Most INTENSE Scenes

[Posher778]

What do you guys think are the most intense scenes from horror movies? Like, edge of your seat "holy crap!" stuff?

I think the last 30 minutes or so of scream 3, with the big house, and people getting slashed every 2 seconds, leading up to that ending, is insane. I'm trying to think of some others, but drawing a blank. The end of red eye, or just the whole part after she escapes the plane is very intense.

[Yellow Jacket]

Don't ask me why, but the scene in "Dead Alive'' where there eating their pudding (which reminds me of those old gay cowboy movies) and the one dude it's her blood. I almost puked at that scene and couldn't eat pudding for months. I can take all the gore you throw at me, but if somebody eats pudding blood, I freak out! I'm weird like that.

[RavageRitual]

The rape scenes from Ichi The Killer make me say "holy shit!" out loud. Theyre intense...

[Posher778]

I meant more like, violence, climactic fight kind of thing, but, yeah.

I felt the same way during the rape scenes in I Spit on Your Grave. *shudders*

@Posher- Hmm, that'll take some serious thought. Though, I know I've had this feeling before.

Have you ever seen Ichi The Killer

it doesnt get much more intense and violent than the rape scenes in that film.

the diareah scene in dumb and dumber

definately 'edge of the seat - holy crap' !

[noctuary]

The infamous two scenes from Irreversible. Just flat out difficult to watch. Other than that, there's the final scene in Audition, and the incest scene in I Stand Alone, but those two are definitely milder.

[Skaboy]

Posher778: If Scream 3 is the most intense thing you've seen, you have a lot yet to see my friend (your "top ten" reinforces this). Just a few that spring to mind and which I found intense:

The rape scene from Irreversible: a single shot, with no cuts; and the guy who just walks past. Humanity doesn't get much lower.

Irreversible again: the fire extinguisher scene. I find that very uncomfortable viewing.

Men Behind the Sun: the autopsy. Very drawn out and sadistic.

Mordum: quite a few intense, sick scenes in that one.

Cube: the first character to fall victim to the booby traps, who gets diced.

Wu Shu (Run & Kill): the burning of the daughter is pretty extreme. There are probably a load more HK Cat III scenes of notoriety that I've not seen yet.

Cannibal Holocaust: quite a few intense moments but the final dismemberment is quite heavy going.

Brain Dead: the whole film. Absolutely hilarious though, so perhaps not intense, just extreme.

And I've yet to watch some recent acquisitions which might feature here post-viewing: Ichi the Killer, New York Ripper, Nekromantik, Aftermath...

[lionels_mother]

I gotta go with the 'kerb scene' in American History X, the pus pudding in Braindead, about the last half hour of Silence of the lambs, the rape scene in irreversible, Weasel's dream in Last House, and basically all of the dentist/the dentist 2... I'm fine with extremely graphic gore, but anything to do with teeth and I'm squirming.

[Despare]

Ichi... I thought the nipple stretch and cut was worse than the rape heh.

Going by your definition of intense, I'd say the quiet room scene in Cube.

[The_Return]

Different kind of "intense", but the last 15 minutes of The Blair Witch Project.

That's a good one. I thought there were quite a few intense parts in that movie.

[Zero]

the bunny vaccuming scene in Wallace & Gromit - I shudder each time i see it



oh, and all of Curious George, for personal reasons

[crazy raplh]

the rape scenes in I spit on your grave.

[mothermold]

That's the stuff!!

Thank God I'm not the only one!

Son of the Mask. The whole movie was just to hard for me to watch! FACTOID: Son of the Mask in #1 on Yellow Jacket's "Top Ten Worst Moives".

[Elvis_Christ]

The village scene in Platoon used to really bother me.

Not much really gets to me now.

Last thing the messed me up was the final scene in the documentry Executions where a guy is dealt some vigilante justice in his village had half his jaw blown off and lies there gasping till he dies. Fucked up shit.

[alkytrio666]

I thought War of the Worlds (2005) was pretty intense. I was up on my seat the whole movie.

[Posher778]

yeah, just about everyone misinterpreted what I said. I mean intense as in suspenseful violence and stuff, and I don't really think rape counts. Blair Witch yes, WotW-hell yeah.

And Skaboy, movies don't have to be gory and sick minded to be intense, and the ending to scream 3 is quite intense, mainly just the first time you watch it, as is the last 15 minutes of halloween.

[ItsAlive75]

Do you just want us to say "Scream is intense?" Everyone's answers seem to be wrong.

I agree that movies don't need to be gory and sick-minded to be intense: the final scenes in Close Encounters are intense but that's not a horror film and this is a horror forum.

Have you seen The Woman In Black? Probably not as you seem to be of the Halloween and Scream school. For really intense, you need to look outside of your local video rental store to places like the far east and on ebay.

The Woman In Black is intense throughout with its creepiness and its ability to actually scare: not to shock or gross out; genuinely frighten you, like your own nightmares do.

