Most evil death scene . . .

98.95.91.71

The talk down below got me to thinking about the subject and one scene instantly jumps into my mind it the knife fight between the German soldier and Adam Goldberg. Scary enough to fight with knives but then to have your attacker sweetly shush you into losing the last of your strength is pretty unsettling.

This is probably not what you intended, but for some reason the following movie murders have stuck with me. Probably because they were intended to be campy or funny, while I found the very thought of them to be revolting:

- In a horrible 90s comedy called "Nothing But Trouble", a group of New Jersey stereotypes is pulled over for speeding, convicted in a kangaroo court and summarily sentenced to death. A trap door opens and they fall through into a contraption out of an evil Tim Burton film. We hear heavy metal music while a roller coaster from hell transports them to an abattoir (called the "Bonestripper") run by fire-belching hot rod engines. They are dumped onto a conveyor belt and shredded by rotating blades and pistons; their bleached white bones are shot out the back into a target, falling into a large pile of other victims below. Hilarious? Um, no.

- In "The Naked Prey", a group of hunters is subjected to tortuous deaths at the hands of an angry African tribe. One of the men is hog-tied, encased in a thick layer of clay with a breathing tube in his mouth and rotated on a spit over a fire to be cooked alive. Seems kind of silly to remember this, but I saw the movie as a child and it haunted me.

- There is an old Vincent Price movie (can't recall the name) where he plays an actor (I think) seeking revenge against critics who gave him bad reviews. One critic owns a couple of white miniature poodles. Price kills the poodles and force-feeds them to the critic through a pastry bag, including balls of white fur. Blech!

Also, the hanging scene at the end of "The Ascent" because of who partakes in the hanging... gives me shivers - PhilJ 16:57:37 04/26/12 (0)

...the scene in Borgia, with two naked men suspended upside down, slowly cut in two (length-wise...) with a saw got my attention.
- Which Borgia was that? - mr grits 10:38:09 04/27/12 (2)
  I saw the full Euro version and four episodes of Irons version...how could I have dozed through that?
  
  There must be a Korean version?
  - The Euro one, of course... the one with Irons stunk of pig shit - Victor Khomenko 11:43:23 04/27/12 (1)
    Both are kinda European, but...
    This one! (Open in New Window)
    - Roight....that was the first one..... - mr grits 19:15:02 04/27/12 (0)
      you're right, the Irons version is way too slow. Plus, they tried to give Rodrigo some slack after his Popening.
In Audition - SPOILER!!! - I can not get this out of my head - PhilJ 18:47:21 04/25/12 (6)
whatever was in the burlap bag presumably died...

Takashi Miike can nail a scene
- The torture scene in Imprint was spot-on evil...... - mr grits 10:43:22 04/27/12 (5)
  Miike truly has some screw loose somewhere.

Lecter calmly swinging that nightstick while glorying in The Goldberg Variations was pretty effective,
possibly more for the pleasure he was deriving than for the actual violence it portrayed.

The...divinity... of evil.

    ... it's been panned alot but got me thinking about 'voyeurism/motivation' - other films that have done that to me are 'Salo' & 'Funny Games'.
    I think all three throw the question back at us.
    - Both the US and German "Funny Games" were hard for me to watch . . . - mr grits 19:16:55 04/27/12 (1)
      it is the ultimate bully film.

The beating of Joe Pesci and his brother in "Casino" - geoff 13:04:50 04/25/12 (2)

The last scene of "The Vanishing" (the original Dutch one) I think easily is the scariest. - tinear 11:45:56 04/25/12 (0)
No adrenaline rush of combat. No physical pain to shock the mind. Just, Poe-like, agonizing realization about the inevitability and duration of your slow agonizing death spiral.
Saw one last week in Scorsese's great Goodfellas - Road Warrior 11:27:19 04/25/12 (0)
Actually there were a couple but the most evil had to be when Tommy stuck the ice pick in the back of poor old Maury's head from the backseat of the Burick.

I agree about Goldberg's death being evil but I think Maury's was more cold blooded.

A good death was Tommy's killing, he needed a good killing and damned if he didn't get one. Almost as good as the one he got in Casino. Goodfellas has long had my vote as Scorsese's best.
