10 Recent Horror Movie Scenes Too Disturbing To Watch

[@irishinnish1]

I love horror movies, and I'm pretty secure in my tolerance of gore...but the 'Bone Tomahawk' scene haunted my dreams. I've never had a reaction to a graphic scene like that one before, and I won't watch it again. Deservedly #1.

[@zoetranter6594]

I felt the same way. I don’t have regrets watching movies, but I’m pretty close with Bone Tomahawk.

[@3am.crimsomnia]

@@zoetranter6594 I agree, but besides that scene, the whole movie was very boring.

[@girtsvitelis115]

I just watched there two weeks ago for the third time 😅😅 I never knew a western would work as a horror till I watched Bone Tomahawk and I’ve no regrets

[@k.hamilton371]

The scene is kinda similar to the handsaw scene in Terrifier. Which movie do you think did it best (which is most brutal/disturbing)?

[@irishinnish1]

@@k.hamilton371 I gotta go with Bone Tomahawk. It's so unexpected. Terrifier prepares you for it with the build up and the music. The BT scene is SO unexpected. They even point out in this WhatCulture video how the lack of music makes it even more brutal. It kind of reminds me of the rape scene in Deliverance. The scariest part about that scene is that it's not even the focal part of the scene. It's happening in the background over a guy's shoulder.

[@Hoop-aloop]

For me, the hardest of these was when her head hit a tree in Hereditary. The lead up panic of the severe allergic reaction, the event, the numbness and shock from Alex Wolff and the scene the next morning waiting for Toni Collette's response, and then that wail. The horror of something that cannot be undone, and of guilt and grief. Most of us are not going to be caught up in demon-cults. But the shock as a point-of-no-return we didn't see coming passes by us? Crushing guilt over something we think we could have stopped or avoided? A tearing grief over an unexpected loss? All too believable, and almost unbearable to watch.

[@antonlutz3596]

[@KG-th3cr]

What's funny is that I laughed out loud at that scene.

I cannot understand the appeal of The Human Centipede. No one I know likes that series. Most say they've watched it just so that they can talk about it if it comes up. How did those even get made? And how much cocaine was involved?

[@luciaelizabeth9233]

Me neither. It's just too much. It's too wrong in all the wrong places(no pun intended). I've watch all 3 also and it gave nothing to show for. I don't talk about and i try not to think about it. i get the idea behind the ''horror´' but i feel more like it took something from me rather than give me something by watching it. I don't really have a better way to explain it. I've seen them once just because i've heard a lot about them and never again. There's 4 movies in that list... The fourth one is A Serbian Fil, for a much much worse reason. Never again.

[@dr.phibesinred6066]

It's just for shock value. I've seen the first one. That's enough. I think people have more fun making the movies than actually watching them.

[@luciaelizabeth9233]

@@dr.phibesinred6066 yeah, maybe they had fun making the human centipede... I hope to god no one had fun making a serbian film.

[@dr.phibesinred6066]

@@luciaelizabeth9233 You're right. But generally people who make horror movies are funny people. Well, most of them. Even with commercial stuff like the Halloween franchise or Friday the 13th, even zombie movies, there's so much tension, trying to be serious and threatening and evil, that you have to be funny when the camera is off, just so you can release that tension. Even more so with low-budget movies. Especially with handmade special effects. Or hilarious stuff like the "centipede". How can they kneel down in line without laughing? Of course, there's films (like "A Serbian Film", not "Servian"), where at the end of shooting the actors need a longer break or even some psychological help. I've heard that had happened to people who where involved in some of the Lars von Trier movies. As a film enthusiast you have always the chance to say "it's only a movie". Or like me, I know what I don't want to see, so I don't even start watching. I try to get some information beforehand and if there's torture or rape involved, then I don't watch it. I rather watch some slimy monster from space.

I watched the first one a few years ago with a cousin of mine, and felt physically and emotionally disturbed by it for days afterward. I can say with full confidence that I will never watch the other two.

