movie scenes to make you cringe

[Turkov]

i did a search, didn't find this particular thread.

what movie scene makes you cringe?

for me it's from Casino with the baseball bats. for those of you who haven't seen it and want to, stop reading now because i'm going to spoil it:

i don't know why but i watched it just now and i don't know whether it's the violence, or the look of helplessness on pesci's face knowing that he'll be next, or the sadistic fucking smile that Frank's got on his face, but the whole scene scares the shit out of me. they beat pesci and his on-screen brother ALMOST to death with baseball bats, before stripping them down and throwing them into a hole in the ground to bury them alive. the brother's twitching, bloody to a pulp face being covered in dirt is going to haunt my dreams. well maybe... if i can manage to fall asleep. yeesh.

The thought of that exact feeling is why I havent seen saw. everytime I see the box in the store I look away quickly. Oh shit this makes me sound kinda ghey.

Ugh! that scene gives me nightmares to this day! That, and the ants crawling out of the hand...

[J. PETERSON]

the scene in Hostel where he slices that dude's achilles....

and a blast from the past....

Large Marge....bitch haunted my dreams for 10 years!

[patbattlefield]

its not a movie, but the scenes in prisonbreak where teabag was ripping his own hand off the radiator made me turn away from the tv.

[Razor Roman]

I always cringe watching the Honeymooners (TV), when Ralph feeds his boss dog food. How the fuck do you recover from that?

[Turkov]

i forgot about Jackass: The Movie. i can't watch any of the papercuts segment.

[LilJimmyRbinson]

i forgot about Jackass: The Movie. i can't watch any of the papercuts segment.

Ahhh...I've never even seen that movie and I just cringed reading that. Papercuts are the worst.

[Turkov]

yeah. like when they are on the webs of your fingers.....

[LilJimmyRbinson]

yeah. like when they are on the webs of your fingers.....

Stop it!

[WonkaVision]

bad boy bubby....whole movie makes me cringe....too many fat tits.

[jenzie]

anything with the breaking of ankles .....
like misery and audition
:shudders:

and could never watch the vomit drinking in bad taste ..... everything else, but not that!!

[Southtown]

I remember cringeing during the movie "Kids". Theres a scene where a girl is looking for a guy because she wants to tell him hes got AIDS. Meanwhile he is rawdogging some 13 year old virgin at a party. I just remember feeling like I was actually watching someone get AIDS, and I felt really bad for the girl like her life was ruined at 13.

[sniper]

Best cringe, the un-aired 13th episode of Masters of Horror called Imprint. The torture scene physically hurt me to watch, and I considered myself desensitized to everything.

[blee]

Teeth on curb - nuff said.

What happens?

[kloraferm]

Most of the scenes in Requiem for a Dream. Also the quick scene in Any Given Sunday when the guys eyeball actually comes out of his head and lands on the field.

[Fendbass22]

Teeth on curb - nuff said.

Definitely.



Many many moments in the Hills Have Eyes. Jesus. So glad I was stoned off my ass when I watched that so I don't remember anything too graphically. (note: I don't watch those movies often)

[Wrecktum]

Teeth on curb - nuff said.

Yup

[Hudson]

Spike through the sack from Serpent and the Rainbow

[sniper]

What happens?

Didn't wanna spoil it cuz it just came out, but there's a group of Japanese prostitutes, one steals something from the madam. They string her up with rope by her hands and feet and one woman has these long spikes, like oversized threading needles 5 inches big, and they actually show them being put under each fingernail, and into her gum line above the teeth so that her lips had to rest on the needles... first time I've squirmed watching something in a long time.

Ahhh...heeby jeebies! I thought you said it was unaired so that's why I asked. Not like I'm gonna watch.

[FAZ8218]

The scene in Swingers when Mike calls that girl Nikki 14 times after just getting her number hours earlier... I know its not scary, or gory... but still cringe-worthy.

[Turkov]

that's more along the lines of a douche chill. but close enough i guess.

