I cannae open the list.

Attack of the Killer Tomatoes, Boonie.

The swimming pool scene is worse than anything in Chainsaw. Shiver.

BM, you didn't exactly make it that clear. I thought you wanted other members' top tens, too. It wasn't until I reread your post (after your put down of LL) that I realised you wanted commentary on that little list (which is, after all, only one guy's opinion)

TCM

Its the only one I've seen on that list..

Mai mee pen haa, luke!

This is Bedlam - right?

The goriest horror movie ever made was Evil Dead by Sam Raimi.. Makes all the others look like Finding Nemo.

Not gory to much but "Man Bites Dog" illustrates the killer instinct.

Straw Dogs - still illegal in England?

Full Metal Jacket

Saving Private Ryan

Saw 1, 2, 3

Resident Evil 1 & 2

Apocalypes Now (Directors Cut)

Hamburger Hill

disturbing thing is I have all of them

LKB

I've watched a LOT of horror/gore pics.

My senses are fairly numbed by them, and I often find myself laughing.

The one I was/am going to say IS on the list BM provides/

10. The Hills Have eyes - the original movie was alright. I found the remake to be pretty lame, though the daughter was cute.

9. “Two Thousand Maniacs!” (1964) - Haven't seen this.

8. “Cannibal Holocaust” (1980) - This was fantastical, but pretty crappy.

7. “Saw” (2003) - EXTREME CAUTION!!!! Awesome.

6. “A Clockwork Orange” (1971) - YEAH!!!!

5. “I Spit On Your Grave” (1978) - Haven't seen this (yet)

4. “The Last House on the Left” (1972) - was this the wes craven movie?

3. “High Tension” (2003) aka Switchblade Romance - I didn't think too much of this, but not sure if I'm thinking of the right movie.

2. “Hostel” (2006)

1. “The Texas Chain Saw Massacre” (1974) - a classic. Just finished d/loading it a few days ago, gonna rewatch it this weekend for the first time since I was a kid.

Although I'd rate SAW a close runner up for its outright violence, Hostel is one of the first movies to really creep me out. The gore of the torture scenes is so greusome, and graphically portrayed, and it blew my mind. I actually had to close my eyes at some points, and that never happens to me.

Can't wait to d/load the sequel

Reservoir Dogs is extremely realistic.

Jackass is pretty horrific at times !

yes it is but if you like those shows you have really got to see the The Dudesons : random quote: "who needs a thumb anyway?"

But yeah that bit in Saw with his foot... ... gives me the shudders just to think about it.

The goriest horror movie ever made was Evil Dead by Sam Raimi.. Makes all the others look like Finding Nemo.

Indeed.

The sequel was good too.

<deleted>, 86, now we gotta send em to Madame DeFarge's knitting classes so they understand the guillotine craze?

OK, I just downloaded that Hannibal one. If the neighbour's dog turns on me, you guys are to blame. At this time, Attack of the Killer Tomatoes is still my #1. Clockwork Orange was nasty, but not as creepy as The Exorcist. I was on a public bus and a guy boarded with a chainsaw not long after I first saw TCM. A*hole. Stank the bus up with the smell of raw diesel fuel.

Saw 2 has been out for about a year now, I have it on DVD as well as seeing it at the Cinema. Saw 2 has much more violence that 1 but Saw 3 which has been out for a couple of months is taking the violence right over

10. The Hills Have eyes (2006)- ok but just gory no story. I remember this describes as "the hills have no ideas"

9. “Two Thousand Maniacs!” (1964) - this is schlock horrer - do not bother

8. “Cannibal Holocaust” (1980) - Crap

7. “Saw” (2003) - the Saw series are very interesting. The gore is high and very realistic but it has a huge psychological factor as well. Scary, gory, but top class work

6. “A Clockwork Orange” (1971) - my ex wife (English) LOVES this movie - I think it is purile at best. I dislike all of Kubriks films as pretentious. The story idea behind clockwork orange is good but the film is very dated and over acted.

