Ahh thanks. I know after I watched Old Boy and No Sympathy, I went looking for some of Park Chan-wook's other stuff. I really liked them.

It's the type of movies I love. Korean movies in recent years have been a let down in that weird department. Korean comedy movies, however, fucking hilarious.

I just love it, because I can see myself doing the same thing to the murderer, as sadistic as that sounds.
That's a understandable sentiment since I would do the same
But when it comes to that genre especially, I'm more picky

a lot of:
- alien and aliens, when i was a kid before, to the point haunted me in the night.
- jaws, to the point i'm afraid to dive more than 3 meters, but somehow it's not worsen by today, and i can dive more than that now, but in open ocean, it still bugs me
- B movie deep star six, just like above
- Jurassic park, it's better today, i'm not afraid anymore
- i forgot the name of the movie, i think it's descent or something, claustrophobic movie, its kind of haunt me when i enter natural cave : ))

Or the fist fight scene
ÆMNE22A!C
NO PAIN TRANCE CONTINUE
Can't remember anything else other than the hook/oil scene. Could look it up sometime.

The fight with the guy with face piercings he takes them out and bites someone punching him. The whole film was over the top and silly on purpose.

I assume someone has already posted about Bone Tomahawk?
Jesus, I thought I was watching a class Western with the missus and then holy shit did it take a detour into fucking darkness

Still doesn't ring a bell. Has been what? Short of 20 years or so I've seen it. I loved the gore and shit and remember liking the movie for what you mentioned above.
I recently binged Utopia on YouTube and there's a nasty torture scenes in it and above that one of the best serie I've seen in a very long time. It's free on YT high quality 10 hour. I highly recommend it.
If you just want to watch the above mentioned scene it starts at 47.30 min.

This film was probably my first foray into extreme cinema.
Needless to say, I was unprepared and left feeling discombobulated.

If you like disturbing movies/anime/comics, give Spookyrice's channel some attention. I found out about a lot of films I'll never be watching anytime soon:

Yeah, August Underground is pretty bad. It and Serbian Film definitely fall into the “shock jock” category. There are no real cinematic virtues to the films, it’s purely “how debased and disgusting can we possibly get.”
I wouldn’t recommend watching either of them, it makes the “torture porn” of stuff like Hostel look like Mr. Roger’s by comparison.

Oberyn's death.
I have only seen it once when it first aired and never again. It's just too gruesome for me.

The deaths and violence in Climax was unsettling. Especially if you've dealt with a "bad trip" with psychedelics, everything felt grounded and a little too real.
Beau is Afraids paint drinking scene, as insane and intentionally funny it was the tragedy that would randomly strike was nuts, especially that scene.
I saw Hereditary in IMAX and the remastered audio for the thud in the car scene made my heart stop.

That's ridiculous! It's WWE with eye-popping. Probably less comical if you knew the characters, but Deadwood sadly passed me by.

Only once. I was 9 years old and when my parents were out I put on Braveheart. It was the Battle of Stirling, and I thought it was the coolest fucking thing. But then at some point I started feeling sick to my stomach. I kept watching until I threw up.
I remember the exact moment which triggered the vomit. It was at the 1:30 mark where the dude comes from the right with a big hammer, and blood splatters on the camera lens. I still laugh about it.

When I was about 10 years old, I saw the movie Bats on TV and I was a little traumatized by a scene where several bats devoured a man's neck. I was overwhelmed and couldn't sleep at night, I covered my neck with my arms.
I lost my fear over time, but to this day I still have the habit of being protective of my neck, even when sleeping.

Most good effects involving hands or fingers get to me. Not really anything else though strangely.

First one is the tamest (but still above stuff like The Serbian Film or The Martyrs). But it's also the most realistic looking. Anyone could easily mistake it for being real footage.
Second one is the most "extreme". It's the one that only goes for the shock value without any restrain and it crosses the line where it becomes silly. It's also the worst looking one, i can barely tell what's happening.
Third is the cinematic one. It's very well shot and looks more like a "proper" movie, which makes it an easier watch. It also has the most impressive gore. It's the one that got under my skin the most as well. I appreciate the first movie but this one is my favorite of the three.

It left me in a bad mood because of how stupid it is.
There were four (that's 4) adults in that car. Supposedly the most rational ones. And nobody protested on this? They all agreed? After all they went through to save their lives?
The answer i usually get is that they were desperate and "you don't know how you would feel in that situation" etc. Which is very predictable. But again, FOUR people. At the very least one would say, nah, fuck it, i rather wait until the last second for something to happen. Heck, i would expect at least one to be afraid to kill themselves. It's not like everyone has the courage to do it. But they all just agreed and they all seemed to have the same emotional reaction to it. No panic, no fear, no second thoughts, no last second remorse, no nothing. Yeah, seems like a dead end, let's kill ourselves. What bullshit.
It's another movie that tries to convince you suicide is easy. Same with people sacrificing themselves, i see that in every other movie. Basically, characters in movies don't value their life much.
Oh and that wasn't the book ending. No surprise there.

That was the genius of the "extra" ending. Those folks were DONE. Totally spent, physically and emotionally. They thought the WORLD was gone. The things in it were horrible, violent, and killed in painful and gruesome ways. A bullet to the head was the ultimate mercy and Jane made the ultimate decision as a father. That he then lived knowing they were seconds away from safety (and the other family did survive) was the most horrible thing I can imagine as a father myself.

Ok but the other three didn't have to agree. Or at least one of them. Or one being scared to do it. Or one thinking hey, maybe i can run to the nearest car and maybe that will have some gas left.
Keep in mind they didn't know how far the mist was spread. They just assumed it took over the world? That's another stupid reason to end yourself. These characters weren't supposed to be stupid.
The only reason they ruined the characters in the movie to do this was for the "oh snap" moment at the end.
I don't see this as genius. It was actually very stupid.
It would be much more believable if the father was alone with the child. With nobody else to seek comfort.
I can see one person deciding to do this but not four at the same time.

The car had run out of fuel though, and everyone they'd seen walk into the mist was killed (or seemingly killed) almost instantly. So since you'd last seconds trying to make it on foot it may as well have taken over the whole world.

My wife couldn't make it past the opening scene, I still have to go back and watch the rest. She still brings the opening scene up to me, how fucked up it was.

There were 4 people in the car. I don't know why this gets ignored. It's statistically impossible they would all agree to kill themselves at that particular point in time. Even 2 out of 4 would be a reach IMO but 4 out of 4 is bullshit.
Most people would still wait it out as much as possible. They weren't dying from thirst or hunger yet, did they? The car wasn't slowly getting submerged into water or something, there wasn't a fire coming closer and closer to them. They had plenty of time. So why not wait as much as they could, in case something happens like, dunno, some other group of cars comes close by or the army reaches them and saves them (oh snap). You would do the same, i would to the same and most people here would too. You might disagree and say "i would kill myself" but that's only because Hollywood convinced you that you would. But you wouldn't. 90% people wouldn't at that point.
That ending was just Hollywood stupid and not realistic at all.

What was the book ending? I've read a lot of Stephen King but not that one.
nkarafo

I haven't read the book, i only saw the movie as well. And i was curious about it because the ending was so "lets shock the normies" stupid for me. I even remember thinking there's no way the book ends this way.
The original ending is more open ended where they continue to drive in the mist and it doesn't tell you if it took over the world or not. Which, i suppose, is not a good ending for a mainstream movie
