Most disturbing death scenes in sci-fi/horror movies?

The dudes heat exploding looked pretty real

There are plenty of more obvious answers but here's one lesser known one that kind of freaked me out. Sphere when one of the divers is attacked by a school of jellyfish, or crushed by the giant squid Pretty cool creepy deaths IMO. Leaving quite nasty cadavers

Not the most disturbing, but certainly my favorite of all time... [b]FROM BRIAN De PALMAS'S "THE FURY" !!![/b] [url=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6OokAt190jo&feature=related]TheFuryInTheFury[/url]

Chrissie Watkins in Jaws...the fact you dont see whats happening and you're forced to use you're imagination is terrifying, I still have a phobia of swimming Frank Cotton in Hellraiser (2nd death) is very graphic Even Lambert in Alien,its the imagination thing again

Always thought this was very well done for 36 years ago [url=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FLlSjyZupzU]Link[/url]

Spartacus! oh man

O.k. Lets get Busy ! IMO This...Is the single most disturbing scene in any sci fi horror film i have seen in the last 49 years and approximately 328 days. {I will be 50 June 15th} This is the only clip I could find of it, but I think all it is missing is right before what you see, a troubled man finds the place where his wife is being quarantined after being discovered hiding in her own home in London. She is an infected Carrier of a Zombie Like Virus but unable to get infected by it herself just carry it...and He sees her bends over and kisses her on her hospital gurney, and then this happens... I will never ever be able to shake these images from my mind., it is beyond any doubt, was, the single most enduringly disturbing scene I have ever seen filmed.

Bump I'm unbeatble tonight!

I'm telling you I am unbeatable tonight man !!! [img]http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v234/LT.HIGHTIMES/2.jpg[/img]

Sparty, Did you see all 3 Faces of Death documentaries? I think the 1st was the best.

Only watched this once before. Knew there was a reason why. Not Sci Fi but definitely horrific, Fire extinguiser scene from Irreversible. [url=http://www.liveleak.com/view?i=342_1182350754]Link[/url]

I'm a Flight Paramedic by trade, so I've seen a lot that I'd like to forget! I can tell you that reality is a lot worse than fiction (as usual), so it takes a lot to impress me. Sorry Spartacus, didn't even phase me. A shotgun blast to the face in which a patient survives is about as bad as it gets. That being said (and don't flame me), I'll never forget Dallas' plight in the vents. I saw it in the theater, I was young and impressionable and I was scared $h@!less for years. I just saw a glimpse of something nasty grab him from the dark so quickly that he couldn't scream! Instant death! He was the Captain, the cool guy, the one who could kill it! I was left to use my imagination and endlessly went over horrible scenerios. The death left to you is arguably the worst! Of course it was resolved (spoiled?) later by the director's cut. Just IMHO!

@abordoli YES, in fact I have but one comment... "sick" ! Most enduring image from all 3... the chick and the train at the start of the first one !!!

Oh yeah, on that note (my post above). How much would it suck to be snatched, manipulated, likely injured by that nasty creature, then totally immobilized in it's nest, injected with ??? (or doused) and then left to disintegrate/transform over a day or to into an egg? THAT is pretty gruesome. Not quick, nice and slow and painful. You're concious AND you can't even comprehend what is happening to you. If a team flew in and zipped you away to hospital (impossible in the movie), Staff would just stand around in disbelief and likely not want to touch you. That's a pretty horrible way to go!

Thanks a lot Spartacus! Blessings!

you rock man, this world needs more people like YOU and I guess in the end sadly for us, lol, Nicolas Cage !

[quote]Spartacus! oh man, thanks for the fury, when the guy explodes you see a flame come out of his rear like a fart igniting! I think it might have been a real snuff video! That was one real dumb[/quote] So incredibly pleased that you saw that my dear trusted friend !

The scene in the original "The Fly" where the guy is trapped in the web about to be eaten by the spider scared the crap out of me as a kid. I know by today's standards the effects are poor but the sheer look of horror on the guys face still sends chills up my spine. [url=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=14pIrRclWTY]Can't look[/url] In 1958 that probably had people running out of the theaters. Remember, in 1979 the chest burster scene in Alien had people throwing up in the aisle heading for the exit. To me a most memorable death scene in a movie is one that forces you to leave the theater.

