[knight steel]

Just.......don't look it up-seriously just don't please for all that good in the world don't look it up it will make you vomit I swear the first few chapters are bad enough but by the end of it..........The HORROR X_X

I kind of suprise (althought it's a good thing) no one had mention that anime OVA film "Genocyber". That is the most brutal and gorefill movie I have ever seen as in not being able to stomach it and in turn traumatized me. It's pretty much the reason why I don't watched gore/ very violent anime in general.
Oh there also the Violence Jack and Urotsukidoji/ Overfiend series but Overfiend is fuck up on a whole new level (rape and gore).

Honorable mention (watching the violence with no problems) goes to-
Robotcop series
Predator series (1 and 2 and NOT the Alien vs series!)
Sympathy for Lady Vengence
Audition
The Thing
Dredd
The Machine Girl (but that is more of a Evil Dead sort of violence)
Passion of the Christ

Watership Down

What the actual fuck?

This. Especially since its rated as a "U" so suitable for all ages. Who knew rabbits contained so much blood?

For me it is not necessarily the gore that makes a movie's violence react so much as how it is presented. To me one of the most demonstrative for me with violence is actually "Se7en". Again, only 7 bodies, but some of the presentations are disturbing in how I could actually picture a person doing those things to prove his point.

Sloth...that's all I have to say.

Night Watch.
The Big evil dude pulls his spine out in the end and uses it as a sword

 

[Lono Shrugged]

Man if some of you guys ever see a Takashi Miike film you would flip out...

!!!WARNING NWS violent, disturbing etc!!!


If you don't want to watch it's a pretty stylish sado-machocist hanging a guy from the ceiling with hooks. Jamming needles in his cheeks and pouring hot tempura on him. The main title for the film is written in actual spunk.

This is only a fraction of Takashi Miike's depravity and unlike a lot of very violent directors. Miike makes some very interesting and compelling films. (Audition, Visitor Q etc.)

- Hostel (haven't sen the sequels, maybe they're even more violent)

they really aren't. there's a couple of moments

Spoiler

like where a woman lays down, has a victim above her, and cuts her with a scythe to bathe in her blood, or where a woman cuts off a mans penis, because reasons

but they are really few and far between. as for the third, not even in the same league, they changed directors and you can really tell. not to say its without violence, but it changes from a really gritty dark film to just another gore film, and doesn't have anything close.

anyway, OT for me i'd split it into several categories:

-old school violence and just silly gore: braindead
-ott modern violence: battle royale
-meaningful violence that has an impact: oldboy/eden lake
-dude, thats just wrong...: a serbian film/the girl next door

seriously, check out eden lake, its a fucking horrible film

This is easy. Should be Braindead, also known as Dead Alive from Peter Jackson. There's a reason it's nearly impossible to get a completely uncut version of this film.

In the 70's and 80's there was a wave of splatter movies, each trying to trump the others with their violence. Movies about cannibalism, movies where people got disemboweled etc. In 1992 Braindead arrived and after this film the general opinon was: There's nothing left to say regarding violence.

It simply contains everything, from people getting their limbs chopped off, to getting their spine ripped out, to zombie babies getting mashed in the mixer, to a priest getting impaled on a statue of the virgin mary. One of the most iconic scenes involves a bunch of party guests getting zombified and then hacked to pieces with a lawnmower. At one point a guy gets chopped to tiny pieces and his guts continue to live and form some bizarre monster which in turn now starts to kill people. Whatever you can imagine, Braindead either has it or exceeds it.


Here's the trailer (no violence):

Either Ultraviolet or Shoot 'Em Up (which was just awesome by the way and you should go see it right now)

 

[47_Ronin]

Man, simply reading through the thread makes me want to cuddle something fluffy and forget some of the movies I have seen in my youth.

I got Jutsu's baby!

Seriously for a second, I'm as surprised by some of the stuff getting brought up in this thread as you are.

There are so many unfucked minds around here it's almost sweet.

I had actually mentioned audition a few posts up.
I know Miike has done movies with way more violence per minute
But the setup in Audition is what gets me. He invests so much time in you getting to know the cast. And actually gets you to care!

 

[Hieronymusgoa]

The remake of "I spit on your grave" actually made me puke, okay close to puke. I looked away before too much stuff was able to "rise".
And i watched every somehow watchable movie like that...This was by far the worst.

Second was "The cook, the thief, his wife and her lover" where I nearly puked at the end again, but more out of the cruelty of the situation than actual gore.

 

[viranimus]

LOL I love it that I am so desensitized that most of what people are listing I practically view as comedies.

Hell, the most violent thing I watched within the last 24 hours was the reboot of Evil Dead.

This thread is practically a library of part of my film tastes with the likes of
Oldboy,
Kill Bill,
Starship troopers,
Vallhalla rising (SEE THAT!)
Grindhouse,
A serbian film,
Human Centipede(violent in its own psychological way).
The "bootleg film" for Nine inch Nails album Broken,
Rampage,
Apacalyptico,
Even the Passion of the Christ is essentially a 2 hour highly praised snuff film.

So as for "most violent" It is all about perspectives with nothing Ive ever watched being even possible to vastly outdo anything else.

So Just to throw a curve I would nominate the pricks who deserve to be subjected to every form of violence who upload videos online torturing, crippling and murdering defenseless dogs, cats and other animals cause nothing can make me more violently ill and is more offensive to my senses than that.

Ha! We had exactly this one as one of the scariest and disturbing things in a discussion about violence in movies a week ago.

Of course I had to look it up, how could I not after such a convincing advertising speech?

A few glances at the pictures in Google image search were enough.

What.
The.
Fuck?

For me it is not necessarily the gore that makes a movie's violence react so much as how it is presented. To me one of the most demonstrative for me with violence is actually "Se7en". Again, only 7 bodies, but some of the presentations are disturbing in how I could actually picture a person doing those things to prove his point.

Sloth...that's all I have to say.

I don't think Se7en even qualifies in this category, since most of its acts of violence are merely implied. Disturbing? Yes. Uncomfortable? Undoubtedly. Depressing and grotesque? Absolutely. But violent, as in actual on-screen physical acts of harm inflicted on people? They probably account for less that 2 minutes of the movie's length.

And I just remembered another violent film, though like Braindead, it too is softened by its over the top comedic sensibilities: Crank 2. Less than 5 minutes into the film the main character has already killed like 5 people and shoved a shotgun up a bad guy's ass. Damn, I need to see that movie again!
