The most grapic and violent movies
Inspired by the recent issue of Maxim, I thought I'd make a post, where we can discuss the most graphic and violent films we've ever seen.
Here are a few of mine...
Ichi the Killer
I don't remember much from this film, but there's an unforgettable scene, involving a guy cutting his own tongue off. It's so graphic, you have to pause the scene just to take a deep breath and remind yourself it is - after all - just a movie. Eli Roth (director of Hostel and Cabin Fever) adds, "In another scene a woman's breasts are put through holes, and her nipples are sliced off."
Irreversible
There are tons of movies that make you wonder, "What's so shocking about this?" Irreversible is not one of them. Although it isn't as vomit-inducing as Ichi the Killer or Last House on the Left, this foreign thriller begins with the most wicked skull bashing you'll ever see. But that's not all. What really gives this Irreversible its controversial edge is the gut-wrenching 10-minute rape scene with no cuts. It's as hard to watch as it's hypnotic.
Last House on the Left
The movie's about two girls, who're on their way to a rock concert, but instead get abducted, raped and murdered. The rape and murder scenes aren't graphic like Ichi the Killer or Irreversible. Still, few movies make you feel this nauseous. "It's so low-budget, it looks like a snuff film," says Eli Roth. "The movie looks like they really killed people while making it."
Texas Chainsaw Massacre
Imagine stepping into a house ornamented with human bones, rotting flesh and carcasses that used to be your friends. Next thing you know, you're running away from a 300-lb chainsaw wielding brute in the middle of nowhere. I'm not talking about the remake, the sequels or the cheap ripoffs. Not only did the original TCM define the splatter house genre, but it is still the only one worth watching. Based on a true story, the movie convinces you that somewhere under the radar, terrifying, backward towns like this really exist.

Skull bashing is pretty intense.

Rape scene is definitely one of the most intense ones, though it's not very graphic in the sense that you do not see genitals clearly.
This movie is one of the most violent ones that I've seen and the rape scene is quite intense; however, I personally do not feel that no other movie can top this. This is because I watched the following movie:
Baise-moi
Rape scene
: Pretty intense, and it looks so real because you actually see genitals. It's actually hard to believe that this is just a movie. Rape scene in Irreversible is intense and very violent, yet you don't see genitals clearly or close-up, so you can tell yourself "This is just a movie after all." It's very difficult for you to tell yourself that when you watch Baise-moi because it clearly looks like what it is.
Violence
: Mild if you compare to other super-hardcore violent movies because two girls only use guns. There is no skull bashing, nor do they slice off p**** or n*****. But this is definitely one of the most violent movies.
Sex
: As real as it can get.
Rape scene stands out, and it's not something that I'd like to watch again, although I can watch the rest of the movie without much difficulty. FYI, the production team just couldn't find actresses who play two main characters. They finally found two actresses from French porn industry. That should tell you something.

À ma soeur! (Fat Girl)
I felt very unpleasant when I watched this movie. There is a couple of rape scenes, and none of them look nice, but the last one looks extremely unpleasant. Anaïs Reboux who played the main character "À ma soeur! (Fat Girl)" was only 13 when the director met her, so I'm guessing that she was just 13 or 14 when the film was made. She plays a character at around that age, so the rape scene means two rapes, regular rape and statutory rape. The idea of statutory rape isn't pretty, but the scene that she gets violated as she is being statutorily raped is quite disturbing.
(That being said, I kind of envy the environment that French people have. This is a kind of film that Americans cannot make in US for variety of reasons. US have freedom of speech, freedom of expression, but I sincerely doubt if any American can make a film like this.)

How did you come upon these films? Did you rent them? It seems like the only way to access the movies is via purchase.
Amazon has it up for 10 bucks a pop. I might pick it up with a few other things. Thanks for the recommendation.

I watched these two movies at different movie theaters.

Hmm besides Chainsaw Massacre, not really familar with any of the rest of them. I guess some of my choices might be more timid, such as Saw, Resevoir Dogs.
I am not really a big fan of over-the-top cringe inducing violence.

You might kind of like Baise-moi, but I tell you that quite a few people just walked out when I went to watch it at Cinema Village. They weren't very pleased apparently.

Hey guys, do you think Kill Bill is up to par with the violence and graphicness described in the thread title?

IMO, Kill Bill is nothing compared to movies listed. None of Quentin Tarantino seem
that violent
compared to these.

I don't think I've seen any movies that are super violent, but this terrible movie my friend made me watch, Devils Rejects, was pretty bloody.

Agreed. Kill Bill is more flashy than violent.
However, Quentin Tarantino's next work promises more guts and gore than his previous films. He's colluding with Robert Rodriguez for Grindhouse, a double feature - one from Quentin; another from Robert - with trailers of fictitious horror movies in between just like the olden days.

I see that Quentin Tarantino plays with the idea of "violence" rather than actually portraying violence realistically. For example, unless you cannot tolerate any violence in movies, violent scenes in movies like Pulp Fiction are funny. They're not malicious violence. They are either interpretations of violence or violence is used in order to express certain ideas.

I'd have to say The Hills Have Eyes was definitely one of the more violent ones.
