What is the worst thing you've ever seen? Either on TV, in a movie, or even on the web? It can be horrible for being graphically violent or just plain gross.

Please remember to keep in mind the appropriateness of your response. If you want to describe, do it as unoffensively as you can.

For me it was the beheading of the American guy by some militant group, which I saw on the web. Messed me up for weeks.
 
Only saw it for the first time last week. It has to be the "bite the kerb" scene in American history x. I've heard about it from many people, but couldn't really visualise it. Very sad and powerful imo, I mean I could even here the sound of the poor guy's teeth grating against the concrete. Trully disgusting

I think what makes these scenes so horrifying is the sense of realism. Both these examples either actually happened or can reasonably be seen as having happened. I'm much more disturbed by that American History X scene than, say, when he goes nuts with the lawn mower in Dead Alive.
 
Those horrible shots in The Ring. Absolutely disturbing beyond anything.

And any realistic beating of a defensless human.
 
I saw in the "picture post mortem" section of Bizzare mag, the face of a suicide bomber on the tarmac. Nothing but his face with some dumbass expresion. It would put anyone off doing such a thing.
 
I don't watch many movies but the scariest thing I've seen was The Excorist - The Beginning preview. Hell if I ever go watch that movie. :scared:
 
Might be Ghost ship at least at the moment... the beginning part at the party. I know I've posted this somewhere else for a thread like this.

I've only seen the US version. I bet the Japanese one is more realistic, which probably makes it worse.

Only ever saw the Japanese version, wasn't scary but creepy instead.

Yeah, it was in the Rumble Strip about 4 or 5 months ago. I remember, because my answer was, and still is, Courtney Love on Letterman.

That openning scene of Ghost Ship was awesome! 👍
I thought The Ring was boring and stupid. But, there is a new similar movie coming out soon, or already is out, and it looks pretty creepy.
 
I've seen a video on the computer of someone I used to know of someone being beheaded with a knife whilst they're pinned to the floor (not the American guy in Iraq). It wasn't pleasent, but the sounds made it worse.

I don't really like surgery, real or fictional, on TV.
 
I'm not really distrubed by things like this but one movie I thought was needlessly violent was the Passion of the Christ. Some of those scenes were sorta sick.
 
Several different scenes from Eraserhead....truly hard to stomach.

Quite disturbing, although I shouldn't have expected anything less from David Lynch.
 
I was at an Urban Myth site, and one was about a guy who skinned his face himself dor some reason. It was true. They had the news story. And pic. :sick:
 
True, ghost ship opening was horrible (the movie in itself too, but anyways) there are similar scenes in The Cube, with only one person though.

For me, it's the scene in Casino where they beat Nicky and his brother with baseball bats, then bury them alive. Definetely not in the "entertaining violence" category...

Oddly, a recent scene I saw that made me feel very bad is the stabbing scene in the Village. Even without big sound effects or being really graphic or brutal, for some reason, it really worked out.

Really?! The theatre I saw that movie in all laughed when he stabbed Joaquin. I personally thought The Village was Shyamalan's worst movie ever. Ot was total and utter crap. No exaggeration, people were booing and hissing as the credits rolled.

I think I saw that. They had the guy's head pinned to the ground with someone's boot and they just jammed the knife into his throat...I don't know what happened next because I shut it off.

The movie was nothing compared to the sixth sense, but I think people booing and hissing were just expecting another dawn of the dead.
 
Notwithstanding the fact that this thread is a duplicate of an earlier one in the Strip, AND the whole Twin Towers thing, I saw a Congolese rebel in the Seventies captured by the opposition. The BBC reporter bargained for his life - but the guy didnt believe they'd spare him and was begging the reporter not to go. Two seconds later - while the guy was still begging - the opposition pulled a pistol and shot him in the head. The silence was almost as bad as seeing a guy pleading for his life being shot in the head live on TV.

(note I didn't actually see it live - it was on one of those compilation shows. Quite why they chose to screen it again is beyond me).


And "Unbreakable" sucked donkey's winnets.

I'll open another thread so we can talk about this and hear what others have to say without getting off-topic in this thread...
 
One movie I saw tha completely freaked me was "8MM" with Nicolas Cage...nasty, and the part from "Night Of the Living Dead" where the Zombie daughter bits the mothers neck, for some reason, freaked me out too....

People used to get curbed all the time when I lived in Columbus. Most of the people who had it happen to them were in gangs, and the people who did it were in other gangs. Seeing it in a movie is nothing compared to actually seeing it, and alot of other things you see on the inside of gang culture.

Anyway, the most disturbing scene in a movie or TV show has to be the part in State Property after the ABM crew rushes the basketball court and kills all of Butter and his people. They show a fairly long shot of one of them, and the brains and blood splattered all over the pavement look disturbingly real.
