Which was exactly the point of the movie, since its maker clearly stated out that it's about the apathy that, from his point of view, has befallen the population of Denmark. How much of that is actually true, I cannot tell.
@@Inkompatibel As a Norwegian I recognized most of the traits of the Danish couple: Overpoliteness in the face of unacceptable things, being laughably non-confrontional, always thinking "we must be the real assholes", etc. Seen as a grim satire I think it works quite well.
You're so right, I'm with you there, but after some more digestion of Speak No Evil, I realized these kidnappers/murderers did their homework and took their time to pick out a couple like them, that won't fight back. I'm still traumatized 🥴
Films, not specific moments... 10, Speak No Evil 09, Gerald's Game 08, Evil Dead Rise 07, Dagon 06, Eden Lake 05, Smile 04, The Tortured 03, Men 02, The Sadness 01, Midsommar
Speak No Evil was bleak for the sake of being bleak. The couple was not powerless. They resigned themselves to what was happening. Its clear when the antagonist says "because you let me". This scenario is terrifying but I would hope any parent would die trying to defend or save their child rather than going out with a whimper.
Oh, absolutely. There's just no way that I would stay with some random family in the first place but ESPECIALLY with my child with me but to just get out the car and just accept it? No. At the very least we'd all four be dead
Really scathing commentary on the results of being tolerant of the intolerable. Although foreign, the movie reminded me of every affluent, liberal American family who refuses to take a stand for what's right for the sake of comfort. Brilliant movie.
I see the movie as a commentary/satire on Scandinavian PC culture. I loved how it played on the "emasculated male" stereotype we've got up here. We're so used to living in one of the safest spots in the world, some of us would definitely go into shock if we encountered such villains.
@@thehitherto5348 Well, I can't Imagine that kind of thing happening where I live, I am in Europe, but here people take no sh*t from anyone...Even for the smallest insult one can be beaten into a pulp... Sometimes that can be bad, but we sure stand for ourselves in this part of Europe.
@@ozymandiasultor9480 Precisely! In this movie patience and politeness is NOT seen as a virtue. It's basically a cautionary tale saying: "See folks? This is what happens when you can't stand up for yourself." It's exaggerated of course, but the non-confrontional attitude of the Danish couple felt just embarrassingly familiar.
I've seen Hostel 2 many times, but after the first time I always skip past the Lady Bathory scene. The gore is rough enough but Heather Matarazzo's acting is just way too realistic, and you can feel every bit of her character's pain, fear and desperation.
The most difficult horror movie for me to ever watch was actually a tie between The Last House on the Left or I Spit On Your Grave. Both were utterly gut-wrenching and I could not even convince myself to watch them again. The Sadness was the first ever horror flick I couldn't stomach or sit through after the first thirty minutes (old woman with the vat of oil) and I never went back...
Yep. I knew all about I Spit on Your Grave when I watched it, but it still wasn't enough. The r*pe just went on and on and on. I think it's a brilliant movie, but a tough, tough watch. Laxt House makes you feel like you need a shower afterwards.
I do not really watch these kind of movies anymore. I have seen them. I do not like the drawn out violation in them. It is unnecessary to get the idea of the violence and disgusting act. If i did watch now, i always skip past that part. Even if it means missing half of it. I am watching a french movie right now called seven days. The s.a. murder victim in it is only 8. They only show her clothed body which gives you enough to know what the poor kid went through. No unnecessary gore, nudity, violence or vastly inappropriate content. This is about the mothers revenge on the monster who did that to her daughter. There is no need to focus so much on some stuff to get the idea of how awful and disgusting it can be. But the revenge is so sweet and awsome to watch! The only part to watch.
Eden lake is the one that stayed with me. There’s something about it that’s just so real and so felt. To feel it slip away and to be trapped that way is horrifying to fathom. Plus you got people that know it’s wrong all being immediately disarmed and nullified, you would feel really alone to be pulled in that bathroom. And then what?!!?? Horrifying.
