Most chilling deaths

Galwayguy35

Eden Lake, the scene at the end when the woman thinks she is safe.

Michael Fassbender is also in it.

Haven't seen it in a while, but remember the scene in Saving Private Ryan were the German soldier slowly sinks his knife into Adam Goldberg's chest creeping me right out.

This is my vote too, I was so angry when I first saw it. The chilling words of the German, the panic in the Americans eye when he knows he's lost, his mate struggling for breath, dying after getting shot a few feet away and the Popham being an actual coward at the bottom of the stairs.

Hannibal Lecter feeds Krendler his last meal in Silence of the Lambs 2 , cant decide if chilling or just OTT , but kinda wished I hadnt seen it

Even death in Frozen. Which absolutely should not be confused with the Disney movie of the same name. Dear God, that movie is essentially my nightmare.

Nope and definitely not after watching that movie.

Drive has a few choice gruesome deaths.Toss up between the head stomping in the lift and the head blown apart by a shotgun bit.

Wild at heart has two very gruesome deaths,the very hard to watch bit at the start where the black guy gets it and Willem Dafoes demise,another shotgun job.

The Nicholas Roeg movie Eureka with Gene Hackman has a really gruesome gun in the mouth suicide scene which is shown twice through flashback and theres another really graphic murder involving a machette and a blowtorch.

Banshee-main fella killing the albino in prison, savage!

Youngblood.III

Fury...watching the tank mush the body into the ground..shows the horror of been a nameless dead person in a war.

Jabba the Hutt in Return of the Jedi

That's the first movie I thought of as well for some reason, really simple but powerful survival movie.

Some of the deaths in American Sniper were quite chilling. The kid that

took a powerdrill to the head

in particular. It was off camera but so brutal.

In Buried,

the last scene where the bombs are going off above and the soldiers find the wrong shallow grave while his grave fills in with sand. That was a horrible way to go and just strikes at a basic fear of being buried alive.

Brief_Lives

I watched the film Sinister last night... and there is a death on there involving a lawnmower..
As someone on the Sinister thread poiinted out, you knoew it was coming, but still gave you that ugh feeling...

Chip Whitley

The scene that ends in death by eye-gouging in 28 Days Later freaked me out at the time. That whole film was pretty brutal for me at the time.

Glad I wasn't the only one freaked by Adam Goldbergs death in Saving Private Ryan. Stayed with me for years that one did. In a film full of violence and death it says a lot when a death late in the film can have such an impact.

Do you mean 28 Weeks Later?

No, the 28 Weeks Later scene was a callback to the scene in the first film. That was freaky too actually, but in 28 Days Later Cillian Murphy bashes in one of the soldiers heads but he's still alive so he thumbs him in both eye sockets.

loveisdivine

Not a death, but the torture of Paul Dano's character in Prisoners really got to me. It was so brutal and seeing his face after the beatings

shazzerman

The deaths of some of the POWS in the rat-infested prison "camp" scene in The Deer Hunter left me numb the first time I saw the film; and, of course, Nick's death was hard to take as well.
Kirk's demise in The Texas Chain Saw Massacre left me numb too, followed then by the more disturbing treatment of Pam.
Ben's death in The Night of the Living Dead is perhaps the most nihilistic of all.
I was with Philip Marlowe on the death of Elisha Cook Jr. in The Big Sleep: he was a harmless little guy who didn't deserve what he got.

How about this one from television? Drew Sharp, in Season 5 of Breaking Bad.

Padraig Mor

Pretty much all the deaths in Henry: Portrait of a Serial Killer are deeply chilling due to the completely amoral stance of Henry and Otis, and the documentary - style filming.

KilOit

The prolonged death scene in Martyrs is probably the most gruesome
but lasting memory would be some of the scenes in schindler's list or the pianist

iomega

Any scene from Casino...

billyhead

The death of Joe Pesci and his brother in Casino is horrific. Must add to the previous posted deaths the death from Aliens where he pops out of the stomach as the group are having their dinner. Also the death of Quint ( I think his name was) in Jaws was shocking when I was a young kid and was watching it for the 1st time.

Rippington

The stabbing of the guy in the boot of car by Pesci ,Liotta and De Niro in Goodfeallas is pretty disturbing and why I prefer to see shootings over stabbing .I hate knifes .

Gavin1

The guy being killed with the dagger in Saving Private Ryan, grim.

Comic Book Guy

Sonny Corleone's demise in The Godfather.

Was only about 10 when I watched the film, most of it went way over my head obviously but not that scene.

yerwanthere123

The Hills Have Eyes caravan scene.

Bacchus

Not sure are they "chilling" but some of the deaths in Indiana Jones certainly haunted me in my younger days and are still quite freaky...
- Yer man getting sucked under the big steamroller
- "You chose poorly"
- Heart ripped out, slowly dropped into lava while still alive

The quicksand death in Krull was another nightmare inducing scene.

In War of the Worlds (Cruise edition), the scene with Cruise looking out the window at a man being pinned down to the ground as a long sharp needle/tube plunged down on to him to suck out his blood. With the backdrop of the futility of the human resistance that was unnerving.

iomega

I can watch Schwarzenegger kill a whole army in Commando & not flinch, but the violence in films like goodfellas or casino scares the **** out of me.

darkdubh

Rhodes in Day Of The Dead where he gets ripped in half by zombies and lives just long enough to see them munching on his intestines.

bluefinger

Can't believe the killing at the end of full metal jacket hasnt been mentioned

.ak

How could I forget this??

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y688upqmRXo

Damnit, who's cutting onions in here?!