[@duaneullery2133]

Critics may have disliked Spiral - as they do pretty much every Saw film - but you're wrong about it disappointing fans. It enjoys a healthy 75% fresh audience rating on RT because many fans thought it was a solid return to form. And Chris Rock didn't helm the film. He came up with the premise and the writers developed it. Darren Lynn Bouseman - who directed Saw II - IV - directed Spiral.

[@spittinvenom9671]

I thought it was solid entry

[@nothinkin69]

I thought it was good! The twist was nice, if a bit predictable. And that's what I like. I don't want something so convoluted that it makes no sense. And the traps were hard to watch, especially the wax and the tongue ones. And the blood looked real, like to the point where I had to tell myself it was just a movie. And I do enjoy that they didn't do what they did with Jigsaw. They made something that made sense in the storyline and in the universe without reconning anything.

I really appreciate Tilly's commentary/borderline call out at the end, "like hey, this list is not meant to be used as a challenge nor a contest... so don't act like it is one. It's okay to have some horror movies/movies in general that you'd prefer not to watch because there are aspects of it's contents that do not sit well with you." I never really got the bragging attitude around what horror movies people watched and how much they watched. It seems more of, "yes, thank you for voluntarily telling others how desensitized to certain themes and visualizations of situations, that you have subjected yourself to..." In a weird way it can come off like a self-inflicted Clockwork Orange moment.

@Festus Rexx It's not a horror movie. And it's not Borat. I don't remember it being that brutal or insulting. Is there anything unusual in it? It's a gangster movie, so there's the f-word a thousand times, but it's not making fun of minorities or "hurting somebody's feelings". Or is it? And they finally had to give Martin Scorsese that goddamn Oscar. I think he never got an Oscar as Best Director before.

[@SlytheyTove]

Q: "What other horror movie moments made you wince and turn away from the film?" A: Almost everything from Terrifier. From the gut wrenching and sheer mean spirited nastiness of the film, to the utterly horrific and outright perverse delight the killer takes in it... this movie was, without a doubt, the movie that had me and my best friend (both long time horror fans) saying by the end: "ok, that was too much." It's vicious, nasty, horrid, and I'm actually surprised none of it made your list here. I can appreciate a horror movie that makes me feel uncomfortable, but that one, took it too far and was just... nasty for the sake of being such. I don't think my friend or myself will ever knowingly watch that movie again, and that's saying something from people like us, who like the depraved and gory spectacles of horror. That one however, just, no... not again, ever.

[@GarouLady]

that movie gives me nightmares and I haven't even watched it yet. the fact that he's a clown and clowns scare the poo outta me. that's a big NOPE! with the exception of Killer Klowns. I think the fact that they are aliens and not really clowns makes it that I can watch that movie safely.

[@cakeisavegatable]

amen i heard that the performance of Art was amazing (also wtf is with the clown trope he is CLEARLY horror's first scary mime) but the film was a gore fest. Shamelessly read the plot beforehand and fast-forwarded through more than half the film lol. I can still love horror and not want nightmares

[@kirsten.leith92]

I agree. I love horror and gore but this movie was on a whole other level of fucked up. The scene where Art the clown sawz the girl in half whilst making her friend watch had haunted me for months. Surprisingly though the 2nd terrier isn't as disturbing as the 1st. I. Fact it's a lot more tame.

[@davidgomersall7185]

Possibly the most harrowing thing I've ever seen was the rape scene in Irreversible. It was an unsparing depiction of the horror of sexual violence. The camera stayed on a single shot for the duration so there were no edits to distract from the act or remind you "it was just a film".

[@heathermillsphantomlimb9314]

Glad I saw this comment. I’d been considering watching that movie, but now I won’t. I can’t stand r*pe scenes in movies. I understand why they’re included in some movies, but I just can’t watch them. I’m fine with torture, mutilation, and brutal murders in movies, but r*pe scenes just hit me the wrong way for some reason.

