And..don't laugh, but the bit in Chitty Chitty Bang Bang where the Child catcher is trying to lure the kids shouting, " Lollipops". This was when I was a kid, of course.

shouldnt have turned over, quality film well worth watching.

I just watched that The Devils Advocate, that bit where he sees his GF or wife cut there throught had kinda freaked me out. Canth think off many worse things posible too see infront off you like that.

I'd have to agree on Irreversible being a touch disturbing!!!!

The "fire extinguisher" scene made me wince a bit (but I did rewind it and watch again to be sure!!)

"Videodrome" with James Woods is kinda weird/disturbing,

but then.....so are most films involving

"David "Deprave" Cronenberg, also known as the King of Venereal Horror"

There was a programme on TV a couple of weeks ago and it was looking at the "Gore" genre. Some pretty f**ked up stuff on there!!!!

"Cannibal Ferox" anyone????

Oh yeah...forgot this one!! PHANTASM.....scared the sh*t out of me when I was young!!!

They were surrounded, and dragged from their car by a mob of mourners, then they were beaten to a pulp and dragged/dropped over walls and barbed wire fences.

Later I believe they were shot in the head.

There was a black cab involved, that sticks in my head but I dont know why.

The footage was shot by a military helicopter, very disturbing.

Ive seen similar/worse scenes since then I think we all have, but they havent had the same effect, maybe it was my age at the time.

I remember that footage vividly. Pulled from the car, stripped to the waist and beaten savagely. And although there was no footage of it (thank God) you knew that they were murdered very shortly afterwards. Without doubt very disturbing, I can still see the images in my mind's eye.
