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?

The entire first half of the nightingale. All the worse because I'm sure things like that happened in real life hundreds of years ago. I couldn't finish it in one night, needed a few days break.

Also the tv show stalker- where the man was under the floor

Another uncomfortable one that makes me feel guilty for watching is in Truly Madly Deeply when Juliet Stevenson is weeping and snotty and blotchy and in huge close up for much longer than feels comfortable. It's relentless and you feel so sorry for her and so intrusive for watching, it's painful.

Boys don’t cry

Don't Breath...basically the whole movie but the spunk/impregnation bit made me feel gross.

That is too far for even a horror film.

The Visit...The grandfather shoving his shit filled adult nappy in the boys face.

Cannot handle the thought of that.

The Hand That Rocks The Cradle...molestation during a gyno exam/miscarriage scene/breast feeding someone else's baby.

I walked out of the cinema...first and only time.

I came on to say the rape scene in This is England. It's the only time I have been deeply disturbed by something I've seen on tele.
I suppose it was relevant and the actors obviously brilliant, but christ it was awful and really stayed with me.

@Okbye

The rape scene in Boys Don’t Cry.

Watched that movie once and vowed to never ever watch it again.

That was truly awful

As many others have said, the rape scene in This is England 86. Brutal but felt real, not gratuitous. I've never been able to forget it.

The rape scene in the The Accused with the pinball machine. Horrible.

A scene from 28 weeks later where Robert Carlyle's character kisses his infected wife in hospital, turns into a zombie and then kills her horribly while she is strapped down in a bed.

I watched it on a plane, fainted, and freaked out my husband and the cabin crew. Can't watch the film since, I had to wikipedia the ending.

The film Deliverance. The violence and attempted rape scene. It started by being a jolly lads away weekend jaunt and became horrific. It is an old film now (1972), Oscar nominated and is quite brilliant in places. I admire it as a film but I would never watch it again.

This.

Horrific.

Recently one of the last scenes of the first season of Ozark involving the priest - really disturbing.

Extended rape scene in the tunnel in the French film Irreversible, extremely disturbing, as was much of it tbh

A farm safety video we were shown in school, about year 6 I think. One kid drowned in a slurry pit, another was suffocated in a grain silo, one got impaled on tractor spikes... Etc. It was very traumatic!

I can't bear anything horror/gore now. Humans being so needlessly cruel and violent to others just deeply upsets me. I can't stomach it as entertainment, even if it's fictional you know things like that do happen.

That film Broadlands I think it is called, where the exorcists were trying to find out if demonic activity was going on. The ending, where they crawled into some kind of stomach, was sickening.

@Seriouslyconfused3

Can’t remember the name but a British film about a couple camping in the woods- they encounter a teenage gang and things get horrific. Scarred me for life

Eden lake I think it's called. With Michael Fassbender

@ifiwasascent I was going to say as well that scene in The Lovely Bones where she is attacked. Just awful

The black mirror pig episode

@I8toys

This is England 86 - characters father rapes her friend.

This

Agree about the rape scene in this is england 86 just truly awful.

@CrankyFrankyHoot that’s the one!

Yes! I must think about that film most weeks, on some level. More if I still lived in the terrifying countryside.

The rape and torture scenes in the final episodes of series one of Outlander.