[ChrisH]

The scene in Swingers when Mike calls that girl Nikki 14 times after just getting her number hours earlier... I know its not scary, or gory... but still cringe-worthy.

That is the FIRST scene I thought of when I saw this thread, you beat me to it.

Another one that really gets me is in We Were Soldiers when the soldier gets friendly-fired (literally) on a napalm run...when they try to pull him to the chopper his charred skin and muscle come off the leg in the other guy's hands....awful.

[Turkov]

oh shit. i forgot Irreversable. i despise rapists but i had heard that the scene was brutal. i have seen r*pe scenes before and i didn't really find them horrific. the montage in Sudden Impact was mildly disturbing but holy crap - Irreversable makes you cringe. especially when you see the man witness it but just walk out of picture. you want to scream at him to help her.

The **** scene was definitely disturbing....

but what about the fire extinguisher scene?
FUCKING SICK

[Razor Roman]

the albino dude in The DaVinci code flogging himself.... but worse than the whipping is when he tightens that metal thing around his thigh.. uuuuuuuuuuungggggh

[Sevenyars]

Going old , a 1966 western called Duel at Diablo. Dennis weaver gets tied to a wagon wheel and burned on a fire. You really don't see anything, but for 10 minutes he screams in the back ground. As a child this scared the hell out of me.

[MilitantRabbit]

This isn't a cringe moment, but it definitely creeped me out.

I rented End of Evangelion, and the scene where Third Impact happens kept me awake for the rest of the night and actually ruined the series for me. I refuse to watch Evangelion because of this alternate ending.

SPOILERS (if you haven't seen Evangelion, or have and want to keep the ending in your mind, don't read on)





When Third Impact happens, thousands of Reis swarm to every person in the world and disguise themselves as someone they trust. Once she has them let their guard down (or as it's known in the story, their AT field), they instantly turn into LCL (this yellow goop).

That crepped me out.

[fandango86]

Hostel - When he's got to cut that girl's eyeball off. Even typing it gives me the creeps.

[sniper]

Ahhh...heeby jeebies! I thought you said it was unaired so that's why I asked. Not like I'm gonna watch.

Yeah, between that scene and the throwing of aborted fetuses into the river, Showtime elected not to air this gem...


Another one that really gets me is in We Were Soldiers when the soldier gets friendly-fired (literally) on a napalm run...when they try to pull him to the chopper his charred skin and muscle come off the leg in the other guy's hands....awful.

Ack! Forgot about that one, definitely made me recoil.

[FAngel]

I'm in total agreement about the paper cuts in Jackass (I just fucking saw that last night, Steve-O is insane), the napalm in We Were Soldiers, the last 20 minutes of Requiem for a Dream and the raype in Irreversible.

The first time I saw the Exorcist and the girl stabbed herself in the cunt with a crucifix was a bit cringey, but now I"d probably be able to rub one out to that scene.

[ShavedLebaneseBear]

Well, technically he was ****** her, so I think she was going to be fucked up either way. I wanted to shoot everyone of those little fuckers in that movie, by the way.


For me the worst was the brain eating scene in Hannibal. The eating part wasn't bad to me, it was how meticulously Hopkins described the brain parts, and how fucked up Ray Liotta was acting. I had to take my jacket off in the theater, and I felt faint. I can go to Oggrish and peruse that site all day long, but for some reason that scene got to me.

you seen Saw III yet? :action-sm

[Chino Kapone]

i think the whole movie of the hills have eyes creeped me out. im not into gory shit. i sat through half of hostel and had to leave the room. i cant stand anything that is too tense or gory. i own saw 1 and 2 and still have yet to watch em, but my roomates have seen them both 2 or 3 times.

in how high where they dig up andrew jackson's body (or whatever president it was) and the blend the remains of his body and method man saws it up made me cringe a bit.

[tar_baby]

any scene from cannibal holocaust

[biga's basement]

Audition.

Crazy bitch, ankles and piano wire. Bad combo.

