Paid Members Accident Prone Posted February 7, 2018 Paid Members Share Posted February 7, 2018 I'm not into torture stuff or bodily mutilation. At all. I've been known to avoid decent looking thrillers as the trailer will show a scene of a man being strapped to a chair and flashes of everything else that follows. It means I've probably missed a lot of great action flicks and tense as fuck thrillers and real good horror stuff, but i'm not risking it. I was at my Dad's once and he put on this film about Samuel L Jackson being an agent who forces information from a terrorist. I was faking phone calls just to get out of the room during the interrogation scenes. It's just not my bag. It's actually affected my modern movie watching; I only saw two new movies last year and they were Logan and Guardians Of The Galaxy 2. I used to love films, and I would actively try to watch as many as I could when I was younger, but now I feel like every movie has an 80% chance of throwing in some edgy torture porn. The amount of times I've gone to see a flick then out of no where some guy is shown having his dick cut off with a pencil...horrible. It's really put me off films, probably for good. I can deal with the first three Saw films, as they leave a lot to the imagination and the plot twists are enough to keep the film away from gratuitous graphic gore. There's an early story arch in the Preacher comics that involves a serial killer who cuts people up slowly. But it works because it only hints at what is going on and doesn't stray on the subject for too long. There's even a similar scenario in Batman: Black Mirror. It works because they use it sparingly. I love The Babadook, Sinister and Cabin In The Woods because they focus on what you can't really see and they rely on actual character work and building up suspense and tension. I'm starting to think like Lance Storm when it comes to movies. Bit depressing really. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members Jazzy G Posted February 8, 2018 Paid Members Share Posted February 8, 2018 There's a Mileena fatality in the latest Mortal Kombat that made me feel a bit uneasy. The second one in this video. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paid Members Your Fight Site Posted February 8, 2018 Paid Members Share Posted February 8, 2018 My stomach doesn’t often churn during “gory” scenes in films as I always have in the back of my mind “it’s a film”, but there’s a scene in Hard Candy (2005) that made me turn white.

One scene involved a bloke in Liberia getting booting in the head, stabbed and then shot several times. Fucking awful. It was their national front against a rival. It was like watching fucking Robocop or something. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it’s the most brutal thing I’ve seen, because of it you know, being real. Madness. I also watched a YouTube clip about 6 months ago of someone in one of those giant inflatable orb things... they were at a skiing resort. The wind picked up and the resort was up a mountain... my arse tightened and I shed a tear. No way were they getting away from the inevitable. People watched on and someone filmed it, absolutely heart breaking and a complete reality shock/slap across the chops regarding how pathetically fragile we are.

"This couple dismembered and castrated this man and documented the whole thing. They were arrested when they took the photographs to be developed at their one hour photo lab." Very smart killers, those two. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I imagine it's the same thing that saw a lot of video nasties get released, in that there initially wasn't any legislation around home video content - so if something was released on video without having first aired in the cinema, it never had to go through the BBFC in the first place.

These are all videos released in the mid to late 90s, so the BBFC had rated them as 18. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members BomberPat Posted February 9, 2018 Paid Members Share Posted February 9, 2018 Not a fucking clue then. Given that it was real footage that already existed, they could maybe some dubious public interest angle, or fall under different regulations than staged violence. Cursory search of the BBFC website found this, referring to what sounds like a similar sort of video, and makes it sound like they don't really have any hard and fast rules when it comes to "documentary" footage; http://www.bbfc.co.uk/education-resources/education-news/tough-watch-extreme-reality Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The scene in Jackass where Tony Hawks (I think it was him) got one of the regular crew to drink horse spunk for money was the cue for me to turn it off. Tony Hawks wasn't there, on the film at least it was offered to Chris Pontius who agreed to do it in exchange for one no questions asked refusal for any future stunt/gag. The worst bit of that was for me not the drinking of the horse jizz, but that after swallowing Chris says "That's semen all right". How does he know?

Stylin_and_Profilin Posted February 26, 2018 Share Posted February 26, 2018 The whole morbid curiosity thing actually seems to have went full circle on me in the last 20 years. Looking at Ogrish, Rotten.Com and the likes as a 13 year old when the internet was novelty - and sadly limited to offpeak 56k modem access at weekends - to dealing with a lot of stuff at work now which falls under similar criteria and you definitely become desensitised to a lot of that sort of stuff. That being said there are two things which i struggle with or simply won't watch back. One is the baby scene in Trainspotting and the other is the Bud Dwyer suicide clip. Ironically enough i had no problem watching the Trainspotting scene at the time but now i'm a bit older and a parent i can't bring myself to watch it. As for the Bud Dwyer cliip it was the first proper internet shock video or death video i had ever seen and it literally could not get it out of my head for weeks from the amount of blood loss (how is that possible?!!) to the body twitching it still gives me the chills, yet on the flip side i could sit and watch similar videos shared amongst the group chaps in WhatsApp these days without even blinking an eye.
