The scene from Adventures of Mark Twain when they meet Satan is pretty creepy.

Was gonna post this. Terrifying.

"Life itself is only a vision. A dream. Nothing exists, save empty space and you. And you... are but a thought. "

Well, shit, Satan, this is a pretty damn depressing kids film.

Seriously though the design of Satan in that is a stroke of genius.

Legend? It had ...

Darkness

That shit will will scare a grown man for days.

 

[Hawkian]

Weird, I came in to say Constantine. Didn't expect to get beaten like 50 times.

Man, I didn't expect to both be beaten and have this post beaten. Weird day.

Burning Moon - "Descent into Hell" scene

It takes a while to load. It's so over the top and relentless in its carnage that you don't really have any opportunity to comprehend the obscene imagery. I can't get it out of my head :-(

 

[-ImaginaryInsider]

I have 45 second video of me with an ex...does that count?

 

[Oblivion]

Hellraiser 2 was kinda neat, I thought.

What Dreams May Come

Dear God how I despise that horrendous movie.

 

[hteng]

Already mentioned, but they very briefly depicted hell in this, but damn did they show you how messed up you'd be after going through hell!

shit was extremely disturbing even when it was just a split second flash. you see the captures by the end of this blog

yea it's an alien series blog.

The intro to Hideaway with Jeff Goldblum is quite an interesting take on heaven/hell.

Lots of good mentions here. Still, not enough praise for The Beyond:

 

[okdakor]

Yes! The Beyond is amazing. So hopeless and creepy.

My choice too

 

[Deleted member 81567]

 

[bitoriginal]

In the Mouth of Madness.

Okay, not a brilliant picture. Still, a good depiction of a personal hell.

 

[Flavius]

Lol, that ep is hilarious. St. Peter saying "Don't worry about your wife, She'll be joining you real soon!"

"Glad to hear it!"

I would say one of the more tone deaf eps.

Something's "tone deaf" around here, but it isn't the episode.

 

[F#A#Oo]

event horizon.

This.

 

[Bit-Bit]

I really like What Dreams May Come's depiction of hell.

 

[Replicant]

Oooh, what is "The Beyond"?

This thread also reminds me that I need to get "Constantine" on blu-ray. Love that film.

[gar3]

Came to say The Black Hole but Whifflebat already beat me with a link.

 

[Dascu]

On the psychological-horror/mystery front, there was a good depiction of hell in Carnival of Souls:

I also particularly liked the scenes where the main character experiences these episodes where she becomes deaf and everyone else ignores her, as if she doesn't exist. Very Twilight Zone-ish.

 

[big_z]

is it worth that robin williams movie worth watching? i remember seeing it a long time ago but dont remember anything but the car crash and flowers.


anyway NSFW Event Horizon

 

[mf.luder]

Not a movie but rather a play. I was very influenced in general by Sartre's 'No Exit'; "hell is other people".

Groundhog Day.

This is my dream world. I would fucking love it. I'm obsessed with time (or the lack of it) and this is the complete cure to that. Imagine the instruments you could learn, all the books you could read, the knowledge you can accumulate, you can fucking become anyone, do anything you want. This is as close to heaven as it gets imo. But most importantly whatever you get in this world you earn, you still have to spend enormous time and work which is the difference between this and the kind of heaven that just gives you everything just for being good.

Yeah, but you would have to go out and get a new guitar every day. And you couldn't go very far.

Of course it won't be good. It's a big budget tentpole blockbuster directed by Alex Proyas, and it has five writers.

Ha! Check out the guy in the middle once everything is on fire. He's doing what is sure to be the next big dance craze to sweep hip hop!

And yeah, when I read the thread title, I immediately thought "What Dreams May Come" and shuddered. If I believed in hell, that's gotta be close to how I'd imagine it.

[MeBecomingI]

Already been said numerous times, but the best answer is Event Horizon. The only depiction of Hell that legitimately made me feel uneasy and scared me. I usually laugh at most depictions and descriptions of Hell, but Event Horizon shocked me.

 

[mug]

Pretty sure being in the mind of a serial killer is definitely a hell of which I would avoid.

 

[Grisby]

Constantine's whole rust deal was awesome.

 

[Radec]

Effects-wise, Constantine's hell.

I liked Supernatural as well. So simple.

Welp.

If I had the budget and time, this would be my dream project. Satan in hell is probably my favorite poetry/imagery.

 

[planar1280]

all twilight zone tv episodes

 

[theinfinityissue]

This thread is exceedingly great. I'm always fascinated by any take on "hell" for some reason. I think it's maybe just the mindfuck I get sometimes when halfway through a hell scene I'll remember that this is what millions of otherwise rational human beings think could really happen to them if they play their cards wrong.

All the best examples I could think of are already posted. It's a shame that no one's thrown a billion dollar animation budget at dante's Inferno, that would be pretty amazing.

God damn, that scene fucked me up for a whole summer when I was a kid.

 

[rocksteady1983]

Bogus Journey's version of hell stuck with me pretty good as a younger kid. Those scenes really made me feel uncomfortable. Haven't seen What Dreams May Come or Event Horizon in a really long time.

 

[Melchiah]

Wristcutters: A Love Story

A film set in a strange afterlife way station that has been reserved for people who have committed suicide.

 

[Switters]

Jacobs Ladder (debatable but likely, as one must start at the bottom to reach the top)

 

[DJMicLuv]

On the more minimalist side:

Lucio Fulci's THE BEYOND

Yoshihiro Nishimura's TOKYO GORE POLICE

I find these ones particularly chilling, because of how simple they are. TGP's one is also the scene where you should realize you are watching a work of genius, if you hadn't already.

Was going to mention The Beyond. That was one of the most disturbing concepts of hell I've ever seen.

Tommy Turner & David Wojnarowicz's Where Evil Dwells - a 1985 Cinema of Transgression film - has a section set in hell which, probably due to the quality of the film (grainy, cheap) really rankled me when I first saw it... [starts around 4:00 in]

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gKWBVIkoLpU

Very disturbing.

 

[Maklershed]

Now that Constantine was brought up in this thread, I want to take this opportunity to say that Constatine was a big guilty pleasure for me.

I enjoyed the movie quite a lot and I don't even know why. All I know is that the ending is pretty epic.

I friggin loved Constantine. The part near the end when he tries to bring his tattoos together gives me the chills every time.
