Most Shocking Death Scenes?
Hi everyone,
I was talking about this with a friend recently and thought it made a nice little forum thread idea. So, what are the most shocking death scenes in cinema? One that instantly springs to mind for me has got to be from the very start of Sinister. The very opening shot, straight away we see a family of 4 being hanged. It's just a single unflinching shot that seems to last for ages. What an opening! Once you see that, you know you're in for a very special movie! Another one that I thought of - completely different to Sinister! - is the death scene in Bambi. If you want to traumatise a kid, stick on Bambi...or Lion King! So what are your most shocking cinematic death or murder scenes? Which ones either made you jump back in horror, or burst with emotion? |

Yeah I remembered there had already been a list and a discussion somewhere
 I posted that one of the most ghoulish was in the 13 Ghosts remake where the Lawyer gets sliced in two the long way by the glass door

Best death scenes maybe, but I wouldn't really consider most of those to be particularly "shocking".

Yes, my list was best and not shocking.
And I remember that scene in the theater as well. People were very vocal about it.

The other one I can think of like this (although I am in no way saying the films are comparable) was Samuel L Jackson in Deep Blue Sea. Cut him of mid sentence!

the one that really got me is the first time I watched Ben get it after all he went through surviving the night in in Night of the Living Dead (1968)

No, the best death scene is Sigourney Weaver in Ghostbusters, when she gets pulled in a chair- that is awesome!
