As the title said, what movie has the most disturbing and gory scenes of all time?
I might go with Saving Private Ryan I have to say, because the first scene at Omaha Beach was freakin nuts. Heads getting blown off, people dieing in masses, it freaked me out a lot.
In the horror movie section I'd have to say that Hostel that some really crazy stuff as well.
Btw: Saw 3 sucks.

Ugh, you lose.
Saving private ryan? lolol.
Try Irreverisble. It's not a horror film, but a drama. But, it's one of the most relentless films I've ever seen. Have fun!
Horror film, I dunno. I'm not really touched by gore anymore, but I'm looking forward to seeing Cannibal Holocaust - which I couldn't decide between that and a set of Troma releases the other nite....I chose Troma. :)

Argh, c'mon dude, you tell me at least that first scene of s.p.ryan didn't scare you?
And yeah, I'll try Irreverisble, thx.
Another thing, I'm usually not really scared by gore or freaked out, just wanted to bring that up. I'm usually more scared by psychological scare and movies that flow as a huge scary deal without any really bloody scenes. Something like Shining.

and yea - good luck on Irreversible. It still twists my stomach up when I see it.
edit - SPR wasn't scary, and if memory serves right, it wasn't too bad either. I'll prolly rent it, or it'll be on tv uncut for veterans day - i'll watch it then. good movie, if memory serves right again, just not one that most think of when they say 'gore flicks'

damn, I'm gonna haave to watch this!
The first 30 minutes of Irreverisble has a background noise with a frequency of 28Hz (low frequency, almost inaudible), similar to the noise produced by an earthquake. In humans, it causes nausea, sickness and vertigo. It was the main cause of people walking out of the theaters during the first part of the film in places like Cannes and San Sebastian. In fact, it was added with the purpose of getting this reaction.
Wasn't Dead Alive supposed to be really gory? I haven't seen it though
The Guinea Pig series. Absolutely gruesome

the scene in city of god where that kid has to choose which friend gets shot made me wince.
Here's some more info on the Guinea Pig series for anyone who wants to find out more:
• They are all Japanese and from what I remember don't have subtitles
• The first 2 were believed to be snuff films, the first of which shows a group of men performing some extreme experiments on a woman, the second shows one man cutting up a woman, who he drugged so that she likes the pain.
• Another film based on manga I think about a man who cuts himself up and plays with his body parts
• There are 3 other completely fictional movies, arguably not as good as the other 3, including one about a man who finds a mermaid and uses her pus and blood to paint, a transvestite doctor who cuts up her victims, and a man whose sister is sick so he performs experiments on unwilling bodies for a cure
• There's a best of DVD which just features the best bits from all the films. If plain old-fashioned gore is what you want I suggest getting this along with the first 2 (The Devil's Experiment is just an evil film).

Man Behind the Sun.
Man Behind the Sun (also called Black Sun 731 and Men Behind the Sun; Chinese title: 黑太阳 731, Pinyin: hēi tài yáng 731) is a 1987 Chinese film directed by Mou Tun Fei, about Unit 731, the secret military medical unit of the Imperial Japanese Army during the Second World War.
The film details the various cruel medical experiments Japan's Unit 731 inflicted upon the Chinese & Russian prisoners of war taken in the Sino-Japanese war and Chinese civilian population at the tail-end of World War II. The experiments were done to further Japan's bacteriological weapons, which they thought be the only way to defeat the allied armies. It was based in a remote region in north-east China, a puppet-state known as Manchukuo. The film itself contains little in the way of expository dialogue; what little information offered is in the form of narration.
The film is extremely controversial for its use of actual autopsy footage of a young boy and also for a scene in which a cat is thrown into a room to be eaten alive by thousands upon thousands of starved rats. There is some question as to the legality of the film, since there are laws against animal cruelty in many countries, including China. Some critics have suggested [citation needed] that the cruelty of the cat being eaten alive by starved rats is an analogy of psyche of the Imperial Army, that the Chinese are the rats (numerous and cowed) and the Japanese are the cat (predatory and authoratative) and implies that a benign population can rise up and defeat even the fiercest enemy.
It later surfaced that once the Americans found out about the research that they arranged a deal with Unit 731 whereby they became immune from prosecution in exchange for their data and findings so that they could have the upper hand against the Soviets in germ warfare. [1]
Some contend [citation needed] that the violent treatment of the subject matter degrades any strong message the film might have conveyed, that the events in the film are based on historical evidence that in a more thorough work would have been examined critically, and that the work is little more than repulsive cinematic exploitation.

In Man Behind The Sun there was a scene with a guy put into some kind of pressure chamber. They turned it on and he died but kept inflating to the point where his intenstines came rocketing out of his butt. Another scene depicts prisoner's hands being frozen and then chipped away at with hammers. All the while the film has this dark noir style to it. If you watch it at night in a dark room you'll get wierd vibes.

I disagree with you on Irreversible, although I can admit the rape scene went on too long - but it wouldn't have made sense to shorten it. It's the integral cause for the revenge. And also, the scene were he got his head bashed in, it made me want to vomit. Not because it was so violent/graphic whatever (which it is - with each hit, his head becomes more and more deformed/dented and then it splits into two. :( ) but because it was so visceral. These guys are animals -which is a phrase repeated through the film itself. They want the blood of the man responsible.
And yet - to me, the most disturbing part of this film is the very end, when the woman finds out she is pregnant. The tone becomes so happy and unsettling, forgetting the hell that you've just seen...
One of the most interesting films I've ever seen.

Ichi the Killer is a freakin' hilarious film.
It's more of a taboo film. The whole implied homoerotic S&M relationship between the boss and Kakihara, Kakihara's taste for inflicting pain unto others and enjoying it, Ichi's masturbating while watching a hooker getting beatin an raped by some guy.

I think with those old slasher flicks it's more about the shock and mentality of it than anything else. Newer movies will seem superior because there's a wider range of available special effects to play with, but you've gotta remember they were doing the best they could with what they had to work with on those oldies.

11-06-2006, 03:24 AM
True that.
I'm not really a fan of the genre as such, the newer movies haven't really done it for me either i hate overuse of special effects. You can only kill so many people on screen before it gets boring, and each new film coming up seems to tally up the body count higher and higher with no real innovation.
Stuff thats pure exploitation like Guineapig would probably get more of a reaction out of me.

Film critics are there primarily to locate flaws and play devil's advocate, when most people watch films they aren't paid to look at the technical aspects in the same way.
When some films have no real technical merit going for them they get critically panned. It doesn't mean the film is not enjoyable, far from it. Most critically regarded films deserve the rating i feel.

Saḷ o le 120 giornate di Sodoma deffinatly.
Especially the ending.
The whole film is pretty degrading and contains lots of nudity but the ending it by far the worst;
scalping, beating etc, plus the way it's filmed through binoculars.

But the critics should be writing for the average joes going to see the film basing it on enjoyment, not mr middle aged geek virgin who looks at the technical aspect.

Some do. I think that it's best to ignore what critics say altogether.
Some are good, some are stupid.
