Gross things you saw in a horror movie (spoiler thread)

For years and years I haven't been grossed out by anything in horror movies. Every so often though something still makes me squirm. Two recent examples:

i. The Dare on Netflix. There's a scene where the Leather Face character forces a woman to slice another guy's eyeball open... THEN he drops some sort of worm on the eye and we watch it burrow into the eye through the cut.

ii. I recently watched an old Final Destination movie that I hadn't seen before. A girl is doing a high bar gymnastics routine. The high bar is that bar that is set about 10 feet off the ground, and the gymnast spins around it doing various tricks.

In the movie, the girl is startled, she flies off the bar and when she lands her body and legs fold over themselves at horrific and unnatural looking angles. It's clear she broken her back, neck and legs... and blood gushes out of her too although I'm not sure what would have caused that. It happened so fast that I flinched with a 'holy s**t' outburst.

Anyone else?

The kitchen death from the first Final Destination movie.

Makes me think of that scene from one of the Naked Gun movies where all those things happen to OJ (I think it might be on a boat?) 😂

Fun fact: The final scene from this movie -- the one that takes place in Paris -- was actually filmed in my town here of Victoria BC in Canada.

Amy Smart's jaw-ripping scene in the bath in Mirrors (2008) is one that comes to mind...

Dayum! I haven't seen this movie but am gonna look for it now.

Karen Gillan's death at the end of Oculus was gruesome. Not so much to see, but to contemplate the manner of death.

Yes, that Oculus ending is a cracker, no doubt.

Re Mirrors, it gets a bit of stick in some quarters, but I like it. Kiefer Sutherland is great, as usual. And the abandoned, burnt-out store set is so good. I actually watched the Korean original on which it was based (Into the Mirror) for the first time just over a week ago, and although I enjoyed it, (unusually) I prefer the US remake.

I saw this scene from Fulci’s City of the Living Dead (1980) when I was a kid and was repulsed. I’ve heard this is where Tarantino got the eye bleeding scene in Kill Bill from.

Cannibal Holocaust had a few of them. Real animal mutiliation, corpse mutilation, war crime footage. I really didn't need to see that.

There were many gross/disturbing/ Hell-awful scenes in A Serbian Film

It sort of got so over the top that it plunged into gross-out jokes-level
humor but it all worked somehow

*this movie is not for everyone, it was very insane*

[–] Mrmojo4700 (21466) 3 years ago

I still haven’t watched that one because of it’s reputation.

[–] ShogunofYonkers (77423) 3 years ago

I thought it was excellent in that it accomplished exactly what it aimed for, a sexually violent and depraved revenge story with NO brakes pulled

It was bold movie-making and pretty nasty

Very simple and effective throat cut from The Prowler. The last few movements make it seem like he’s really trying to saw into her neck.

As an adult I've developed a pretty good tolerance for horror movie gore. But I still remember as a kid watching the 1964 movie, The Flesh Eaters, on Chiller Theater. The scene where the guy was disemboweled by the creatures freaked me out and I screamed louder than he did. Most 1960s films didn't show that kind of gore, especially when shown on Saturday morning TV.