[@davidgomersall7185]

@@heathermillsphantomlimb9314 it's definitely not one for you then. The scene itself is absolutely central to the plot and not played for titillation. Unlike a lot of films it doesn't use this as a basis for a "revenge and redemption" narrative. A young woman is brutally assaulted and that sparks a spiral of further violence that solves nothing. It's actually a more intelligent film than you expect because it ends up being a brutal exploration of male violence and completely undermines the whole "rape revenge" cinema trope. But yeah, all that aside, watching it once was enough for me and I honestly don't think I could sit through that scene again.

[@heathermillsphantomlimb9314]

@@davidgomersall7185 at least it had a point, even if the point was horrific. The last r*pe scene that made me want to physically attack someone was the scene in The Girl Next Door where that little piece of shit kid is doing the victim, almost lazily because she’s starved and dehydrated, and doesn’t have the energy to fight it. I understood why it was in there, because people need to know what horrors the girl the movie was based on really went through, but like that movie was for you, once was enough. People are just animals sometimes.

[@davidgomersall7185]

@@heathermillsphantomlimb9314 I think my problem is that a lot of the films use violent sexual assault as a motivation for the character or people adjacent to them to become avenging heroes and provide an excuse for them indulging in what is usually pretty horrendous behaviour themselves. Kind of like the "girlfriend in the fridge" trope from the world of comic books (have a quick Google search for the term if you've not heard it before). Irreversible doesn't do that, there's nothing heroic about the vengeance that is meted out, the act that set it in motion is depicted as cold and brutal. The narrative of the film unfolds backwards so we see how her boyfriend shared some responsibility for her being alone and vulnerable, before that how they had started the day as normal (which is actually how the film ends). Whether it's a good film is up for debate but it certainly asks some uncomfortable questions and is definitely not in the category of extreme /exploitation cinema.

[@Inkdpixie1122]

That was as bad, if not worse, than …anything I think I’ve ever seen. Yeah, A Serbian Film was totally fucked up but Irreversible was real and visceral and painful and….oddly enough, a REALLY good movie. That part though….

Bone Tomahawk is genuinely one of my favourite films due to the phenomenal writing and acting. That scene is absolutely horrific and definitely belongs on the list, but the context of the film itself almost makes it,,, worse? There’s been a few violent moments but the film tends to cut away from massively gore-y moments(e.g. “amputation” scene) making this sudden excess of gore jarring, particularly considering a lot of the film is just the characters walking (its engaging, I swear).

[@kimotee5892]

Oh! I would also like to add, in Terrifier there is a similar scene. It’s definitely a lot worse and far more gorey, it takes its brutal, brutal time with the death making it absolutely vile to watch. However, because it’s in a film filled with incredibly extreme acts of violence I was expecting something like that, so to me personally Bone Tomahawk’s scene was actually far more impactful.

[@zebracookii1019]

Hereditary is disturbing mostly due to how accurate the gremioire information is

[@corijohnson9304]

Anybody else think they just love to give Tilly the really grim lists. She is amazing and entertaining as hell to listen to but she does get the tough one. She gets better with every list she does. Keep it going!

[@czguy3045]

Good list! Most such lists usually feature one or two that I disagree with but yeah... this one is pretty much perfect.

[@MazogaTheDork]

FUN FACT! At the end of the "Mother" section of this video one of the people on screen is Jonathan Silver, voice of Felix in The Outer Worlds!

