What's the most horrific death scene you've ever seen in a movie?
To me it was the teen being killed in the office in the blob remake.
This scene from EVIL DEAD (part 1) is gruesome.

But the scariest-I think-was in HENRY-PORTRAIT OF A SERIAL KILLER.When Henry and Otis kill the family-and tape it to rewatch at home. f**ked.
The jerkoff soldier who gets pulled apart in Day Of The Dead. He yells, "Choke on 'em!" as they pull off his legs/lower body.

Oh yeah-thats quite gruesome! That whole movie is quite gruesome! But a dam good film! Romero has a good way with gore-theres actually a story behind his slaughter-unlike many films nowadays-(ie SAW series,HOSTEL etc....) which are made as an excuse for torture scenes.

Actually, I was pretty disappointed with that film. I thought it should have been much better given the premise: "humanizing" zombies! But yeah, some good classic gore scenes. Romero didn't get nearly as good acting out of his no-name stars this time, as he usually did.

I dunno-I really liked Frankenstein. He was great! "Hey Bub!" :bouncegiggle:
ASSAULT ON PRECIENT 13-one of the most horrendous murders Ive ever seen .

I knew which scene you were talking about before I even looked at the clip. :)
Violence to kids makes me think of..

Oh my Gawd. THATS JUST WRONG! :buggedout:
I have heard about that scene-never seen it. Im scarred for life. YIKES!!!!
OK. Thats the most f*cked up Iv'e ever seen! AH! :buggedout:
Andy Warhol made some f*cked up s**t-his Frankenstein and Dracula movies were pretty twisted too.
Don't know if you've seen TRUTH OR DARE: A CRITICAL MADNESS but there's a scene where a mom pushes her baby in a carriage, which is struck by the psycho. IIRC he runs over the mom too, and spins his tires in her back, sending blood everywhere!
I have seen TRUTH OR DARE-but that movie is so over the top-I cant take it seriously. Like The same directors KILLING SPREE-which is insanley messy-but so much fun. TRUTH OR DARE is just so ridicuolusy violent that it turns into a Tex Avery cartoon! And I think that was done on purpose. I like Tim Ritter's home made psycho movies!
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p3c1RNzs5RU
I agree on how campy it is.. and the crowning turd is probably the song "A Critical Madness", played over the ending credits!
Bcto gruesome deaths-
.The head drilling scene in Fulci's GATES OF HELL is bugged.
.Micheal biting off his mommas boob and eating her-UH! In BURIAL GROUND.
.Ernest Borgnine killed by rats in WILLARD.No-It's not real gory-but it creeps me out. Rats!
.The cockroach takeover of EG Marshell in CREEPSHOW! Cockroaches! GAH!
.and just for the hell of it-
Enjoy! Benny Hill meets Dracula! :smile:

I have to say those kill scenes of crew members in Cannibal Holocaust make me sick badly

Iagree. Very gruesome. Italian cannibal films got a knack for horrendous murder. Gory. Not a date movie. Unless your date is IIlsa.
The sheriff's death in the remake of I SPIT ON YOUR GRAVE made me cringe!
One woman in Feast has a nasty death.
But after what the monsters did to her mouth, death was probably a relief...
:bluesad:
The scene in Lucio Fulci's Zombie 2 aka Zombie where the girl gets her throat ripped out by the cemetery zombie on the movie poster. That, and the eye-piercing scene in Zombie. I don't know which one hurts to look at more!
The end of the Creepshow, where they guy is killed by the cockroaches.
A couple from the otherwise pretty bad movie NEW YORK RIPPER: 1) a girl gets gutted in a car at Staten Island, and the camera lovingly shows her innards spilling out. 2) A hooker gets her eyeball and nipple sliced in closeup by a razor blade.

I've watched that video numerous times. It still makes me laugh! A peppy little flute soundtrack over gory deaths! And the killer bigfoot has glaucoma/cataract/wears 3d glasses with a hole in the red lens. Good choice! :thumbup:

Funny thing is: the perky jazz flute music is actually the main title theme to this movie!
The death of Murphy in Robocop is ridiculously violent.

