While not that graphic (in terms of blood and gore) Loopers torture scene was nothing short of terrifying,

The Marathon Man (1976) dental torture.

My vote go to these two:

GAME OF THRONES SEASON 3 SPOILERS!!!

Spoiler

This one always got me because they did it right after teasing a threesome to him so he was fully ready, so to speak. Dude is in a state of perpetual phantom blue balls.

 

[thesoapster]

Sympathy for Mr. Vengeance really got me. the physical torture isn't even that explicit, but all the emotions of the victims that comes with it made it hard to watch.

Definitely this.

Spoiler

the electrocution scene... Gah

 

[delta25]

Zero Dark Thirty . Because it just felt so fucking real.

 

[SolidusDave]

watching this with a female friend and not getting any sex out of it

It's called Failure to Launch, really now, what did you expect to happen?!

 

[Zee-Row]

I regret reading the MGSV spoilers but i have to ask. Is that stuff done in good taste or is it just for shock value?

 

[FTF]

Everyone should watch the movie, I didn't like the ending though.
Spoiler Ending:

Spoiler

Him using the remote and rewind time kind of ruin the story for me.

I only saw the shot by shot (I think?) remake he did 10 years later (which was pretty good), but yes, that was a very frustrating part (but I get it).

 

[dapperbandit]

The scene in Payback with Mel Gibson where he's tied to a chair and a guy smashes each of his toes with a hammer. Nasty shit.

The film that effected me the most torture-wise though was probably

Spoiler

Brazil

You don't see it but

Spoiler

essentially the last twenty or so minutes, during which you think he's been rescued, is just his imagination as he's tortured into insanity. It's just unbearably sad and crushing, I've hated bad endings in movies ever since

 

[Rug Monkey]

The hammer scene in Kill List (do NOT watch if squeamish)

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0wCLKLpjfFI

It's the 'thank you's that get me. Reason:

Spoiler

the victim is the Librarian for a Satanist group and welcomes a brutal violent death because of the evil it generates for the group, and because of what it does psychologically to the torturer

 

[ChubbyHuggs]

Yeah, not graphic persay but some thought and it's the worst thing ever. Ugh.

I don't watch a ton Of violent movies, but anytime a fingernail is ripped out I have to cover my eyes.

I'm looking at you, Supernatural.

Stir of Echoes always made me shudder uncomfortable when the rape scene popped up.

 

[abstract alien]

I regret reading the MGSV spoilers but i have to ask. Is that stuff done in good taste or is it just for shock value?

It's not nearly as abrasive as reading it in list form. The whole thing is done is a well executed manner, with a few notes probably being overlooked by players who aren't paying attention.

 

[Jarrod38]

How could we forget about Hellraiser.

 

[Ridley327]

I could pick just about any of the torture-murders depicted in In a Glass Cage, but the one that managed to burrow deep into my skin is the one that involves the choir boy. It's not a movie that's excessively violent by any means, but the fact that they have an adult actor so menacingly caressing an underage youth on camera is horrific enough in of itself, but it's also a fairly lengthy scene on top of that, which leaves so little to the imagination that you have to wonder how it wasn't brought up on child pornography charges. The climatic throat slitting is practically a godsend with how unnerving everything that came before it was.

 

[Zero315]

Jack Bauer torturing

Spoiler

the guy who killed Renee

was absolutely brutal. I'm shocked it made network TV.

Hannibal: lol

The last episode of Hannibal had someone

Spoiler

sown into a horse carcass alive

as a lesson in empathy.

Really, you could have just said pretty much this whole season so far. There was

Spoiler

the guy who got sewn into a giant mural of dead bodies, only he wasn't dead so he had to tear himself off. Cutting off Gideon's leg, then feeding it to him. She wasn't conscious for it, but what he did to Beverly was pretty fucked up, I'm not even sure how to explain it. Then what the insane hospital worker did to him for Will. This was last season, but he fucking hypnotized Will and put a tube down his throat to force feed him someone's ear! Let's also not forget how fucked up the whole possibly feeding human meat to his friends thing is.

It's all very horrific, but really beautiful... I know that sounds weird, but if you watch the show you'll understand.

 

[speculawyer]

watching this with a female friend and not getting any sex out of it

I like this post.

 

[Gabriel_Logan]

Movie gore and torture used to bother me, until I read up on real torture like impalement and the boats. Nothing in movies comes close to that shit. Though the scene in Looper is actually really unsettling and got a rise in me I hadn't felt in years. Very well done. Matyrs is also kinda disturbing.

 

[plasmawave]

Made me cringe. Casino Royale.

Hannibal is tenderizing them for later cooking.

 

[Outlaw]

Blood Eagle from Vikings

The blood eagle was a method of execution by torture. It was performed by cutting the ribs of the victim by the spine, breaking the ribs so they resembled blood-stained wings, and pulling the lungs out through the wounds in the victim's back and putting them on their shoulders.