[@hurricane.kelsea]

green room was a pretty brutal one. the end of the gun negotiation scene launched me straight out of the room

[@jennygrant7484]

Honestly Human Centipede 2 you got to hand it to main guy who plays the villian. I mean WOW its mind blowing. Martyrs i can never get out of my head. It just Forever Disturbs me. I just don't think you can top the Original Saw franchise movies. Worst EVER scene of body splitting I seen personally is in Terrifier. I just can't explain how explicit it was to see. WOW. Plus actor in Human Centipede 2 seriously should get an Award. This guys acting honestly Blew My Mind. That film was sheer craziness. I can never forget it

[@Gem00987]

One scene that I think is worse than the majority of this list is the dismemberment scene in Green Inferno.. where a guys eyes and tongue are cut out and then all his limbs severed, finishing with his head all 100% on screen full gore, while he screams... dear God those screams.. I'm not much of a "look away" person when it comes to gory stuff and that one got me good. I had to take a beat to psych myself up before watching it again. There also could have been multiple candidates from the 2013 Evil Dead remake on here as well. That movie is relentless. I really think the director was just trying to see how much on screen gore he could squeeze into one movie, and they leave like... nothing to the imagination. The effects were on point. The house that jack built, however, was severely overhyped and other than the one scene mentioned and like... one other involving a duck, the whole thing was pretty boring, with dreadful pacing, and left me feeling like I had just wasted 2 hours of my life. Like.. cool, thanks for explaining grapes and other nonsense to me for 30 minutes I guess? What a pretentious pile of shit.

[@hunter_hult]

There’s a couple scenes form the August Underground trilogy that made feel real mental distress for about a week after seeing them

[@alexandriamarlow773]

i loved watching this video it gave me some good movies to add to my list, i am just slightly surprised Midsommar was not on here, that movie really messed me up.

[@kamaka07]

It's getting more difficult to watch these films and these scenes of mental and physical anguish. These directors and producers continue to push the envelope to the limits of what one's mind can handle visually and audibly.

[@jilliansummers5659]

Surprised the chimera splice scene from Colour Out of Space didn't make the list.

[@jesk743]

Ugh yeah that disturbed me so much that I won't watch the movie again. And it wasn't even how they looked, it was the SOUNDS.

[@FiveIM]

Oh yeah! I’m still trying to shake that off. I dozed off for a few minutes while I was watching, and was jolted awake by the screaming. It was a hell of a visual to wake up to.

[@sandraweilbrenner67]

Lars must have heard some amazing bedtime stories as a kid lol

[@wellstiscool]

Apostle (2018) - Head in a vice.

[@DJGamingSmash]

Great movies. The only scene I can recall repeatedly struggling to watch was the sexual violence at the end of AntiChrist. I can still easily do it, and I have seen the entire thing without ever looking away, but it's still pretty brutal.

[@thegodofpez]

A better crow scene than the Witch in my opinion was the rapist scene in I Spit On Your Grave 3. All in all a solid list!

[@conancpa]

Good one one Tilly, so to speak. Not everything is wine and roses.

[@twistedvoodooful]

7:08= I have never seen this movie. I have, however, seen the shining. And this face, right here, gives me SO MANY Jack Nicholson vibes as he deteriorates in his madness in the shining. I have to wonder if this actor used Jack as an inspiration during this seen. It's so uncanny, and it's a similar face someone might make after one too many, or the face someone makes after realizing that perhaps three weed brownies was a bit too much. I think I will go see this movie now.

[@Damian_is_Delusional]

Mother! Is one of my FAVOURITE horror movies, I’ve never seen it talked about before!!

[@cj6666666999]

Saint Maude seemed, disappointing. It may be that I expected more supernatural and less... mental health issues. Granted I’d argue that it’s probably more realistic than most movies in that same vein.

[@Potatobrains_]

Agreed, I thought it was just okay.

[@lisayoung3655]

The finger trap in spiral for me was far more disturbing than the tongue trap. 😳

[@timsenesi6161]

It makes me so happy that this channel seems to love Saint Maud as much as I do!

[@theunknownstuntman4010]

So glad I wasn't eating while watching this list lol

[@tamsmith6751]

The scene in Bone Tomahawk is a form of punishment used for hundreds of years in Europe and Asia on criminals.

[@sarahwalsman6944]

The blood eagle scene from Midsommer, when we see the lungs start to move and realize that Simon is still alive..

