Wow, it's interesting that you pick out the nipple slice; that wasn't so much of a problem for me - I mean presumably, it could 'heal' after a fashion - but the eyeball slice well, there's no going back from that is there!
There's some apocrypha around the exact 'uncut' status of TNYR concering even more extreme footage, thanks to Japanese cover art in which stills depict 'more' than is seen in the actual scenes they are seemingly from. Probably similar to The House By The Cemetary, in which certain death sequences were even more brutally extended, but dropped by Fulci pre-release as he finally felt the SFX weren't good enough.

I was literally shaking after watching this, it was terifying and so real.
There's another couple of violent scenes which really disturbed me, one is in What's love got to do with it where Ike assaults Tina, and in Once were warriors, there are some savage scenes where he beats up his wife. I have no stomach for violence and these three scenes still make me wince when I think about them.
In recent times there's a scene in The Last King of Scotland, where he avenges his cheating wife, in a barbaric way, I nearly threwup watching it, and the stoning scene in the Kite Runner I couldn't watch.

You will like the I Spit On Your Grave remake then 
Interesting thread this I have seen a lot of these films however there are also a lot of films I want to look up now.
For me a film called Festen really got to me not so much one scene but the entire film. It was part of the Dogme 95 film movement because of the rules of this movement it was made to look so realistic you feel as if you are there which makes the film even more uncomfortable. I found it so devastating I could never watch it again even though it is a well made film.

The burying alive scene at the end of casino always give me a chill.
When I was a kid a scene in The Omen freaked me out it was where the priest got his head sliced of by a pane of glass. The second time was from one of the Omen films as well but can't remember which one again involving a priest I think Patrick Troughton getting a spike off a church roof through his head and torso.
I may have got the wrong film but are definatly from the Omen trilogy.

Ooh, Ladybird Ladybird. Fantastic film, I'm a big Ken Loach fan. I thought the scene where Ray's character beat Maggie across the face with a milk carton in front of her children was worse. Wonderful film, so bleak. The court scene where the judge ruled that Maggie and Jorge would be granted no access to either of their babies was nasty as well. Crissy Rock's a phenomenally good actress.
Not many things disturb me, I've sat through some very explicit gore and simulated rapes and been fairly unaffected but for some reason the scene where the dead baby was discovered in Trainspotting really got to me.

Im not generally squemish when it comes to things like scream or halloween where people are just killed maybe as generally they arent that graphic buts when rape (especially violent rape) is depicted i do find it hard not to be violently sick
I have just seen Mysterious Skin (pure curiousity to see the boy from thunderbirRAB in something else) and i was disturbed pretty much all the way through. Most of all the rape of the other boy towarRAB the end, 15 minuites and im still feeling a little sick

Me too, but it's the savage beating rather than the burial that gets to me.
I've watched this now, and, as expected, it was not anywhere as horrific as your mind expects it to be... Don't get me wrong, it's seriously extreme, but the more people talk/write about the subject matter, and the more you read, the less the effect.
Having said that though, I seriously doubt this will get a mainstream release in it's current form. The newborn aside, the brutalisation of women depicted in this film is too explicit for the BBFC, even if it tries to apply contextual allegory; sexual pornography and the pornography of war; Serbia's violent past played out as entertainment - the atrocities in the film were all detailed realities in the Bosnia-Serbia conflict of the 90's.
And I find the idea of Milosh not being privy to the script also acts as a metaphor for how soldiers during that time were co-opted into performing this violence blindly, and also seemingly willingly.
Right... time to watch "Up", I think... and have a shower...

Ringu. . When Sadako crawls out of the television set at the end of the film.
I've always found The Exorcist to be far more disturbing than scary. The best Linda Blair scenes with the crucifix are just nasty as opposed to being shocking or scary.

Gore and OTT "cinema" violence doesn't really bother me, the only thing I cannot cope with is graphic torture scenes, I just feel upset and nauseated by it. The best examples I can give are the guy having his ear cut off in Resevoir Dogs and the guy with his head in the vice in Casino.
Another scene that stayed with me for a long time was in Nil By Mouth when Ray Winstone's character kicks the living daylights out of Kathy Burke, screaming obscenities allthe while. I cried myself to sleep with the knowledge that that kind of stuff goes on everyday of the week for some unfortunate people.
