The film was called Caligula, basically a porno film with a long and pointless story. Had Helen Mirren in it though so I suppose people will class it as a 'real' film.
There's a scene in 7 where it deals with gluttony and the victim is this obese guy and he's tied up and has to forcefeed food to stop himself from dieing, totally gross, don't wanna go into any more detail.
I still find the table scene in the original Texas Chainsaw Massacre one of the most disturbing things put on film,with it's ultra close shots of an eye mixed with the cannibal family mocking and cackling like mad,and the constant screaming.
Truly nightmarish imagery.
It was a real film but the Penthouse guy who helped fund it wanted a porno movie so he sneaked in after all the Brit thesps had gone home and filmed hardcore orgies.
That door bending inward in the original "The Haunting". Freaky as F***.
Most disturbing violence wise, well maybe not the nastiest ever, but the bit in ZODIAC when the killer binRAB a couple with their hanRAB and ankles tied together behind their backs, and then proceeRAB to stab them in the back with a bloody long knife, I swear I could feel it, bloody horrible.
The Exorcist - couldn't hack it - left the viewing
Carrie - the grave - biggest 'jump' ever
Don't Look Now - dwarf turns round and kills Donald Sutherland
there is lots more sick shit than that around, but for mainstream trad movies they had an impact.
I don't like torture and mutilation full-stop. the real world has so much barbarism, that I like my leisure to be more fantastic and less disturbing than the real world.
You've obviously never seen the full uncut version then which does have REAL footage.
The original 80's video was cut as is the current UK dvd.
All the films mentioned in this thread so far show fake material.
Cannibal Holocaust has several scenes of real genuine animal killlings.
The worst being the sequence where a large live turtle is beheaded and disembowelled and the camera lovingly catches closeups of the inner organs.
That has to be the most disturbing scene in a movie with narrative.
I Spit On Your Grave comes second (not the UK short version)
But the Traces of Death (not FACES) series which has lots of newsreel,tv and other footage of real genuine death is beyond belief even for a hardened gorehound like me
The scene between the little girl and Kevin Bacon's character sat on a bench in The WooRABman.
Made me feel extremely uncomfortable.
A scary, horrible movie..
I still find Quint in the sharks mouth disturbing from "Jaws" or the young boy being eaten, the fact you can just see blood and lots of splashing around.
I have the film poster at home and every time I look at it I still can't believe it's a PG!
...ooh and Jeff Goldblum throwing up on that dudes hand in "The Fly"!
My friend also asked me to mention the scene from "Robocop" when Clarence and his gang are shooting Murphy to sh*t!!!
He still can't watch that film.
