Most violent movies you've watched

[knight steel]

Look I know that you said movie but....well I have a really good manga example that I really want to share so I'm going to do that instead:The Daily life of Mai-chan.

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

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?

WHY............WHY DID YOU DO IT-I WARNED YOU-I TRIED TO STOP YOU-WHY DID YOU DO IT

Just a few pictures are not enough to capture the sheer disgusting horror that is that manga-the context,...it's what makes it truly horrifying.

The end.......ripping a baby out of pregnant girls stomach putting it in a blender and then making her drink it is the worse thing I have seen *BLEGH*

Well, I have a sort of morbid curiosity towards this sort of thing. I've read all up on things like Human Centipede 2, Antichrist, Martyrs, A Serbian Film, Salo, Ichi the Killer etc. though I've never watched any of them. I actually read the Koroshiya 1 manga (the movie Ichi the Killer is based on), which is said to be far worse than anything in the movie. I actually kind of enjoyed it in the same way I enjoyed Hellsing, because it was so utterly bonkers and over the top in every depravity it depicted I couldn't take it seriously. Though there were many, many, MANY instances where I wanted to stop reading, like the scene where

Spoiler

the main character sees his sort-of girlfriend getting brutally spousally abused and JERKS OFF TO IT!

It was fucked up beyond words.

But to clarify, I am never ever ever ever ever ever going anywhere near anything remotely related to Mai-Chan's daily life now, because gore and sex are two things that were never ever meant to be put together.

Kotoko. Has to be Kotoko for me.
It is a japanese movie about a bat-shit crazy woma who beats up her boyfriend, slashes her wrists and has crazy hallucinations of being beaten up herself.

It is not a horro movie but it is creepy as hell.

Just like so many people here, the first that came to mind is Hobo with a shotgun. Also Ichi the Killer. Although the sheer over-the-top goofiness of its gore sort of waters down the impact it has.
What personally disturbs me much more, however, is the gritty and much more realistic violence of movies like The Poughkeepsie Tapes or Funny Games (there are probably better examples but these just came to mind).
And of course, I have to mention The Evil Dead, if only because of the age I was when I saw it...

 

[DSK-]

MD Geist. I watched it when I was kid. Still don't quite know what to make of it.

 

[Aetera]

It's been mentioned, but Ichi the Killer for me, definitely. That movie was brutal.

This is what I think as well. Most "horror" film that end up amounting to nothing more than over the top torture and horrific violence have little impact on me (and I'm not a fan of horror films in general).

If I was to be really disturbed, I'd take Audition or Irreversible over any Eli Roth film. That stuff is much more visceral and realistic to me, and thus way more disturbing. Anybody can create horrific violence on the big screen, but to really show the impact it can have on people is the real challenge.

I remember back when I was a kid I was shuffling through some TV channels and stumbled upon some incredibly violent scene. I still remember it clearly.
So, I guess it was some war movie. Two soldiers enter a house. In that house there's an old woman, she doesn't seem surprised and she offers them an apple. She says something in her own language, soldiers don't understand that. Then, one of the soldiers sees that woman wears a golden ring. He takes his knife, cuts of woman's finger and takes ring for himself.
I still have no idea what movie that was, but effect on my young mind was brutal.

While there have been countless movies that have raised the bar on creative violence time and again, I always come back to John Carpenter's The Thing (1982 version). In terms of quantity I'm sure it would be considered tame in comparison to many other films, but it's execution and focus on suspense makes it all the more effective when things are revealed to not be what they seem...

Sometimes just knowing what -might- be unleashed upon the screen is enough for intensity. And it is brutal in a very unique way.

I'd love to discuss it more, but that would spoil it for anyone unfamiliar with it. It has my recommendation for horror and cruel, brutal violence enthusiasts alike. The go-to example for less is more if you'd ask me.

 

[Private Custard]

Hobo With A Shotgun.

In the first 5 minutes, a dude gets dropped in a sewer grate down to his neck, has barbed wire wrapped around his neck and then the wire is attached to a car that drives off.

A bikini clad girl then comes and danced in the fountain of blood.

Also "The Plague" did all kinds of wonderfully fucked up things in that movie...

I think Hobo with a Shotgun.

Plot synopsis is titular, and it's awesome. I think it was intentionally gorey, like the trashy B-movies of yore.

Holy crap, another person with the same answer!

Now I feel the need to watch that movie again...

Do you know what I loved the most about Hobo? The end credits.......same music as the Raccoons!


I watched it with a friend when we were having a few ales and literally jumped out of my chair when I heard this tune kick in!!

EDIT:

Seems the uploader of the video above has thrown his toys out of the pram!

"Any Hobo With A Shotgun comments will be removed as the film is a slap in the face to real Raccoon purists like myself, if anything it just proves Gillis is a sell out! If you support that film, you're NOT supporting the Raccoons getting future DVD releases, you're just encouraging Gillis to further RAPE his own creation and making a mockery of his own show that we've grown to respect. He may not like his creation, but we do. So any Hobo fans can naff off!"

Unfortunately they left Wyald out and also Rickert being saved by the Skull Knight as well, which to me doesn't make any sense, it just reduces the suspense of the Hawks rescuing Griffith, well at least they included the Skull Knight.

This is the problem I have with these new movies, apart from the horrendous CGI... They leave out all those character building and atmosphere establishing moments. Taking Guts' traumatic flashback out of the sex scene completely reduces that moment to just a sex scene, instead of the incredibly revealing moment that shows how deeply scarred Guts is and which forges an indestructible bond between him and Casca.

The new movies just come across as bullet point presentations instead of real stories.

Yeah that flashback is an integral part of his backstory and helps show how much he's changed by being with the band of the hawk. Used to be he shut everyone out to the point of being unable to stand being touched, now he's forging a meaningful bond with someone and making himself vulnerable, which for a guy as guarded as Guts is a huge deal.

Now Wyald and the Demon Dogs? That was just another excuse for the artist to draw another almost-rape scene. Wyald added nothing to the plot except to make their rescue of Griffith a bit more dire, which could easily have been done without attempted tentacle rape. I love Berserk and it was really the first manga I followed enthusiastically, but damn if they don't feel the need to include a ridiculous amount of sexual violence, I mean the whole troll thing? Really?

I just realized I responded to a post made a long ass time ago, oh well, I wrote it, it would be silly not to post it right? Right?

 

[Relish in Chaos]

A Clockwork Orange, mostly because of the sheer nihilistic sadism Alex and his droogs commit on their nights out.

Final Destination 5. Three words: laser eye surgery. And my friend and I watched it in the cinema, in 3D, and I?ve probably never cringed harder in my life.

Crank 2. It somehow surpassed the original Crank in its ridiculous penchant for over-the-top sex and violence.

As for non-movie examples?the manga Tokyo Red Hood. In a nutshell, it?s about a masochistic loli who wants nothing more than to be eaten by ?Mr. Wolf? and goes around harvesting organs from the people she kills.