Was just about to post this. This shit was used for real, and the show shot it so well.

 

[Dead]

The scene in Bioshock Infinite Burial At Sea

fucking traumatizing, holy shit

 

[Dogg448]

Even though we never got to see him get tortured the thought of it happening leaves me with chills.

Se7en sloth

 

[Succinct Verbosity]

Fuck yeah. I watched Se7en way younger than I was supposed to and the sloth scene was the first scene I remember truly terrifying me from a film.

 

[TwoDurans]

Are we sure the

Spoiler

second bomb in Paz was a snuke?

I don't think that was ever confirmed.

 

[Vibranium]

Michonne's torture of the Governor in the comics, I was shocked for more than a day by that one. Damn, it was insane.

Also, while I laughed at Bond's quips, I seriously did cringe at the Casino Royale scene like some other guys. Just the thought of the rope...

Jack Bauer's many interrogations get pretty crazy too, I would say one of my favourites was his S2 psychological torture of a terrorist who assisted with a nuke. He

Spoiler

faked having another country's agents killing the guy's kids but made it look so real. The actor who played him really sold the agony of a father well.

 

[umop_3pisdn]

Made me cringe. Casino Royale.

It's ok if you're into the idea of a 2006 Daniel Craig sitting naked in a bottomless chair tho, distracts the mind from the thought of your testicles being pummeled.

I've never seen it. What did they do exactly?

 

[Instro]

The Marathon Man (1976) dental torture.

Is it safe?

 

[Baraka in the White House]

I've never seen it. What did they do exactly?

Spoiler

Sit him down naked onto a wicker chair with the bottom cut out of it and repeatedly thump his nuts with a heavy knotted rope.

Not brutal in a gory sense but unimaginably painful.

 

[luckyboyceo]

Most torture is done off-screen and yet Haneke's Funny Games (1997) is tough to watch.

Yeah, this was a tough one to sit through.

Yikes!

 

[RadioHeadAche]

Also what Michonne does to the Governor in the Walking Dead Comics.

Uh yeah. That was unpleasant to read.

 

[Nori Chan]

I really regret going into this thread and searching google for things like this.

Saw the silent hill monster skin a women and then some women get her teeth drilled out, have her stomac cut open, and then choked by her intestine that fell out.

I hate gaf right before I go to sleep too

 

[The Smoking Bun]

I regret reading the MGSV spoilers but i have to ask. Is that stuff done in good taste or is it just for shock value?

It's more Irreversible than Human Centipede and even then most of it is audio

 

[Fevaweva]

Another 24 scene, it is also in season 2:

Spoiler

Jack Bauer gets tortured by the men who work for the bloke who wants there to be a war. He is cut with scalpel blades coated in acid(?) and burnt with soldering irons.

Shit was nasty.

 

[double jump]

A lot of stuff has been posted already so I'm going to mention The Girl Next Door.
These two girls get sent to live with their crazy ass aunt and things go from bad to worse. They literally get medieval with a blow torch on the oldest girl. A really hard watch.

Nothing, and I mean nothing compares to the torture that Picard experienced throughout his entire prisoner ordeal.

This gruesome chunk is only a small part of the ongoing ritual in this violent chapter.

 

[Juz]

Watched Only God Forgives last night.

It had a pretty gruesome torture scene.

 

[Sarcasm]

Any video of the MGS one? I can' t believe that even exists.

 

[dan2026]

Its all audio files.

People are blowing it all massively out of proportion. Its not even that grim due to Skullface's terrible voice acting.

 

[Patrick Bateman]

Passion of Christ had some nice torture scenes. Especially the whipping when they counted in Latin.

Its pretty messed up.

Even more considering its kind of un earned out of nowhere, and no kojima has to earn that with phantom pain.

Anything can happen in Guantanamo. Nothing has to be "earned".

 

[SargerusBR]

Casino Royale Chair scene is brutal to watch

 

[Village]

Anything can happen in Guantanamo. Nothing has to be "earned".

Yes yes it can.

handling a subject like rape poorly can ruin series, so yes,
It has to be earned. He now has to not only explain his self, his intentions and why the universe of MGS got so dark all of sudden( or at least way darker than it was., espically after mgs 4 a game all things considered that was actually pretty effing silly. It had you fighting your borthers ghost possessing on of your clone dad's stans on the top of a thing while at any moment he could grapple you and kiss you) . He must now explain skull face, if he fails at that, well he Kickassed- SAO'ed, however you wanna name it.

Earned, you can't just throw rape and a thing and yell, " now it has tension " that can fuck your whole operation if you do that poorly.

 

[MacNille]

Watched Only God Forgives last night.

It had a pretty gruesome torture scene.

I find it to be a toture to watch that film.

 

[| Praxis |]

Casino Royale Chair scene is brutal to watch

That was pretty bad, but the testicle crushing scene in the film The Devils (1971) is pretty horrific.

Couldn't find the actual scene.
The Devils