5. “I Spit On Your Grave” (1978) - This was banned in Australia as being too violent. I saw it in the states where I think it was called "the woman" It is the same story as "the hills" and "the last house"

4. “The Last House on the Left” (1972) - I think this was a very early Wes Craven film and became a recipe book for him and others since. I think from memory it involves a girl beaten and raped who starts tracking down everyone and coming up with more bizarre ways of killing them. It is very similar to "the hills have eyes

3. “High Tension” (2003) aka Switchblade Romance - this is a French movie which caused the Oz censors nightmares in what to cut and what to allow. I saw it on the night it was released in Sydney. The next day the cinema was banned from showing it after public protest. It is violent and very shocking but the part that upset the public was the lesbian sex scene and violence. In Oz you cannot have sex and violence in the same scene or it is automatically categorised as illegal. The censors recut the movie taking out a further 20 minutes and then it was re-released. A further reediting a couple of days later and the French distributers threatened to remove the film from distribution. The French consul had to stand up and defend the film as an Art Piece and an expression of artistic interpretation. I think that eBay and Amazon made a fortune out of copies of the original in French with English dubbing and subtitles imported into the country. As far as I know the film is still not available in Oz to rent, view, or buy. You can import it but not in its original form which means you can't import it.

2. “Hostel” (2006) - Eli Roth film - it is in a way a parody of all the Wes Craven et al slasher films but with added realism. If you like you blood in buckets you will love this one. Looking for a story - why the heck are you even thinking about this?

1. “The Texas Chain Saw Massacre” (1974) - a classic. Chainsaw is like Nightmare on Elm and Jason movies. It is rubbish, it is violent, it is scary, it is fun. That said I would not make it number one with a bullet (sorry)

C "where's the blood?" B

The OP said extreme violence which is a different genre to horror IMO.

One of the most violent I've seen is "Romper Stomper", an early Russell Crowe movie but for individual scenes in violent movies...Jake the Mus bashing his wife in "Once were Warriors"; and I'll always have the taste of concrete in my mouth when I think of Edward Norton jumping on that guys head in "American History X"

5. “I Spit On Your Grave” (1978) - Haven't seen this (yet)

It got banned pretty quickly in the UK but not before i had seen it. Very gory then but don't know if it would have the same effect nowadays.

Saw was also good.

Reservoir Dogs is extremely realistic.

Yep.

And although not as gory but very realistic was Scum. "Where's your tool?" ... "What tool" ... "This <deleted> tool"...."I'm the <deleted> daddy now"

I saw 'Saw'

not sure which one...could be 1 & 2 ....

yuk yuk yuk!

I dont like these kind of movies....yet theres something about them.....I watched the one with the sawing off his leg movie twice (cable!) I cant say why.......mesmerising is the wrong word......

what I thought was also quite yukky is the movie 'Seven' ....but also saw that movie twice.... I hate to admit this...but in my late teen years...a guy I kinda liked asked me to the movies.....once we got there he decided on 'Seven' and I went along and saw it again even though I saw it a week earlier .....now dont go tell anyone I was once a 'yes' girl

and what about Kill Bill? what adjective would you use for a movie like that? Im curious as to the english /adjective description of things........

and what about Kill Bill? what adjective would you use for a movie like that? Im curious as to the english /adjective description of things........

Ah yes, i liked Kill Bill 1 & 2 (Quentin Tarrentino is popping up alot in these lists).

I would describe them as extreme violence yes. However, not very believable, like some of the other movies mentioned.

The OP said extreme violence which is a different genre to horror IMO.

One of the most violent I've seen is "Romper Stomper", an early Russell Crowe movie but for individual scenes in violent movies...Jake the Mus bashing his wife in "Once were Warriors"; and I'll always have the taste of concrete in my mouth when I think of Edward Norton jumping on that guys head in "American History X"

That is a valid point. A film may have one scene of extreme violence such as the execution scene in Papillon or it may have a animal killed such as the buffalo in Apocalypses now. It may have several scenes of extremely realistic gore such as the ranger in Black Hawk Down who has had his legs and lower abdomen blown away. I think the scene when the ranger picks up a hand in Black Hawk and puts it into his mag bag on his webbing is poignant. I know it caused a lot of people a lot of squeamish stomachs. There also scenes in many other movies where the sudden rush of violence adds to the effect. The bullet to the throat of the French Para in the opening scenes of "We were warriors" is very realistic. The three you mentioned are films which had violence in it but the one from American History where the boy shot the dog was for me a very disturbing scene because it was so casual. The Kiwi guy who played Jake the Muz said that scene where he beat up on the woman playing his wife gave him nightmares for months afterwards. She said it scared the crap out of her when she saw his face and the fist coming at her head.

Films like the ones being scaled form one to 10 are more bloodfests in film. They use massive amounts of gore and violence as a form of entertainment instead of as a means to make a very important point. I made Saving Private Ryan one on my list. It has the highest body count and the most realistic use of violence of any film and far more than in any of the mentioned list of "most violent films" but it was done for a reason. Pte Ryan was shown complete in Australia after massive debate by the censors. It should have had large sections removed under the guidelines and been given a R rating. It was however decided that because of the story and the reason for the film it was given a M15+ and that was to give it a much wider audience. I saw the film when it was released and there were a bunch of smart arse lads who were getting all excited about the upcoming blood fest. The landing at Normandy scene shut them up for the rest of the film. I hope they learned something important from it because I think it one of the most powerful films ever made.