@Ruhaniya I always thought the scene in your avatar from Starship Troopers was a pretty gruesome scenario. Getting your brains sucked out like a milkshake

HAY Jim 100 LOL ,,,,,,,,,,,

I think i need to mention there is a scene in the first Scanners movie where a dude in a lecture hall's head explodes after being invaded by telepaths, and this is an OLD movie. it was pretty shocking and gory for the time. The movie The Thing also has some crazy stuff that happens to live and dead people.

Saving private ryan when the storm trooper kills the American grunt with the knife whispering "Shhhhhhhhhhh" and the kid getting killed in Henry, portrait of a serial killer. By the way, I hate torture porn, (Hostel, Ichi the killer) even slasher movies, though I allways read reviews and recomend them to my friends! Gore has got to catch me off guard, then I enjoy it, but for some strange reason I don't go looking for it.

not a sci-fi flick, but definitely one of the least pleasant ways to [url=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sVHJGCaFkGY]die...[/url]

Is that a look of remorse on Henry's face @Spartacus?

BTW, the most beautiful, spiritually uplifting is Roy Batty's in Blade Runner, and now, I die, as his "spirit in the form of the dove leaves his body. I only had to watch it around 25 times before the spiritual implications hit me.

Well they're not death-scenes, but I've seen some disturbing, discomforting shit in the movie [url=http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Antichrist_(film)]Antichrist[/url]. It's a Danish horror movie released in 2009, banned in several countries throughout Europe and, I think, even banned in the United States. There are a couple of scenes that you'd think wouldn't possibly be allowed to be shown in cinema, that, as far as I'm concerned, you could only imagine in the darkest, most perverted regions of your subconsciousness. I won't detail them; just check the Wikipedia article and read the synopsis, unless any of you guys here have already seen it. @[b]Spartacus[/b] Ooo, 28 Weeks Later. Indeed that was an awesome scene. You could see Don was trying to fight it (who could fight it?), but Alice called his name and Don decided to give in and take it all out on Alice, who is strapped down, unable to do anything except receive a savage, messy end to her life. I still think the eye-gouge was a throwback to 28 Days Later, despite what the audio-commentary claims.

These are all awesome. I've seen a lot of them, but some are new to me. One that caught me by surprise was pyramid head ripping off that girls skin in Silent Hill. He does it so casually, no dramatic pause or anything, and the girls face really looks like she is in pain right when he grabs a fistfull of her skin. I had to watch that one a few times.

@whiskuz, thanks for reminding me of that SICK movie that I couldn't stop watching! That scene caught me off guard, along with the sheriff bake and barbed wire douche, ouch. There was some funky Italian film, I think Suspiria that was kind of jacked up too. I have an aversion to barbed wire and razors now. I saw previews for some Spa of death movie where everybody in the spa got yuckied, didn't watch it based on previews, very gory. I think the deaths that suck the most is like what was happenning to Dallas (turning into a face hugger, and skeleton key, knowing whats happening to you and having time to think about it. I say if I can't go peacefully in my sleep, make it quick!!!

Well, the ending of "Martyrs" is one of the most disturbing "death scenes" that I've ever seen...it's not that it's overly bloody, or painful looking, but it's the most disturbing one psychologically and physically. See it if you haven't...and see it in the original French before it gets made into some stupid Americanized version (which I think they're working on)...

Sci fi horror......rules out the whole last 20 mins of Audition then Has to be Scanners for me...you know the scene I'm talking about.

the guy spacing himself in the airlock in outland. and the air lock is full of exploded entrails. its pretty grusome.

.....maybe not the most disgusting scene ever but one that made me jump so bad i spilled my coke and popcorn all over the place....in the first grudge movie when that chinese chick goes up to the celler holding the lighter and that white faced mother ghost rips her yaw off...you don't see what happens......but later in the movie when you see the ghost minus her bottom yaw......you can pretty much figure out what happened.....but i nearly shat myself....for some reason that is one of the few movies that ever left me awake....oh and the transformation scene in American werewolf in london. Disturbing movies scene's would be that scene where they bludgeon Joe peschi to half to death and then bury him alive!....also some scenes from the blob!

otto: Martyrs - every bit as disturbing as it is brilliant. And the ending sticks with you for a looong time. and you're right, it'll get watered down and ruined if it gets Americanized. I can't think of ONE horror film, from Let the Right One In to REC to The Vanishing to [enter name here], that wasn't ruined by an American remake.
