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.

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

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.

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.

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 ..
