I'm not talking about horror flicks, exactly. I really don't care for monsters, etc. When I say "disturbing," I mean something that has to do with people, psychology, society, etc. A "how can someone do that?" type of disturbing.

What's the most disturbing scene, movie, or show you've ever seen?

Over winter break, I was watching some movies online and clicked "The Girl Next Door," thinking that it was going to be a stupid, mindless comedy. Apparently, I didn't pay attention to the year on imdb and ended up watching this really disturbing movie based on a guy who witnesses the girl next door being molested, raped, etc. There was this scene where the girl's aunt, after letting her son rape the poor girl (his cousin), decided to let the neighborhood kids tattoo obscenities all over the girl's body and burn/mutilate her sex organs.

It was... horrible.

^oh..my..gosh.

the curb scene in american history x-i seriously cannot watch that, it is so horrible.

Blow torch to the eye in "Hostel" was a little different.

The rape scene in Irréversible was pretty damn brutal.

The ear scene in Reservoir Dogs was cool, BUT I know that a lot of people find it disturbing, so I'll go ahead and list it. (I still think it's a cool scene though. I mean, come on, Michael Madsen singing along to “Stuck in the Middle With You" while cutting a guy's ear off? That's AWESOME).

Those are a couple of film based moments, I'm sure I can think of more eventually.

As far as tv goes, the only truly shocking thing I can think of is when Mike Tyson bit off part of Evander Holyfield's ear.

Urgh, I know it's only a 15 certificate, but the scene in Deep Rising where the army guys shoot open part of the sea monster's belly and half-digested men fall out. Still alive.

Oh man that gave me more nightmares than when I first saw the chestburster scene in Alien.

The redo in Spaceballs was even more disturbing. Hahahaha

around thanksgiving 2005 or 2006, on days of our lives, a character was brutally stabbed and place in a pinata. Then the kids hit it till she falls out. Drenched in blood.

The movie where Keira Knightly, who was 14/15 at the time, flashed the camera.

The scene in American History X is gross. But I think the shower scene is worse.

^yeah, the shower scene was pretty dusturbing too.


yessssssssssss. that scene was just, woah.


I also though the rape scene in the Hills Have Eyes was disturbing.
And the scene where the fat guy explodes in The Thing.

Agreed.

At the same time, I also couldn't feel my ear for the next week.

i love that movie!!! and that part was the most awesome part of the movie!

to me the most disturbing movie in general is Misery... Kathy Bates was a brutal psycho fan in that movie. The most disturbing scene in the movie is when she uses the sledgehammer. also in se7en when he delivers the wife's head and then finds out she was pregnant... that was kind of brutal to me.

The Blair Witch Project for its unflinching representation of hopelessness, desperation, and human weakness.
Salo or 120 Days of Sodom for its perversity in the psychical, mental, and sexual torture of children by the hands of the demented and fascist upper-class.
INLAND EMPIRE for its absurdity and sense of dread.
Crash (1996) for its seamless blending of sadomasochistic self-destruction and sexuality.
Blue Velvet for its Oedipus complex, its moral ambiguity, and its cemented cynicism.
Tetsuo the Iron Man for its mutilation and representation of the phallic human body.
Jesus Camp for its psycho religiosity.
The Corportation for its psycho capitalism.
The Thin Blue Line for its psycho law.

Just a few off the top of my head.

The first one that ever comes to mind is in one of those stupid ass SAW movies, this guy is on a contraction and if this other guy doesn't save him, then he gets his arms twisted until they brake, one by one.. arms..then his legs..and lastly his neck.

I had to walk away..gross. I freak out when people have their necks broken.

When I was about 10 or so, I saw a movie that was made back in the 70's I think, about the world coming to the end, and the antichrist and what not. I don't even remember what the movie was called. But it showed this one scene of all the people that didn't take the beasts mark on their hand or forehead. They were dressed in white gowns, and brought to the guillotine. And people were like screaming and saying like, "don't do it, just take the mark." And they showed their heads just getting chopped off, and removing the bodies and such. Then the main girl, was brought to the guillotine and was laying in the blood of her friend before her. And she said last minute, "ok, ok i'll take the mark". I guess out of nowhere an earthquake hit. And everyone ran away and stuff, except her, still stuck to the table, watching the blade shift above her. And she's freaking out and screaming or help, and is saying she'll take the mark. And then the thing chops off her head.

I looked at my brother who was about 8 at the time, and said, "Um. can we change the channel?"

The part in Rob Zombie's Halloween, when young Michael is beating the crap out of the kid from Spy Kids. Dang.

Eh, each moment of John Carpenter's original Halloween was a million times more disturbing (because of the suffocating atmosphere) in comparison to anything in Rob Zombie's remake (which felt like an action film).

