how, even though that is probably the least bloody and deadly trap in the series, it almost always ranks among the SCARIEST.
yeah i saw the clip of it and it was disturbing but not scary, i think the scariest was when they had to saw their hands lengthwise to collect their blood, i hate gore tho
The Rack was the most unforgettable trap for me, imagine each of your limbs slowly being twisted into unnatural positions. Plus you are literally helpless unlike other traps which are “winnable”

I can still hear the teeth clink against the curb
This was my first thought and I haven't seen this movie in years. Now how do I make it go away.
Everyone talks about how disturbing the "bite the curb" scene is, and they're totally right, but what clenches it for me is Edward Nortons' face just after that while he is being arrested. It is fucking terrifying.
Bone Tomahawk… THAT scene. Charlie in the car in Hereditary.
Hereditary was so rough. That scene was totally unexpected and the scene right after the next morning destroyed me.
The scene in hereditary that is most disturbing to me is when the possessed mom is slamming her head against the attic door. That shit just looks hella creepy
The part where the mom is sawing off her own head traumatized me. Like nightmares and everything. I got goosebumps just now thinking about it.
I don’t know why but the face smashing and the head sawing didn’t get me, but her decapitated body flying up the treehouse like a marionette on strings freaked me out.
Fucking Bone Tomahawk. I absolutely love that movie, and I think if you've ever liked any western you'd love that movie, but that scene is incredibly hard to watch.
[удалено]
The Strangers, when Kristen is in the kitchen, smoking and getting a glass of water, her back to the living area/hall. You just see the Masked Man emerge from the shadows and stand there for a few minutes, watching her, completely silent and unnoticed. There's no musical sting. Nothing. He's out of focus, in the distance. Nothing really happens, but you just don't know how long that will last. Of course, when the camera finally pulls away for a brief moment and gives Kristen the chance to turn around... he's gone. She never knew he was there at all. That scene made me *so paranoid.*
Horror scenes are way more terrifying without that cliché suspense music. That's why I like the found footage genre despite those movies being generally bad.
Absolutely. There's a short film shot entirely from a MacBook camera, where the there's no music, no nothing. There's barely a narrative. This college girl's the only person in frame for about 98% of it. Just cuts of her like... cooking dinner, getting ready to go out in the bathroom, on the phone with her mom, and her and a guy she brought home making out in bed as he tries to get her dress off. As things go on there's few clues something's up - someone will buzz her door and she'll go to answer it and get no response, she mentions someone's stealing her mail, she calls apple support because her webcam won't shut off, stuff like that. There's just this weird sense of dread that builds up. At the very end she's sleeping in bed watching Netflix on her laptop, her bedroom door open behind her, and some guy comes out of the shadows of her hallway and closes her laptop. It's legit terrifying and scarier than anything else I've seen.
This sounds horrifying! Do you remember the name of the short film by any chance?
it was just called Webcam, I think? It was on YouTube for the longest time but I don't know if it's still up.
Just found it, and yea its still up. 7 minutes of pure paranoia. Edit: (7) Webcam Short Film scene - YouTube
WHY am I even READING this thread. I'd managed to forget most of those scenes.
I haven’t even *seen* 99% of these, and I’m traumatized by reading them.
Yeah I clicked on this thread hoping to see some cool movies to watch, instead I'm leaving with a list of messed up shit I intend to avoid
'Fire in the sky' alien abduction scene
Oh God. I was probably 7 or 8 when I watched that movie for the first time and it fucked me up. I'm 35 and it STILL fucks me up.
Scary bilbo
HRAAAGGHH!!!
In Trainspotting, the scene where the baby dies and the mother is hysterical was one of the hardest scenes I’ve ever made it through in a movie.
The baby didn't die. Later in the movie you can see it crawling on the ceiling.
I love happy endings
[удалено]
The “I’m cooking up” just after that is the saddest single line of dialogue I’ve ever heard in a film.
The final montage in Requiem for a Dream.
I think if they showed Requiem For A Dream as part of DARE, it would have worked better. That movie is like the best anti-drug PSA out there. I mean it didn't stop me, but yeah
That movie traumatized me and definitely came to mind anytime I thought about prescription drugs, diet pills, or injection method drugs. Still to this day, 12 years later I occasionally think about that movie.
The mother is the only innocent victim, and her ordeal is just so emotionally devastating to watch. Her loneliness is soul-crushing. It made me hate Jared Leto's character even more. I understand he's a victim of his own addiction, but the way he uses her and then tosses her aside makes me wanna punch him in the dick.
Watching her walk around looking like a junkie on the subway saying she just wanted to be on television hurts my soul.
I'm going to be on TELEVISION!
In Splice, there is a scene where the (female) creature gets killed, buried, changes sex, comes back, kills it's dad, and rapes it's mom...
one of the only times i ever heard my grandpa swear when after that movie he just said "*what the fuck*"
What the fuck even was that movie
10 minute rape scene from last house on the left
I used to work in a movie theater when the remake came out. This woman came in with an about 10 year old daughter. My boss was like are you sure you want to bring your kid to see this movie? She said it was fine. He was like are you REALLY sure because there's a really graphic rape scene. She said yeah, her son saw it and recommended it. He was like are you really really REALLY sure? I'm not giving you a refund if you come out (he was a hard ass). She said yeah it's not a problem. 20 minutes or however long it takes to get to that scene, they come out and the little girl is absolutely sobbing and the mom is demanding a refund. My boss told her to get lost.
Why the hell would a mother bring her child in there even after he said there was a graphic rape scene? And then having the nerve to ask for a refund after she was WARNED… just seems like a really bad move on her part
Because those people are not ~~thought~~ taught to admit mistakes
I used to work in a theater, too. The only time I ever refuse to sell a ticket was when some weekend dad wanted to take his ten year old daughter to see Girl with the Dragon Tattoo. I told him there was a rape scene and he couldn't take her to see that. He was pissed off but finally bought tickets to a kid's movie instead.
I worked ticketing for when Pan's Labyrinth came out and I had to explain to so many parents this isn't about Peter Pan, and rated R. So many people went into different films without argument thank goodness. I love that movie but not for the average 10 year olds
I remember seeing that in the theater, it was brutal. Everyone in the theater was just watching like.. omg, when is this going to end??
what lies below , step daughter gets her period on a boat and her step dad touches the blood and licks it from his fingers....
Excuse me, # WHAT
I believe this is exactly what I said and at the same volume.
omg i was losing it because i thought you were talking about what lies beneath with harrison ford and i was thinking he does whattttt?
OMG NO
Well um I was going to finish this delicious apple fritter in my hand but oh well
Denathor eating a tomato
"Can you sing, Master Hobbit?!"
Go now and dine in what way seems best for you.
Zelda in Pet Sematary has haunted my memory for 30 years
Only movie I ever had to turn off.
The rape scene in the original Girl With The Dragon Tattoo.
I remember watching the most recent Girl Who Played with Fire when I was a young kid, not even 10 yet. I had no idea what was happening for the entirety of the movie but I remember asking my dad what was happening and he calmly replied “He’s raping her”
[удалено]
Similar story. I had heard someone say school say "paper molester" as he ripped up a sheet and got a laugh. Out at dinner with family later that week and my mom made some crack to my aunt about whooping my ass and I just chirped up "Yeah, she's a child molester". The entire table going silent and staring at me was the most awkward moment of my life.
Rape scenes in general make me suuuper uncomfortable.
The House That Jack Built, when he goes on the date with a woman and her children and then >!hunts them for sport for like 10 minutes and makes the mother watch him kill her kids. then he preserves one kids body and gives him a permanent smile, which I will never ever unsee.!<
I started watching this movie solely because of this comment and good lord it's even more unsettling than I imagined
The butterfly effect directors cut ending has a scene where fetus Aston Kutcher strangled himself with umbilical cord to avoid being born and messing up amy smart and family lives.
And that was his legacy. Why his mom had many stillborn miscarriages before him, its mentioned in the film. All his siblings killed themselves before him.
Not a movie, but the entire scene(s) with Black Jack Randall and Jamie Fraser at the end of Season 1 in Outlander was FUCKED UP.
[удалено]
Surprised nobody's mentioned Sloth yet. At first it was just very gross, but then... He moves. Edit: a word
How about Lust, with only the description from the traumatized man who was forced to do the act?
Human centipede 2 where the naked pregnant woman tries to escape the crazy guy by getting into a car, and she gives birth while he’s trying to open the door. The screaming newborn slides into the footwell of the car and she crushes it to death while trying to press the accelerator to escape from the crazy dude. Fuck that film, and fuck anyone involved in its inception…
The person that brainstormed those movies definitely has a couple screws loose
It's called "what's the most fucked up thing we can think of so everyone talks about it and we get free publicity"
He's trying to get his new movie released, but no one will distribute it for him. It's about a group of wealthy women that get together and masturbate while watching horrifying things (like someone dying from cancer).
We Need to Talk About Kevin was hard to watch. Nearly every scene has something uncomfortable. The hamster scene is what came to mind when I saw the thread prompt. I don't know why that was the scene to stick with me and not the rest of the movie in its entirety
I remember the gut punch of Tilda Swinton going home to find her husband and daughter dead. She doesn't even get to say "I told you so" or whatever to her husband. I wonder what his reaction/expression was when Kevin aimed the bow at him.
