most harrowing scene in film

I was watching my "Boogeymen" DVD, and it had a trailer for "The Dentist". Now, this being somewhat of a universal fear, there was a scene where Corbin Bernsen literally drilled a mans tooth OUT. I mean this guy was HOLLOWING HIS TOOTH...RIGHT THE **** OUT....

I'm just speechless after having witnessed that. How unnerving.

"As for 'Kids', I wouldn't say that the WHOLE movie is repulsive, but The Virgin Surgeon is definitely a repuslive character. Have you seen 'Ken Park'? It's the same deal there..."

Unfortunately, Ken Park isn't available around here. I would like to see it though.

One I can share, that I have actually seen would be the "Sloth" segment of "Seven". The character is strapped to a bed, morbidly emaciated, figured dead, and then, out of nowhere, this skeleton of a man just catapults out of bed gasping.

I swear on all things holy, it's the greatest first time jump scare ever. It's poignant for all the wrong reasons. I shudder to think that someone could in real life do such a thing, given they're crafty enough, not to mention acutely sadistic.

Very true CA, that is a great scene.

How about in Nightmare on Elm Street 4 when one of the girls gets her arms torn off, head ripped out, and then gets turned into a cockroach. That scene was actually pretty stupid, but it was still really really disturbing.

Physical violence and gore has never effected me much, my most harrowing moment was in Casualties Of War. The pain and suffering the soldiers put that Vietnamese girl through, even before they rape her, never fails to horrify me.

That scene was pretty bad... also the scene in platoon when berenger wants to kill the whole village...

i've seen the dentist movies, they are graphic to say the least...

the irreversible rape and the audition finale are definately two of the worst...

then there was pet semetary, when the kid stabs the guy in the heel... i dont know why but that freaked me out no end...

There was a scene in this movie called May where the main character was trying to create Frankenstein and to give it an eye she jammed a pair of scissors into her eyeball and gouged it out.

I found the scenes with the blind kids the most disturbing in the whole film.

Mosst harrowing. i dont know, nothing really bothers me, well one scene that got my heart pumping was in American H X. When the devil, i mean E. Norton pulled off that curb stomp. I dont know why but my face hurt after watching that. There is a pretty bad scene in Shallow Grave, where Ewan McG. gets a bag over his head and they tie him down, and take crow bars and smash his shins in. That sucks to be him.

The Passion of the Christ made me cringe at times, that's about it. Most things don't disturb me anymore, I'm desensitized.

Whoever mentioned Shaun of the Dead and the intestine scene...I found that hilarious. It was so funny to see them rip him to pieces and then the girl run out with the arm to fight them off. I was laughing so hard.

Passion of the christ was too over the top and the scenes lasted way to long. I was yawning through most of those "graphic" scenes. Held no where near the power of Irreversibles rape scene.

i found neither the passion of the christ or irreversable either harrowing or good

There are many more ways to push the boundaries of film making then in the ways described here.
They all don't have to be horrible and gory. Some can be good.
Here's mine.

I think the movie "The Incredibles" really pushed the boundaries in movie making(CG Animated Movies).
A specific sequence in the movie where they really out did themselves is the "100 mile dash". This is the scene where the Dash the speedy little boy in the movie has is chase scene where he's running from the bad guys using his super speed and multiple things happen. This was a very beautiful and well done sequence. And Bryan Bird was very creative in what he did with a character whose only super power is super speed, he did some real neat, wild and crazy stuff in that chase sequence.

What does that have to do with shit?

i think they're refering to not just "harrowing" scenes but also the fact that the people who make the movies with those scenes are "pushing the envelope" and then refering to how The Incredibles is also "pushing boundaries"

tears of the sun with bruce willis which i watched for the first time the other night is pretty harrowing as it shows with unflinching brutality, what people in many countries do to each other...cutting off a womans breasts so that she may never feed her children....

also i found the scene in schindlers list with little boy hiding in the latrine pretty poignant...as well as many other scenes in that film....the conveyer belt with all the decomposed bodies and the human ash falling on to the car with the kids playing because they think its snow

hmm ne part of ghost ship was pushing it ... 😘

Thank you, that's the "shit" that I am talking about slipnoT.

Well the whole ship sinking in Titanic of course
