Painful scenes in movies that made you wince (POSSIBLE SPOILERS)

[Harrison]

Although many have said they thought is wasn't that great a film, a few of the torture scenes in Hostel were quite realistic and made me feel a bit uncomfortable watching them. The storyline and plot were quite dire though.

I'm sure I saw one worse than that recently though. I will have to have a think and try to remember what it was.

Hostel is brutal !
Hostel 2 was released this summer? If so i have to see that one!!

[Harrison]

Yes it was. It received better write ups than the first, but I've not seen it yet.

While Hostel wasn't a very good film, I think the premise behind it is a very, very unsettling one. The very idea that such a practise actually may or may have existed in some form or another is enough to make me sick. After watching the film, I sure have asked myself many times ... "What if it happened to me?"

A very scary thought.

Some of the scenes were very brutal, yes ... the most unsettling scene, in my opinion, was when the main character is dragged through the hallway to his cell, and while looking left and right - seeing people being mutilated and hearing their tortured screams - it dawns upon him what unimaginable horrors are going on around him, and what horrors are awaiting him in a few moments. A very well-shot scene, in my opinion - it captured the atmosphere perfectly.

You have to watch some Takashi Miike films, some very real and disgusting torture scenes.

[Harrison]

I've heard about those but not seen any. Will have to download some.

Get Ichi the Killer, a masterpiece

In the Masters of Horor collection is also one by Miike called Imprint. There's a torture scene where a girl sticks needles under another ones finger nails, uncut.

My bird doesn't like Hostel because she was disappointed by the torture scenes.

She was hoping to see a lot more on the torture side of things.
Bit too tame for her tastes.

[Harrison]

Bet you have to watch your step then!

For me it was good until the girl had her eye dangling out of the socket. That just looked unrealistic.

It's always the quiet ones who have the dungeon and the leather.
