I am an unapologetic Horror movie lover. When it comes to the genre, I love the good, the bad and the very, horribly, disturbingly bad. Even though my wife is convinced I’ve become completely desensitized to cinematic violence, even I have to turn away every now and then. While I love a good gory movie, even I have my limits. However, there are some gory movie moments that I absolutely love.
Now I know there’s a lot of people out there that don’t love watching people being beaten to a pulp or disgusting shots of body parts flying across the screen. Yet, there are some moments when the gore just works. So, I’ve put this list together to help out all those gore haters out there… to hip them to those moments when they really need to peek through the fingers they’re holding over their eyes. Think of it as Gore for Dummies. Remember, these are not the best 10 gore scenes of all time… these are 10 that you have to watch.
Fight For Paradise Review: This reality show is nothing new but there are so many uncomfortable moments that will definitely give you the ick.
Bros Review: The series, as the title suggests, is about two adult men who want to behave like children and we are not here for that.
Going Home With Tyler Cameron Review: This is a simple, no-nonsense but cliched watch, with Cameron's boyish charms taking centre stage.
That one in Pet Semetary is brutal.
I know this is supposed to be a "beginners" list, so I'm sure this might not make it in there, but here are 3 that I find gruesomely disturbing:
1. "Hobbles" in Misery. That makes me hurt just watching that.
2. It's not a horror movie, but the scene in 127 Hours where he cuts his arm off is absolutely graphic and gruesome.
3. The wire scene in Audition. Definitely disturbing.
A lot of the scenes from the thing (1982 version) were pretty gruesome.
Although not gory by stretch or means - what about Luca Brasi's death in 'The Godfather' stabbed in the hand whilst been strangled from behind - eyes bugging out and grasping for air..
Or Billy Batts' death in 'Goodfellas' where Joe Pesci repeatedly stabbed him the car truck and DeNiro finishes him off by shooting him.
Not really disturbed by movie's gore. I know it's fake so something in my head stops me from feeling sick. When I watch real gore however, I feel extremely disturbed. I saw this guy who got his head cut off and then got the skin torn off his face which nearly made me barf and gave me nightmares for like 3 days.
Sorry to side comment, but wow guys, I don't think I could handle REAL footage. Just reading your replies make my stomach turn.
Anything with the achilles tendons getting cut or torn usually has me squirm.