You asked for intense scenes though and the ones that I and others mentioned are considered intense by the respective posters. This is a subjective issue so opinions will vary.

In my humble opinion, the films that you find intense and that you list as your favourites are weak compared to some of the stuff you could be watching.

If you really want to see films that affect you, give The Woman in Black, Men Behind the Sun, Nekromantic and other hard-to-come-by movies a look. Your definition of "intense" will alter, I guarantee you.

[urgeok]

i found all of magnolia intense ..

the entire movie was an exercise in tension ..
from the kid who had to pee, to tom cruise being put on the spot - to the cop who lost his gun.

very difficult movie to sit through .. you feel like there's a hand clasping your heart the whole way through and it leaves you exhausted by the end.

i dont think i enjoyed it .. its not the kind of tension i can appreciate when it's relentless like that ... but i respect the film.



ps. ... i didnt give away any spoilers - if you havent seen it ..

[scouse mac]

There is something about the scene in True Romance between Christopher Walken and Dennis Hopper which is really intense. I suppose its the promise of extreme violence coupled with pretense of polite conversation (well almost polite).

i love that scene .. walken getting pissed at himself because he got suckered into what hopper was trying to do ...

pure tarantino moment

[noctuary]

Thought I would add one to the list:

Funny Games. There's very little actual violence in this film, but the whole movie is incredibly tense. You spend the whole time wondering just what those two boys are going to do next. Michael Haneke really made his reputation with this film, and if you're a fan of European nihilistic filmmakers such as Noe or Breillat, you'd do well to look up his films.

[Skaboy]

I have to second what scouse mac said: the scene in True Romance with Dennis Hopper and Christopher Walken.

You just know that Hopper knows he's going to be killed so decides to have some fun at Walken's expense. I particularly like the way he takes the previously proffered Chesterfield so that he can savour the moment.

Excellent and a very intense scene: well pointed out.

****** Spoiler ************

it wasnt that he was having fun ... he was going to be tortured to give up his kid so he goaded walken into killing him instead.

[Posher778]

And No... I don't expect you to say scream, i used it as an example... but people didn't understand what i meant, so i used it as an example again.

It wouldn't have been that bad if it was just blood, but it was like a mix of puss and blood. It was freakin gross. By the way, it wasn't pudding, it was "custard". ;)

[XFeaRX]

As of late- Haute Tension had some intense moments. Saw 1 and 2 had some pretty intense scenes as well.

[Posher778]

I agree about Saw. the ending is really the only intense part, i think. or at least the part that stuck out the most.

True. Oh, and custard reminds me of pudding for some apparent reason. I also find a lot of The Exorcist intense (that's why I love it so much). I'm not referring to the masturbation scene, I'm more and less referring to the scenes where they get a close-up of Reagan. For some reason, her face (when possessed) gices me chills up and down my spine. The head turning and spiderwalk were quite intense as well.

[Posher778]

exorcist is just weird, haha. I don't care much for it, but it has some intense stuff, not like action, but just because its demonically insane

[Posher778]

haha. I was just like... ok... hmm. I'm watching wrong turn, expecting gore and violence, only to find, about 2 seconds with violence and about a 0 on the gore scale..... and the mountain people are gay and stupid... so this movie is NOT intense.

[RavageRitual]

Wrong Turn is still a pretty fun horror flick

If the acting was better and the killers weren't such fucking dumb asses it would be really good. I just liked the watchtower, highly fake jumping thing.

It was alright, thats what i was looking forward to, but i don't think they pulled it off very well. Some of the stuff in doom really scared me, like when the guy in the sewer saw the eyes.... ooooh i was scared there.

[kpropain]

Eyeball scene in The New York Ripper

Eyeball scene in Zombie

Several scenes in Ichi The Killer for sure

The end of Audition

Several scenes in Cannibal Holocaust and Ferox

The House On The Edge Of The Park has some pretty intense scenes..

And I have to agree with Elvis_Christ about the village scene in Platoon, that one always got me also...

The russian roulette scenes in the Deer Hunter

I know I'm forgetting alot of others that I'm sure I'll remember later..

[crazy raplh]

RAPE!!! it is where you force youself on someone without there content, incase you didn't know that. last house on the left, and a clockwork orange.

[The STE]

the attempted assassinatino scene in Taxi Driver
the diner scene in The Godfather
the 3 way duel in The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly
the scene in Halloween when Michael sits up in the background
the last Forbidden Room scene in Kairo
the ending to Se7en

[Despare]

I agree, rape scenes like Irriversable and I Spit on Your Grave are pretty intense.

[AUSTIN316426808]

[scouse mac]

The duel in GBU is a good shout, but ive always thought the one in 'For a Few Dollars more' was slightly better. With the watch chimes winding down, Clint appears with the second watch and the advantage swings away from Indio. Always find myself holding my breath waiting for the chimes to stop.

