7 Most Disturbing Movie Scenes

1. Velvet (1986) – Meeting Frank Booth

The first mildly disturbing scene in David Lynch’s Blue Velvet is when Dorothy Vallens catches Jeffery Beaumont hiding out in her apartment. One scene I care to forget, as much as I can. From what I remember it consisted of the crazy Dennis Hopper punishing the main protagonist's love interest in a scene that left film critic Roger Ebert with such a bad taste in his mouth he gave the film a mediocre rating.

2. Jack Ketchum’s The Girl Next Door (2007) – Final Torture Scene

The Girl Next Door tells the story of Meg Loughlin, a girl who comes to live with Ruth Chandler. Ruth is a seemingly proper woman in her neighborhood. In reality, Ruth is actually aiding in the delinquency of minors and a closet Satanist. Ruth ties Meg up in the basement where she is tortured both mentally and physically by Ruth and a group of children.

3. Sleepaway Camp (1983) – Final Scene

For the most part, the original Sleepaway Camp is rather tame. Up until the film’s final scene, you might actually find it pretty shocking that this horror/slasher even received an R-rating as most of the violence and language hovers around PG-13. Sure the film has some weird moments but nothing truly terrifying really happens. In fact, some of the antics and quotes from the campers are just plain funny.

The fun stops at the film’s end when we find out that camper Angela is a boy who was forced into living as a girl. In the film’s finale, the campers and counselors find Angela at the lake with a boy she had been seeing.The campers see Angela fully nude (exposing her true gender),severed head of her date to the dance in hand, while making the strangest sustained growl and holding the same face until the credits start to role.

4. Trouble Every Day (2001)

Not really a vampire movie, though it deals with the themes of lust and repression that are hallmarks for the genre, Trouble Every Day boasts two of the most awful murder scenes in movie history. They both begin as sexual encounters before turning into painful scenes of cannibalism. The final murder, between a man and a hotel maid is the tougher of the two. As Salon's Andrew O'Hehir puts it, the scene is remarkable for "Denis’ wrenching sensitivity to pain." You can't forget the screams of the victim. If a human were actually hurting human in this way, this is what it would sound like.

5. Inside (2007)

Viewers' jaws, already smacking the floor from Inside's previous oh-shit moments of gore, uncontrollably slink even lower once the intruder starts a-snipping; cutting Sarah's stomach open like a pumpkin, the psycho chick pulls the fetus out of the now-dead Sarah, and Maury and Bustillo show the whole thing, steady cam and all. Just one of the many reasons why Inside is arguably the best horror movie of the last 10 years.

6. Irreversible

Clocking in at 11 minutes long this has to be the most brutal rape scene in cinema history. Personally I’ve only heard about this one from word of mouth, one day, I may find the time when I want to see something that is tolled backwards with the brutal rape at it ark centerpiece. Until then I just  keep asking myself, is it worth it.

7.  Salo

The whole film.

Wow what can be said about this extravaganza of body mutilation, orgies and shit eating torture.

Pasolini’s last and more notorious film is about a bunch of Italian fascists during the last days of WWII taking their sadistic fantasies out to the fullest. They capture a group of teenagers and take them prisoner to a villa where they submit them to a series of brutal sexual requests that yes involve eating faecal matter and multiple rapes.

While critics will tell you it’s a representation of the corrupt political system in Italy at the time, one that Pasolini frequently spoke out against. That makes it no less disturbing to watch and will leave you scared and tormented as the credits roll.

7 Actors You Did Not Know Used Body Doubles

1. Mila Kunis had actresses moon for her


Mila Kunis happily revealed that she used a butt double for her nude scenes in romantic comedy Friends with Benefits.

The 31-year-old star - who shares several intimate moments with co-star Justin Timberlake - explained: "I showed side boob and I figured I can't just give away everything all at once... I gotta let it all out in little pieces here and there."

