There are some movies that can be entertainingly gory, then there are some that can be unbearably redundant.
Which movie do you feel is the utmost brutal horror film.

While not wall to wall gore, Antichrist is a truly harrowing experience.

Tokyo Gore Police and Robo Geisha, in the last of these two movies even the buildings bleed.

A Serbian Film is the most disturbingly brutal movie I have ever seen.

Come to think about it there is one film which is more brutal than any I have seen, though it is not horror it is a documentary. It is about the Danish special forces soldiers in Afganistan. The kills are not that spectacular, the problem is that they are real. It makes an impact to see on a screen several people on a landing pad which the soldiers see on some camera they have sent out, and they send out a missile and all the little dots which where people are gone. Or where they are in a firefight and they shoot enemy soldiers. Or when one of them sit and talks about how he threw a grenade and missed his target but killed a little girl. The movie is brutal because it is real.
I did not like to watch it. I can watch any horror film and enjoy that because I know it is all make up and special effects. But I do not like to see real people get killed on screen, and real shot up bodies.
The movie is called Armadillo.

Sounds more like an exploitation film, rather than horror.

The premise of both sound pretty interesting. Are they good movies or just brutal?

I hated Martyrs as I've said elsewhere I do not recommend it at all.
Besides that "I Spit On Your Grave"(original), "Salo", "The Holy Mountain" and "The Devils" are brutal but have plenty of substance to them. What I like is that they aren't afraid to push things too far yet you could write a huge dissertation on them.

It is a documentary about the realities of life as a soldier in Afganistan. It is not horror, though it is brutal. The movie caused quite a stir as we up here in Scandinavia like to pretend that we are not part of any war and that what our troops are doing is just smiling and handing out cookies, people did not like to face the realities.

Ichi the Killer has a fair amount of brutality and is also an excellent movie. I'd recommend that one.
I watched the trailer for Psychology of a Knife and it looked pretty appalling.
I've already mentioned Irreversible.

Grotesque - the one from Japan is brutal as fuck..Also the August underground films..
Hostel 2 is up there can't believe I seen that in a shitty Irish cinema uncut. John Rambo is crazy brutal for a main stream Holliwood film too.

Well I disagree. And I recommend it. I am curious, did you watch with subtitles or English dub ?

I watched the unrated version in french with english subtitles.
Audition was pretty messed up, I thought.

I have heard some good things about Audition, especially the ending scene. And when we are talking of ending scenes, In The Realms Of The Senses you have a rather brutal ending.

Inside is pretty well done. Not much of a storyline at all, but it's enough. Well worth watching, but not for the squeamish at all.
Martyrs starts off really strong, but dies about half-way through. The whole premise is actually retarded if you take at least 10 seconds to think about it. I won't ruin it for you, but naming the movie Martyrs makes about as much sense as if they called it Pink Fluffy Avocados. Seriously. Just like there are no pink fluffy avocados in the movie, there are no martyrs either so it makes absolutely no sense. It's well done, but the plotline really ends up feeling like a very last minute brainfart attempt at giving a reason for the violence.

Couldnt agree more about martyrs, the beginning was intriguing but ends up getting very silly very quickly though if it had been called "pink fluffy avocadoes" I may have liked it more just for the creative title lol.
I would watch any movie if the title were Pink Fluffy Avocados.
