Has Any Violence Or Gore In A Film Ever Truly "Shocked" You?

The boys had a scene where a man shrinks himself tiny into another dudes dick. The guy accidentally grows big while inside and murders him into bits from the dick inside out.

Yep. That’ll forever live rent free in my head.

Honestly, the scenes in Doctor Strange 2 were a bit shocking. They aren’t the most graphic deaths I’ve ever seen, but I genuinely didn’t expect to see some of that in a Marvel movie.

I have a pretty low tolerance for graphic violence, and those just happened to cross that threshold for me, personally. There’s no way in hell that movie was rated og-13 legitimately; Disney had to have paid somebody off.
 
Movies dont really affect me that way normally but the scene in Saving Private Ryan where that one guy gets slowly knifed as the german is shushing him made me so angry, I dunno why it affected me so much.
It was intimate, slow, and focused on the knifee's emotion. That one got me, too.

Another intimate, slow, emotional death in the 2019 All Quiet on the Western Front put me in a funk for an entire day. They were just boys! And they sent em to die for nuthin'! :messenger_loudly_crying:

Yeah, I forgot what it was called but it ended up with a woman skinned alive.
I am not made for that type of shit.

That would be Martyrs (original of course), unflinchingly bleak and brutal but very well done to the point where it doesn't even really feel like torture porn. Actually had something to say I guess, buried amongst the dirt. Part of that "new French extremism" wave along with Haute Tension (Switchblade Romance), Inside etc.

I've seen a ton of awful shit and Martyrs really stuck with me.

I guess I'm just weak stomached but I can't even handle the Saw movies. It's not the visuals that do it to me, it's the thought of the pain and suffering.

This is more psychological disturbing but it's one of the most fucked up movies I seen in recent memory

A Serbian film was most shocking for me.watched it in 2010 when it came out.a friend put it on a memory stick for me and those scenes (newborn baby scene😵 Ifkyk) stayed with me for years..you can't unsee it.not recommend for peeps to watch it.its twisted as fuck....
 
Zodiac opening murder scene felt like I was watching a snuff film. God damn.

The actors made it seem authentic. Camera work was good too. More disturbing than anything in Se7ven in my opinion.

Stuff normally doesn't bother me but the one thing that made me wince is when the chickninnone of the saw movies got thrown into the bin of needles. Needles don't bother me, I have no problem giving blood, watching them poke me, but when I see other individuals get poked it makes me wince.

What time is it?
Most recently the Terrifier movies can be pretty uncomfortable. I don't know if I like them but I do appreciate practical effects.

In The Last King of Scotland when the show what happened to the dictator's wife... Never watching this movie again.
(Yes I know a lot of people would say the hooks scene but I already vomited before that)

Many “Whelps”! Handle It!
I've watched some movies from the 70's where dudes just straight up attack women, and it has always been a turn off. Hard to watch.

Elysium, Suicide Squad 2, and Guadians of the Galaxy 3. all 3 have very graphic and realistic scenes of a guys face blown off. 2 by the same director!

Elysium especially. it's close up, immediately in your face, and stays on scene.

people get desencitized to gore. it hurts the soul.

I saw both The Terminator and RoboCop at too young an age, and the scenes where

Murphy's hand is shot "does it hurt?!" And the Terminator is cutting away flesh on it's wrist and eye
absolutely made my blood run cold.

Already said but Hereditary was fucked up because of that scene. It’s not just the actual scene itself but the build up and aftermath.

I remember first time I saw it in cinema. They hint that she is allergic to nuts and I remember thinking how it was obviously setting something up and thought it was cheap/lazy writing. Well, I never expected it to go the way it did. The entire cinema went absolutely silent. Showing the brother dealing with what happened was intense and you could almost feel what he was feeling. My heart broke when I heard the mother screaming.

Midsommar also had some disturbing scenes. The person who had their lungs pulled out their chest and was hanging by them (if I remember right) and the dude who jumped off the cliff, not dying and seeing his leg snap, then getting his head smashed in with a hammer.

Elysium is by Neil blomkamp. James Gunn did the other one

Icheb in Picard.

Unexpectedly graphic for that kind of show. Can happen, but that was bloody messy. Thought it effective.

This movie got me too. Quickly immersed and the reactions from the actors to the horror scenes really kept me in.

For me it's anything done to people's nails. Like a needle being pushed under them or nails being pulled out 🤢
I have seen mutilations, I have been in surgeries where they amputate my legs, I was in brain surgery, and even my eyes.

Even that , I was in an autopsy of a deceased person where they frequently cut his stomach,...

But I don't tolerate nails. .. That does disgust me.

The fire extinguisher scene in Irreversible, by far.

The movie was famous for the rape scene and how shocking that was. Since i was expecting it to be bad, it didn't shock me.

But the fire extinguisher scene, it came out of nowhere. It also helped that it was so well made and realistic. Probably the most convincing gore scene i have ever seen.

This movie. It's one of my top 3 movies of all time, but I've only managed to watch it once due to the very graphic content.

Yeah I believe the director is the same one who did H, Old Boy, and No Sympathy for Mr. Vengeance. if you haven't watched no sympathy for Mr. Vengeance you should. I am assuming you have already watched Old Boy.

I have, yeah. Not the same director, though: Kim Jee-Woon also directed A Tale of Two Sisters and A Bittersweet Life.

I believe you're referring to Park Chan-wook.