[@hobomessiah]

Just read your article on this last night. Hearing your voice is always better though!

[@Bealzbob]

Cannibal Ferox. The skull poking through the hole in the table getting capped like a boiled egg, and the brains being scooped out by each passing cannibal.

[@missmanners62]

so happy to see bone tomahawk get some well-deserved love!

[@bobnerdstar]

Great list. I did forget about Swallow need to see it.

[@c4ndycl0wn31]

The Family Picnic in the House that Jack Built gets way worse afterwards. I’ll never forget that horrific “smile”.

[@taylervickery8544]

I saw the torched eyeball scene from Hostile when I was like 9. Still haven't had much compare since then

[@Batmonthesequel]

I always find new movies to add to my watch list when I get into a whatculture binge

[@FixFilmsLtd]

Spiral was SO generic! But the traps, as you say, were very imaginative. Some great deaths in that film!

[@summer-rose7516]

I absolutely cannot watch any of the saw movies without wincing at the challenges they go through. Basically any body removal or things going through bodies. Just ahh

[@pinkburberry]

When it comes to horror movies, I love the scenes that are filled with extreme gore, brutality, killing and extreme harm even the ones that are not meant for my age.

[@satyrosphilbrucato9140]

Excess Flesh. The entire film is an endurance test - a horrific reflection of self-harm, eating disorders, and impossible social demands that can literally drive you crazy. Although there are some suitably gory moments, the truly revolting moments involve realizing just how repugnant eating food can be.

[@4amlibra]

Haven’t seen bone tomohawk, but the description reminded me of Terrifier. Except that movie didn’t use any low-lighting tricks to hide anything. And a hand saw. So… yeah.

[@trashemotionsshowflyer6847]

Enter the void, not being a horror movie, was one of the hardest to watch for me. Especially the crash scene

[@simonfarnes914]

I can't be the only one who thinks the witch is not as great as everyone says???

[@cenexxis]

A Classic: The "520" of the Head of Regan in "The Exorcist".

[@davidvega462]

I watched the witch in the theater with a surprisingly large audience. During “the crow scene” the audience laughed while booing and asking for their money back. I have to admit I laughed too. It was…weird 🤷🏼‍♂️😂

[@brian6391]

That movie sucks

[@ChrisShredGuitar]

Damn Bone Tomahawk was really good and that last splattery part was so intense and unexpected

[@aarongaal8168]

I’m kinda surprised to not see anything from Martyrs on here. Headless would be another great film with some likely disturbing moments. Of course there are films like Blood Shock that definitely deserve a spot on a list such as this. Then we can get to the more hardcore films like the August Underground films, Traces of Death, The Most Disturbed Human Being On Planet Earth and of course the Vomit Gore trilogy 😈😉

[@estrellanarvaez-reynolds7387]

I love horror movies and have morbid curiosity when it comes to real life gore. I’m bothered by it, but somehow I can never shake Bone Tomahawk. I cannot describe my horror when I first saw it, just pure shock. I can’t fathom how anyone that hasn’t seen bad gore would react

[@coleprater7391]

Honorable mention: Terrifier

[@keithkong1985]

It really is sad how much coddling needs to be done these days. That was a lot of disclaimers for a channel based on hollywood fiction

[@myozbubble]

I agree with all of these parts with the movies that I have seen. And the couple that I haven't, I'll be bracing for it the entire movie.

[@AevasHouse]

I was expecting more recent movies than some of the ones on this lost

[@troutmeplica9272]

It's not a horror in the classic sense but to all you fans, watch a movie called "Speak no Evil"...... the kess you know going in the better. I've seen EVERY horror movie worth talking about but nothing has stayed with me or haunted me so deeply as the final 10 minutes of that absolute masterpiece.

[@parisdelrey5566]

Not a huge fan of the reboot of wrong turn. But the scene where the guy gets crushed by the tree rolling down. So real and nasty
