Memorable Torture Scenes
 

These are some of the most memorable torture scenes I've seen so far (and by memorable, I mean they were so disturbing that every detail remains etched on my memory and has caused some sleepless nights). Some of these films were very good, others not so much (I'll put an X next to the ones I disliked):

Salo, The 120 Days Of Sodom
Audition
Hostel
X The Devils
X Men Behind The Sun
Imprint (the banned episode of Masters Of Horror directed by Takashi Miike. The episode was flawed, but no torture scene has disturbed me quite as much as this one).

I have yet to see Shogun's Joy Of Torture and The Human Centipede; both look like contenders. Any others?

6/11 - Saw Human Centipede. No truly memorable torture scenes.

Have you seen Martyrs? It's a recent French film. I think it's worth seeing if you've got the stomach for it.

No I haven't. Thanks for the tip.

Definitely see Martyrs Wicker. 2 more good semi tortureous movies which are also French.....I think.....are Ils (Inside) and Frontiers

Saw Frontier(s). It was okay. Haven't seen Ils or Inside yet. I've really got to see Inside, everyone seems to love that film.

Yeh man you do. Awesome film... way better then Martyrs or Frontier(s) IMO.

Human Centipede is tame and not really disturbing at all.

Have been meaning to watch Joy of Torture 2: Oxen Split Torturing for awhile. Had a copy but it got scratched so I wasn't able to watch it. Teruo Ishii has some twisted shit in his flicks so your bound to find a lot of shit you're after in them.

The Devil's Experiment is worth a watch for the eyeball scene.

I've got Grotesque sitting on the shelf to watch which is meant to be jam packed with torture.

Oh boy, maybe I'll gather my courage and try a Guinea Pig film.

Its not really as hard to watch as people say. I got through it without really cringing at all.

"Ils" and "Inside (À l'intérieur)" are actually two separate movies. "Ils" doesn't really have scenes of torture, it's more of a psychological thriller, but "Inside" will blow your mind. Definitely a recommendation.

As some of you already menitioned, other cool French horror flicks are "Frontière(s)", "Martyrs" and "Haute Tension".

I was more disturbed by the intent behind The Devil's Experiment. It actually is torture-porn literally.

Flower of Flesh & Blood didn't bother me at all.
