Most disturbing scenes in a movie.

In no particular order:-

1. Officer Murphy's murder in Robocop. The sheer brutality of that scene is unforgettable...the way those shotgun shells punch into his body coupled with the casual sadism of his killers. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YBuBBEVD_Ug

2. In the original Texas Chainsaw Massacre when Leatherface casually impales the screaming girl on a meathook. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-DaaQIIYx3Q

3. Scene in the Entity where Barbara Hershey's breasts are being squeezed by invisible fingers. Freaky!
 
i spit on your grave, when the womane cuts the mans penis off , made me sick :eek:

hellraiser 3, when all the people are locked in the nightclub and being slaughterd :rolleyes:
 
OMG yes, I can remember the entire cinema jumping out their (its?) seats :eek:

Another vote for the Exorcist here, it gave me nightmares for weeks.

The scene in the Shining where Jack N is having a drink at the bar, imagining he's talking to the bartender and he looks up and smiles into the camera :eek::eek:

Have to say though, the brain-eating scene in Hannibal just made me laugh, but then I do have a sick sense of humour :D
 
Two pages in and no-ones mentioned Japanese horror classic Audition. Crap ending, but who can forget the piano wire scene? That noise.....! Yeeeurcch!
 
I agree with what's been posted on here...especially Cannibal Holocaust. That movie is the sickest most goriest film ever. I couldn't pinpoint a particular part because the whole movie is just horrible.

Has anyone seen The Ruins?
The amputation scene. Ugh!
 
A particularly unwatchable slice of horror has to be the 1981 banned movie "The Animals Film". It's a documentary made by animal-lib folk who snuk into abbatoir's and laboratories and filmed what goes on. It's brutal to the point where it could seriously put you off meat for a while, if ever!
 
I didn't find Freaks disturbing either, quite enjoyed it especially watching the little fella suffer with his crush on the blond awwwww ((((((((((((little fella)))))))))))):o
 
There's a scene in Requiem for a dream that is really disturbing.
Also in Nil by Mouth where Kathy Bates gets really badly beaten up, I was nearly sick.
 
I have unfortunately seen Cannibal Holocaust, and most of that movie is full of every disturbing scene I have ever watched.

Oh and Eraserhead. When that thing opens up and its neck grows, when I saw it, I was about 15, not been able to watch it since. Thank you dad for suggesting I watch it.
 
Ok I don't know if anyone has said this yet, but for me it has to be:

Wolf Creek - "head on a stick" scene.

Had to watch through my fingers!
 
Without a doubt the worst ever mainstream film was 'Salo , or the 120 Days of Sodom' this is a brief idea from Wiki ''The story depicts the many days at the palace, during which the four men of power devise increasingly abhorrent tortures and humiliations for their own pleasure. A most infamous scene, shows a young woman forced to eat the feces of the Duke; later, the other victims are presented a giant meal of human feces. At story's end, the victims who chose to not collaborate with their fascist tormentors are gruesomely murdered: scalping, branding, tongue and eyes cut out; (see Franco Merli). The viewer is distanced from the grossest tortures, because they are viewed through binoculars. The story's final scene — two young, macho soldiers dancing a waltz, together — embodies Pasolini's vision of life and death: unflinching, dispassionate, yet, humane and (paradoxically) impassioned.'' The film was so gross it was banned for 20 years [and still is in many counties] , allegedly they used under age actors during the sex and violence scenes . The director was murdered before the film was released. More here ; http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Salò_o_le_120_giornate_di_Sodoma#Controversy
 
It still freaks me out what Tom Berenger does to Diane Keaton after she taunts him during sex....

Strobe lights, knife, maniac, oh my, I'm getting flashbacks!

I'm surprised I'm not mentally scarred after seeing that scene all those years ago on late night tv on BBC1 or BBC2!

It was repeated a few years ago but, my video recorder didn't tape it for some reason.

I don't even think you can get it on DVD these days.