Kunis also shared the surprising process of locating the actress used as her derriere double, explaining that she, the film's director and her make-up artist held auditions in which applicants "mooned" them until they found the perfect fit.



2. Keira Knightley does top half, not bottom half


Keira Knightley divulged that she requested a bottom double for a strip tease scene in 2005's Domino.

"I have this policy in films where I say, 'You can have the top half but you can't have the bottom half', and it kind of works quite well," the actress explained candidly during an interview in 2012.

"And there was this scene in Domino where I was meant to do a bit of a strip tease and a dance with a thong on. A sexy thong dance, and I was just like, 'It's not going to happen'. And so I said, 'Could you get me a bottom please?'"

On the slightly awkward process of picking the right bottom, she continued: "So I went into a room with Tony Scott, the director, and these three women came in and just dropped their trousers and he was like, 'Well, which one do you want?'

"And how do you say to the bottom double, do you say, 'Well I don't want that one, that one's crap', well obviously you don't because the woman's standing there. You can't be rude," she continued.

"I was just looking for one that's around the same shape as mine, just a bit better.

"So there was one that was really amazing and I was like, 'No one's going to believe that'. You don't get a feel. They then go out and you discuss the bottom. It's tricky, you go, do I introduce myself or not, and it's a bit weird if you don't. The girl we picked had a lovely bottom."



3. That isn't Julia Roberts on the poster


If you didn't already know, you may be shocked to find out that the woman you think is Julia Roberts on the iconic Pretty Woman poster with co-star Richard Gere is actually just her face superimposed onto the body of double and model Shelley Michelle. Michelle also stepped in as Roberts's double in the romantic comedy's nude scenes.


4. Gwyneth Paltrow hates her butt



Gwyneth Paltrow insisted on a bum double for her naked scene in the Farrelly brothers' comedy Shallow Hal. Despite preparing for the role by using "the Stairmaster like 80 times a day", the star lamented about her own behind: "I hate it. It's not my favourite part.



5. Lindsay Lohan didn't swim topless with her (on-screen) mum



It wasn't Lindsay Lohan who went topless in Robert Rodriguez's Machete (2010) but a brave body double instead. Rodriguez and Machete's Danny Trejo confirmed that it wasn't Lohan's naked top half in the infamous pool scene with her onscreen mother, Alicia Rachel Marek's June.




6. Willem Dafoe wanted to avoid distraction


Willem Dafoe opted for a body double for the explicit sex scenes in Lars Von Triers's extremely graphic experimental horror film Antichrist in 2009.

And his reason?

"It would be such a distraction," he stated.


7. Isla Fisher was scared she wouldn't be funny anymore


Isla Fisher explained her reasoning behind hiring a body double for a nude nipple scene as nympho Gloria Cleary in 2005's comedy Wedding Crashers.

"I feel like if you have a female comic character and then you see her nipples, then she is no longer funny, which is clearly wrong but that was my theory and that's why I didn't want to do it," she said.

4 Improbable Horror Movie Plots That Actually Happened

Surgeon Deliberately Mangled Patients

In real life, Dr. Glen Tucker, a prominent Wisconsin plastic surgeon, inflicted horrors on his patients. In 1978, a woman went under Tucker’s scalpel to repair a broken nose. When she awoke to severe pain in her nasal cavity, Tucker convinced her to have a second surgery. This time, she woke to find herself in an operating room devoid of nurses and anesthesiologists. Only Tucker was present, and he was brutally ripping out her stitches with his hands. She would later find gauze left inside her nose, festering with infection. Her nasal cartilage was so mangled that her nose later collapsed.Another of Tucker’s patients with spasms in his left arm had surgery to repair it. The patient lost the use of his arm and later had to have his arm amputated. Still another patient wanted Tucker to augment her breasts. Three surgeries later, the woman’s breasts were infected and painful. During one office visit, Tucker plunged a needle into her breast without anesthesia. At another visit, he ripped a part of her implant out, again without pain meds. After yet another surgery, the woman found one breast shaped like a square and scars on both breasts so prominent that they looked like the stitching on a football.

