most horrific death scene?

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

Dang, sorry to come in late but that was pretty screwed up.

The death of Murphy in Robocop is ridiculously violent.

The death of 'Melty Guy' serious creeped me out.

It still does!

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

The curbstomp in American History X

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.

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 
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.

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?

[Barack Clinton]

Nothing, but thanks for asking.

Glad you're still around, BC, even if we don't agree on some things.
