Most Disturbing Moment In A Film

Boys Don't Cry - based on a true story about a young girl who had a gender identity crisis and pretended to be a man to a group of sothern americans - when they found out her lie (and that she had been having a relationship with one of the women) they raped her. The ending is one of the most diturbing things i have seen, especially when one of the characters is shot in front of her own child. This coupled with the rape scene left me unsettled for days (made even worse by the fact it was based on true events !)

Also, the original Texas Chainsaw Massacre upset me terribly !
 
LOL!! I don't know how thats gonna work

^^ oh gosh, I remember that Hostel 2 was pretty messed up with the level of gore and violence inflicted on the girls...but that scene was really f'ed up....xx
 
I think the BBFC view on that was that eating octopus is a normal thing in that part of the world.

The animal killings in the cannibal films are purely for the purposes of filming the carnage and in the case of the turtle scene it is a gratuitous and long scene that pretty much amounts to torture as the animal is clearly alive when its beheaded and the rest of the dismemberment is equally bad.
 
The scene in "Casino" where Joe Pesci's character has to watch his brother get beaten then in turn is beaten close to death by a baseball bat and then buried I found very disturbing.
 
Not really a movie, but the scene in Roots, where they chop his foot off, is pretty nasty.

My brother had several nightmares, after watching that scene.
 
How could i forget "Is it safe?" - It does stay with you...

And to the person asking about Irreversible, many do go on about how disturbing that scene is purely because it is SO disturbing.
 
I don't watch horror films because they really don't agree with me. I just find them upsetting rather than frightening or whatever. But three of the most disturbing scenes in films I can think of right now are:

- Private Pyle's suicide in Full Metal Jacket
- Scene in Alpha Dog where one of the young laRAB get shot for nothing (I think! I've mentally blocked it out, it devastated me!)
- Will Smith's character commiting suicide in Seven PounRAB
- Acid bath scene in 88 minutes.
 
I've seen both, but saw the original a while ago (nearly ten years). As far as I remember, they're very much alike and I don't remember anything too different, just that one is in German and the other in English with different actors. Maybe someone else with a more recent viewing of both can step in, but I remember them as fairly similar.