Irreversible is one to put up there between the club scene and the subway scene, I can’t with that movie. I’d also add The Hills Have Eyes with the trailer scene, Hostel with the eye cutting scene and Wolf Creek 2 where the final guy gets terrorized in Mick’s layer.
So glad others mentioned that scene in Mirrors! Super brutal and should be on this list. The other scene I would class this way is the face ripping scene in Dagon, which is on the list. I have seen many, many horror films and these two are among the few that actually make me cringe.
@@choshow86 definitely overhyped, although i did enjoy the setting and acting of the mom in this one way more than the 2013 one. i wish they would've gone as far with the violence and special effects, it could've been so good:/
When I saw the de-gloving in Gerald’s Game I thought that’s the worst, makes my legs feel like jelly. Oh, Eden Lake! That’s it. This list can’t get worse…….. THAT scene from The Sadness. That’s fine. I didn’t want to sleep tonight anyway.
I still don't understand "The Tortured"...... How can you not know the face of your son's murderer?? I mean the couple were in court with the killer. So how could they not burn every part of his features into their minds?? I mean.... Seriously, I still don't get it.
I’m surprised they didn’t even mention what happens to the daughter at the end of speak no evil before her parents even die. That tongue scene is so hard to watch
Recently saw a video about how the imagery at the beginning of midsommar subtly reoccurs throughout the film and lol that shit really sticks with you. The type of scene that makes me reflect on all my relationships with loved ones.
@@jeremyblackwater439 She chops one or both feet off with an axe. It's been so long since I read this both before and after misery was made into a film. The book hit me harder than the film as you couldn't recover from losing feet 🤔👍🐾💜
@@mychunkyjordi7585 yeah that sounds awful. And I agree books always hit harder. I guess because you read it and process it with your own imagination. Thanks for telling me…both feet huh 😔 🤢
@@jeremyblackwater439 not sure possibly just 1. I was 21 when I last read it and I'm now almost 47. If you Google it you can find out but check out the book. It's one of Kings best 👍
2:53 Gerald's game was insane, I loved it. And it really is terrifying to be chained to something and not be able to get out, I accidentally got myself chained to my bed by the wrists with a choke chain and a padlock. My mom had to break one of the links and then we had to go to Lowe's to get bolt cutters, I was a really stupid kid now wasn't I? 😂😂😂
For me, the hardest scene to watch in Men was when she's oblivious on her computer while the naked green man is seen lurking through the window. Very real fears being conjured there
I love that movie, Bonkers ending. I think a woman watching it will have a more uncomfortable time watching because we put ourselves in her shoes. I found the priest the most creepy but the scene that got me was the tunnel scene. It started so beautiful and playful with her singing but when he starts to chase her. I was freaking out along with her.
One of the best French horrors ever made. How do you feel about the face and eyes the old lady takes off in Hour of the Wolf? That’s gotta be up there too.
Okay, we get it, you love Eden Lake, you don't have to put it on every Top 10 horror list. The wood splinter through the eyeball scene in Zombie could have replaced that.
For me the most hard to watch scene was in Feast 2, where a baby is brutally killed fist smashed onto the pavement and then eaten by one of the creatures, it was so graphic and upsetting that I did not finish the movie after that scene, I took the dvd out and threw in the trash.
There were ppl who thought that movie was funny but it makes me want to be sick everytime I think about it. The way the baby is just crying softly after it hits then ugh.
The only horror movie I couldn’t finish was I spit on your grave to keep it short a woman is brutally sexually assaulted by like 5 guys the scene goes on for like 30 minutes too
Before I go ahead and remind myself of what was in part one of this series, I nominate the torture/castration scene in Hard Candy. That's an intense viewing experience if ever there was one.
How many times is WhatCulture say the same movies? Nothing of Ari Aster crap is a hard watch, except getting through how overrated his crappy films are.
