I'd have to say for most gruesome/violent is the scene in Hostel when that guy was blow-torching Kana's face. I don't think anything I've seen has ever made me sick to my stomach before that. Both visually and conceptually. I still feel sick when I think about it.

I third the Ninja Scroll mention and second the Dawn of the Dead mention. Day of the Dead has a pretty sick scene where that one soldier gets his guts ripped out from him while the zombies just feast on him.

The Preacher has some pretty grisly scenes strewn all throughout the comic. One in particular is when Tulip tries to kill a senator, but misses and blows off the jaw of some poor sap sitting next to him. Now the jaw never fully comes off, it is still hanging by pieces of skin, while teeth have fallen out and the tongue came dislodged.

Another particularly brutal scene is when an Adephi, Pilo, is forced to summon the Saint of Killers. When he awakens him, the Saint instinctively shoots a bullet from his revolver, hitting the Adephi right through the eyeball, blowing out the back part of his head clear off. Though the Adephi has time to give the Saint the information needed before he dies. Garth Ennis and Steve Dillon rock!

Got one more. Timecop, when the past and present version of the main villain touch (in which according to the laws of this movie, causes the person to be wiped from existence). The scene isn't violent in any way, but watching the two guys fuse together into a whirlwind of flesh, then melting into the floor was just freaky, as well as unexpected. What a way to go. :tpg:

In that movie The Cube when:

Is that in the unrated? Cause the theatrical Hostel was crap that couldn't stir me any which way; nothing about that movie was disturbing, except how bad it was. And that, I assure you, was not supposed to be a laugh-inducing jab nor a sarcastic comment meant to make others think it was clever, but merely an indication of just how horrible it really was, that movie. DAMN YOU, ELI ROTH.

Saw it last night, and it was the first thing that popped into my head. I had never seen anything like that before in a movie. Even my girlfriend turned to me and went "cooooool". Also, nothing like the reaction of Rose and the cop, they just kinda close their eyes and get splattered with the chunky flesh bits as the pyramid head guy chucks the flesh as them. Jesus was that scene just truly fucked up.

Agreed, that scene was truly quite visceral. Also:

I second the dead Alive, Chainsaw scene.. DA aka Braindead, I really can't think of a movie that had disturbing scenes.. well that disturbed me... stuff more like the plot to Fatal Frame 2 acctually creep me out.

That part of Saw I didn't find too bad. The parts that really made me squirm were the attachment traps that Amanda and the guy in the beginning of Saw 2 had. Saw 2 more because of the eye thing.

As for the scene in SH that you mentioned, I giggled like a schoolgirl during that whole part. That is to say, giddily. Really speaks for Gans' prowess as a director that he can generate sympathy and enthusiasm from the audience for a character whose actions are morally ambiguous at best. Or maybe I'm just a sucker for a good revenge story. Either way, that was beautiful, especially when

Cube: Zero had a gross part in the beginning where a guy gets sprayed with water, and thinking it was water he rubs it all over himself (and I think he even drank some), then it turns out the water was really acid. His skin starts falling off in big chunks. The guy held up his hand while staring at it and screaming as the skin fell off in big slimy chunks and hit the floor, before he melted into a big pile of goo.

Has anyone seen the Guinea Pig series? That's supposed to be pretty bad.