Totally agreed. I saw the cut theatrical version in the cinema when I was about 13, thank goodness, but it wasn't until much later that I saw the uncut scene. That was brutal.
The fire extinguisher scene in Irreversible freaked me out. And there is a depressing Italian movie where a turtle gets smashed by a fire extinguisher, in close up, from the viewpoint of the descending fire extinguisher. That whole movie was ***ked up, no wonder I can't remember the title. Better go watch something pleasant now.
SPOILERS
Richard Jaeckel in Sometimes A Great Notion ~ drowned under logs. :buggedout:
Al Pacino in The Recruit ~ death-by-cop.
Hardy Kruger in The Wild Geese ~ shot dead.
Richard Widmark in Murder On The Orient Express ~ stabbed numerous times but his character deserved it. :thumbup:
John Lone in Year of The Dragon ~ suicide with a policeman's pistol. :buggedout:
In The Exterminator, the mafia guy gets fed feet first into an industrial meat grinder.
In The Fly 2, the face melting scene
Scanners: Michael Ironside blows up a dude's head with his mind. Shocked many audiences back in 1981!
Ben in Night of the Living Dead and Roger in Dawn of the Dead
The curbstomp in American History X
Even though it wasn't shown, the "lust" murder in Se7en was pretty horrifying.
Not a horror movie, but there's a character in Playing by Heart who has a lingering death (from AIDS) and I find it horrific - my mom has bone cancer and even being reminded in a movie of someone having to waste away in pain like that really gets under my skin these days.
While it's not a movie I'd say the death of Dexter's mother in the TV show "Dexter". Could you imagine being a little boy watching your mother being torn apart by a chainsaw, and lying in a pool of her blood, crying? The scene got even freakier when the Ice Truck Killer fills an entire room with blood making Dexter have flashbacks while falling face first into a pool of blood.

That doesn't bother me at all.
In fact, I laughed.
Its in such bad taste thats its kinda funny and rediculous to me.
I think horrific death scenes are very, very subjective. Some people are affected by scenes that are particularly violent. Personally, I get disturbed and affected by any death scene that was done in a way where I can imagine the death and it creeps me out. Many times it's due to the believability of the actor more than any effects.
Examples that horrified me:
The razor blade kills at the barber shop and at the cemetary in Eastern Promises
The shotgun kill in Training Day where Scott Glenn gets blasted in the chest and labors at breathing due to multiple lung punctures until he expires
When the medic dies from what appears to be grenade shrapnel in Saving Private Ryan. That scene really got to me with the gushing blood from multiple wounds, the request for morphine to ease the passing, and the excruciating performance from Giovanni Ribisi, an underrated actor in my opinion
Again from Saving Private Ryan, when Adam Goldberg's character gets killed by the German soldier they let go earlier in the film. The struggle, the "stop it, stop it" as the bayonet blade comes closer and closer to his chest, the slow entry of the blade into his chest, and the soft words of "who-knows-what" spoken in German by the soldier doing the killing. That scene really disturbed me. I could actually visualize the knife entering the heart. Gives me shudders thinking about it

Thats the worst.
Youi could easily imagine it. It just makes the skin crawl that someone would do such a thing.
I think Flick James is right about the subjectivity factor.
The scene I cannot shake is from a TV series. I'm pretty sure the person ended up dead but maybe not immediately. It was an early episode of MI5; when the female operative had her face/head plunged into the fryer vat full of hot cooking oil. Haunts me more than any other. I could never watch the show after that one. Just remembering it now gives me a bad feeling.

Thats called 'Spooks' in the UK and I remember that scene.
The show is famous for the sudden unpleasent deaths that the main characters get. :bluesad:

Oh, man. I'll agree with that one big time. That made me absolutely cringe when I originally saw it and I couldn't shake the image from my mind for several days.
The death of Tracy Bond in On Her Majesty's Secret Service shook me: so unexpected.
Jill Kirkland's suicide in Katrina ~ yowza :bluesad:
Sean Connery's death in The Untouchables
The death scenes that occur offscreen are IMO more troubling: the result is worse than the actual act. The Crimson Rivers has several of these where the mutilated corpses of two victims are found ~ they deserved it though ~ and the evil Doctor is crucified, disarmed and de-eyed by the killer. :buggedout: :buggedout:
Ugh.. how about several at once! Ghost Ship starts off the movie with a bang as a cruise ship has some sort of dance ball going on. A wire comes loose off of a spool and whips right through all the passengers, save for a little girl. Everybody slowly starts "coming apart". Nasty!

I think the thing that gets me is that there is a phone conversation and you are not really getting the other half. I can just imagine the urging from the other point of view.
What the Hell happened to this Barrack Clinton guy?
Nothing, but thanks for asking.
Glad you're still around, BC, even if we don't agree on some things.

Werd...that part also bothered me greatly. Goldberg's character is begging for his buddy to help him, as his buddy is cowering in fear in the corner, afraid to react to save his friend.
It was as if the German soldier was actually believing that he was doing Goldberg's character a favor as he somewhat tenderly overpowered him and tried to comfort him as he killed him, then walking down the steps past the other guy and patting him on the shoulder as he wiped of his knife. That was
very disturbing.
Amanda Peet's character's death in The X Files I Want To Believe upset me plenty.
Face melting in general can be unpleasant but the face melting at the end of Raiders of the Lost Ark really freaked me out. It was my first face melting and it was completely unexpected.