DrPhilG

Another TV moment.

The Walking Dead. Again a death that happens off screen, but when Carol and (can't remember his name) come back to the cabin and find that

one of the little girls has killed the other to let her turn.

"It's OK, I didn't hurt her head"...

Straight to the feckin naughty step for you wee girl.

Liam McPoyle

The suicide scene in Scum is incredibly hard hitting, likewise the suicide in Once Were Warriors.

In terms of someone being killed then the scene in Murder Set Pieces involving the little girl in the bathroom is tough going because it's something that is so rarely shown on screen ie the murder of a child.

Another one that effected me was in Men Behind The Sun when one of the prisoners is put in the pressure chamber and the pressure gets increased to such a degree that his intestines literally burst out of his arse. The fact that this kind of thing actually happened is what makes it so harsh.

Read the wikipedia entry on that film and then had a read about Unit 731. Off-topic, but Christ, I have the shivers after just reading about what went on.

FortuneChip

Animal Kingdom.

Pope drugs & smothers Jay's girlfriend

Ben Mendelsohn is a creepy creepy man!

Agree on Saving Private Ryan. The German's calmness is really unnerving. More than any of the gruesome deaths throughout the movie.

Ah I had forgotten about Krull, that scared the crap out of me when I first saw it. The spikes closing in on the walls scarred me more than the quick sand from what I remember.

Forgot about the spikes. There was another "wall closing in" death in it too with the cyclops holding the way open for the others to get through but ultimately getting crushed to death. That movie was messed up :pac:

It was horrific and sadly seems to be largely forgotten in the shadow of the Nazi atrocities. As a species we really can be unbelievably cruel.

Business Cat, I have a bone to pick with you - I spent most of yesterday evening/night reading about Unit 731, Project MKULTRA, etc with the result that I had the most horrific nightmares and woke himself up roaring like an ass But on a more serious note, I fully agree, we are a fked up species.

You should try watching the movie too so!

Some of the killings in Dead Man's Shoes are quite chilling,

particularly the ones where the lads have been spiked, and are all high as kites when they get it.



and also, in TV, for anyone that's watched Vikings, the Blood Eagle execution is pretty disturbing!

etoughguy

This came to mind right away for me: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zH8ynu0jRvY

The death of the

PA who was minding the kids

in Jurassic World. Also completely needless.

faceman

Spoilers ahoy. The original Wicker man.

Maybe it because I was a teenager when I saw it but it left me thinking about it for a long time after. The protagonists death. It wasn't graphic but it was the shock of it. He was burned alive with no hope of rescue or saving even though he was the good guy. And the town's people just danced and celebrated his sacrifice. His screams and cries for help. So chilling.

i never got to the end of that film for some reason.

These stick out for me:

The killing of Morey in Goodfellas. Tommy (Joe Pesci) sits in the back seat of the car behind morey , reaches around to grab his forhead and then rams a knife up through the back of his skull into his brainstem. He and Frankie also kill this guy called Stacks? by shooting in the head and afterwards while leaving the apartment they squabble over whether they should make a cup of coffee before leaving. Tommy meets a grisly end too in that film being shot in the back of the head and the camera sees the bullet making the exit wound.

Sopranos - Tony strangles some fella with glasses using an electric chord. He kneels on the guys back tugging with all his might while the veins in his neck bulge and the life slowly drains from his body until his head slumps to the ground.

Another strangulation one is some middle eastern/war on terror/CIA Spy type film where after a long chase through streets, some CIA guy strangles a terrorist mole to death with bare hands while slumped in the corner of a shower.

Strangulation deaths are particularly hard watching as they are often quiet scenes with both killer and victim in very intimate proximity with full eye contact and the victim slowly stops struggling and loses consiousness while the killer strains fiercely to maintain the noose grip. The eery silence is often interrupted by gasps and fumbling around as they struggle.

Irréversible - the guy who brutally raped Monica Belucci's character anally in an underpass is found by her friends in a nightclub and they kill him by bludgeoning him to death on the crowded dancefloor using a fire extinguisher. I'll never forget seeing it - the guy is kocked to the ground first blow of the fire extinguisher badly smashes in his face, after a few seconds he writhes and emits a disturbing moan. Another blow caves his head in badly and he has some sort of seizure and vomits. It was horrendous and had to be done with CGI to get the disfigurement of his head right.

Similarly, in Love/Hate when some fella is raping Siobhan at the back of a pub when her bf walks in. He assaults the rapist and breaks his neck. Nidge and others arrive and they are totally dismissive and cold about the rape and decide they have to "do something" about the gravely injured man. They contemplate dumping him in the road to make it look like a hit and run but decide against it. One of them grabs a beer keg and uses it to cave in the guys head to kill him.

The Casino killing is good. It's like the revenge of Billy Batts from Goodfellas.
Also the Saving Private Ryan one - Shhhhhh, shhhhhhh, shhhhh


Also, has anyone ever seen the mercy killings in Sanctum? Anyone who gets injured while the group are lost in the caves following a flood will not be able to get out so they have to put them out of their misery by drowning them. I thought that was very tough watching, particularly when its down to the last two, yer man and his father and he has to drown his badly injured father due to his severe injuries before escaping from the cave.

He kills the wrong guy; the actual rapist looks on and gives a cynical smile... Creepy indeed.

trashcan

Not a death, but when Kiefer Sutherland is buried alive by Jeff Bridges in The Vanishing, I found that pretty chilling. (I believe in the original (Dutch?) film that's where it ends, which is even more chilling.)

It's got to be the worst possible way to kill someone I would think.