As a big horror fan, and someone whos pretty desensitized to gore, i must say the sadness for me felt like it was depravity for the sake of depravity, one of the only movies that have made me that uncomfortable to watch in a long time
Agreed. I like that sort of thing tho. I'm autistic so when I have trouble reading tone and such, overly dramatic content and content with every emotion turned up to 100 is very helpful and entertaining when I'm having a hard day and don't want to decode neurotypical media! ❤
I am desensitized, but chose to skip it. RU-vid has people who watch it and tell me what happened. Im good with just that. I think it is spookyrice i watch. Plus there are many others.
Cody stone Those comics are sooooo fucked up. I saw vidoes about them. The guy that used to cover them is not on youtube anymore with them due to the nature of it. He showed me enough. He was a good dude. He did live chats and was.good about answering people, including introverted shy me.
Just saw Evil Dead Rise and I truly wonder what all the hype was about involving the cheese grater scene, I scraped my knee worse than that as a kid. It was an OK horror flick but for me not worth the hype surrounding it.
Speak no evil is so overrated, the family is just so incredibly stupid. Ik it’s about going along with things to be nice but they’re just so idiotic it ruins the film
Evil dead didn’t lean on cgi it was almost entirely practical and they only used cgi to enhance the practical effects But the cheese grater scene was nothing special at all
i have never seen a Serbian Film in its entirety and i never want to. i cant, i think thats about the only horror mobie (to all my knowledge of current horror movies) that i NEVER, EVER want to see the entirety of. ever. even an informational video on the contents of said movie was so hard to stomach.
What I found out was how those people are. That was a commentary on them. Their polite they never usually raise their voice and are not good with confrontation. Or at the restaurant PDA. The whole movie besides the horror was about was how different the couple was to the killer couple that's what made them the perfect victims. I think that was a big part of the movie.
Kind of annoyed by how much Midsommar ends up on lists and at the top of them as well. And above the Sadness? You've got horrible things being put in an eye socket, brutal torture on a man for the wrong reasons, and slow de-gloving all on the same list. Yeah, the family part hurt, but it's not like that's anywhere near the first time that's been in a movie.
One of the most squeamish moments I remember was from one of the Reanimator movies, when an old reanimated headless guy is leaned over a naked girl and licks her. Ugh….so nasty
For me, a moment worth noting for this topic is the scene in Final Destination 3 when the girl at the hardware store gets the nail gun going off into her head over and over…The way her body jerks each time it fires and the weak, pained whimper she lets out when it finally stops just turned my stomach over. I felt so bad for her. Another would be in Hostel when Paxton had to cut Kana’s damaged eye off. I can never bring myself to look at the screen while he’s using the surgical scissors to sever the optical nerve. Urgh.
If you really want to see a sick movie that doesnt leave you. Watch Soft & Quiet that is one sick AF movie. I had to turn it off. Its an extremely hard watch
Crazy Lips. The whole thing but specifically there's scene where a detective goes to force himself on a girl but is killed then her family forces her on his corpse. That's the least offensive way to talk about that scene but holy shit is it fucked up.
It would take a massive amount of time and a house with no ventilation to kill everyone with exhaust. Obviously the one with the tube would work quickly though.
The most difficult and infuriating part of Speak No Evil was the fact that the man was a cringy whimpy pathetic excuse for a husband/father. Seriously, that dude did nothing to protect his family. You don't need to be a ex-special forces badass to fight for your family and yet... Ugggghhhhhhh!!! Why would you show a scene from Evil Dead Rise?????? It just came out for goodness sake. Don't spoil stuff!!!!! Or at least warn people to skip to the next chapter.