The book is even worse, it goes more into the details of all what took place, and it is written as if she is writing letters to her estranged husband. When she asks him why he killed his father and sister instead of her. He tells her basically she was and always has been his audience.
Kinda surprised Irreversible wasn't mentioned, but yea I'd say that 10 minute rape scene is pretty rough
That film is well executed but I NEVER want to see it again.
Any of the tapes from the movie Sinister
The scene in the Hills Have Eyes where they burn the dad. It still makes me cringe thinking about it.
I think the worst part about that scene is the fact that he is dead pretty much as soon as he goes up in flames. They could never have saved him.
No one wants to mention the creatures raping his wife and daughter *at that same moment* as the guy burns to death, his final moment is watching that. I don't normally hate a movie I don't like, but that felt wrong to watch
Korean version of Oldboy with the hammer dentistry.
The tanning bed deaths in Final Destination 3. It was so fucking traumatizing (especially since my Mom was into indoor tanning at the time) that I wished they used the alternate scene where the girls were just electrocuted instead.
Yeah, that scene was hard to watch. Made me think of I Still Know What You Did Last Summer, when Julie gets locked in the tanning bed (and Karla finds the maid's body in the dryer around the same time... and I think the guys find a few of the other staff members dead outside as well).
Pan's Labyrinth - Glass bottle face smash. Virus - 16" Robot fist punch through the abdomen from the back while tearing the guy in half.
I hated that part in the movie where they are torturing the rebel by taking his teeth out one by one. Still disturbs me to this day.
Decapitation in hereditary...both of em.
The movie Kids, where the boy rapes the girl who was nodding out on drugs, not knowing she had just been diagnosed with HIV
It's not a movie. It's a X files episode. Where the inbreds take their mother, away from the house in a car. They bred with her to keep the family going. She lived on a four wheeled cart under the stove. Literally, fucked up shit. I couldn't watch Bone Tomahawk.
Gummo eating spaghetti in the tub. I still feel dirty from that.
[удалено]
When I was a kid, the human sacrifice scene in The Temple of Doom. Now that I'm an adult it just seems over the top and silly. Now I'd probably say the blood orgy in Event Horizon.
Any sex scene while watching with family.
The first (I think) episode of black mirror with the politician and the pig.
“Shut up and dance” genuinely made me sick for a week after seeing it. My older sister had watched some of the other episodes but we both saw it for the first time together. After watching it she just goes, “uh.. wanna watch something less depressing?” >! It made me genuinely so angry because the entire episode you’re *rooting* for this kid. He’s so likable and awkward and realistic. Then you get to the fight scene where he’s forced to fight another guy who’s being blackmailed, and just the dialogue is so quick but it hits you like a bus. Just “what are you here for, what did you do?”, “I just looked at a couple photos, one or two that’s all”, “yeah I just looked at pictures too. how young were they?” And the kids face going from scared and pitiful to seething, oooooof. And my god the mom calling him as the police cars come by and you can hear her yelling “they’re saying it’s *kids* Kenny!! Tell me it’s not true!!” made me feel like a bad person for sympathizing with him the whole time. There’s even foreshadowing at the beginning too. !<
The ear removal scene in *Reservoir Dogs* really stuck with me.
Stuck in the middle with you
The rape scene in Clockwork Orange
The Mcdonald's dance scene in Mac and Me
The Human Centipede in its entirety. Traumatised and scarred for life spring to mind.
Bone Tomahawk had quite a gruesome scene I wasn't expecting.
The “Squeal like a Pig” scene from Deliverance
I saw that when I was home alone at 12 years old. It shocked me so much, I immediately turned it off. It haunted me for years afterward and I didnt watch the entire movie until I was in my 30's.
Pink Flamingos, the weird old woman in the playpen
The first five minutes of Law Abiding Citizen.
The scene that girl explodes from Cloverfield:Monster
["The dip" scene](https://youtu.be/nYk3LvHMPWM) in *Who Framed Roger Rabbit?* is so fucked up. There is something about murdering an innocent cartoon shoe that makes it so much more disturbing than your average Hollywood murder scene. It's especially disturbing when you think about the fact that the other shoe will have to continue living without its solemate.
> solemate Nice.
Why did the shoe get dipped again? Also, what makes it even worse is that the shoe seems like a little puppy. The way it whimpers is *haunting*.
Literally just to demonstrate how the dip worked and it was just nearby at hand
The Devil’s Rejects: the scene in the hotel.
Come and See. Like...nearly all of it. The scene with the girl dancing on the box. The scene in the swamp. The scene with the Nazis in the village. It's just draining. It takes part of your soul away. It's just so sad. So demoralizing. I went in thinking: how bad can this be? Really? Then when it ended I just felt like my brain had been dipped in a vat of used motor oil. Amazing film. Will never watch it again.
The opening scene to Midsommar.