[persuasian70]

Majority of the movie High Tension lives up to it's title. The movie does have it's problems but the first half is very intense. I also thought the elevator scene with the old man in The Eye was pretty good.

[PeaSoupintheye]

I thought the Scene in 'The Birds' where she is sat outside the school and happens upon a crow flying above and as she follows it flight and it lands behind her on the climbing frame covered in...BIRDS!!

The ending of Seven

Loads of scens from Ichi The Killer

The Rape from I spit and Irreversible (also fire ext. scene)

I thought Alien was quite intense.

The scene in TCM where the grandpa is trying to hit her on the head with the hammer.

The Exorcist - V.Intense

The Eye - The scene where she is in a classroom ( I think?) and she's writing and happens to look up to the ghost that screams and points etc

Ringu

I found scenes in the original Amityville and the Entity to be intense...

Funny Games and certain scenes from A Clockwork Orange

Cannibal Holocaust (the turtle scene - I found v. hard to watch)

Cannibal ferox

I can't think of any more currently but am sure there's loads.

[Posher778]

The only part of high tension that was intense was near the end, most of it was just... whatever.

[PR3SSUR3]

The end of red eye, or just the whole part after she escapes the plane is very intense

Thanks, you big oaf.

Whoa, whoa, whoa...Scream intense, High Tension whatever. I'm living in a cuckoo clock. How bout Bill Mosley with his gun to a cops head for what seems like an eternity in House of 1000 corpses.

The final seen in Audition was great especiall when she starts removing the feet.:D

I also agree with the claigraphy scene in the eye, hiding the ghost directly in the shot was brilliant.

not intense

[Despare]

The abortion scene in Dumplings when you see it drop into the water... but as I'm typing it I find myself wondering. Was it intense? I don't know... I could delete all of this and think about it but I think I'll hit post instead.

[Despare]

Was it tense or intense? Anyway that was a VERY cool scene/choice and I liked it. For another intense scene where a cop gets it check out From Dusk Till Dawn (I'm sure most of you have). Kind of the opposite as it comes out of nowhere but it's immediate and very intense, I loved that part.

[Yellow Jacket]

I think you're starting to get the definition of intense wrong.

Definition for Intense (http://view.atdmt.com/DEN/iview/brstmwsj0010000018den/direct/098684?click=http://anad.tacoda.net/ads/ad12113e-map.cgi/BCPG47314.72937.81707/SZ=300X250A/V=2.0S//REDIRURL=)

And yes, rape does count as intense! I'm starting to believe that you're misinterpreting every thing we say that is intense. I mean, no matter what we say, it's not your definiton of intense. We all have different feelings of intense. I'm not trying to be mean or anything, just trying to help you out.

[darth rosenberg]

Scenes that made me say "holy shit" were Ghost Ship, pretty much don't have to explain which part, and the car crash in Final Destination 2.....of course I watched that 3 months..after I was rear-ended by a cement truck...so the scene really freaked me out! There so many really great scenes that make you WAKE UP!, but those two left me speechless.:eek:

The bath scene in I Spit On Your Grave. It hurts just remembering it!

[The STE]

the Long Walk in the Wild Bunch. Intense and sad at the same time

[noctuary]

Cutting Moments

I could go scene by scene, but I'll make it easy and just say that the whole damn movie is pretty intense. Seriously, if you consider yourself to be a gorehound, watch this movie and see how you feel about it afterward. The dead, completely empty look in the woman's eyes as she stares into the mirror is more chilling than a hundred slasher movies.

[Abominus]

Speaking of Watership Down, has anyone seen the movie adaptation of the Plague Dogs. Not overly intense but one of my favorites. (I have a DVD copy coming from ebay soon).

[sinistar]

That movie.. you know the one with Julia Roberts... all of them... well, I can't keep my food down with those scenes...
the horror... the horror.

The unrated version is even harsher. You actually get to see him stand up in the tub, spilling blood everywhere holding 'his package' or at least what was left of it.
Some intense scenes I can think of right now is the "Thing" scenes like the husky-alien-form, and where 'Copper' had his hands bitten off by the giant cavity from the Norris-chest-mouth scene, the Norris-alien-form, Norris-spider-head and the 'blood test' scene. :) Even 'Palmer's' alien form was pretty wicked, especially when his head split open and wrapped a tongue like thing around 'Window's' neck and chewed him up.

[Yeti.13]

Most intense rape scene would have to be in "Scrapbook".

Also "Flowers of Flesh and Blood". I was stuck watching it like a car crash, pretty bloody realistic. (For people who haven't heard of it, it is basically a bloke choppig up a woman for about 40 mins. The seacond and best part of the Guinea Pig series).

[Posher778]

People keep mentioning braindead... but I thought the most intense part was easily, without a doubt the

[Skeptopotamus]

The torture scene of "Audition" definitely gets my vote.
