What's the most uncomfortable movie or TV scene you've ever seen?

[CrankyFrankyHoot]

Uncomfortable can mean anything, scary, sad, creepy, gory etc...

I was just watching AHS this afternoon, the Cult season and there is a scene with a nail gun (if you've seen it you'll know!).

I am really not a squeamish person but this scene just made me go cold, I was about to fast forward it before it finished.

It wasn't even the most gruesome thing I've seen on TV/a movie before but the whole idea just made me feel really uncomfortable and like I was really horrible for watching it if that makes sense?

Last Exit to Brooklyn is tough watching

Yes to Eden Lake, I’ve watched many horror films but this one sticks with me.

Also another horror movie I can’t remember the name of, but one of the main characters is pregnant. At the end she escapes in a car but gives birth at the last moment and crushes the babies head with the accelerator pedal. Makes me feel sick thinking about it.

Glenn getting killed in walking dead, havent been able to watch it properly since it was horrible

I came across Killing Eve for the first time a few months ago. I accidentally turned over and thought I’d keep it on to see what the fuss was about. Dear lord-I’m still freaked out by it now. It was the one with pig masks on, if you have seen it.

The fertility scene in Borat where his daughter is bleeding. So very wrong...

One of the scenes in the middle of Rob Roy. Those who've seen it will know exactly which scene I mean.

Several of the scenes in Se7en.

Countless scenes in Outlander and The Handmaid's Tale.

I've not seen This is England '86.

Glad you mentioned Rob Roy, I saw it at the cinema years ago but that scene made me want to leave, it felt done to titillate men and made np e feel sick. Why do they always put rape scenes in??

The film the boy in the stripped pajamas got me and don't think I can ever watch it again

@MistyGreenAndBlue

I genuinely feel that there is never a reason for any rape scene or films about rape. While women are generally distressed by them, I do believe that men's (with a few outliers) reactions range from indifference/desensitized to downright aroused. All these films do is normalise it. It needs to stop.

This might you feel sick, it does me, but a while back I was looking at reviews of Irreversible and in the comments section a ‘man’ was saying the film was bad because..... he was looking forward to the rape scene but it was too horrible so he couldn’t get turned on like he normally did at rape scenes

Ruth Fisher cleaning her sons body in 'Six feet under'

A few...

The metal bar sexual assault in the whistle-blower.

Sophie's choice, woman having to choose which child the nazis can kill.

The little girl being eaten in hannibal rising.

The eye drill scene on hostel

Gosh so many more

Oh, and...

Man bites dog

Yuck

A couple of the episodes from Luther

The one with the guy posing as the cab driver - particularly the final scene with the call girl - whoever he is he’s an amazing actor, utterly terrifying.

The episode that opens with a woman going home to her flat above a shop as she sits in her bed and the camera angle goes from onlooker perspective to what you just know is stalker-under-he-bed perspective and you’re just waiting...and then he silently slides from under the bed....

The final scenes in The Boy in the Striped Pyjamas.

'Nil by mouth'
The scene where Ray Winstone rapes his daughter. Its horrific and has stayed with me since I first saw it, in the 90's.

The one that always freaks me out is in Stigmata when she starts talking in the man's voice while writing on the wall. Giving me the shivers even now.

Rubyupbeat that wasn't Nil By Mouth, it was The War Zone.

A Serbian Film - DO NOT WATCH!!!

So. Hadn't seen nil by mouth until last night as it kept coming up on here. Top 3 horrific things I've watched I would say

I THINK it was Human Centipede 2 that that happens in-I have definitely seen that but I could be mistaken!

I am quite open minded and have seen plenty of films that are gory unpleasant etc. but the worst film which i eventually had to stop watching is
Snowtown - Australian film which is utterly harrowing

Mrs Peregrine's School for Peculiar Youngsters

I had to stop watching.

12 Monkeys, and Ghosts of the Civil Dead, which was so horrible I felt alienated from life (then-boyfriend had said it wasn't that bad. Yes it was).

I don't even understand wanting to watch most of this stuff, nor the point of making it.

Any sort of paranormal horror scares me so I avoid them these days but the scariest I've ever seen was Amityville 2 the Possession, it was terrifying.
Rape scenes are also horrifying to me, one of the worst was in a three part serial in the early 90's called Clarissa based in a book by Samuel Richardson, the title character is held down by two prostitues while she's raped by the villain, played by Sean Bean. It was a very good series though that was graphic.