Idk if you've seen The Evil Dead franchise and/or tv series, but that's exactly what those movies had and why we loved them. It certainty isn't a movie that everyone can like it
@Enxhio Kotoni yeah I have seen them and guess what the evil dead raimi movies are dark humor first then horror okay they know exactly what they are the same for the fede version he picked horror over humor. The movie never once knew what it wanted to be
@@AkaManah45 I haven't watched this one yet so I'll take your word for it, your first description was exactly how my friend described the old ones to me, but I love them
Waiting for the day a top 10 in this channel it’s just about horror movies that haven’t been shown in the channel before. I’ll probably died before that ever happens lol
Lol! I understand if they don't always try to reach for the most indie, underground horror people haven't watched for every video because they want to highlight a lot of the horror people may be watching, or have watched, or have an interest in watching, etc. All the same, I think I'd just settle for one without Midsommnar being brought up ad nauseam. To quote Peter Griffin, "It insists upon itself." I watched it, I was very meh where it was concerned, and it's that one horror movie you hear people rave about being "horror elevated to art" like some people unironically claim Rick & Morty is "comedy only for smart people, har, har, har!" to the point that the only thing it succeeded in elevating for me is my opinion, which went from general indifference to exasperation and an eye roll every time I hear it mentioned. Even as far as the "genius of horror taking place in the daytime" trope, I wouldn't rank it above some other films that I feel did it better and captured a more haunting and disturbing mood. But hey, at least this time they held off until the second video of this kind to mention it. XD So maybe it's losing its luster a bit for the channel.
Oh man I definitely thought the tongue-rip from “Speak No Evil” was way worse than the ending! That was rough. Good call on “Gerald’s Game” though- that was horrifying! I felt like I went through “Eden Lake” with the protagonist- awesome film. “Men” was one of my favorite films from last year, even with that bonkers ending. I felt like “The Sadness” had some really great moments- the train massacre being the best in my opinion- but yeah, the eyeball thing was really pushing the boundaries, and I’m not sure if it was in a good way. I felt like they had established him as a horrific villain, and maybe they didn’t need that scene, but it definitely was memorable and keeps people talking about the movie, so maybe they made the right choice. The “Midsommar” family death scene was upsetting because my sister is my absolute best friend, and I liked the creativity, but I will say it was a bit confusing at first. It’s hard to land a gut punch of a scene for me if I’m trying to figure out what exactly is going on. I haven’t watched the first video list yet, so this may be already on there, but I would definitely nominate Allie’s death in “Terrifier 2.”
My boyfriend is gore person, or a horror person at all really. He'll occasionally enjoy a supernatural or psychological horror, but isn't a fan of things that are gory or bloody. I was on a Chinese/Taiwanese horror kick thanks to Incantation, and talked him in to watching The Sadness. We got to that eyeball scene in The Sadness, and he noped right out. Never had someone quit a movie I put on that quickly and throughly before. He got up, was like dude wtf are you making me watch, turned it off, and my choosing the movie privileges were instantly gone for months.
To me, Evil Dead Rises didn't live up to the hype. I've seen far worse trauma in real life compared to the cheese grater. The Last House on the Left was more disturbing and hard to watch than these films.
there was never a movie I couldn't finish until "the eye". Got to the scene where the lady is in the wheelchair, iykyk. Then I immediately turn it off. I still think about that :(
Please never mention Eden Lake, Men, and Midsommar in any more videos. I'm sick of them appearing on every list you guys make. There are other movies out there, really.
Gerald's Game is exactly why I will *never* do anything with handcuffs. My worst fear is the other person becoming incapacitated in some way leaving me stranded and helpless.
I'm fairly sure the premise of Megan Fox's latest or last movie is that she spends the entire movie handcuffed to her dead husband who confronts her about her cheating on him before handcuffing himself to her and shooting himself in the head.
2:13 "Gerald's Game hasn't quite stood the test of time as an all-time great like so much of Mike Flanagan's work." Is not only a terribly clumsy sentence... It's also a really dumb thing to say about a movie that not only came out in 2017 (which makes it way too recent for that expression), but also ranks in his top 3 according to both critics and audience scores on Rotten Tomatoes. Did an AI write this garbage ass video?
"Speak no Evil" is kinda dumb, those die because they are so servile, and because they are so "civilized" they allow all that to happen to those...I don't know what is hard to watch except the stupidity of being so servile, soft, and having no wish to stand against those...