[abudabit]

As far as the non-violent cringe goes, you have to watch Happiness. That movie is cringe from beginning to end. It starts with Jon Lovitz crying at a dinner table in a fancy restaurant on a date, it ends with a mom making out with a dog who just licked up her sons semen. And there's a kid toucher in the movie too! And Philip Seymore Hoffman plays a wannabe rapist that can't pull off the act.

:runs to Netflix:

[westben2002]

jackass papercuts

yeah, i cannot watch this....i'll watch a guy get a car shoved up his ass

but i can't watch this part

[MrMotherFucker]

the hammer scene was the scene that made me cringe in Casino. It's been a while since I've seen it, but i remember there were a few scenes in Spun that made me cringe.

i'm surprised nobody's mentioned the yellow snowcone scene from Jackass

[Turkov]

i'm surprised nobody's mentioned the yellow snowcone scene from Jackass
i was going to but i felt like i had contributed enough to the conversation.

that's truly an awful moment in cinema. damn you, danger ehren.

on a related note, i just saw Jackass 2: Unrated comes out on dvd december 26. merry christmas indeed.

[mikeybot]

Uncensored Hellraiser 2 where the patient that thinks he has maggots on himself is given a scalpel and he starts slicing himself.

Zombie, where the girl's eye is punctured by a splintered piece of wood.

[Hudson]

The monkey and the table scene from Faces of Death..

[ShavedLebaneseBear]

you seen Saw III yet? :action-sm

Not yet, but I have seen the first 2. They didn't do much for me. I assume there is a "brain scene" in Saw3? With Hannibal, it was the acting, not the actual scene that screwed with me. I will have to check out Saw3 and see if I pass out, he he. I also need to rent Hannibal, so I can see if it still bugs me.

i think the whole movie of the hills have eyes creeped me out. im not into gory shit.

Just saw the unrated ending 'axe" scene from The Hills Have Eyes. It was really no different than any other slasher film, IMO. I need to see the whole thing though...

[Pubu]

Best cringe scene has to be in a movie called " Chaos " two guys are going to kill this black chick, when they strip her the one guy has her laying in the fetal position then slides a knife in her pussy and makes on big hole and fucks it.

[IRISHJERICHO]

Mysery(spelling?) When she breaks James Canns ankles with the sleage hammer.

[J. PETERSON]

oh yeah...but i wont explain it b/c i dont want to ruuuuuune it for you. I thought it was gorier than the brain scene in Hannibal.

[bloody hymen]

some scenes that creeped me out as a kid:

Pet Sematary where the kid slices the grandfather's achilles tendon

Terminator removing his eye in the sink

The girl get robotised at the end of Superman III...that for some reason creeped me out all to hell

currently i'd vote for teeth on the curb and the needle scene from saw II because i HATE needles.

[Turtle]

that time when the thing grabbed the guy and did that shit to him.

[25133WhooOoAH]

What about one of the last scenes of "Fire in the sky" the whole time travis is on that medical table and the aliens are fucking experimenting on him, makes me cringe....

I also agree about Casino when his brother gets beat to death is so fucked uop and the drag his body you can pretty much see the bones all broken and his arm is so loose its disgusting...and then pesci getting hit in the face the first time i saw that i was like WTF! I't looked so real but now when i watch it it looks fake lol but it still a gruesome scene.

Remember in the begining of Casino when you see Deniro get in the car and it changes to a dummy? its so obvious and stupid looking.......

[WhiteHonkyDevil]

Saw that in the theater, the few people that were still in the theater (after the first attack scene) almost cleared out at that point.

That movie was a piece of shit, though....who the fuck is afraid of Waingro?

Also, I worked at a theater when Casino was out. I got so involved in that movie, I started tearing up when Pesci was begging for his brothers' life at the end.

[Vyce]

The girl get robotised at the end of Superman III...that for some reason creeped me out all to hell.

That seriously traumatized me as a kid. I watched that movie on TV when I was little, because hey, little kids like Superman. I thought the movie was kind of boring, until the part where the woman gets turned into a robot. The way she looked freaked me the hell out.

