Hmm, I would have to say the Phantom Menace when George Lucas slowly began killing everything he created, that was the most painful death I ever had to witness.
Most disturbing death in a movie
- Thread starter whiskey rock n' roller
- Start date
I was actually going to say this. While the effects of that scene were no doubt cheesy, it was still very disturbing to see the two main nazis faces melt off and turn into skeletons after seeing what was in the Ark. It's a good thing too that they didn't show what was in that Ark or that could have been the same fate for us movie watchers, maybe? Plus, since I haven't watched many horror movies, this would be one of the most creepy scenes that I have watched.Kilaknux said:

That one medic guy in "Saving Private Ryan" had a pretty disturbing death scene. He kept on screaming for his mother, and all that blood...whoa, I get woozy just thinking about it.
Can;t say I've seen Dead Ringers, but I'm with this guy, over the top ultry gory deaths don't really have the same ability to mentally hit someone, they can be gross or repulsive, but to burning, drowning, choking, suffocating etc is so easily something that could happen to any of us, that's its way more disturbing I think.Agema said:
The guy who got killed by the Compsognathus in The Lost World: Jurrassic Park 2.
I mean that movie had people getting torn apart by T-rexes, Raptors, trampled by stampeding herbevores and all manner of deaths. But for some reason this really disturbed me.
Maybe it was the idea of many tiny creatures attacking all at once to eat you all up, maybe it was the fact that he screamed in agony, or maybe it's because Compies are just so cuuuuute and loveable and now they've become nasty. Whatever the case it is probably the second most disturbing death scene I've ever seen.
Number one still has to go to the death of Jud Crandall at the hands of the resurrected Gage Creed in Pet Sematary.

They do that in 28 days later except there are no zombies involved in the scene at all - surely that's more disturbing?Jurassic Rob said:
I shrug off saw movies and other horror scenes with ease, but I have to agree. This one rattled me and I can't figure why. It was totally cheesy, but I couldn't watch the whole thing.Lost In The Void said:
But whoever mentioned American History X had to be talking about when he made the guy put his teeth on the curb and stomped the back of his head in. That one was so gritty and real, without even showing gore.
Which brings me to my favorite disturbing death, all about the gritty realism: No Country for Old Men, when the villain strangles that cop with his handcuffs. I am mesmerized every time, in the sickest way.
Possibly worse in that movie was when the german they let go kills one of the guys with a knife. The knife goes in so slow because they are struggling, and the german keeps shushing him, like its all going to be ok.Thunderclaw said:
All of the ones in Funny Games, because the movie keeps making you think it's not going to happen. That whole movie was fucked up.
...I don't watch any horror or slasher stuff.
It may not seem that odd, but that whole thing with the remote came out of nowhere. There was nothing in the movie before to suggest anything like that could happen. I find it disturbing in that this occasion was the first glimpse of hope for the family, and the bad guys basically cheated. You just feel so helpless.
Some of the deaths in Inglorious Basterds made me feel uncomfortable.
When Hugo Stiglitz kills the Gestapo officers, he puts a pillow over one of their faces and then repeatedly stabs him in the face through the pillow. Another one he sticks his entire fist down this guy's throat to choke him to death
Just about anything involving spiders, giant or otherwise.
From an objective standpoint I'm sure there are far more cringe-inducing ways to go, but by God do I hate spiders.

Wow, I had forgotten about those but you're absolutely correct. Uuuugh!Xojins said:
I don't watch horror movies, I'm paranoid enough. I say any death from the original nightmare on elm street. Especially the thing with the bed....
Gonna be fun sleeping tonight...
To be honest the most disturbing deaths arent even the ones that are the most creepy. It is the ones that are extremely creepy that happen to a character you grow attatched to. For instance; Hostel
When the main character goes through the entire first movie events, what with getting half of his hand sawed off, saving the girl from the torture. Not to mention seeing two of his friends brutally disfigured and murdered.
After managing to escape from all of that just to have the girl he went through all the trouble to save kills herself, he then gets nightmares about the torture company finding him. So he becomes extremely paranoid to everyone, including his new girlfriend. Than, during the first ten minutes of the second movie you go to find that someone from the company broke into his house and chainsawed off his head, just like that. They really did it when the cat started licking his open wound.