Bloody Mary

Italian scientist Giovanni Caputo tested 50 volunteers by having them gaze at a large mirror in dim lighting for 10 minutes. After only a minute, most of them saw a strange, “otherworldly” face. About 66 percent of the participants saw a distortion of their own face. Another 18 percent saw the faces of animals, such as pigs, lions, and cats. Some saw complete strangers, such as a child or an old woman. Around 10 percent saw the face of a dead parent. And nearly half of the participants described the images they saw as “fantastical or monstrous beings.”

With the Caputo effect, neurons in the eye reduce or stop their signals when stimulation is unchanged, resulting in all or a portion of the person’s reflection disappearing until the eye blinks or moves involuntarily. Neurologically, the image is refreshed but not completely. So the mind fills in the image according to our expectations or experiences. If we expect Bloody Mary or the Devil, guess who suddenly appears?

Complicated Killing Devices

Boyd was a 36-year-old construction worker in Northumberland, England, who lived and worked with his father, Robert. In October 2002, Boyd asked to take a break from work until after Christmas. During these three months, he secretly built a guillotine over his bed.

In a wooden frame 2.5 meters (8 ft) high, Boyd mounted a blade, which was weighted with a paving stone. The stone was wired to plywood anchored into a block of wood at the foot of his bed. An electric jigsaw was positioned against the wooden block. The jigsaw was powered by a timer that could be turned on with a wall switch. The jigsaw would cut the wood, release the wire, and bring the blade down on Boyd’s head as he lay on the mattress. He also set up a contraption to automatically turn off the power so he wouldn’t be found immediately.

On January 8, 2003, Boyd took a dozen sleeping pills, flipped on the wall switch, and went to sleep on the inflatable mattress. Sometime in the middle of the night, the timer went off, and Boyd’s head was severed. As planned, the power to the saw turned off automatically.

At least 12 hours later, his father found Boyd’s body. There was no suicide note, so Robert could only speculate that his son was still depressed over the divorce of his parents 21 years earlier.

Zombies Among Us

For now, we don’t have reanimated corpses in the real world. But we do have different types of zombies. We’ve already discussed how parasitic insects, barnacles, worms, and even fungi can infiltrate another creature’s body andcontrol its mind.

For instance, the larvae of the wasp genus Glyptapanteles eat the insides of a caterpillar until they fully develop. Then most of them vacate to form a cocoon. A couple of larvae stay behind to operate the still-living caterpillar like a tank. If the cocoon is disturbed by a predator, the larvae force the caterpillar to thrash about violently, transforming it into a zombie guard dog.

In humans, a rare neurological disorder known as Cotard’s syndrome causes a disconnect between a person’s emotions and his recognition of people or objects. So the patient can look at his mother but feel no love for her. This emotional isolation leads him to believe that he’s dead. With little interest in the world around them, sufferers of Cotard’s syndrome must be reminded or forced to eat. PET scans of their brains indicate that they’re living in vegetative comas.

In Haiti, voodoo doctors may have injected humans with a neurotoxin—like that found in the deadly puffer fish—to create a handful of zombie slaves. These zombies are also susceptible to commands.

However, to introduce a zombie virus into the general population, Harvard researchers believe that we’d have to attach prions to an airborne, flu-like virus. Prions are irregularly shaped proteins that turn the brain into a spongy mush. Victims would develop a halting gait, lose the ability to speak, experience delusions, and become covered in sores.

In the 20th century, humans discovered kuru and mad cow disease, two prion-related illnesses with zombielike symptoms. A tribe of 8,000 in New Guinea became infected with kuru when they ate their dead. Although mad cow disease infects cattle, it can be transmitted to humans as Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease. The symptoms include slurred speech, balance problems, a jerky gait, rapidly progressive dementia, hallucinations, and psychosis.