The scene in "Boys Don't Cry" where the two guys cornered and pulled down Hilary Swank's pants to reveal that she was a girl and not a boy. Followed by the beating and rape, it was really hard to watch.

The Rape Scenes in The Hills have eyes 2 ...

American History X,curb stomp scene

oh and the chainsaw scene from scarface

Stir of Echoes. The part where they find the body. Saw it when I was younger, scarred me for life.

In Steven kings newest movie, The Mist at the end was pretty disturbing. IMO
Where he kills his friends and family because they probably will not survive just to find out that minutes later the military was going around saving people.
I don't know why, but that was really just ughh to me.

that was sick.

Basically the entire movie The Piano Teacher, especially the "rape" scene. Also the castration scene in Hard Candy.

ew the beginning of the very first and original Texas Chainsaw Massacre, when the man in the van starts cutting himself and eating it? and smears his blood on the van.

I thought I already responded here.

The scene from that one old horror movie (I don't remember the name) where a guy got his dick tied to a trailer hitch and his arms and legs tied to another truck.

Rip.

Wth. That's intense ..

In Home Alone 2, where Kevin rigs a car battery up to a door knob and electrifies the robber, yeah thats some seriously messed up shit right there.

your signature SERIOUSLY DISTURBS ME

I KNOW! Right before that happened, I so called it to all of my friends.
The worst was the old lady, I loved how she kicked ass.

One that comes to mind in Mr. Brooks right at the end.
Where he comes into her room to kiss her goodnight, then she just goes instinct on him and stabs him through his throat and he just flaps his mouth there like a fish out of water.

My dad and I were both watching that and we both jumped.

Mee To.

Anyway.. I think the Scene in Saw 4 where the guy has to gouge his eyes out to survive is nasty. In fact.. all of the saws are nasty. (I got forced to watch it!)

And also, the psycho shower scene.. bleh!

I'm not a fan of horror movies, but one scene that is disturbing plus gross is one where this guy is being tortured- his intestines are hung on this rod thing, and it's slowly being cranked so that his intestines slowly come out It was just something I caught on tv once, don't know what movie it's from.

That part in Zodiac where the killer ties the teenage couple up(lake scene) and starts stabbing them. It showed everyone and I was watching it on a big movie theater screen. I mean it's not horrible but I'd rather not watch that scene.

Gahh The Girl Next Door IS disturbing.
Especially the part when they blow torched her sex organs.

Various scenes from The Butterfly Effect also. *shivers

omg! yeaaaa, the girl next door

there were some pretty disturbing ass scenes in the movie strangeland

Dawn of the Dead (the old version) where a zombie reaches into a guy's gut and pulls out his intestines.

I just couldn't enjoy Dawn of the Dead as a horror/gory movie, but as a comedy.

But The Girl Next Door is probably one of the most disturbing movies I've watched, if not the most.

The way the first chick died in Hostel 2, and the castration scene.

The ending to The Mist was so messed up.

It actually made me sad, instead of scarring me.

saw III is pretty damn disturbing, i have yet to see the one after that

^ Oh jeeeesh the saw series.

I've actually kinda gotten used to the intolerable pain featured in the movies...it's the mental scare that gets me now.

i felt sorry for that dude.. sigh* no more balls lmao

hahaa this topic reminds me of this clip from The Soup

^haha, wtf?!



I thought the creepiest part of that movie was when Gyllenhaal (if i remember correctly) walks into that guys house and the guys locks the door. I was like...uhh...

In Henry: Portrait of a Serial Killer there is a scene in which Henry and Otis rape a woman in front of her husband, then proceed to kill the entire family, all while videotaping it so they can watch it later.

The craziest part? That totally happened in real life.

I actually thought it was pretty weak. The mother ("auntie Ruth") was definitely the most disturbing aspect of the film (just her character alone), but... the torture scenes were actually quite tamed (I thought).

Check out Salo or 120 Days of Sodom.

i just finished watching funny games (the re-make, not the '97 version) and i kind of thought the entire movie was disturbing. especially the few times when he looked directly at the camera.

I've never seen the remake (which Haneke directed scene for scene, line for line), but the original is very good and very effecting. Essentially, the whole idea behind the film is that the audience has no reason to watch it (and the actors keep reminding us of such). When the home invaders invite us to venture a guess as to who will live and who will die... etc. etc. It's Haneke commenting on our obsession with violence and pain. How we revel in it, and enjoy it, as much as we swear we hate it. It's a very interesting and layered piece... very worthwhile.

OMG I JUST SAW THIS MOVIE, its crazy . about a couple of weeks ago !

me and my friend rented it from a dvd vendor at my local grocery store. this movie was insane, i wanted to kill everybody, it angered me so much. wow this movie was really really crazy !!!!
