The Body Snatcher (1945) - Boris Karloff movie.  A guy dies, and his little dog stays at his grave.  Then the grave robber comes and whacks the little dog with a shovel.  They don't actually show it of course, but it's guaranteed to make me change the channel every time that movie is on.

Ooh, I LOVE that scene!  Very creepy and unexpected and establishes Karloff's character perfectly!

But...but...don't you care about the poor little doggy?

I didn't see, but I don't need to see.  How about the scene in Teeth where... you know bites off you know what.

Well, at least that is what the movie's about, so it's necessary and expected. I just choose to avoid the movie altogether.

Ugh, one of the worst things in a film that I could have gone without seeing was a scene in a low-budget film called Faces of Death. In one town somewhere not in America, monkeys are eaten alive and are like a delicacy. In the movie, the monkey is placed in a cage beneath a table. The guests at this particular restaurant actually pelted the monkey with little hammers and ate its brain...I really  could have gone without seeing that. And yes, the monkey was really "harmed" in the making of this film.  :hatred:

I'm glad I've avoided that movie. I've been hearing about that scene for years, and I don't think I'd handle it very well. Even when it's not real, I can't stand to see kids or animals mistreated.

One movie in the same genre I did make the mistake of renting, back in the golden age of independent video stores, was Shocking Asia. I could have done without seeing the sex change. Mind you, I didn't see all of it, as I was peeking between my fingers during the entire scene. I'd seen a fair bit of the horror genre by that time (I was about 19 or 20), and I thought slasher flicks were more fun than scary, but some guy getting his shlong turned inside-out was more than I could bear to watch.

The worst part is the monkey is totally freaking out, as if it fully realizes what is going to be done to it.  The people that just smack the little thing over the head with their hammers is utterly repulsive.  I would happily do the same to them.

I last saw that monkey scene when I was 13 years old back in 1987 and can still picture it in my head. (I only saw it that one time)
Yeah, you're better off not seeing it.  It's quite disturbing.

The toilet scene in Trainspotting as well as the crap in the sheet scene while the family is having breakfast.

The ending of Eden Lake. I dont know if its because im a woman that it bothered me so much but I just felt ill after seeing it.

Martyrs. so many scenes are disturbing but the ones of her just getting the crap beat out of her over and over were a little much.

Yeah, there's a film called Nekromantik that I'd like to see but I heard that a real animal was killed for the footage and that put me off.

Having sex with a corpse...fine.
Killing an animal, well, that I draw the line at. Unless I'm going to eat it. But for the sake of entertainment, well, we're not in the dark ages anymore...

When I was in Jr. high or even a bit before, there were a few kids in school that constantly talked about those movies. I never understood the attraction, BUT, one thing that strikes me is that each and every one of those knucklehead kids at last count was a complete F-ing loser idiot. Coincidence?

Seeing Leonard Nimoy's character die (for a while) in the TV movie Baffled.

Hope Lange getting rocks and boards piled on her in Crowhaven Farm

Seeing the old guy's ass in In The Mouth of Madness  :buggedout:

The faceless life size painting that came to life in the McCloud episode Someone's Out To Get Jenny ~ I still haven't got over that one.  :buggedout:

Seeing James Hazeldine becoming a conduit for evil in the second episode of the creepy TV series The Omega Factor  :buggedout:

Well that whole singing scene from North when the kid is in Texas.  That was wild.

Agreed!   :thumbup: 

Not too long ago,I sat thru THE DAM BUSTERS a decent flick except I couldn't stop laughing at it... with apologies to RICHARD TODD... (who by the way is 90 years old and still working!!  :thumbup:)   :drink:  This film was a revelation to me; I've only seen a couple of TODD's films that spring to mind, both made in Hollywood like A MAN CALLED PETER and THE VIRGIN QUEEN.  What a difference between how films were shot in Hollywood compared with England...  :drink:  :lookingup:  Okay, please forgive me, Mr. TODD, but I never realized that you are so damned short!!!   :drink:  I mean sitting thru THE DAM BUSTERS was like not watching JOSE FERRER play TOULOUSE LAUTREC...  :drink:  :lookingup:
