I remember feeling distinctly queasy during scenes from "Event Horizon". I was not expecting what I saw, and even though I've got a pretty strong stomach, I had flinched many times. The first Hellraiser movie was also quite gory, and the hooks in the skin really set my teeth on edge, especially the final scene.
Yuck! I've not seen many of the modern remakes, and I hear "Hostel (Films)|Hostel" is quite gruesome. My mind has already seen enough violence to last a lifetime, so I don't actively go topping it off with regular horror flick viewing anymore.
Too much real-life horror to try and cope with these days.
Hostel (Films)|Hostel 2 - memories of that bath scene have haunted me since seeing it.
Maybe I'm not what you're looking for in terms of "normal" movie watchers, but I've found that the goriest and bloodiest movies aren't necessarily horror movies. Hell, just look at most of Takashi Miike's work. As far as horror is concerned, though, look at Miike's short film Imprint in the Masters of Horror series.It's not the bloodiest or the goriest, but it's easily the movie that's made me shudder in disgust more than anything else with those needles.
Ugh. Even thinking about it again now is making me cringe and shake. Hell, it's got to be pretty awful when a premiere cable channel refuses to air it.
Dead Alive is certainly one of the bloodiest movies ever made--in fact, I think it may hold the record for most fake blood ever used in a film, but I'm not positive--though it isn't a particularly disturbing film despite this fact. Most of the violence is very cartoony in addition to being graphic. It's a very entertaining movie if you like the horror scene, and you get a glimpse of where Peter Jackson came from as a director.
I have a few: I thought the remake of the The Texas Chainsaw Massacre Films|Texas Chainsaw Massacre was pretty tough. Also, House of 1,000 Corpses and The Devil's Rejects|Devil Rejects were mighty hard to watch as well. Rejects may not have been super bloody, but the part where he beats that guy to death was pretty graphic.
Of course, you can't beat the oldies but goodies - the good old fashioned slasher flick from the 80's like Funhouse and Silent Night, Deadly Night. Those were so badly done, but had so much gore in them that it was just funny to watch! Good times!
Horror movies are nothing compared to actual "gore" movies, which is a genre in itself. Check out everything from Toe Tag Pictures. August Underground, Mordum, etc.Movies like that are disgusting, disturbing gore.
I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