Thin Red Line was similar but lost it in direction - there are scenes in that film which make Chainsaw look like a Disney production.

I think films are a very effective way of communicating to us as humans. With the almost life like clarity of modern film and then HDTV plus the full surround sound experience it really feels like you are there. Using Black Hawk Down as an example on my much better TV I had in Australia plus the 5.1 surround sound hooked up and the sound properly balance you can hear the different sounds of the bullets as they pass your own head from the front to the rear speakers. I could tell the difference in sound from a AK47 round to a M16 and the occasional mistake the foley sound technicians made. At that level the movies become very real and being caught up in a real life fire fight is much scarier than watching some texas dork with a leather mask starting up a chainsaw.

I saw 'Saw'

not sure which one...could be 1 & 2 ....

yuk yuk yuk!

Saw 1 has the guy cutting of his own foot which is the basis of the film. Saw is a good movie - it has a lot of violence but there is an interesting story behind it. What would you do if you were placed in the same situation? What would you be prepared to do to stay alive which is the basis of human evolution and survival.

what I thought was also quite yukky is the movie 'Seven' ....but also saw that movie twice.... I hate to admit this...but in my late teen years...a guy I kinda liked asked me to the movies.....once we got there he decided on 'Seven' and I went along and saw it again even though I saw it a week earlier .....now dont go tell anyone I was once a 'yes' girl

Seven is one of my favourite movies. The interplay between the three key actors is excellent. It was a film that Kevin Spacey went from being a sort of odd ball support character into an actor in his own right. Seven has much less actual violence and gore than people think, what it does have is very disturbing themes. From memory it was based on a book called "sins" - not sure, I would have to google it. The book is much more explicit.

Another book of explicit gore made into a film is Easton's American Psycho - I think at one stage I worked for Jason Bateman in Sydney. He was an American working for Anderson (then called) Consulting and was almost perfect fit - don't know if he liked to kill and mutilate people in real life but he sure did it in the office environment. One of the few guys I have ever met where I would not shake his hand and hated being in the same room as him. A lot of the women really thought he was hot but a lot were really scared of him. Not for anything he did but there was a really dark energy behind him. Management loved him - I resigned and went to a different contract.

and what about Kill Bill? what adjective would you use for a movie like that? Im curious as to the english /adjective description of things........

Tarantino has to be a joke - come on now. He uses violence as a form of humour. The ear scene in Resevour Dogs has changed my ever playing that song (title has slipped my mind at the moment). The movie is an interesing story but clumsily told. Same as Pulp Fiction, From Dusk To Dawn, and Kill Bill 1 & 2. The sword scene in the restaurant was clumsy and idiotic. It was just a way of getting attention with "the greatest amount of fake blood spilled in one scene" If Taratino stopped trying to be funny he would make much better films.

Adjective to use with Kill Bill - schock horror

CB

Adjective to use with Kill Bill - schock horror

Is that a made up word especially for Tarrontino's films

Ok I 'fess I meant to write shlock horror but maybe Tarantino films deserve their own word so schockhorror fits.

Mine was the one where the redskins massacred all the inhabitants of a frontier town.

Can't think of the name of it

oh yes

" The Attack of the Killer Tomatoes'

You wanklette, 911.

Dunno, saw most of the latest offerings and watched that stupid cannibal holocaust last night (for sure, everyone cheers when the cannibals do the four young docu-a*holes in that one).

More of a Bambi Meets Gozilla gal meself, but these new gore flicks seem pretty worthless. Give me Dangerous Liaisons, Tootsie or Life of Brian.

I remember babysitting as a kid and the gore/horr flicks always came on at 1am on Friday nights. Scared me silly and I had to jump over the fence under a huge pine tree to go home. I gotta say, back then it was "The Birds" and a Vincent Price deluxe B baby called "Scream and Scream Again" -- scream wasn't as much gore as terror (you know, the one where the guy wakes up in hosp and one leg is gone, next time he wakes up one arm is gone, and so on).

I think you need a story, element of terror and then some gore. "Silence of the Lambs" was good for that.

A good Vincent Price movie, if I remember correctly, was Dr Phibes.... it may be tame now, but for the time period it was nasty.