[Hudson]

Ok Just saw "Freaks" for the second time...the ending, while non explicit, freaks me out..the armless worm guy with the knife in his teeth... freaky!
"Jacob's Ladder" memory flashes disturbing as hell, had bad dreams about it for years.
That scene from the "Dead Zone" where the guy grabs the back of his head and shoves his head onto the sewing scissors eye first.

[GLENN_THE_TOOL]

i remember bringing this up on WB before, but i recall seeing a scene from what i think was a movie on television as a child. i remember not being able to sleep for whatever reason, coming downstairs to tell my parents, and catching this scene on TV. i don't even know if it's a movie or not, but it involves some creature that looks like a long turd and it comes up out of the toilet and is crawling around on the floor of a couple's bedroom and the couple doesn't know it's there. so the woman leaves the room and the turd creature "attacks" the guy by going into his mouth and down his throat, choking him. he's gagging and grabbing his throat, the girl comes in, sees this turd thing sticking out of his mouth, and she's screaming. weirdest, sickest thing i can recall seeing.

[kloraferm]

The girl get robotised at the end of Superman III...that for some reason creeped me out all to hell
Shit, I remember seeing that as a kid and it totally freaked me out. I don't think I've seen it since, but I'd bet if I watched it now it would just look cheesy and stupid.
that time when the thing grabbed the guy and did that shit to him.
Yeah, that was a bad one.

[Turtle]

Yeah, that was a bad one.
I still have night terrors about that scene, I'm glad that I am not the onlyone who was freaked out by that film.

[NotSoFast]

Recently, the torture scene in Casino Royale. I caught myself squirming a bit in my seat.

"A little to the right".:erstaunt2

And there's a kid toucher in the movie too! And Philip Seymore Hoffman plays a wannabe rapist that can't pull off the act. PSH's "phone sex" lines are among the best things ever recorded. "Are you wet? Is your pussy all wet?"

[BikiniTini]

I say curb scene as well...If not, Hellraiser...the uncle's end scene...

[GrimSanity]

have to say audition. the parts where is she is spoon feeding him shit and vomit gets me all the time.

[bigbill]

What is that movie where that guy takes the homeless man's cake and freakin jumps on it ... damn I can't remember the name.

[Danesy]

OK, I have a couple....

- The slicing of anyone's achilles (Hostel comes to mind)
- The scene in Requiem for a Dream when he tries to shoot up in his arm while it's getting gang green (drug, or addiction movies in general freaked me out... I find it really hard to sleep after watching them, Leaving Las Vegas I couldn't sleep for 2 days after that... I don't know why!)
- I saw the episode from Masters of Horror that someone mentioned on here, I think I saw a millisecond of that torture scene... really hard to watch.

And on a closing note I will think of more... this is a great topic... love this shit!!!

[Trippy]

Star Wars ep. 1-3. Ruined the series.

I cringe thinking that I paid to see them.......

And the Reanimator where the headless scientist ties a girl down and he strips her down and licks her as the decapitated body guides his head. Oh wait that was hot.....nevermind.

[generoso]

John Waters Film, Pink Flamingos. The whole movie is pretty cringgy, But when the guy lays on his back with both ass cheecks spread wide and I mean wide. He starts doing Karaoke to the "the Bird"with his open asshole opening and closing. Ever sense than I can not listen to that song.

[Miss Abooty]

The only ones that come to my mind are when the guy in the first Saw movie saws his own foot off and in Jackass 2, when Steve-O put a fish hook through his cheek. They both made me cringe :icon_eek:

haha episode 2 is the ultimate douche chill movie.....

and Reanimator is Classic! :rolleyes:

[Darth Mode]

Holy Shit Dude! When I first saw that scene from Pee Wee's Big Adventure it freaked me the fuck out too. I was about 7 or 8 years old when I saw it. Scary shit at the time.

[Valk]

At the end of Braveheart when they lop off his pecker. For me the movie ends right before that scene.

[J. PETERSON]

The only ones that come to my mind are when the guy in the first Saw movie saws his own foot off
the scene in the 3rd one is worse in my opinion....

[kloraferm]

The fingernail breaking scene in Stir of Echos
