What knocks you sick in horror films?
 

I can deal with slicing of the eyeballs etc and most gory scenarios but I cannot bare to watch anything to do with pins under fingernails or achilles heels being sliced! Examples being Pet semetary with Gage slicing up his mums achilles tendons and Devils bridge ~with Old bill hobbling his victim.*Wince*!
Pins under nails at its worst is from the film Imprint.I actually had to watch that from behind a cushion and make gagging noises!
How about you?? what really knocks you sick?

Breaking limbs, especially with really well-done folly work. Ugh. Just can't stand it. Broke my ankle last year and when I hear it that's all I can think about.

Also can't deal with animals being hurt or killed.

.Urgh yeah!! greenstick breaks!! -retch!!I hate jackass etc because they wind up animals,theres just no need for it.

Non simulated animal cruelty-I think it's a lazy, unnecessary shock tactic and I try to avoid films with it in.

the lack of new original movies :)

no erm probably the creepy stalker characters, like the classic camera angles of the original Halloween, which captured a creepy stalker-esque Michael stood 30 odd meters away and often behind immediate items in shots. wouldn't say it knocks me sick more like makes my skin crawl.

Our own imaginations can create shocking things more than seeing the real thing. Like, if a guy is about to be sawed in half and they break away and all you hear is his screams, your imagination takes over and creates something way more worse than what could be shown. At least my imagination does. maybe I'm just a sick and twisted fuck. lol.

As far as what makes me squirm...when someone is about to be cut open and they slow the scene down and the dude who's doing the cutting is sharpening the kinfe and telling the victim what he is going to do to him/her, etc...then he gets down to business...the wait in itself is pretty grusome.

Totally agree with achilles tendons getting sliced!

When people have to break their own bones or popping things out/back gets me, too.

Anything near the eyes as well.

Burns as well. With pokers and the like...

People catching knives by the blades.

not a fan of the eyeball stuff


also puking....I almost want to puke myself

I am not a huge fan of the el puke-o movies either. i don't mind seeing fake puke, but when the real stuff is features it makes me wanna...well, puke.
